Can you do video abaout traveler? I want to find a way i can use him/her. I know its not a best character in the game but man ...in the story he good... i dont know why he can be just good like some 4stars ... :/
Fun Fact: Ayaka is the only character where players had to wait for guides to come out on RUclips because Inazuma released the same time as ayaka, making it impossible to lvl90 her early. The only reason I knew this was because I was looking for guides on RUclips
You could actually level her up to 90 early by saving Fragiles and stealing other players' sakura blooms, I got mine to lv 90 at around day 3 thanks to it
@@Roanak572 You. Yeah, we need more of you. I respect people who ask and kick people who don't. If I see you all the way in another region after coming to my world for 10 seconds, I am probably kicking you unless you say hello and tell me what ya need. Like yeah I will usually say yes, but when you don't ask, I don't get this good feeling and I don't want to have someone who steals in my world
Tried her on my aunt's account with Ayato/Kokomi, Ganyu and Kazuha as her teammates and it further proved that I'm pulling for her since she's one of my favorite characters by far
Ayaka is one of my favorite and strongest characters I have and I enjoy her very much. I would pull for constellations for her since I have her at C0, but now I have the chance to get her weapon and make her even more stronger. IMO she’s worth having and those who have the second chance to get her I wish the best of luck to all of u. Wish me luck to get her weapon lol
@@Zaki_Zain with her I have: Shenhe, Ganyu, Kazuha, Kokomi, Raiden, Xingqui, Rosaria Zhongli, and/or XingLing. I usually switch in between those characters for the reactions and to get the CRIT boost with two Cryo characters and if I want a shield from Zhongli. But personally I usually have Ayaka, Shenhe/Ganyu/Rosaria for the Cryo boost and support, Kokomi for freeze/healing, and Kazuha for the extra support DMG. Honestly she’s good with using freeze teams so using Cryo supports/Sub DPS along with Hydro and Anemo supports will do the trick. So using four star characters like: Diona, Rosaria, Chongyu, Barbara, Xingqui, and Sucrose will be good for her. She can even be a good physical DPS too
I've had Ganyu since release and I've had Ayaka since release. I love both of them but Ayaka, Xinqiu, Venti and Diona has been my Go To team an Abyss for a solid half a year On top of that, Ayaka was probably the 2nd fastest character on my acct to hit 10 Friendship I love Ayaka's gameplay so much
I would argue that Amenoma looks probably the most aesthetically pleasing on Ayaka, especially compared to Blackcliff longsword. The Mistsplitter does look nice but the purple contrasts to Ayaka’s attire IMO.
I gotten Ayaka from her first banner, when I started the game I saw that she will be a playable character. I love her burst is very powerful, she is one of my main. I used her in many teams. I been thinking of getting Constellation for her. I have her at C-0, with your video, it help me to decided not to get them. I feel now that Kazuha would be better choice to get his constellation.
I started using melt ayaka as a meme team (ayaka, shenhe, benny, xiangling) in the emblem domain as it buffs both cryo and pyro. It ended up being super fun, and seeing the huge numbers pop up led to me running it in a abyss a few times. Definitely not optimal, but as a person without a good hydro applicator (no mona, kokomi, dont use xinqui) for now it's genuinely become my team for her, and for those who want to mix it up and dont take stuff too seriously I'd say try it :D
Meltyaka feat. Zhongli was unironically the only possible way for me to 8k the PMA in the Energy Amplifier event. Just brute force alternating melts between Xiangling and Ayaka.
Melt Ayaka is not bad but if you care about not being able to use the permafrost one you can still use it with Barbara. Worse than Kokomi but can still apply some hydro and she heals and can buff with ttsd. I don’t have any 5* hydro character and use Xinqiu on other team so I have planned to use Barbara until I get Kokomi if I ever gets her.
@@RGBarrios I've thought about it a few times, but I just don't think it's worth building for now. I'd probably end up never using her again once i get an alternative. Looks like fun though for those who do. I've just gotta wait to lose the 50/50, get lucky and fingers crossed get mona for morgana- or more likely get yelan when she comes around.
Before I got jade cutter i used to run 4 pc blizzard strayer with amenoma, but since I got it i run 2 pc blizzard 2 pc gladiator since in a freeze team with the double cryo buff i get to 90% crit rate. The damage increase really makes the difference and allows me to swap artifacts easily whenever i get a better one off set.
Same here, PJC + 2pc/2pc gang. You gotta realize people making character guides are streamers, and they tend to do paid resin refreshes so their artifact inventory is looking a lot better than the average player. For us it's a lot harder to find 4 great pieces in the same set.

78/90 pity, guaranteed event 5* as well. Safe to say I'm getting Ayaka the moment her banner drops. She's even pre-farmed too. I even have a bit of Weapon Banner pity as well, so I do wanna try going for Mistsplitter too.

