As sub-DPS Ganyu will also deal the most damage from elemental Burst and charged attacks. But here you’ll need Xingqiu as support and source of Hydro for freezing reaction. Xingqiu is better than Mona for melee main DPS characters. Here it is Ayaka. Together with Ganyu she will deal a lot of damage.
