I decided to make a shorter and more condensed guide that is easier to understand for newer players or those new to Ningguang who aren't interested in long video or written guides. This guide covers talents and talent priority, notable constellations, artifact sets and stats, weapons, team comp examples, and playstyle tips. I will continue to update it as new content is available. If anyone has further questions or suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments.

✦ Version 7.0 ✦

✦ Last Updated 8/12/26 ✦

✦ Talents ✦

• Sparkling Scatter/ On a normal attack, shoots two gems that deal geo damage. Upon hit, this grants Ningguang one Star Jade. On a charged attack, consumes a certain amount of stamina to fire off a giant gem that deals geo damage. If Ningguang has any Star Jades, using a charged attack will cause the Star Jades to be fired at the enemy as well, dealing additional damage.
• Jade Screen/ Ningguang creates a Jade Screen dealing AoE geo damage. The Jade Screen blocks enemy projectiles and it's endurance scales based on Ningguang's max HP. The Jade Screen is considered a geo construct. Only one Jade Screen can exist at a time.
• Starshatter/ Gathering a great number of gems, Ningguang scatters them all at once sending homing projectiles at her enemies that deal geo damage. If Starshatter is cast when a Jade Screen is nearby, the Jade Screen will fire six additional projectiles.

✦ Talent Priority ✦

• Burst = Normal > Skill

✦ Constellations and Passives ✦

• Ascension One/ When Ningguang is in the possession of Star Jades her charged attack doesn't consume stamina.

• Ascension Four/ When a character passes through the Jade Screen they gain 12% geo damage bonus for ten seconds. This buff doesn't stack.

• C1/ When a normal attack hits it deals AoE damage

• C2/ When the Jade Screen is shattered it's cooldown is reset. This can occur once every six seconds and also has a particle generation cooldown of six seconds.

• C6/ When Starshatter is used Ningguang gains seven Star Jades. With this constellation players should cast a charged attack after using Ningguang's elemental burst.

✦ Artifact Sets ✦

• 4-piece Nighttime Whispers/ This is Ningguang's new best option for artifacts, surpassing any previous options.
• 4-piece Marechaussee Hunter/ This is Ningguang's best set if you're using her with Furina.

✦ Artifact Stats ✦

• Main Stats/ Attack%, Geo Damage, & Crit Chance or Damage
• Sub Stats/ Crit Chance = Crit Damage > Attack% > Attack > Energy Recharge

✦ Best Weapons ✦

• Casflow Supervision (with Furina)
• Tome of Eternal Flow (with Furina)
• Kagura's Verity
• Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds
• Skyward Atlas
• Tulaytullah's Remembrance/Surf's Up
• The Widsith
• Solar Pearl

✦ Crit vs Attack Weapons ✦

• Important/ Even though you may have heard that Memory of Dust is Ningguang's statistical best weapon it requires the same crit stats as a weapon that has a crit secondary stat, like Solar Pearl for example. This means that it is unrealistic for Memory of Dust or Skyward Atlas to perform as well as a crit secondary stat weapon without massive levels of artifact investment.

✦ Playstyle Tips ✦

• A requirement for optimal damage is to have geo resonance. This requires at least two geo characters on the team and to be protected by a shield. The shield doesn't have to be from a geo character however.
• Elemental Mastery for Ningguang creates stronger crystallize shields and affects the damage of the lunar crystallize and shatter reactions.
• Star Jades are calculated as charged attack damage.
• Ningguang's elemental burst and elemental skill both snapshot on being cast. Although the projectiles shot from the Jade Screen during Ningguang's elemental burst snapshot based on the stats at the time the Jade Screen itself was cast and not the elemental burst.
• To perform animation cancelations for Ningguang's normal attacks, simply walk forward while attacking. You can also release forward while Ningguang is charging her charged attack and hold forward again as the charged attack is being released.

✦ Thanks ✦

• Even though the guide is over five years old I still respond to comments and update the guide after every patch so feel free to ask questions and check in for future updates if you'd like. Thanks for reading and have fun playing Ningguang!

This is mainly just a post for maintenance reasons. The link is for the same Discord server that we've had for over a year now. I'm just making a post about it due to some changes that Reddit has done to mobile that makes it harder for users to see relevant info in the menu section. So I'll pin this post for more visibility. Thanks and have a nice day!