Thank you very much for this guide! it was very useful to me. I had Ayaka for a while now but stopped playing for a while too and now that I am back this guide really makes it so easy for me to build her. Again thank you for your hard work!
Her burst CAN get damage increases after it's cast if you swirl the Cryo that it applies with VV, ala Sucros's Burst etc, it usually gives you like 3-5k more damage per hit too, which really adds up in the long run.
AAAH the ACNH music in the background made it hard to focus on what you were saying Braxy lol! It brought back intense nostalgia of my ACNH days and made me wanna play again. Low-key I wouldn't mind watching you play ACNH or if you made videos on it. On another note, AAAH AYAKA! I had taken a GI break on her banner release and I regret immensely that I didn't pull for her. Definitely gonna get her this time around.
I have Ayaka from her first banner. And she is the only character (up until now) that made me use my creditcard-jutsu. If you are here to see if Ayaka good or not. I can say that she is good. I only equip her with Anemona Kageuchi, for lore wise and because that time the weapon banner don't have a fate system yet. And with only that katana, she help me a lot on the abyss and many hard content. Though I don't use her much since my main character is Zhongli, and she doesn't synergies well with Zhongli play style. But i can assure you that she is worth it.
Note, Ayaka's burst doesn't snapshot until the burst is cast. For example, you can get the Elegy buff halfway through the cast animation and it will still count.
If you are not using Ayaya CA, you are losing a huge portion of her damage especially for Ayaya freeze hyper carry comp. With buffs Ayaya CA can deal up to 10k+. Her most optimal combo would be like: Sprint > Q > E > CA or Sprint > E > Q > CA to freeze mobs first to make sure ult hits.
Ayaka is my 2nd Main DPS after Raiden in a superconduct build backed by Zhongli and either Barbara or Bennet depending on what I am fighting. I have a Black Blade on Ayaka (The one you get from the Battlepass) for healing on crits, as I am honestly not great at dodging and most bosses shred my team's HP like tissue paper. Going to look into farming more Blizzard Strayer pieces and maybe give her the Skyward sword I have had on Benny.
she absolutely slaps in spiral abyss 🤣 i initially didn't want her but after playing her trial a couple of times and waiting until the last minute, i decided to get her and the mistsplitter. best decision ever. thanks for this updated guide!!
great video as always!! all that's left to do for me is hope i win my 50/50 then i'lll have my ayaya (please don't ruin it again, keqing) and the outro never gets old
since the others are saying things about getting ayaka, i'll say some too i got ayaka 76 pity, guaranteed. i was so happy when the comet(?) turned gold, knowing its ayaka.
I'm on 70 Pity and 10 wishes to go for her and is guaranteed, I can't wait, it's my first character I'll prefarmed everything. Also I got mona on perma banner, so, Morgana comps will be really interesting
Same here. 50 pity guaranteed and prefarmed artifacts included. I just have to save and wait for another Kokomi rerun but that will take a long time since I had to skip her last banner for Ayaka but at least I have copium Barbara.
I was one of those time whales who skipped so many banners for Ayaka. She was worth it! Her abilities are simple to understand and with 4 pc Blizzard less difficult to build. I also use her with Shenhe, Venti, and Kokomi and it’s like a blizzard comp 😂 I’ll wait for Kazuha and Yelan next.
That's my current hope and dream for Ayaka haha. I've been saving for months for her and she will join my team! What are you thoughts about Shenhe tho? I'm debating whether I should set my sights on her inevitable rerun in the future.
@@Shenshenlihan Okay cool! I've seen similar comments elsewhere, but wanted non whale based advice lol. I feel like she'd be fun for the simple fact that she can buff the dps for all cryo characters. I love Kaeya, Rosaria, and Chongyun and would love messing around with her buffing the crap out of them haha
@@SeaWiseBrain Oh my gosh, that is some high praise indeed haha. That's amazing tho and exactly the kinda praise I need to be excited to pull for her now 😁 I've heard they're a decent pair together, but didn't realize to what degree. Time to start saving again (after getting Ayaka and Kazuha at least lol)
Have her since her first release day and still use her a lot (More than Ganyu actually) I really would like to get more of her constellations but getting Kazuha (And perheaps Yelan) in the next patch seems more valuable than hunting for C4 Ayaka.
8:45 For this, energy recharge becomes a lot less important if you have something like a battery Diona on the team. My Ayaka has around 110% energy recharge and I still get her burst before cooldown finishes, when I use my battery build Diona to boost cryo particles for Ayaka.
