This build is centered around increasing the damage across all of Ayaka's attacks. This will allow her to be an on-field Cryo main DPS that can deal a good chunk of DMG even with just her Cryo normal attacks.

For this build, the focus is on increasing the damage for Ayaka's Burst. She can still act as an on-field DPS, but most of her damage will come her Burst instead of her Normal Attack. Also good for quick swap teams.

Crit Rate/Crit DMG Weapons Are Best
When it comes to Ayaka's weapons, it's recommended that you use high rarity weapons that have either a Crit Rate or Crit Damage sub-stat. The Mistsplitter is her BIS weapon, but the Primordial Jade Cutter is a good replacement for it.

Weapon | Details | |
---|---|---|
Best | ![]() | CRIT DMG 44.1% (Lvl. 90) - High Elemental DMG ceiling - Crit DMG sub-stat makes it easy to build CR/CD - Might encounter energy issues, but can be fixed with a battery in the team |
2nd (F2P) | ![]() | ATK 55.1% (Lvl. 90) - Best 4-star weapon for a Burst DPS Ayaka - Will provide good damage and energy |
3rd | ![]() | CRIT Rate 44.1% (Lvl. 90) - Provides additional ATK depending on the character's HP - Crit Rate sub-stat makes it easier to build CR/CD |
4th | ![]() | ATK 49.6% (Lvl. 90) - High Base ATK and additional ATK from sub-stat - Weapon skill provides additional ATK when you hit enemies |
5th (F2P) | ![]() | CRIT DMG 36.8% (Lvl. 90) - Can be used as a stat stick for Ayaka - Get the most out of the weapon when fighting multiple enemies |
Better To Not Build Energy Recharge In Weapon
Although this is a Burst DPS build, it's not recommended that you use a weapon with an Energy Recharge sub-stat. You can alleviate this with either a Cryo battery or ER artifact stats so it's best to leave your weapon for CR/CD or ATK%.
Amenoma Kageuchi Is A Good Weapon For This Build
Although the Amenoma Kageuchi is not a 5-Star weapon, it's one of the best weapons for this build because it will allow Ayaka to get her Burst up quickly without sacrificing her damage.

Notes About Team Comps For Ayaka
Due to Ayaka's kit, she's limited to mostly being an on-field DPS. You can use her for quick swap, but she really shines the most as an on-field DPS due to her continuous Cryo application with her Normal Attacks.

Uses Of Ayaka's Elemental Skill

Most Of Her Damage Comes From Skill + Attack
Ayaka already has an high damage scaling for her normal attack but this is further powered when her elemental skill hits. Maximize the damage of Ayaka by juggling between these two.
Applies Cryo To Multiple Enemies
Enemies within Ayaka's Skill will take Cryo damage if they are within their range. This is a quick and easy way to apply Cryo to a whole group of enemies.
Uses Of Ayaka's Elemental Burst
Continuous Cryo DMG Great For Frozen Enemies

Ayaka's Elemental Burst summons a powerful wave of Icy Wind that will greatly damage enemies on its path. The wind slows down once it lands on the opponents enabling multiple damage tics and Cryo infliction.
Knocks Back Enemies
Ayaka's Burst works similar to Diluc's wherein it pushes back enemies. Take note of this when using her Burst since you may end up missing out on DMG trying to follow after knocked back enemies.
Should You Pull for Ayaka's Constellation Or Best Weapon?
Prioritize Mistsplitter Reforged
Signature VS Constellations |
---|
![]() |
Mistsplitter Reforged Is a Universal Sword
Ayaka's Signature Weapon is considered universal due to the Crit DMG substat, easy-to-stack passive and generous amounts of Elemental DMG bonuses it gives, allowing a variety of on-field and off-field characters to benefit from it. Unsurprisingly, for Ayaka herself, Mistsplitter Reforged will perform better than her other weapon options, and it will be a solid boost to her personal damage overall. Consider getting her Signature Weapon to upgrade her damage and to act as a good Crit DMG sword for other characters that would appreciate its buffs.
C2 Is a Good Stopping Point
It may be better to invest into Ayaka's ideal supports over her constellations in the long run, but if you would like to vertically invest in Ayaka directly, C2 is a good starting and stopping point. This is mostly due to the 2 additional instances of "Frostflake Seki no To", which will feel good into bosses or heavy enemies that are a distance away from each other, therefore raising her damage potential. It is liable, however, to blow smaller and lighter enemies further away from Ayaka, which can be bothersome to chase after if they are not frozen. Anything beyond C2 will be nice additions to have, provided you have the means to do so.
Of course, Ayaka is still capable of dealing competitive damage with the right conditions at C0, so pulling for her constellations over the alternative options, in general, will be based on how much you like Ayaka and how far are you willing to invest.
Recommendation if You Have Primordial Jade Cutter |
---|
![]() |
Primordial Jade Cutter is a Viable Option, With Caveats
Like her Mistsplitter Reforged, the Primordial Jade Cutter is a universal sword option, but with Crit Rate instead of Crit DMG for its substat. Ayaka can equip the Primordial Jade Cutter and produce decent results with it damage-wise, but due to its the Crit Rate, it may be difficult to balance her Crit Rate and Crit DMG to an ideal ratio, especially since Ayaka typically has other sources of Crit Rate through the Blizzard Strayer's set effect, artifact stats, and Cryo Resonance. If you can manage to get mostly Crit DMG on your artifacts for her, then Primordial Jade Cutter is a good alternative and you can move to getting Ayaka's premiere supports or her own constellations.
Mistsplitter Reforged will result in an easier time balancing Ayaka's Crit Rate and Crit DMG, so you might still want to consider it since it's good to have on any account.
