by To inaugurate the arrival of Inazuma, the third region of Genshin Impact , there was the character of Kamisato Ayaka , a swordswoman belonging to one of the most important families in the land of lightning. Kamisato Ayaka is a 5-star character of the Cryo element, who uses swords as a weapon. The young woman is part of one of the historical clans at the head of the Yashihiro Commission, one of the three governing bodies directly under the Raiden Shogun, which deals with managing the cultural and traditional affairs of the country.
Ayaka is a very strong character in battle, and in combat she sports an elegant sword style based on Cryo attacks. Let’s see which builds are better than him.
Main skills of Kamisato Ayaka
Ayaka is a character devoted primarily to attack. His normal attacks are very fast and can easily be combined in a combo with his Charged Attack that can deal multiple damage in one hit. His innate stat of hers is Crit DMG , which will increase as the character progresses. Let’s now look at Ayaka’s main abilities in Genshin Impact .
- Elemental Skill: Kamisato Art: Hyouka – Ayaka causes a circle of ice to appear on the ground that deals Cryo damage to all enemies within. Very fast in execution, it can be easily tied to a combo.
- Elemental Burst: Kamisato Art: Soumetsu – Ayaka releases an ice storm that deals continuous Cryo element damage to all enemies in the attack area. Eventually the storm will explode with a hit that will deal even more damage.
Ayaka also has a special ability related to her sprint . By shooting the character she covers herself with a fog of ice that hides her presence, allowing her to move at high speed and even pass over the bodies of water. When she comes out of this state, she infuses her weapon of hers with the Cryo element , doing so all of her normal attacks will deal elemental damage instead of physical damage.Play
In developing talents , normal attacks and Ayaka’s Burst take precedence as DPS, without neglecting the Elemental Skill.
The best weapons for Kamisato Ayaka
Let’s see what are the recommended weapons for Ayaka in Genshin Impact .
- Mistsplitter Reforged : 5-star sword considered the most suitable weapon for Ayaka. This katana is able to power up whenever a normal attack that deals elemental damage is used, when an Elemental Burst is used, and when the energy for the Burst is not at maximum. The weapon increases its levels up to 3 by inflicting 8/16/28% bonus elemental damage related to the element of the character holding this sword. The weapon also gives 12% more base elemental damage simply by equipping it.
- The Black Sword : One of the best 4-star swords for Ayaka. Increases the damage of normal and charged attacks by 20%. Additionally, it converts 60% of the character’s attack value to HP when a normal or charged attack deals critical damage.
- Amenoma Kageuchi : Another 4-star sword that can be easily recovered through in-game blueprints. This katana allows you to generate a Succession Seed every time an Elemental Skill is used. Up to 3 Succession Seeds can coexist and each lasts 30 seconds. When using an Elemental Burst, Seed regenerates 6 points of energy to the character.
Best Artifacts for Kamisato Ayaka
Let’s see what are the best artifacts to equip in Ayaka in Genshin Impact .
- Blizzard Strayer: When it comes to Ayaka, there are no big alternatives. Blizzard Strayer is the perfect set for her . With two pieces it will increase the Cryo damage by 15%, with 4 pieces it will increase the Crit Rate by 20% every time an enemy is hit by the Cryo element. If the opponent is frozen the Crit Rate will increase by an additional 20%. Ayaka is based solely on ice damage, so you will understand that this set is the absolute best for her, especially paired with a Hydro character. As a variant, if you want to focus a little more on pure attack you can try to make a set with two parts of Blizzard Strayer and two of Gladiator’s Finale to get a bonus to basic attack damage.
As for the main stats to use:
For the Sand it is better to use one with ATK%, the Goblet obligatorily Cryo DMG and the Circlet a choice between Crit DMG and Crit Rate, depending on the statistic you need. Also for the substats of each artifact try to get artifacts with ATK% or ATK and Crit Rate and Crit DMG to maximize Ayaka’s damage, although we know how difficult it is with the RNG of this game to get a really good Artifact.
Ultimately Kamisato Ayaka
Ayaka is a character meant to be a DPS , and as an element Cryo is one of the best in the game, thanks to her ability to infuse the element she is attached to in each of her attacks. To create a team with her as the main DPS you will need a Hydro character , and in this case Xingqiu is unsurpassed with her ability that allows her to inflict Hydro status constantly even when she is not in the field.
The Ayaka + Xingqiu combo will render many enemies helpless as they will be constantly frozen . As a third character we recommend Diona , another Cryo archer who will act as healer, support and battery for Ayaka. As a fourth, however, you can vary a lot: Venti or Kazuha can be fine, whose Burst is very synergistic with that of Ayaka, since it attracts enemies in a single point, or even an Electro or Pyro character to increase the possibility of elemental reactions.
