4-Piece Blizzard Strayer Makes Ayaka Easier To Build

While 2 piece ATK% 5 star Artifact and 2 piece Blizzard Strayer has higher damage potential. 4-Piece Blizzard Strayer makes it a lot easier to build Ayaka because of the amount of Crit Rate it provides. It is recommended to use 4pc Blizzard Strayer as a transition artifact while you are still farming for your final set.

2-Piece Blizzard Strayer & 2-Piece Noblesse Oblige For Burst Support

This build for Ayaka focuses on increasing the Elemental Burst of Ayaka which is already very powerful on its own. This build, however, decreases the damage from Elemental Skill, Normal Attacks and Charged Attack. If you want to use Ayaka with another DPS (double DPS teams), it is recommended to use this build.

Ayaka Story Overview

The Eldest Daughter Of The Kamisato Clan

With her family leading the Yashiro Commission, Ayaka is admired for her lady-like grace, beauty, and kindness. She's well-versed in different cultural arts and is seen as perfect by her peers.

Recruits The Traveler To Their Cause

It's Ayaka who approached the Traveler to help in going against the Vision Hunt Decree of the Shogunate. Although she's not part of the frontlines, it's her initiative that drives the rebellion forward.

Voicelines About Kamisato Ayaka

Voicelines About Kamisato Ayaka
Yoimiya	About Seriousness: We cooperate a lot due to work. Unlike people in the other two Commissions, she always lets me finish speaking and answers me seriously without showing any impatience. I'd say that the word "ladylike" was practically made just for her About Baths: We once discussed matters concerning the summer festival deep into the night. We were both really tired, and I invited her to go take a bath. But when she heard that it involved many people bathing in the same pool, she went red in an instant! That was when I first learned that noble ladies can't use public baths
Kazuha	I'm sure everyone living in Inazuma has heard of the Shirasagi Himegimi. The lady of the Kamisato Clan is as perfect as person can be, though our paths have seldom crossed. I wonder what she thinks of the state of Inazuma today?
Kujou Sara	In the Kujou household, normally the only sound to be heard is that of soldiers training in the dojo. But in the Kamisato household, there is the sound of music, dance, bickering, and laughter... I have heard that Miss Kamisato is skilled in the game of Go, and have always hoped for an occasion to pay her a visit, but... I also worry that someone of a serious demeanor like myself may not quite fit in there.
Gorou	The Yashiro Commission operates as part of the Shogunate, but on many issues they tend to side with the people of Inazuma. In fact, the Shirasagi Himegimi has managed to establish an excellent reputation for herself, despite facing pressure from both sides. I suppose she must know how to keep her composure at all times and navigate sensitive situations tactfully... There's much I could learn from her.