Yeah it also kinda depends on the content, in current abyss you can run less ER because there's an abundance of enemies. The ER suggestions are more for success even in single or dual target scenarios where you're not getting a lot of particles from enemies. But also ofc if you have a lot of cryo particles being funneled you can use less; the KQM calcs account for Diona for that iirc. Unlimited uptime feelsgoodman
i use r5 harbinger for the crit rate passive and crit damage and i honestly love it. with the blizzard set her crit rate / crit damage is 90:250 and PHEWWWWW shes insane
Hey great guide, I was interested about the constellations I was thinking to get her to C1 and if lucky with 50/50 c2, but looks like its not worth and your info helped so thanks! I'll save for Yelan and Tao cons!
Brevity around constellations three and five is always appreciated, but I’m surprised few content creators ever frame their comments around whether or not constipation three (best autocorrect fail ever!) buffs the better of the two. Like if her constellation three buffed her skill… that would be kinda trash. Hope I’ve helped a bit. 😅 You make the best Genshin vids, period. Keep it up! 🎉💯k🎉
I 36' starred the abyss after getting Ayaka and I am a Day 1 player, she is probably my strongest character and I highly recommend anyone to get her if you still lack a cryo dps.
Love your videos! Just wanted to say for character guides I would love to have a section in which you go over what the final stats would look like for medium luck etc. so I would know what to aim for. (e.g. Ayaka 2.5k Atk 30 critrate 250 critdmg and 130 er)
I also recommend using her e before her ult for energy since she has high energy cost after animation energy would be already consumed or whatever, then you can just swap into another character
I just gotta start with the 2 & 2 pieces cause I don't have the 4 pieces plus is pain grinding. I forgot it took me around a month and a half to get good artifacts for my Raiden. Good luck in your pulls everyone!
Oh man, I've had her since Day 1, my very first Character Banner 5-star. I just wanted a cool-looking ice lady, and I got that AND all the damage I could ever want.
Ayaka is one of my favorite characters. I run her with an R4 Amenoma Kageuchi and have very little downtime on her burst. I got super lucky and pulled 2 Ayakas and a Yanfei on a single 10 pull on the first day of her release. I'm hoping to get lucky again and snipe her C2 off of the 50/50. My only issue is that because of her unique movement style, she is one of 2 characters that prevents you from switching characters while dashing/sprinting.
I just wished twice for fun was like why not... first wish I pulled a Cold Steel sword, decided why not one more wish, bam pulled my first 5 star character Ayaka, was shocked and hyped at the same time, 2 wishes. Super lucky
it’s best u focus on Atk for ayaka crit rate won’t be that important if u have blizzard strayer circlet or u can use amenoma kaeguchi for the atk if ur gonna focus or prioritize crit dmg ex: amenoma (atk) circlet (cdmg) goblet (cryo dmg) sands (atk)
I use Ayaka Mona Sucrose Diona in the abyss. My Ayaka can do 36k ticks on her ult if I do my rotation correctly. Waiting for Kazuha so I can replace Sucrose on that team and hopefully my damage with skyrocket. I absolutely love her playstyle, her look and she is stupid strong. Definitely would recommend people pulling on her banner cause she is amazing.
didn't really want her all that much as I've already got Ganyu and Eula and a c2 Qiqi of which I pulled only 20 pulls behind my Ayaka funny enough and I'm glad she snuck in before the banner was up because she is really fun to play and her cute little smile and elegant demeanor make my day ngl and between her and Kokomi (got her off her last banner) the cuteness factor of my save is through the roof lol. Now all I've gotta do is wait for a Klee rerun or possibly the dendro archon to max out the cuteness! (Kuki's got her charms too though)
Watching this since my friend managed to pull on my account, my second 5 star within 60 wishes and 5 prior pity on the ayaka banner, mona. Then within the same 60 wishes 2 ten pulls later he managed to pull me ayaka, on the last ten pull i had. He has cracked rng
It's funny really. As strong as ayaka is, a lot of people overlook how strong Kaeya is when compared to her as well. Kaeya may be a free to play character, but after they introduced the blizzard set for ice units, his viability and power went way up. With a low spam skill and constant ults as well as super simple playstyle... and his OWN build in healing and survivability should you get some copies of him for constellations is crazy. People be sleeping on him anyway!
It's because mHY makes it hard for ZERO reason to us to get constellations for Kaeya, Amber, and Lisa. Trust me, I would LOVE to use Kaeya but getting cons is simply unreliable
@@kuvjason7236 I've gotten lucky and picked up the ones in the shop so far that have shown up mostly. Got C2 kaeya and c4 lisa surprisingly. Even c2 Amber.
@@hazard1one Her dash is very useful when you're on cooldown with both burst and skill. I understand its not for everyone...however I got used to it and liked it.
Honestly i hate using xingqiu with ayaka, the hydro application doesnt feel like it's enough with him and enemies generally dont feel like they're frozen as often or for as long. I think it's too weak to even be worth doing when xingqiu would be better off in a vaporize team where his max potential is used.
