# Ningguang

## Roles

* **On-Field DPS**
* **Burst DPS**
* **Support:** Energy Battery

## Character Breakdown:

* **Normal Attack** fires a homing **Geo** projectile.
* **Normal Attacks** that hit an enemy will grant Ningguang one Star Jade. 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

#### ![](/files/-MgIxnnLUog7ikP0v89m)

* 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.

#### ![](/files/-MgIxnnKuNWVK04NETuZ)

* Albedo provides **Geo Energy Particles**, **Geo Resonance**, and Off-Field **DMG**. His **Elemental Skill** cooldowns line up with Ningguang’s.

#### ![](/files/-MgJ-hpF4FowPHIad7Sk)

* 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.

#### ![](/files/-MgIxnn94J69ajjrp2QN)

* Bennett's **Elemental Burst** provides healing and a massive **ATK** buff, making him a recommended character in most teams.

#### ![](/files/-MgIxnn83PO_KJLh2P8e)

* Xiangling enables **Pyro Resonance,** provides an **ATK** buff with her **A4,** and can deal high amounts of **Pyro DMG** with her **Elemental Burst**.

#### ![](/files/-MgIxnnFmBkG9Krj3zWL)![](/files/-MgIxnnG0ePkjUS9ijNs)

* Fischl and Beidou provide extra Off-Field **DMG** and generate **Energy Particles** to recharge Ninnguang's **Elemental Burst** faster.

#### ![](/files/-MgIxnnB20no7pWkmOwk)

* Venti is useful for Crowd Control and grouping small enemies together, which allows Ningguang to take advantage of her **C1**.

#### ![](/files/-MgIxnnMX-vcutgBfFO2)

* 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

![](/files/-MgIxnnJf4Wx6YM4Ib1r)

* 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.

#### ![](/files/-MgIxnn0izIXtNz-_oRm)

* 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.

#### ![](/files/-Mgcxx1BeuVRbN_QzLiq)

* **Geo** cannot take advantage of **Viridescent Venerer** 4-set effect. **Anemo** does not provide anything for Ningguang aside from Crowd Control.

* Ningguang’s teams generally consist of 2 **Geo** characters to activate **Geo Resonance**, which is recommended because of **Geo**'s lack of damaging reactions.
* **Pyro Resonance** is used to buff **ATK**.
* Ningguang's attacks are not very effective against shields. As such, shield-breaking utility should be prioritized (if applicable) to maximize Ningguang's damage.
