Best Ayaka Build Guide – Genshin Impact

Kamisato Ayaka has been long-anticipated from Genshin Impact 1.0, and ever since her release in version 2.0, this sword-wielder quickly became a part of the game’s meta. Of course, this is no surprise as Miss Kamisato proves to be a powerhouse on the battlefield, making her a popular character among the fanbase. If you’re planning to get Ayaka in her first rerun banner, then this guide will help bring the most out of the Cryo Princess.

Best Artifacts For Kamisato Ayaka

The best Artifacts you can use on Kamisato Ayaka are:

1. 4-piece Blizzard Strayer               
2. 2-piece Blizzard Strayer + 2-piece +18% ATK set
3. 2-piece +18% ATK set + 2-piece +18% ATK set
4. 2-piece Blizzard Strayer + 2-piece Noblesse Oblige

If you’re using Blizzard Strayer, remember that it performs best in a Freeze composition. By pairing the Frozen reaction and Cryo Resonance, Ayaka can get an easy 55% Critical Rate. But, if you only use Blizzard Strayer alone, this number is bumped down to merely 20%.

In Genshin Impact 2.6, we have four Artifacts with the same +18% ATK effect on a 2-piece. You can use any of these if a 4-piece Blizzard Strayer is unavailable:

• Echoes of an Offering
• Shimenawa’s Reminiscence
• Gladiator’s Finale
• Vermillion Hereafter

Best Stat For Kamisato Ayaka

For her Artifact main stat, Kamisato Ayaka should use:

• Timepiece – ATK%
• Goblet – Cryo Damage Bonus
• Circlet – Critical Damage

Because Kamisato Ayaka’s best Artifact in Genshin Impact is Blizzard Strayer, you can ignore raising her Critical Rate. But, without a 4-piece Blizzard Strayer, Ayaka has to normally pay attention to her Critical Rate.

Best Weapons For Kamisato Ayaka

The best weapons for Ayaka in Genshin Impact are:

1. Mistsplitter Reforged    
2. Summit’s Shaper
3. Primordial Jadecutter    
4. Skyward Blade
5. Blackcliff Longsword
6. Black Sword    
7. Amenoma Kageuchi
8. Harbinger of Dawn

Of course, Mistsplitter Reforged is the best weapon for Kamisato Ayaka. It offers Critical Damage sub-stat, perfect for a Cryo character. Following behind Mistsplitter, you can use either Primodial Jadecutter or Summit’s Shaper. Do note that a shielder is necessary if Ayaka is using Summit’s Shaper. Lastly, if you’re using the Cryo Princess as a Sub-DPS, then Skyward Blade will help a lot in regaining her Elemental Burst.

Meanwhile, for the 4-Star options, F2P players can use Blackcliff Longsword, Amenoma Kageuchi, and Harbinger of Dawn. Blackcliff Longsword and Harbinger of Dawn, like Mistsplitter, also have Critical Damage as their sub-stat. You can buy Blackcliff from the Paimon’s Shop, while Harbinger of Dawn is a 3-Star sword obtainable via Wishes. As for Amenoma Kageuchi, you can forge this sword and equip it on Sub-DPS Ayaka.

Kamisato Ayaka’s Talent Priority

Freeze team composition is highly crucial for Kamisato Ayaka. Not only does it enhance Blizzard Strayer’s effect, but it also greatly helps her Elemental Burst to deal consistent damage. If the enemy isn’t Frozen, her Burst will likely move away from the target, causing a major DPS loss. Therefore, when it comes to Ayaka’s Talent, you should prioritize:

Main DPS Talent Priority:

• Elemental Burst
• Normal Attack
• Elemental Skill

Without a Freeze team, you can prioritize Ayaka’s Normal Attack over her Elemental Burst.

Sub-DPS Talent Priority:

• Elemental Burst
• Elemental Skill

With the proper build, Ayaka will easily become one of your best Genshin Impact DPS, so make sure to follow the listed items. Afterward, you can check out other Genshin Impact content on our site to learn more about the game.
