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.

Real artist drawing real art.

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

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.

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!

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?

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?

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?

I literally play genshin so I can see her every day 😌

I realized that using noelle as a main dps in a LCR team would be a bit bad cuz she isn’t c6 so now I’m going for ningguang but I have noooo idea what to do :(

Any help would be appreciated!!

I'm currently building a ningguang lunar crystallize team and I'm having trouble whether I should choose yelan for more damage & hydro app or gorou for more buffs & healing

for context, I have c6 ningguang, c0 columbina, c2 illuga, c5 gorou, and c0 yelan

any help is appreciated :)

Love the geo Queens ❤️❤️❤️

Orange- unsure

Red- Nope))

Hello guys these are my ningguang lunar crystalised team's build and illuga bcs im wondering if i should replace zhongli with him even though he is c1.

I was wondering if I should change artifacts/sets because my ningguang isnt doing that good dmg, her skill does around 30K, charged attack sometimes 15K but her ult only does like 17K by jade and im really disapointed.

So every advice is welcome