True, if you're trying to fit Xingqui with Ayaka then get bonked. There are better characters for hydro application for Ayaka, it's either Kokomi or Mona. But since those are five stars, people would likely go with Xinqui as a placeholder. If that's the case they also should include Jean for spreading hydro and cryo to large group of enemies using her ult, it would surely help them freeze enemies much longer.
I'm a new player. My first 5 star was Ayato then I saved for Ayaka and got Mona. I saved again and about 50 pulls later I had Ayaka. Didn't give up because I wanted Ayaka and Ayato to be together xD
I wanna say something. The “f2p” team isn’t as f2p cause you still need to wish for the characters. So I have a team that for me works very well, Ayaka, anemo traveler, Barbara, diona (or any cryo unit) Barbara does do 4 hydro applications when healed and if you’re near an enemy which you might be doing with ayaka lol Traveler is just being anemo shred unit Cryo unit is giving resonance and or support
Was going to get an Ayaka on my alt account and skip on the main since I've already got Ganyu, but now Rosaria is on her banner, which is the first time I've seen Rosaria on a banner that I'm actually willing to roll. It's looking like I'm going to end up pulling Ayaka on both accounts now since her banner is pretty stacked for my main account. I have no Rosaria and my Sayu and Razor are only C1 so both 4* and 5* characters are something I could use. Also still have no Jean on my main so Sayu cons are a definite plus. Only thing that would convince me to skip this banner on my main is if they extend the 2.6 banner and add Kazuha with the same 4*. I seriously doubt that will actually happen but with the situation in Shanghai being what it is and the 2.7 banners being sort of up in the air atm it might be a potential option, especially given Kazuha's significance in the current event.
I play both Ayaka freeze n melt. Akaya zongli xiangling n Benett combo is one of the strongest n fun. Most melt is done by xiangling but it's worth it. Throw emblem set on xiangling. I tried this team with Ayaka replace with ganyu, but Ayaka is just better. The most difficult content in genshin is floor 12, n I have been clearing it with 36* for many months.. I start using this team when they start putting magu Kenji in floor 12, n it's perfect. I love Ayaka freeze better though.
i did some calc with the artifacts im using for her and the Kazuha Sword overtake Blackcliff. Blackcliff only overtake it when Attack Buffs are present but not by alot.
I main Ayaka for quite some time now and i still run her 2-piece Blizzard and 2-piece Glad. because i have so much better substats on them then on a 4-piece Blizzard. And i just don't like Blizzard to begin with because it is very situational and restricts you heavily what teams you can play compared two the other sets. If just one element interfers you lose a ton of crit rate. If you can get a good crit rate/ crit damage ratio with the two piece option blizzard set gets trivialized anyway. As a example with my two piece set i have 80% crit rate 225% crit damage 2100 Atk. ca 130-135 energy recharge on her wich is good enough. A mainly play Ayaka as a on field main Dps because i like her gameplay and aesthetics.
Thanks to rerun banner i got her to c2, skipped ayato because i use hydro more as support. Have her with that Amenoma Kageuchi sword R1 and blizzard strayer mix of 4/5 star artifacts. I also have C0 ganyu and C0 eula, making her one of my top 3 dpses who all happen to be cryo (Yanfei c6 is a decent pyro 4th main dps but clearly the junior partner in that main dps club). I run C0 Zhongli and C2 raiden, then 3rd party member is one of my main dps, then supported by either bennett (c5) or Xingqiu (c6) (occasionally mona (c3) or barbara (c3)). Got c6 xiangling at 70, venti c1 72, kazuka 70 c0 (still gearing), jeanne 60 c0 (still gearing). Also leveliing/gearing c6 diona to try and open up more arrangements. I find that ganyu and Ayaka work better with xingqiu while Bennett works a bit better with eula.
I've had C4 Ayaka since she came out. Didn't even know if she would be good, just did it for waifu reasons. My only regret is that I've had to wait this long for a re-run to get C6, haha.

Her burst CAN get damage increases after it's cast if you swirl the Cryo that it applies with VV, ala Sucros's Burst etc, it usually gives you like 3-5k more damage per hit too, which really adds up in the long run.
I'm lowkey suprised why you haven't reached 100k yet! You have a new sub here, best of luck!
AAAH the ACNH music in the background made it hard to focus on what you were saying Braxy lol! It brought back intense nostalgia of my ACNH days and made me wanna play again. Low-key I wouldn't mind watching you play ACNH or if you made videos on it.
On another note, AAAH AYAKA! I had taken a GI break on her banner release and I regret immensely that I didn't pull for her. Definitely gonna get her this time around.
