In the vast world of Teyvat, the power of Cryo is like an ever-running air conditioner, keeping adventurers cool and refreshed throughout their lengthy journeys. Ayaka, the user of the Cryo element and long-handle weapon, is like a white-clad chef, armed with her weapon, always ready to serve a dish of icy delight to her team. Her martial arts essence lies not only in the sharpness of ice but also in her unique support abilities, making her like a considerate butler who ensures the entire team can navigate battles with ease.
Ayaka’s martial arts journey is akin to a masterful cooking performance. With her long-handle weapon in hand, she is like an experienced chef who can whip up a grand feast of ice and snow at any moment. What is most commendable is her unique off-field synergy technique, which makes her like a white-clad conductor, orchestrating the rhythm of ice from outside the battlefield. Her Elemental Burst is like a grand banquet of ice, capable of revitalizing the team in an instant. Even more impressively, her passive talent is like an envoy of ice; when there are characters with Hydro or Cryo elements in the team, she can significantly reduce the enemies’ resistance, like a sharp icy blade cutting through their defenses with ease.
In Ayaka’s martial arts training, priorities must be clear. Her Elemental Skill, “Cryogenic Cooking,” is like a exquisite martial arts technique and should be the primary focus of her training. Her Elemental Burst, “Silken Flower Set,” is like a grand ice feast that brings new vitality to the team, making it the secondary focus. As for her Normal Attack, “Kamisato Art: Normal,” it is like a subordinate skill of a support character and can be trained later.
When it comes to weapon selection, Ayaka is like a perfectionist artist. Her weapon choices can be divided into two paths: one focuses on weapons that prioritize critical hits, like a sharp icy blade designed to maximize her output; the other focuses on weapons that prioritize energy recharge efficiency, like a divine weapon that can summon the power of ice at any time, allowing her to use her Elemental Burst more efficiently.
Among many weapons, there are a few that can be considered Ayaka’s go-to options. First, the “Primordial Jade Cutter,” a 5-star weapon, is like a divine sword that releases fragrance, with a base attack of 608 and a sub-stat of 66.2% critical damage. Its weapon effect is like a captivating melody: it increases attack by 12%; when the equipped character is in the party’s backline, their attack is further increased by 12%. After healing, both the healer and the healed character gain the “Ganmei Shouhai” effect, increasing their attack by 32% for 3 seconds. This effect can still be triggered even when the equipped character is in the backline.
Additionally, there are a few other notable weapons. The “Staff of Homa,” another 5-star weapon, also has a base attack of 608 and a sub-stat of 66.2% critical damage. Its weapon effect increases HP by 20%. Additionally, based on 0.8% of the equipped character’s max HP, it provides an attack bonus. When the equipped character’s HP falls below 50%, they gain an additional 1% attack bonus based on their max HP. The “Skyward Spine,” a 5-star weapon, has a base attack of 674 and a sub-stat of 66.2% critical damage. Its weapon effect increases the equipped character’s attack by 8% when they are in the party’s backline. This effect can stack up to 3 times, with each stack increasing attack by an additional 8%. When the equipped character is switched out, they leave behind a Phantasmal Core that deals AoE Cryo damage to enemies within its area every 1.5 seconds for 10 seconds. Enemies affected by this damage have their Cryo resistance reduced by 10%.
