# 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
#### 
* 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.
#### 
* Albedo provides **Geo Energy Particles**, **Geo Resonance**, and Off-Field **DMG**. His **Elemental Skill** cooldowns line up with Ningguang’s.
#### 
* 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.
#### 
* Bennett's **Elemental Burst** provides healing and a massive **ATK** buff, making him a recommended character in most teams.
#### 
* Xiangling enables **Pyro Resonance,** provides an **ATK** buff with her **A4,** and can deal high amounts of **Pyro DMG** with her **Elemental Burst**.
#### 
* Fischl and Beidou provide extra Off-Field **DMG** and generate **Energy Particles** to recharge Ninnguang's **Elemental Burst** faster.
#### 
* Venti is useful for Crowd Control and grouping small enemies together, which allows Ningguang to take advantage of her **C1**.
#### 
* 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
* 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.
#### 
* 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.
#### 
* **Geo** cannot take advantage of **Viridescent Venerer** 4-set effect. **Anemo** does not provide anything for Ningguang aside from Crowd Control.

[**Geo**](/teams/teams/geo.md)
####    
* 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.