I have Ayaka from her first banner. And she is the only character (up until now) that made me use my creditcard-jutsu.
If you are here to see if Ayaka good or not. I can say that she is good. I only equip her with Anemona Kageuchi, for lore wise and because that time the weapon banner don't have a fate system yet. And with only that katana, she help me a lot on the abyss and many hard content. Though I don't use her much since my main character is Zhongli, and she doesn't synergies well with Zhongli play style. But i can assure you that she is worth it.
Note, Ayaka's burst doesn't snapshot until the burst is cast. For example, you can get the Elegy buff halfway through the cast animation and it will still count.
Since i’m planning to main the siblings, this is really helpful. Thank you!
If you are not using Ayaya CA, you are losing a huge portion of her damage especially for Ayaya freeze hyper carry comp. With buffs Ayaya CA can deal up to 10k+. Her most optimal combo would be like: Sprint > Q > E > CA or Sprint > E > Q > CA to freeze mobs first to make sure ult hits.
Ayaka is my 2nd Main DPS after Raiden in a superconduct build backed by Zhongli and either Barbara or Bennet depending on what I am fighting. I have a Black Blade on Ayaka (The one you get from the Battlepass) for healing on crits, as I am honestly not great at dodging and most bosses shred my team's HP like tissue paper. Going to look into farming more Blizzard Strayer pieces and maybe give her the Skyward sword I have had on Benny.
I've lost to her once on 50/50.But now im guaranteed. Goodluck for anyone pulling for her.
I hope you get 2 Ayakas on a 10 pull
she absolutely slaps in spiral abyss 🤣 i initially didn't want her but after playing her trial a couple of times and waiting until the last minute, i decided to get her and the mistsplitter. best decision ever. thanks for this updated guide!!
great video as always!! all that's left to do for me is hope i win my 50/50 then i'lll have my ayaya (please don't ruin it again, keqing)
and the outro never gets old
“AC:NH - 2pm Theme” reminding me of how much of a chore it is to level up these characters.
since the others are saying things about getting ayaka, i'll say some too
i got ayaka 76 pity, guaranteed. i was so happy when the comet(?) turned gold, knowing its ayaka.
New people who doesnt have a 5 star but just got ayaka: *searches every ayaka best set guides and videos ever*
And that new people is *me*
Great quality video as always!
Still the best and most underrated Genshin creator, congrats on 75k
True
When you said "75,000 subscribers", I was like "Wait really?". I thought you were at half a million 😂
You definitely deserve more than 75k subs
I'm on 70 Pity and 10 wishes to go for her and is guaranteed, I can't wait, it's my first character I'll prefarmed everything. Also I got mona on perma banner, so, Morgana comps will be really interesting
we're the same, 70 pity and 10 wishes! thing is, i'm not guaranteed. 😸 good luck to everyone!
Same here. 50 pity guaranteed and prefarmed artifacts included. I just have to save and wait for another Kokomi rerun but that will take a long time since I had to skip her last banner for Ayaka but at least I have copium Barbara.
Isn’t Morgana Mona, Ganyu and Diona?
@@justapotato584 it's the variant with Ayaka, I know works better on Ganyu, but I like more Ayaka
I got her after my next 10 pulls since I got Mona before her
Haven't watched the vid yet but I know it's gonna be great
The best gensin youtuber....your in depth builds are really helpful
I was one of those time whales who skipped so many banners for Ayaka. She was worth it! Her abilities are simple to understand and with 4 pc Blizzard less difficult to build. I also use her with Shenhe, Venti, and Kokomi and it’s like a blizzard comp 😂 I’ll wait for Kazuha and Yelan next.
That's my current hope and dream for Ayaka haha. I've been saving for months for her and she will join my team! What are you thoughts about Shenhe tho? I'm debating whether I should set my sights on her inevitable rerun in the future.
@@acardoza1234 Shenhe is literally tailor-made for Ayaka. The two of them work so well together. I'd recommend.
@@Shenshenlihan Okay cool! I've seen similar comments elsewhere, but wanted non whale based advice lol. I feel like she'd be fun for the simple fact that she can buff the dps for all cryo characters. I love Kaeya, Rosaria, and Chongyun and would love messing around with her buffing the crap out of them haha
@@acardoza1234 I agree with Yen. Definitely get Shenhe. She makes a C0 Ayaka look like a C6
@@SeaWiseBrain Oh my gosh, that is some high praise indeed haha. That's amazing tho and exactly the kinda praise I need to be excited to pull for her now 😁 I've heard they're a decent pair together, but didn't realize to what degree. Time to start saving again (after getting Ayaka and Kazuha at least lol)
Have her since her first release day and still use her a lot (More than Ganyu actually) I really would like to get more of her constellations but getting Kazuha (And perheaps Yelan) in the next patch seems more valuable than hunting for C4 Ayaka.
8:45 For this, energy recharge becomes a lot less important if you have something like a battery Diona on the team. My Ayaka has around 110% energy recharge and I still get her burst before cooldown finishes, when I use my battery build Diona to boost cryo particles for Ayaka.
Yeah it also kinda depends on the content, in current abyss you can run less ER because there's an abundance of enemies. The ER suggestions are more for success even in single or dual target scenarios where you're not getting a lot of particles from enemies. But also ofc if you have a lot of cryo particles being funneled you can use less; the KQM calcs account for Diona for that iirc. Unlimited uptime feelsgoodman
i use r5 harbinger for the crit rate passive and crit damage and i honestly love it. with the blizzard set her crit rate / crit damage is 90:250 and PHEWWWWW shes insane
Hey great guide, I was interested about the constellations I was thinking to get her to C1 and if lucky with 50/50 c2, but looks like its not worth and your info helped so thanks!
I'll save for Yelan and Tao cons!
Brevity around constellations three and five is always appreciated, but I’m surprised few content creators ever frame their comments around whether or not constipation three (best autocorrect fail ever!) buffs the better of the two. Like if her constellation three buffed her skill… that would be kinda trash.
Hope I’ve helped a bit. 😅 You make the best Genshin vids, period. Keep it up! 🎉💯k🎉
thank you brax this helps a lot
Dooode this video was sooo helpful thank you so much…
AYAYA
I 36' starred the abyss after getting Ayaka and I am a Day 1 player, she is probably my strongest character and I highly recommend anyone to get her if you still lack a cryo dps.
Ayy thx for the Chongyun vid rly appreciate it
HUH
Love your videos! Just wanted to say for character guides I would love to have a section in which you go over what the final stats would look like for medium luck etc. so I would know what to aim for. (e.g. Ayaka 2.5k Atk 30 critrate 250 critdmg and 130 er)
Good idea
are those sample stats supposed to be "medium" luck?
@@sissyjoeold7657 ofc not. it's pretty hard getting those stats without getting nearly god roll artifacts
Nice idea
Pretty excited for her banner
My current Ayaka-led team consists of Mona, Diona, and Succrose (i don't have Venti). They literally shred groups of enemies in seconds.
I also recommend using her e before her ult for energy since she has high energy cost after animation energy would be already consumed or whatever, then you can just swap into another character
Me watching vids on if ayaka is a good option knowing damn well that I'm going to wish for her anyway
I just want to sincerely thank you for talking so fast
🌸😹It may be a guide most swift but certainly one well researched and executed😹🌸
I just gotta start with the 2 & 2 pieces cause I don't have the 4 pieces plus is pain grinding. I forgot it took me around a month and a half to get good artifacts for my Raiden. Good luck in your pulls everyone!
W for Animal Crossing music, good luck to everyone pulling for 5head Queen tmrw 🙏🏽
Oh man, I've had her since Day 1, my very first Character Banner 5-star. I just wanted a cool-looking ice lady, and I got that AND all the damage I could ever want.
I just glad that the hype for her since 1.0 was worth it.
i have a c6 ayaka
VERY THOROUGH, THANK YOU!
The banner is so bad this time I dont wanna risk getting the claymore loosing 50/50 :(
Amenoma it is :)
Ayaka is one of my favorite characters. I run her with an R4 Amenoma Kageuchi and have very little downtime on her burst. I got super lucky and pulled 2 Ayakas and a Yanfei on a single 10 pull on the first day of her release. I'm hoping to get lucky again and snipe her C2 off of the 50/50. My only issue is that because of her unique movement style, she is one of 2 characters that prevents you from switching characters while dashing/sprinting.
I have my wishes ready and desperately hoping I win the 50/50. I love Ayaka, hopefully I'm back to this video in a couple of days once she comes home.
same !!
Best of luck to y'all. I can say that she is one of the most fun characters to me, you'll have a lot of fun with her.
I won the 50/50 😭😭😭
Building my Ayaka now :D
@@lily-_- That's nice to hear, enjoy your Ayaya. :)
Congrats on 75k!!
