In this guide, we will show you the Best Ayuka Build in Genshin Impact!
Best Ayaka Build: Genshin Impact
Ayaka is an amazing Cryo character who can permanently freeze enemies and dish out tons of damage with many different teams and builds possible.
Talents and Playstyle
A lot of her playstyle is defined by her unique dashes, which will actually infuse your normal attacks and charge attacks in Cryo.
When Ayaka pops out of her unique dash, she applies Cryo onto enemies and also, will infuse the attacks with Cryo, because all of Ayako’s attacks are basically Cryo, allowing you to spam your charge shock and do pretty good damage, and permanently freezing enemies when paired with hydro support.
You can also increase the normal and charge attack damage after using your elemental skill thanks to another passive talent. Your elemental skill is a pretty straightforward ability that does AOE Cryo damage around Ayaka.
Elemental burs is an insane ability that unleashes a snowstorm in front with an incredible scaling on every single hit.
It is most recommended to play a freeze Ayaka style, as that is how you get the most value out of her kit.
Artifact Sets
Her artifact sets are pretty straightforward. There is a 4B set that is designed for Ayaka, which can permanently freeze enemies and capitalize on the insane bonuses of a 4-piece blizzard sprayer. It is a very strong set for any character who can utilize it efficiently.
Blizzard Sprayer will give you Cryo DMG Bonus 15% and the 4-piece set is straight-up overpowered giving you a total of 40% critical rate, 20% against characters affected by Cryo, and another 20% against the enemies that are frozen.
Artifact Statistics
For Ayako, as with most DPS, you are obviously looking to maximize your damage. In order to do that for Ayaka specifically, since you generally running the blizzard set which gives a ton of crit rate, you will also gain some crit rate from the Cryo resonance.
The most important thing that you need on your Ayaka is enough energy recharge to be able to use your burst reliably on cooldown as it is a significant part of your damage.
In fact, crit damage is typically the best DPS and more recommendable option. Attack percent can sometimes be better if you already have a ton of crit damage, or if you have better sub statistics.
Do keep in mind that a lot of buffs from your team are attack percent like a lot of characters on your team can give to your Ayaka some attack, making an attack percent circlet worse the more buffs you have.
Weapons
Amenoma Kageuchi is a really good free-to-play option. You can craft and refine this weapon for free at the blacksmith. It is a weapon that gives you a lot of attack percent and a really good effect restoring your energy.
Not only the attack percent is very important on carries like Ayaka, but also its effect will passively give you some energy. Because of that, this weapon is very good and especially the more you need the energy that it gives you.
The next weapon, is the five star weapon, the Blackcliff Longsword. This weapon is mostly recommended if you don’t need that much energy, but need a lot of crit damage.
The main inconvenience with this weapon is that the passive can be hard to stack, and since your burst snapshots, it can be hard to buff your burst.
The Mistsplitter Reforged is the best weapon for Ayaka as it suits her perfectly. It has an insanely high base attack, and crit damage on the statistics which is amazing but also has a really good effect giving an elemental damage bonus straight up and even more every time you stack it.
It provides a 12% elemental damage bonus, and it activates the Mistsplitter Emblem after Ayaka lands a normal attack. This ability has three levels, dealing 8%, 16%, and 28% elemental damage bonus depending on which attacks Ayaka uses and how much energy she has left.
Ayaka Team Composition
If you want to trigger the freeze elemental reaction, your party needs to have a Hydro character like Mona who is generally one of the strongest choices. Xingqiu is also a good option because he can easily apply Hydro with his abilities.
All the Ayaka’s elemental abilities have a high energy cost, and because of that, you need to include a supporting character on your team that can quickly build energy for you. For this, we recommend someone like Diona or Venti as these characters synergize well with Cryo characters and offer plenty of recharge.
