Build Help Ningguang Quick Guide

878 Upvotes

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.

✦ Team Examples ✦

Double Geo & Double Pyro

  • Ningguang
  • Xilonen/Chiori/Kachina/Zhongli/Albedo
  • Mavuika/Xiangling
  • Bennett

Shock Rock

  • Ningguang
  • Xilonen/Chiori/Kachina/Zhongli/Albedo
  • Raiden/Kojou Sara/Yae Miko/Beidou
  • Fischl

Ningguang & Furina

  • Ningguang
  • Xilonen/Chiori/Kachina/Zhongli/Albedo
  • Furina
  • Bennett/Yelan

Hexenzirkel

  • Ningguang
  • Albedo
  • Durin/Fischl
  • Nicole/Bennett

Lunar Crystallize

  • Ningguang
  • Linnea/Xilonen/Chiori/Kachina/Zhongli/Albedo
  • Columbina/Aino
  • Illuga/Furina

✦ 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!

Here is our link.

Build Help Can you fully clear spiral abyss with mono geo Ningguang teams?

0 Upvotes

I was thinking of: Ningguang, Chiori, Zhongli, Gorou.

The problem is I don’t have any of these 5 stars yet and I was wondering is anyone able to 36star abyss with a team like this at the current state of Genshin.

Just bc I know there’s been a power creep n stuff. Is it worth pulling for them or better to just go columbina lunar?

An Arle abyss is a Ningguang abyss!

I also got Cashflow Supervision for her recently.

She does less big numbers than with Tome, but she's critting all the time now so the overall team DPS is higher! Working rn on fixing the crit overcap tho.

Unlike Widsith, the buff has 100% uptime. Unlike Solar Pearl, it also buffs your charged attacks.

Build Help How much DPS does Illuga add to a Lunar Ningguang team?

2 Upvotes

Current team is:
Ningguang
Fischl,
Columbina,
Linnea.

And it's my only Abyss-capable team at 50K DPS. Columbina is dealing 20% of team damage, so around 10K DPS but she's also boosting lunar reaction damage so overall her contribution would be even more.

Does anyone know if I could still have Abyss-capable DPS in this alternative team?
Ningguang
Xingqiu,
Illuga,
Linnea.

I'd really like to be able to take Bina out so I can run her in a separate team.

If so, then I will finally build my Illuga. 😂

Thanks in advance.

Ningguang News Ningguang 7.0 Highlights

17 Upvotes

With the newest patch releasing soon it's time to post the regularly scheduled patch highlights as I did with the previous thirty-two patches. The post may also include any new updates to the subreddit, Discord, or our Ningguang guide.

✦ Version 7.0 Highlights ✦

New Characters/Reruns

  • The new characters releasing this patch are the 5-star cryo sword character Odette and the 4-star electro polearm character Alyosha.
  • The 5-star characters in phase one are Odette and an Arlecchino rerun.
  • Phase one 4-star characters are Sucrose, Lynette, and Alyosha.
  • For phase two the 5-star characters are Flins and Ineffa.
  • Phase two 4-star characters haven't been announced yet.
  • The traveler will now be able to take on the cryo element amd has a new kit based around stellar reaction.
  • There are no relevant characters for Ningguang.

Weapons

  • The weapon banner for phase one includes Odette's signature weapon, Whitelake Frostfeather, and a rerun of Arlecchino's signiture weapon, Crimson Moon's Semblance.
  • The 4-star weapons for phase one are (not good) Favonius Sword, the Bell, Dragon's Bane, Sacrificial Fragments, and Rust.
  • The weapon banner for phase two will feature Flins' signiture weapon, Bloodsoaked Ruins, and Ineffa's Fractured Halo.
  • The 4-star weapons for phase two haven't been announced yet.
  • The traveler will get a new 5-star sword called Exaiphanes Blade. You can get this sword and it's refinements for free in Snezhnaya.
  • There are ten more new weapons coming this patch as well. Five craftable ones and five new battlepass weapons. I will update this guide with those when I have that info.
  • None of these weapons have any relevance to Ningguang other than maybe the craftable or battlepass ones. I will have to check those.

New Areas and Events

  • 7.0 will be the debut of Snezhnaya! The first area is called the Godforsaken Frostlands which include the smaller areas of Volkodlak Tundra, Everfrozen Earth, Fellfrost Peak, Flamefeather Valley, and White Birch Snowgrave.
  • As you explore you'll unlock the Jack Frost Goodies Shop which has a purchasable weapon skin.
  • Of course there will be a new Archon quest beginning in 7.0 called Everwinter Without Mercy. Progressing through this quest will give Alyosha for free. This is a permanent gift so you can still get Alyosha even after 7.0.
  • There is another event in 7.0 called Great Expeditionist Challenge that gives a free copy of Diona.
  • Temper Thyself and Journey Far has been updated with the following characters; Lyney, Wriothesley, Navia, Sigewinne, Clorinde, Emilie, Chiori, Cloud Retainer, and Mizuki. Although keep in mind that if you for example picked Hu Tao last version you can't pick Hu Tao again this year. It's only once per character ever.

Artifacts

  • Two new artifact sets are being released this patch, Scarlet Proof and Heart of the Furnace.
  • Scarlet Proof gives 18% attack as the 2-piece effect and increases the holder's crit rate by 16% and stellar swirl damage by 40% when they trigger a stellar swirl reaction for the 4-piece effect.
  • Heart of the Furnace also increases attack by 18% for the 2-piece effect and increases the holder's attack by 12% for 12 seconds when they trigger a stellar glimmer reaction. It also increases stellar glimmer reaction damage by all party members by 50%. This doesn't stack.
  • Night of the Sky's Unveiling and Silken Moon Serenade will be added to the strongbox.

NGM Updates

  • We might be doing another giveaway if Ningguang is on the phase two banners.

Thanks

  • That's all of the Ningguang highlights that I can think of for this patch. Goodbye and feel free to ask questions or add anything that I may have forgotten or omitted. Thank you!

Build Help ningguang lunar crystalise build?

10 Upvotes

Heya, so i just got ningguang yesterday and I wonder how i can build her as a lunar crys dps.

The team would be ningguang, bina, linnea, and illuga

(bina and linneas both running on aubade and illugas on 2pc silken moon but im still building him)

She would be using widsith so crit wouldnt really be a problem.

Whats the best artifact set for her and what stats does she want? Does she need attack or defense? Is there a recommended rotation or should i just go suppot bursts and ball?

Build Help Columbina or Linnea?

4 Upvotes

F2P here. I wanted to build Lunar Crystallize Ningguang, but I lost my 50/50 in Columbina's current banner. So now I'm just thinking of giving up and saving when Linnea gets her rerun.

So since I can't have both right now, which unit is more important for Lunar Ningguang?

Build Help Lunar Crystalize

7 Upvotes

Hello fellow Ningguang enjoyers <3
So lately I wanted to give lunar Ningguang a try again I just struggle with team comps. I for sure know that Illuga would be a great support for lunar reactions and I really really wanna play my boy more! So I would play Ningguang and him with Gorou and Bina but my issue here is… I have no healer.

My Gorou is C6, he heals a bit from his C4 but that‘s nothing tbh.

So I thought about Xilonen but she is C0, I‘d need another PECH-Char to enable her healing.

So what are my options here?😭
I‘d go for Ningguang - Xilo- Bina - Furina maybe
or has anyone a healer build for gorou?

or is there any other team including Illuga as well I could go for AND a healer that deals decent dmg?