I just wished twice for fun was like why not... first wish I pulled a Cold Steel sword, decided why not one more wish, bam pulled my first 5 star character Ayaka, was shocked and hyped at the same time, 2 wishes. Super lucky
it’s best u focus on Atk for ayaka crit rate won’t be that important if u have blizzard strayer circlet or u can use amenoma kaeguchi for the atk if ur gonna focus or prioritize crit dmg ex:
amenoma (atk)
circlet (cdmg)
goblet (cryo dmg)
sands (atk)
I use Ayaka Mona Sucrose Diona in the abyss. My Ayaka can do 36k ticks on her ult if I do my rotation correctly. Waiting for Kazuha so I can replace Sucrose on that team and hopefully my damage with skyrocket. I absolutely love her playstyle, her look and she is stupid strong. Definitely would recommend people pulling on her banner cause she is amazing.
i got ayaka as my first 5 star ever today
Omg same
ty i actually really needed this!!
didn't really want her all that much as I've already got Ganyu and Eula and a c2 Qiqi of which I pulled only 20 pulls behind my Ayaka funny enough and I'm glad she snuck in before the banner was up because she is really fun to play and her cute little smile and elegant demeanor make my day ngl and between her and Kokomi (got her off her last banner) the cuteness factor of my save is through the roof lol. Now all I've gotta do is wait for a Klee rerun or possibly the dendro archon to max out the cuteness! (Kuki's got her charms too though)
I got Ayaka during her story quest while making the pizza, I lost my 50/50 ang single pulled till 14 and she came home, she's really strong too
Watching this since my friend managed to pull on my account, my second 5 star within 60 wishes and 5 prior pity on the ayaka banner, mona. Then within the same 60 wishes 2 ten pulls later he managed to pull me ayaka, on the last ten pull i had.
He has cracked rng
Hoyoverse had brought me to this video for a reason...
And that reason was giving me her c1 after pulling 8 times the day after getting her
Just got her thanks for the info
I know blizzard is the go to option but i can't deny how much joy I'm getting out of my 4pc shim C6 Ayaka.. She goes wild on those charge attacks
Thanks for the very useful video and 4 star team combination for is perfect and i have these😅 4 stars. Thanks a lot.
I use Ayaka with rosa for 60k Pyroando melt. Only against high bosses in the abyss. For Normal enemies I use freeze.
It's funny really. As strong as ayaka is, a lot of people overlook how strong Kaeya is when compared to her as well.
Kaeya may be a free to play character, but after they introduced the blizzard set for ice units, his viability and power went way up. With a low spam skill and constant ults as well as super simple playstyle... and his OWN build in healing and survivability should you get some copies of him for constellations is crazy.
People be sleeping on him anyway!
It's because mHY makes it hard for ZERO reason to us to get constellations for Kaeya, Amber, and Lisa.
Trust me, I would LOVE to use Kaeya but getting cons is simply unreliable
@@kuvjason7236 I've gotten lucky and picked up the ones in the shop so far that have shown up mostly. Got C2 kaeya and c4 lisa surprisingly. Even c2 Amber.
Every day I get even happier that I pulled for ayaka
Ayaka is the whole package of Waifuu meets Meta, I triple crowned my Ayaka no regrets...more fun to play with than Ganyu imo.
... why the ganyu mention tho 🤨
i have both ,i enjoy using Ganyu more than Ayaka since ganyu quickswap comp feels much better .Ayaka dash kinda ruined it for me.
@@hazard1one Her dash is very useful when you're on cooldown with both burst and skill. I understand its not for everyone...however I got used to it and liked it.
@@monokhromes For Ganyu wanters that need a cryo carry and saving primos next year for her re-run.
a very powerful character cryo queen.. my favorite
I was playing jet pack joyride, when I got unusually lucky on the spins. So I decided to do a 10 pull on ayaka's banner, and got her XD.
Honestly i hate using xingqiu with ayaka, the hydro application doesnt feel like it's enough with him and enemies generally dont feel like they're frozen as often or for as long. I think it's too weak to even be worth doing when xingqiu would be better off in a vaporize team where his max potential is used.
True, if you're trying to fit Xingqui with Ayaka then get bonked. There are better characters for hydro application for Ayaka, it's either Kokomi or Mona. But since those are five stars, people would likely go with Xinqui as a placeholder. If that's the case they also should include Jean for spreading hydro and cryo to large group of enemies using her ult, it would surely help them freeze enemies much longer.
@@daleryanaldover6545 barbara E and its self hydro together with jean self anemo for self hydro swirl might work for AOE hydro application
Weird I never have this problem 😅
Keep in mind that hydro application is not the only thing xingqiu can do in an ayaka team but he can also do some serious damage himself.
