How to build Ningguang as main DPS/sub DPS in Genshin Impact
Best weapon: Memory of Dust
Alternatives:Skyward Atlas, Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds, Solar Pearl, The Widsith
Whether Ningguang will be taking the field as a main DPS or a sub DPS, you’ll want a weapon that focuses on increasing her damage output.Memory of Dustis great for this — it increases Shield Strength while also increasing ATK after scoring a hit on an opponent.Skyward AtlasandLost Prayer to the Sacred Windsare also great 5-star Catalysts for Ningguang, as they both provide Elemental DMG Bonuses.
However, Ningguang is a beast with 4-star Catalysts as well. Can’t get a hold of her 5-star weapons? Aim forSolar Pearlif you’ve got the Battle Pass orThe Widsithotherwise. Solar Pearl will increase your Normal Attack DMG upon using an Elemental Skill or Burst and your Skill/Burst DMG upon using a Normal Attack, allowing for a well-rounded DMG increase. The Widsith grants new characters taking the field a random ATK, Elemental DMG, or Elemental Mastery Bonus.
Best artifacts for main DPS: 2-piece Archaic Petra and 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale or Shimenawa’s Reminiscence
Alternative:Retracing Bolide
Best artifacts for sub DPS: 2-piece Archaic Petra and 2-piece Noblesse Oblige
Alternative:2-piece Archaic Petra and 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale or Shimenawa’s Reminiscence
With our recommended sub DPS setup, your Ningguang will have a 15% Geo DMG Bonus and a 20% Elemental Burst DMG boost, which is great if you’re mostly going to be using Ningguang’s Burst and not much else. Alternatively, swapping out Noblesse Oblige for aGladiator’s FinaleorShimenawa’s Reminiscencewill grant you an 18% ATK bonus, making her Normal Attacks much more viable. Here are our recommended stats and substats for a sub DPS Ningguang:
Talent priority for main DPS: Normal Attack
As with almost every main DPS, if Ningguang is the party member you’ll be utilizing the most, level up herNormal Attackfirst, and only level herElemental Burstand thenSkillwith any spare materials.
Talent priority for sub DPS: Starshatter (Elemental Burst)
If Ningguang is your sub DPS, prioritize her Elemental Burst first and then her Elemental Skill. You likely won’t need to focus on her Normal Attack much, so this can mostly be ignored. Here are the rest of Ningguang’s talents:
Party composition: Main DPS build
5* alternative:Zhongli replacing Geo Traveler as support
Party composition: Sub DPS build
5* alternative:Arataki Itto replacing Noelle as main DPS
If you’re going to pair any element with Ningguang, another Geo character is your best bet. Aside from granting Ningguang a Geo buddy, you’ll also get the Geo Elemental Resonance buff, which increases your team’s overall Geo DMG. LettingNoelle(who’s great at Constellation 6 in this particular team composition) fill the main DPS role on your team is great for this reason. However, if you pulledArataki Itto, he’s also a great Geo main DPS that’ll fill this role nicely.
Since Geo can react with most other elements, the last two spots on your team are pretty flexible. However, setting Noelle up withXianglingandBennettas well allows for the Pyro Elemental Resonance Buff, which provides a pretty nice ATK bonus of 25%.

Even atConstellation 0, Ningguang is pretty strong considering her 4-star rarity. However, atConstellation 2, Ningguang’s Jade Shield gains much more time on the field, giving your team a much stronger shield as well as a great source of damage. AtConstellation 6, Ningguang gains 7 Star Jades upon using her Burst, which greatly increases the damage her Charged Attacks are able to do. Here’s what the rest of Ningguang’s Constellations have in store:
