Best Ayaka build in Genshin Impact
Kamisato Ayaka’s affiliation is with the Kamisato Clan. Ayaka works exceptionally well in comps that have Freeze talents. If you pair her with Xingqiu, you can freeze all of your enemies. The following are the artifacts and weapons that work best on Ayaka’s DPS Build:
Artifacts
Two artifact sets are good on Ayaka. The Blizzard Strayer and Gladiator’s Finale. For Blizzard Strayer equipping two pieces increases Cryo Damage by 15%. If you equip four pieces, your Crit Rate will increase by 20% if an enemy is affected by Cryo on hit. It also increases Crit Rate by 20% if the enemy is already Frozen.
If you equip two pieces of Gladiator’s Finale, then you get an 18% increase in Attack. Equipping four pieces gives a 35% increase in Normal Attack Damage if you use a Sword, Claymore, or Polearm. You can go full set of Blizzard Strayer or go two pieces of Blizzard Strayer and two pieces of Gladiator’s Finale. Going two pieces of Gladiator’s Finale is good because of the massive increase in Attack.
Weapons
The two best options for weapons are Mistsplitter Reforged and Primordial Jade Cutter. Mistsplitter Reforged is the latest sword in the game and the better option for Ayaka. It gives a 12% Elemental damage Bonus for every element. You also receive the Mistsplitter’s Seal that has three stacks and provides an 8/16/28% Elemental damage Bonus for the character’s Elemental Type. You can get one stack of Mistsplitter’s Seal; if Normal Attack deals Elemental damage, then the stacks will last 5s. Casting Elemental Burst will cause the stacks to last 10s. You will get one stack if Energy is less than 100%. Stack disappears when Energy is full.
Primordial Jade Cutter increases Health by 20%. It also provides an Attack Bonus based on 1.2% of the wielder’s Max HP.