I'm a new player. My first 5 star was Ayato then I saved for Ayaka and got Mona. I saved again and about 50 pulls later I had Ayaka. Didn't give up because I wanted Ayaka and Ayato to be together xD
I wanna say something. The “f2p” team isn’t as f2p cause you still need to wish for the characters. So I have a team that for me works very well,
Ayaka, anemo traveler, Barbara, diona (or any cryo unit)
Barbara does do 4 hydro applications when healed and if you’re near an enemy which you might be doing with ayaka lol
Traveler is just being anemo shred unit
Cryo unit is giving resonance and or support
Just got Ayaka at 43 pity after not playing for like a month or 2, I’m feeling real good ✨
Hope that Ayaka + Rosaria + Venti + Barbara works fine because XQ is only for hu tao at the moment
Running atck circlet with blackcliff is kinda hidden gem if you have a good 25-30 cv atck circlet , worth trying out
Still farming for a good atk circlet 🙏
I got a 33% CD atk circlet on blizzard strayer agesss ago and now I can finally put it to use!
she was my first limited 5 star and will always be my no. 1 main :) its just annoying when she cant sprint when there's a cryo slime
Was going to get an Ayaka on my alt account and skip on the main since I've already got Ganyu, but now Rosaria is on her banner, which is the first time I've seen Rosaria on a banner that I'm actually willing to roll. It's looking like I'm going to end up pulling Ayaka on both accounts now since her banner is pretty stacked for my main account. I have no Rosaria and my Sayu and Razor are only C1 so both 4* and 5* characters are something I could use. Also still have no Jean on my main so Sayu cons are a definite plus.
Only thing that would convince me to skip this banner on my main is if they extend the 2.6 banner and add Kazuha with the same 4*. I seriously doubt that will actually happen but with the situation in Shanghai being what it is and the 2.7 banners being sort of up in the air atm it might be a potential option, especially given Kazuha's significance in the current event.
I will try for mistsplitter, for the claymore.. well maybe I'll give to sayu cuz i love her and she heal based on atk.
I got ayaka 40/180 , the unforge, Jean sword, mistsplitter. And now im no longer gorouless. ☺️
Uh not completely sure on how melt works, I know the basics, but tbh it works quite well for me , I use ayaka, ayato, bennet, and xiangling
2:40 it also gets affected by non snapshotable buffs, like raidens e. (I mean if raidens e is casted after ayaya burst, it still gets buffed)
I play both Ayaka freeze n melt. Akaya zongli xiangling n Benett combo is one of the strongest n fun. Most melt is done by xiangling but it's worth it. Throw emblem set on xiangling. I tried this team with Ayaka replace with ganyu, but Ayaka is just better. The most difficult content in genshin is floor 12, n I have been clearing it with 36* for many months.. I start using this team when they start putting magu Kenji in floor 12, n it's perfect. I love Ayaka freeze better though.
The Kagotsurube Isshin is also pretty decent on her
i did some calc with the artifacts im using for her and the Kazuha Sword overtake Blackcliff.
Blackcliff only overtake it when Attack Buffs are present but not by alot.
I main Ayaka for quite some time now and i still run her 2-piece Blizzard and 2-piece Glad. because i have so much better substats on them then on a 4-piece Blizzard. And i just don't like Blizzard to begin with because it is very situational and restricts you heavily what teams you can play compared two the other sets. If just one element interfers you lose a ton of crit rate. If you can get a good crit rate/ crit damage ratio with the two piece option blizzard set gets trivialized anyway. As a example with my two piece set i have 80% crit rate 225% crit damage 2100 Atk. ca 130-135 energy recharge on her wich is good enough. A mainly play Ayaka as a on field main Dps because i like her gameplay and aesthetics.
0:04 never disliked a video that fast before lmao
I'm happy :D my girlfriend got Ayato and I got Ayaka (and Rosaria in one ten pull!) And we get to duo together and do an awesome burst combo
for ayaya, i use Xingqiu, Sucrose and Diona for shield and heal, but i want to use mona instead of xingqiu in the future.
Thanks to rerun banner i got her to c2, skipped ayato because i use hydro more as support. Have her with that Amenoma Kageuchi sword R1 and blizzard strayer mix of 4/5 star artifacts. I also have C0 ganyu and C0 eula, making her one of my top 3 dpses who all happen to be cryo (Yanfei c6 is a decent pyro 4th main dps but clearly the junior partner in that main dps club). I run C0 Zhongli and C2 raiden, then 3rd party member is one of my main dps, then supported by either bennett (c5) or Xingqiu (c6) (occasionally mona (c3) or barbara (c3)). Got c6 xiangling at 70, venti c1 72, kazuka 70 c0 (still gearing), jeanne 60 c0 (still gearing). Also leveliing/gearing c6 diona to try and open up more arrangements.
I find that ganyu and Ayaka work better with xingqiu while Bennett works a bit better with eula.
Just pulled her from the prolonged 2.6 banner, with the 400 primogems that they gave us today as a compensation. Best banner ever 😂
I've had C4 Ayaka since she came out.
Didn't even know if she would be good, just did it for waifu reasons.
My only regret is that I've had to wait this long for a re-run to get C6, haha.
my c0 ayaka is my strongest with the 60/250 ratio, hitting 50k per tick on her burst. I swear she's the strongest dps in my team.
Good luck, everyone. I know we can do it! Ayaka will come home!
