Kamisato Ayaka Guide and Best Builds (2024)

Last updated on Feb 01, 2024 at 23:45by Alextros

Ayaka's primary method to deal damage is through her Elemental Burst Kamisato Art: Hyouka which deals the vast majority of her damage,while simultaneously applying Hydro through other charactersto trigger the status Frozen. This further increases her damagevia the artifact set she primarily uses.

Mistsplitter Reforged is by far her best weapon,as she is able to utilize the entire passive effect. It also having the highest base ATKamong Swords (tied with Aquila Favonia) and has CRIT DMG as its Sub stat. Haran Geppaku Futsu is a great sword to use, granted the CRIT Rate as sub stat isless desired. However, do not pull for this weapon specifically as Mistsplitter is better. Absolution was added in Patch 4.7, having the same stat scaling as Mistsplitter, whichis why it makes it onto the weapon list.It comes with an additional 20% CRIT DMG from its effect, however the 2nd part relies on triggering Bond of Life, which is going to be hard on Ayaka at the moment.

One of Ayaka's best 4 Star weapon options is Amenoma Kageuchi which is craftable.While the base ATK on this weapon is rather low, it makes up for that with up to55% ATK as substat and alot of free energy. This lowers the need for Energy Rechargeand at R5 you can nearly forego any Energy Recharge, bar having it rolled onto anartifact or two (About 110% should suffice).

The reason why CRIT Rate is devalued with Ayaka, is due how Freeze's worktogether with the Blizzard Strayer 4 piece bonus.If you have double Cryo in your team alongside Ayaka as her Burst costs 80 Energy,you will gain Cryo resonance. This gives you 15% CRIT Rate on targetswho are affected by Cryo or are Frozen. Blizzard Strayer gives you 20% CRIT Rate on targets who affected by Cryo or40% CRIT Rate if the target is Frozen. This means you have +55% CRIT Rate just fromyour artifact set and Resonance on Frozen targets, which is more than enough CRIT as a general.

Setting up Ayaka's Kamisato Art: Soumetsu is the most important part of her playstyle.While the damage seems low on paper, it makes up for it by hitting multiple times.In total, the burst hits 20 times, with the last hit dealing 50% more damage.This means that even at Talent lv1, her burst does 2302.15% skill damage over 5 seconds, whileit has a 20 second cooldown. This gives you quite abit of time where you will beswapping between characters to build up your next burst rotation. Since her burstdoes the vast majority of her damage, setting it up correctly is very important.

Ayaka also has an additional passive named Kamisato Art: Senho,which is an alternate sprint. It costs 10 Stamina to enter and you turn into acold mist. This allows you to walk on water but more importantly, when you stopsprinting you infuse your weapon with Cryo for 5 seconds. Furthermore, you alsoapply Cryo in a small area around you when you exit your sprint.With the 2nd Ascension passive, Kanten Senmyou Blessing,if you hit an opponent with this Cryo application, you will regain 10 staminaand gain 18% Cryo DMG Bonus for 10 seconds. This is important for her burst andis easy to maintain as you can just tap your sprint for free.

So the general playstyle would be to flip through all your other characters touse their bursts and/or skills, swap to Ayaka, Dash once to get the Cryo DMG Bonusand then use Kamisato Art: Soumetsu. After this, you would use Kamisato Art: Hyouka and do a few attackrotations, mainly being 2 Normal Attack into a Charged Attack or 3 Normal attacksinto a Charge attack (this depends on your team).If you have Mistsplitter Reforged, then what you do on Ayaka changesslightly. You incorporate a single Normal attack before casting your burst, soyou proc all parts of Mistsplitter Reforged's effect.

Ayaka's main team compositions involve a character with high Hydro application,an Anemo character to bunch up your enemies and another Cryo character to provideenergy for Ayaka. She can also be in a team with another two Cryo characters anda single Anemo character, however you wont Freeze your targets necessarily.Below are some of her best team comps and a few examples as how to setup a teamif you are missing characters.

Generally, Freeze is Ayaka's best team composition. Shenhe not onlyprovides Energy for Ayaka, her skill also provides increased damage. Kaedehara Kazuhais not only a great Anemo character to bunch up enemies, he will also give your party highamounts of Elemental DMG bonus. On top of this, he is also able to shread resistances with the Viridescent Venerer set. Sangonomiya Kokomi will be providing withconsistent Hydro Application through her skill while also be able to heal the party in a pinch.

These are some of the examples of characters you can somewhat mix and matchwith Ayaka to try and create a comp if you do not have the three specificcharacters mention in the previous comp. And these are just examples. In generalAyaka just needs someone to funnel Elemental Particlesto her and someone to apply enough Hydro so that the targetstays Frozen. Anemo is great to shred Cryo RES and to bunchtargets up so that they all stay within Ayaka's Burst.

This team should be relatively easy to get your hands on over timeif you have a relatively new account or do not have alot of characters in general.Diona provides alot of Elemental Particles, shields and heals in pinch, whileSucrose pulls every target together and shreds Cryo RES.Xingqiu's Guhua Sword: Raincutter will take care of the Hydro Application, as long as youkeep attacking. When attaking with Ayaka, you would want to do 3 normal attacks intoa charge attack as your attack rotation, as it lines up with Xinqui's burst alot better.

Mono-Cryo exists because alot of newer enemies tend to be immovable or unfreezable.In this case, the Hydro Application doesn't matter and its better to to slot in more damagesupport. There are several variations of these, but most of them include Shenhe.She is not mandatory, but she provides a large amount of damage to Ayaka's burst, especiallyon single target. Kaedehara Kazuha can be swapped out with Jean orSucrose and Diona can be replaced by Rosaria orBennett (Bennett's Fantastic Voyage provides alot of bonus attack). Make sureif you swap some of the characters around to not overlap in support (Both Jeanand Bennett can heal as an example)
