Verified, Ganyu, Venti, Diona, Mona, Single Carry, Ranged, Energy Hungry, Tight Rotation, Freeze, F2P Gear, AoE

Pros

Very strong in AoE
Allows for hyper-investing into a single domain
High Freeze uptime
Great grouping
Not only retains its DPS in AoE, but increases as more enemies arrive
Ganyu snapshots herself if performed fast enough
Units are not highly contested outside of Freeze teams
Ganyu needs close pretty much no Energy Recharge

Cons

Mona is extremely Energy hungry (cannot use TTDS and must use an Energy weapon)
Does not do well against unfreezable enemies or in single-target
Many enemies cannot be grouped by Venti while unfrozen, though this can be offset by proper gameplay
3 5-Stars, with 2 being limited makes this team quite expensive

Verified, Ganyu, Bennett, Jean, Zhongli, Sunfire, The Energy Wants to make me cry, Single Carry, Single-Target, Reverse Melt, Circle Impact, Dynamic, F2P Gear

Pros

Extremely high levels of defensive utility
Easy VV setup
Scales well with gear and consellations
Still serviceable in AoE with Ganyu's Burst and Frostflake Bloom AoE
Cool as hell

Cons

Jean can knock away enemies
Can't reliably VV Pyro
The team is restricted to the overlapping area between Jean and Bennett Bursts
Ganyu's Charged Attacks must come out super fast so Bennett can catch the last tick of his Burst to lower his E CD
Shimenawa's and Hamayumi are both unusable in this team.

Verified, Ganyu, Zhongli, Kaedehara Kazuha, Bennett, Single Carry, Single-Target, But only really works in AoE, Reverse Melt, Fields, This team Sucks, F2P Gear, Join the Church of Favonius Today!

Pros

Big Damage Charged Attack Numbers

Cons

Insanely High Energy Costs
Timing is extremely tight to do 5 Charged Attacks and 4 is around 15% DPS decrease
Kazuha's Pyro Application in single-target is incredibly unreliable. Zhonglis E and Ganyu's E will gurantee that you loss control.
The setup is quite senstive and easy to mess up.
If the enemy is outside of Kauzha's Burst, no Pyro app.
Using 2 of the most highly demanded supports in the game, and Zhongli on top. All for this.
