Essentials
Getting started with Ganyu
Ganyu is an all-in-one Discord bot: economy and mini-games, levels, support tickets, moderation, giveaways, social alerts… This guide walks you from inviting the bot to running your first commands.
Updated on
01 Invite the bot
Head to ganyu.fr and click Add to Discord. Pick your server, approve the requested permissions, and that's it: Ganyu is live on your server in under 30 seconds, no credit card required.
The invite includes the applications.commands scope: it's what makes the / slash commands show up in Discord. If you don't see any commands after adding the bot, this scope is almost always what's missing — reinvite the bot from ganyu.fr.
The requested permissions power the bot's features (manage roles for level roles, manage channels for temporary voice channels, and so on). You can remove some of them, but the matching features will be disabled.
Tip — Place the bot's role above the roles it needs to assign (level roles, auto-roles). Discord forbids a bot from managing a role positioned higher than its own in the hierarchy.
02 Your first commands
Every feature is available through slash commands: type / in a channel and Discord will show the list of available commands. A text prefix also exists for a few commands (see below).
/help [query] Shows the help and lets you search for a command. Alias: h.
/daily Claims your daily reward (Ganyu Coins, tickets…) and keeps your streak going.
/wallet [member] Checks your balance and recent transactions.
/level Shows your level on the server.
/profil show [member] Shows the graphical profile card.
/ping Checks that the bot is responding.
/uptime Shows how long the bot has been running.
/vote Grabs the links to vote for and support the bot.
Tip — Most game commands create your account automatically on first use: just run /daily to get started.
03 Pick your language
Ganyu speaks French, English, Spanish and Vietnamese. Each member can pick their own personal language, and an administrator can set (or even enforce) the server's. Your personal language takes priority, unless the server forces its own.
/language user set <language> Sets your personal language.
/language user reset Resets your personal language (back to the server's setting).
/language guild set <language> [is_forced] Sets the server language (admin); is_forced enforces it for all members.
/language guild reset Restores the server's default language (admin).
/language status Shows the language currently in use for you.
04 Translate a message
Need to understand a message in another language? The translation command translates any message in the channel into the language of your choice, without leaving Discord.
/translate <message_id> <language> Translates the targeted message (by its ID) into the requested language.
Tip — To grab a message ID, enable Developer Mode in Discord's settings, then right-click the message → Copy Message ID.
05 Set up your server
The full configuration (economy, levels, tickets, automod, welcome messages…) happens on the web dashboard at ganyu.fr: sign in with Discord, pick your server and browse the module tabs. Check out the The web dashboard wiki page for a full tour.
A few quick settings are also available as commands, like /prefix <prefix> to change the server's text command prefix (admin).
Tip — You don't need to configure everything at once: each module works independently. Start with Levels & XP and Economy & Ganyu Coins, then add Support tickets or Moderation & Automod when you need them.
06 Your account and progression
Your progression exists on two levels: a per-server inventory (the bulk of your gameplay — balance, level, community-tied items) and a global inventory that follows you across every server where Ganyu is present.
No manual sign-up is needed: your account is created on the fly the moment you run your first game command. See the Economy & Ganyu Coins page for currencies and rewards.
? Frequently asked questions
Q. Is Ganyu free?
Yes. All the core features are free. A premium subscription (server or player) unlocks higher limits and cosmetic bonuses — see the Premium page.
Q. Is the bot available in French?
Yes, French is fully supported. English, Spanish and Vietnamese are also available, per member (/language user set) or for the whole server (/language guild set).
Q. I don't see any commands, what should I do?
Reinvite the bot from ganyu.fr to make sure the applications.commands scope is granted, then restart your Discord client (Ctrl+R). Also check under Server Settings → Integrations that the commands aren't restricted to certain channels.
Q. Do I need to be an administrator to use Ganyu?
No. Any member can play, earn Ganyu Coins, level up or open a ticket. Only server configuration (dashboard, /prefix, /language guild set) requires admin rights.
Q. Where do I configure each feature precisely?
On the ganyu.fr web dashboard, one tab per module. Check out the The web dashboard page for the full list of configurable modules.
