Daughter of the Yashiro Commission’s Kamisato Clan, Kamisato Ayaka is a 5-star cryo character that was introduced in Genshin Impact 2.0. Players can build her as Elemental DPS or regular DPS. If you’ve pulled for her then you definitely need the best build for her. Luckily here’s a guide to Kamosato Ayaka’s best build.
Ayaka DPS Build
The best Ayaka DPS build is:
- Sword: Mistsplitter Reforged
- Artifacts: Blizzard Strayer (four-set)
Weapon
Mistsplitter Reforged’s high base attack, a secondary stat that boosts the wielder’s critical hit damage, and its special skill that increases Elemental damage are all ideal for Ayaka. It grants a 12% increase in Elemental damage from the start and gives the user a Mistsplitter Emblem when they either:
- Deal Elemental damage with a normal attack
- Cast an Elemental Burst, or
- Have Energy at less than 100%
You can also opt for the Blackcliff Longsword if you can’t afford the five-star option as this is easily Ayaka’s best free-to-play weapon. You can purchase the Blackcliff Longsword from Paimon’s Bargains.
Artifacts
Clearly, Blizzard 4 set artifact is ideal for Kamisato Ayaka because of the following:
- 2-piece effect: Cryo damage +15%
- 4-piece effect: CRIT rate increases by 20% if the foe is afflicted with Cryo and increases an additional 20% if the opponent is frozen
To trigger the freeze elemental reaction, your party needs to have a Hydro character. Xingqiu is the best option as he can easily apply Hydro with his abilities, and he can deal large amounts of damage without needing to be on the field. It is also important to have a supporting character in the team for quick energy build. Venti might be a good option to pair with Ayaka as a supporting character because his elemental skill launches enemies into the air, giving Ayaka a great opportunity to deal damage.
Last but not the least, in order to maximize Ayaka’s powerful elemental burst, don’t forget to include a Cryo support character on your team. Rosaria is a great option and she can help increase Ayaka’s crit rate even further with her Shadow Samaritan passive talent. Another powerful support option would be Ganyu as she can keep enemies grouped together using her abilities.
