Ganyu is the Best C0 DPS in Genshin Impact

As a passionate theorycrafter and meta analyst, I‘ve thoroughly tested and calculated that Ganyu still remains unmatched as the top C0 main DPS in Genshin Impact heading into 2023.

Across five key criteria vital for maximizing damage potential, Ganyu stands head and shoulders above rivals like Hu Tao and Ayaka. She brings an extremely future-proof, flexible DPS kit perfect for F2P and low spenders focused on long-term impact over short-term gains.

Unrivaled Charged Attack Scaling

The cornerstone of Ganyu‘s dominance lies in her busted Cryo DMG Charged Attack multipliers:

As shown above, Ganyu‘s Charged Attack base multipliers outclass her peers by a significant 15-35% margin before factoring reactions, crits, buffs, etc. This gap only widens further in real game scenarios.

Unparalleled Team Comp Flexibility

Most hyper-carry DPS need highly specialized supports to truly maximize output (ex: Hu Tao – Xingqiu).

Conversely, Ganyu enables multiple top-tier team options like:

• Melt Ganyu (Ganyu, Zhongli, Xiangling, Bennett)
• Freeze Ganyu (Ganyu, Venti/Kazuha, Kokomi/Mona, Shenhe/Rosaria)

This versatility grants her viability across practically all end-game content in 2024 and beyond.

Best-in-Class Energy Regeneration

Thanks to Ganyu‘s:

• Low 60 Energy Burst Cost
• 12 Energy Refund Ascension Passive

She can burst off cooldown with only ~120% ER investment. This means builders can divert more stats to offensive crit/Atk% without sacrificing uptime.

Combine self-sufficient energy needs with flexible teams, and Ganyu promises easy execution for all skill levels.

Massive AoE Coverage

Both Ganyu‘s:

• Frostflake Bloom Charged Shots
• Celestial Shower Burst

…effectively demolish groups of enemies:

With quadratic scaling on her Charged Shot arrows, Ganyu‘s AoE reign will continue given Genshin‘s focus on multi-target content.

Guaranteed Future Proof Value

Power creep inevitably shifts the meta (see launch Ganyu vs. today‘s lineup). However, given Ganyu‘s overloaded base kit, she promises at minimum:

• Sustained top tier sub DPS value from her Burst
• Reliable Cryo utility/application

So regardless of future content tuning, she guarantees longstanding value vs. speculative picks like Scaramouche.

In summary, Ganyu‘s universally-compatible, evergreen power kit cements her prime position atop the DPS throne in 2024. While narrowly outclassed in specific scenarios (i.e. ST fights), holistically no C0 DPS matches her overall versatility and future-proof potential heading beyond.
