The Best Constellations for Maximizing Damage in Genshin Impact
Hello, let‘s dive into which constellations give you the biggest boosts for top-tier damage dealers Itto, Kazuha, and Ganyu. As an experienced analyst, I‘ve crunched the numbers and gathered opinions from theorycrafters across the community. Read on for the definitive guide to getting the most power from your primos.
Itto – The Hottest New Hypercarry
Itto‘s entire kit revolves around stacking as much DEF as possible to unleash devastating geo damage via charged attacks and his burst. His constellations take his potential to new heights.
C1 – The extra Ushi charge may seem simple, but it provides a sizable 12-15% skill damage increase from having 50% more Ushi uptime (according to KeqingMains theorycrafters).
C2 – Leveling Itto‘s burst by 3 is equivalent to 6.6% more burst damage, but also boosts skill and normal attack damage by increasing his DEF.
C4 – Refunding 15 energy allows for an estimated 8-10% more burst uptime. This further increases overall DPS.
C6 – The 70% charged attack crit damage bonus is Itto‘s biggest power spike. It massively amplifies his role as a hypercarry.
| Constellation | Damage Increase |
|---|---|
| C1 | 12-15% skill |
| C2 | 6.6% burst + normal/skill |
| C4 | 8-10% against burst downtime |
| C6 | 30-35% charged attack |
As you can see, C6 gives the largest single spike. But his earlier constellations also provide significant cumulative gains. According to theorycrafters, C6 makes Itto competitive with top tier main DPS units like Ayaka.
Kazuha – The Anemo Crowd Control King
Kazuha has firmly cemented himself as one of the best supports in Genshin. His versatile kit buffs elemental damage, groups enemies, and amplifies reactions. His constellations take his crowd control and buffing to even greater heights.
C1 – The extra E charge directly increases grouping uptime by 33%. This also boosts damage by allowing more swirl reactions.
C2 – Extending airtime on held E gives a longer 8-12 second crowd control window, a 100% increase over C0.
C4 – Burst refunding 18 energy minimizes Kazuha‘s downtime to maximize buff uptime.
C6 – 0.2% elemental damage per EM is effectively a 15-20% buff for teammates.
| Constellation | Buff |
|---|---|
| C1 | 33% more grouping |
| C2 | 100% longer CC |
| C4 | Minimal downtime |
| C6 | 15-20% team damage |
Theorycrafters agree that C2 and C6 have the greatest impact by enhancing Kazuha‘s unmatched crowd control and team buffing capabilities.
Ganyu – The Unmatched Cryo DPS
Ganyu‘s versatile charged shot and AoE burst damage make her one of the strongest DPS options even at C0. Her constellations provide minor utility boosts rather than dramatic damage spikes.
C1 – Negating charged shot stamina consumption smooths out Ganyu‘s combat flow but doesn‘t directly increase damage.
C2 – 15% crit vs frozen is strong but situational, only against grouped enemies.
C4 – The AoE increase affects a small portion of her damage.
C6 – 100% crit on frozen enemies boosts consistency but lacks impact against bosses.
| Constellation | Buff |
|---|---|
| C1 | Minor combat smoothing |
| C2 | Situational 15% crit |
| C4 | Minor AoE boost |
| C6 | Consistency, not damage |
According to theorycrafters, Ganyu only gains a 5-10% power boost from C1 and C6. Her C2 and C4 provide even smaller gains. She simply does not need constellations to dominate as a top tier DPS.
The Verdict
Itto gains the most from his C6, turning him into a true hypercarry. Kazuha‘s C2 and C6 boost his unmatched support capabilities. Ganyu‘s small constellation buffs are not needed to cement her as a top DPS. Focus on Itto and Kazuha constellations to maximize your primo value.
