A maximum of three Star Jades stacks can be held at once. * When Ningguang performs a **Charged Attack**, all Star Jades will be released and target opponents. * When Ninguang has a Star Jade, her **Charged Attacks** will not consume **Stamina.** * **Elemental Skill** summons a Jade Screen that deals **Geo DMG** and remains on the field to block incoming ranged attacks. The Jade Screen counts as a **Geo Construct**. * **Elemental Burst** fires 6 homing projectiles at nearby enemies. If a Jade Screen is present, it is shattered into another 6 similar projectiles. ## Additional Note: * Ningguang's damage primarily comes from her **Charged Attacks**, **Elemental Skill**, and **Elemental Burst**. * **C2** can reset her **Elemental Skill** cooldown if the **Jade Screen** shatters under any circumstances, including from a recast of her **Elemental Skill**. * **Elemental Skill** has a six-second internal cooldown on **Energy Particle** generation. * Ningguang has a very simple **Normal** and **Charged Attack** combo, as **Star Jades** are only given on hit, not upon performing a **Normal Attack**. The following rotation is typically used to consistently make her **Charged Attacks** cost no stamina: * `NA → NA → CA` * where: `NA` = **Normal Attack** `CA` = **Charged Attack** * Ningguang's **Normal Attack** animation can be cancelled, allowing her to perform them faster. This can be done by holding down on a walking direction while doing **Normal Attacks**. ## Works well with #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d365258013043339afd9b50f0fc306ff84b6dac6%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Zhongli.png?alt=media) * Zhongli is the most ideal pairing for Ningguang because of the **Geo Resonance** buff. His shield is extremely durable and debuffs nearby enemies' **Elemental RES**. Together, these two effects greatly increase Ningguang's damage. #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-66db327a44c13416e67b711a7921d64139ef0204%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Albedo.png?alt=media) * Albedo provides **Geo Energy Particles**, **Geo Resonance**, and Off-Field **DMG**. His **Elemental Skill** cooldowns line up with Ningguang’s. #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-72c225e98d2563c79e496947236673b0cfd7b93c%2Fui_avataricon_aether_geo.png?alt=media) * Traveler (Geo) provides **Geo Energy Particles,** **Geo Resonance**, and a **CRIT Rate** buff. He also has cooldowns that line up with Ningguang's. However, he lacks Off-Field **DMG**, forcing frequent character swaps. #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a3126049bd01daa498b0309add40ebfef1ae6072%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Bennett.png?alt=media) * Bennett's **Elemental Burst** provides healing and a massive **ATK** buff, making him a recommended character in most teams. #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-90de69ae1e491f2ef557fb022efed8d27aed54c0%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Xiangling.png?alt=media) * Xiangling enables **Pyro Resonance,** provides an **ATK** buff with her **A4,** and can deal high amounts of **Pyro DMG** with her **Elemental Burst**. #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ed31e9b84512a6cdcc470ab0891b8a6939cc3aba%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Beidou.png?alt=media)![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4529a24bf1ac00ca2773e02798685028e4643ad4%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Fischl.png?alt=media) * Fischl and Beidou provide extra Off-Field **DMG** and generate **Energy Particles** to recharge Ninnguang's **Elemental Burst** faster. #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-181206af32361771ab12be632ea58e5eb6e7687a%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Venti.png?alt=media) * Venti is useful for Crowd Control and grouping small enemies together, which allows Ningguang to take advantage of her **C1**. #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-74a5672fb0993c68fd1bdf8b663f41bffd81c15f%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Mona.png?alt=media) * Mona provides taunt utility, an **ATK** buff (through the **Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers** catalyst), and her signature **Omen** debuff. ## Does not work well with ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4198981d3d309ce3fd787a69829682baa5a935dc%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Xingqiu.png?alt=media) * Xingqiu isn't necessarily bad with Ningguang (as any Off-Field DPS works with a **Geo** Team), but his potential is wasted as Ningguang’s attack sequence generally does not line up well with Xingqiu. * He is better used on teams where his utility and **Hydro** application greatly benefit other On-Field DPS characters. #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4be83ca2d0fa2ace4c346eb8d8ad7795c4bd9c42%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Chongyun.png?alt=media) * Chongyun doesn’t provide anything else aside from damage through his **Elemental Burst**. Chongyun's **Elemental Skill** does not affect Catalyst On-Field DPS characters. #### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3b7fdd9e701353d0554b2c2591487a39f6eefd85%2Fui_icon_anemo.webp?alt=media) * **Geo** cannot take advantage of **Viridescent Venerer** 4-set effect. **Anemo** does not provide anything for Ningguang aside from Crowd Control.

As such, shield-breaking utility should be prioritized (if applicable) to maximize Ningguang's damage.
