Lightweight enemies can be launched into the air by this Skill which can be a little annoying though the knockback isn’t quite as extreme as that seen with Overloaded and it can make for a breather in an intense fight. Ayaka’s Skill generates 4.5 Cryo particles if it hits at least one enemy, making it a very good source of Energy for her as well as any other Cryo character on her team. The latter action can be used to prefunnel Energy into Ayaka for the next use of her Burst. The animation of this Skill is pretty short by default though you can shorten it even further by Dash Canceling or by casting Ayaka’s Elemental Burst. When Ayaka casts her Elemental Skill, Kamisato Art: Hyouka, she creates a circle of ice around her that’ll deal Cryo DMG to anything within its radius. Should Ayaka lack Stamina, she can always just use the usual Normal Attack combo, which still ranks as her second best attack string.

She does have to be mindful of Stamina when spamming it though this is somewhat compensated by Ayaka’s A4 passive. In spite of those, Ayaka’s Charged Attack still has above-average range and AoE. The hitscan resets for each hit and there is an Internal Cooldown that prevents every hit from attacking additional targets. There are some checks and balances to this mechanic. Each hit also has a small AoE and is therefore capable of hitting other enemies if they are close to the original target. Rather than simply strike at the front, it locks onto an enemy within a radius and attacks them regardless if they are within Ayaka’s Normal Attack range. Unlike other Charged Attacks, Ayaka’s has hitscan. The Charged Attack lacks the knockback effect that most Sword users cause with their Charged Attack, making it easier to spam. This narrowly beats the total multiplier of Keqing’s Lv. 6, it has a multiplier of 80.13% per hit with a total sum of 240.39%. It is currently one of, if not, the best Charged Attack among Sword users. Those looking for an easy icy bridge may still want to bring out Kaeya for the job.įor her basic attacks, Ayaka ideally wants to end her combos with her Charged Attack. The one downside is that Ayaka arcs a bit when she leaps out of her sprint, which sometimes causes her to land in the water instead of her platform. If you can juggle this with Ayaka’s Elemental Skill and be mindful of her Stamina, you can have her travel on water indefinitely. But whereas Mona’s Alternate Sprint has no additional effects in this regard, Ayaka is able to briefly freeze the water below her and form a temporary platform to stand on. Like Mona, the Talent enables Ayaka to briefly travel across water. Dash canceling can drain your Stamina but fortunately, this is sometimes compensated by Ayaka’s A4 passive giving her 10 Stamina if her sprint manages to apply Cryo onto an enemy.Īyaka’s Alternate Sprint also gives her a slight edge when it comes to exploring Genshin’s open world. You’ll also want to get used to dash canceling with Ayaka as consistent dashing refreshes the Cryo Infusion’s duration, practically making it last indefinitely. Both the Cryo Infusion and Cryo DMG Bonus buff that Ayaka can gain are simply too valuable to pass on. Regardless of how you feel about the mechanic, you’ll want to get used to it if you intend on using Ayaka. If Ayaka successfully applies Cryo with her sprint, her A4 passive grants her 10 Stamina and a 10 second 18% Cryo DMG Bonus buff.Īlternate Sprint is far from perfect though its performance has been significantly improved in Version 3.0. Upon exiting her sprint, Ayaka applies Cryo onto nearby opponents and she gains a Cryo Infusion for 5 seconds. In lieu of the standard running animation, Ayaka instead cloaks herself into an icy mist to swiftly travel across the ground. Like Mona, Ayaka possesses an Alternate Sprint.

Primarily, Ayaka serves as an On Field DPS with a penchant for the Frozen Elemental Reaction. She can only be obtained via the “Heron’s Court” Event Banner.
