Ayaka Best Build

Ayaka Cryo Main DPS Build

Weapon	Mistsplitter Reforged
Substitute	1. Primordial Jade Cutter 2. Summit Shaper 3. The Black Sword 4. Blackcliff Longsword (F2P)
Best Artifact	Blizzard Strayer x4
Artifact Stats	Sands: ATK% Goblet: Cryo DMG Bonus Circlet: Crit Rate/Crit DMG
Priority Sub-Stats	1. Crit Rate/Crit DMG 2. ATK% 3. Energy Recharge

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.

Ayaka Burst DPS Build

Weapon	Mistsplitter Reforged
Substitute	1. Amenoma Kageuchi (F2P) 2. Primordial Jade Cutter 3. Summit Shaper 4. Blackcliff Longsword (F2P)
Best Artifact	Blizzard Strayer x2 Noblesse Oblige x2
Artifact Stats	Sands: ATK% Goblet: Physical DMG Bonus Circlet: Crit Rate/Crit DMG
Priority Sub-Stats	1. Crit Rate/Crit DMG 2. ATK% 3. Energy Recharge

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.

Ayaka Best Weapon

Cryo Main DPS Build

	Weapon	Details
Best	Mistsplitter Reforged	CRIT DMG 44.1% (Lvl. 90) - High Elemental DMG ceiling - Crit DMG sub-stat makes it easy to build CR/CD
2nd	Primordial Jade Cutter	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
3rd	Summit Shaper	ATK 49.6% (Lvl. 90) - High Base ATK and additional ATK from sub-stat - Weapon skill provides additional ATK when you hit enemies
4th	The Black Sword	CRIT Rate 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - Increase Normal Attack & Charged attack damage - Provides healing whenever you score a Crit hit Crit Rate sub-state will help build CR/CD easier
5th (F2P)	Blackcliff Longsword	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

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.

Burst DPS Build

	Weapon	Details
Best	Mistsplitter Reforged	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)	Amenoma Kageuchi	ATK 55.1% (Lvl. 90) - Best 4-star weapon for a Burst DPS Ayaka - Will provide good damage and energy
3rd	Primordial Jade Cutter	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	Summit Shaper	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)	Blackcliff Longsword	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.

Ayaka Skill Guide & How To Use Ayaka

Recommended Rotation For Ayaka

	Recommended Rotation
1	Use Elemental Skill to buff your normal attack and dash towards the enemy
2	Attack until the Cryo infusion ends and dash once again after then continue attacking
*	Use your Elemental Burst for finishing

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.

Ayaka Wish & Constellation Guide

Should You Get Or Wish For Ayaka?

Pull If You Need A Cryo DPS

Ayaka is a top-class DPS that deals powerful Cryo attacks. She can imbue her sword with Cryo whenever she uses her sprint. This allows her to have an almost 100% uptime for Cryo application. She has good scaling and can fit in most Cryo-reaction comps.

Best Constellation For Ayaka

Rating	Constellation Effect
★★★★・	C1: Snowswept Sakura When Kamisato Ayaka's Normal or Charged Attacks deal Cryo DMG to opponents, it has a 50% chance of decreasing the CD of Kamisato Art: Hyouka by 0.3s. This effect can occur once every 0.1s.
★★・・・	C2: Blizzard Blade Seki No To When casting Kamisato Art: Soumetsu, unleashes 2 smaller additional Frostflake Seki No To, each dealing 20% of the original storm's DMG
★★★・・	C3: Frostbloom Kamifubuki Increases the Level of Kamisato Art: Soumetsu by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
★★★★★	C4: Ebb And Flow Opponents damaged by Kamisato Art: Soumetsu's Frostflake Seki No To will have their DEF decreased by 30% for 6s.
★★★・・	C5: Blossom Cloud Irutsuki Increases the Level of Kamisato Art: Hyouka Waters by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
★・・・・	C6: Dance Of Suigetsu Kamisato Ayaka gains Usurahi Nutou every 10s, increasing her Charged Attack DMG by 298%. This buff will be cleared 0.5s after Ayaka's Charged ATK hits an opponent, after which the timer for this ability will restart.

Constellation 4 For Highest DMG Increase

With constellation 4, when using Ayaka's elemental burst the opponent's defense will decrease to 30%, and giving more Cryo damage towards the enemies. This makes Ayaka's already powerful Elemental Burst more devastating.
