ULTIMATE Ayaka Guide - ALL Weapons RANKED, Teams, and MORE! Genshin Impact

um hello and welcome to my channel i want to lose gaming after playing with my level 90 iaca for over a day now doing plenty of research and theory crafting prior to her release and finally plenty of testing here is a complete and comprehensive guide to kamisato ayaka [Music] this video is going to be a different style compared to my usual guide videos and i'll try and talk fast because there is a lot of info to go through so starting off let's take a look at her talents and we're going to go a bit out of order because parts of her kit build up on other parts of her kit so we're going to start with this most simple part of our kit her elemental skill the kami sato art hyouka now her e unlike other characters has only one version just a tap version and it takes around 56 frames to execute it hits in a circle around her has a pretty respectable multiplier at 383 at level eight and it generates i believe four to five particles and has a 10 second cooldown and finally thanks to her ascension 2's passive it also provides 30 increased damage for 6 seconds to her normal and charge attacks now you don't actually have to hit anything with this elemental skill in order for it to buff her basic attacks so when you use it you can see here that she has this cool cryo aura thing that's like emanating from her that's how you know that the basic attack buff is on next up is her unique dash the kamasato art sento it is only shared with mona currently only mona and ayaka have this dash so basically the way it works is that she goes underground and then she pops up when she pops up she actually hits things around her with cryo and before we hit something to apply cry on to it the primogeo bishop you see right now that her attacks are just normal yellow or whatever color that means they're doing physical damage after she does her dash you can see now that they are in the cryo color and this lasts for five seconds after her dash after she pops up from her dash the crime fusion so if we use her dash and pop up we can see now that the primo jiofi chef has cry on it and that can be very useful for many different reasons but also when you hit things with her dash it boosts her cryo damage so it boosts it by 18 up until 79.6 and i believe it's indicated by those arrows which have now disappeared you can see how now her crown damage is back down to 61.6 percent very useful in some ways and very not useful in other ways but also when the dash connects it also restores a little bit of stamina so that way ayaka has better stamina management than for example a character like mona really quick we have her exploration passive or whatever when she crashed weapon essential material she has 10 chance of receiving double the product not much to say about that and now that we understand her elemental skill and her unique dash we can talk about her basic attacks so both her elemental skill and her dash enhance her basic attacks her basic attacks are pretty cool looking her normal attack has five parts to it but you'll probably rarely find yourself using all five parts of it if you want to be optimal in her dps [Music] i wanted to actually show the animation so let's change the camera angle and her charge attack there's three hits and this little flurry of slashes and you can actually jump cancel it and dash cancel it right when the slashes come out but if you do it too early you'll snuff out the attack and that applies for dash as well so you want to be careful when you try to animation cancel it you want to time it properly and you see that i did too early if you do it too late you actually lose out on dps compared to just normally so it's a fine balance now knowing all this what we can do is we can do a combination of you know everything that we just learned so we can use dash e n2 charge attack and then cancel it with the dash so you can see that i messed up the combo it does take a little bit of practice but you'll get the hang of it over time and you know i haven't really done it that much myself but that's kind of the general idea in terms of using her basic attacks you want to interweave dashes and ease in between in order to keep the crown fusion and the 30 bonus buff on her so finally let's talk about the best part about her kit which is her elemental burst the kami sato art sometsu aika's burst travels slowly forward and does a ton of hits if all hits connect it ends up doing 19 cutting damage and explodes at the very end which does the bloom damage for a little bit of extra damage so one way to easily utilize iac's burst is to freeze or even petrify enemies or even like cc enemies with benti's burst then ayaka's burst will stay on them to do all of its hits alternatively you can do this to a large monster like the primo ji bishop or the power regis fine both of which this works extremely well against so what makes this burst really amazing is the fact that at level 9 this burst ends up doing 3 913 skill damage to put this into perspective gonu's fully charged charged shots do a lot of damage but ayaka's burst is equivalent to six and a half of gun used charge shots which is absolutely insane and finally ayaka's energy drain from reverse happens very quickly so you can e right before you cast her burst and she will catch those energy particles and you'll see that her burst starts off with a little bit of energy instead of being empty and that is thanks to her burst draining the energy extremely quickly so it is always important to talk about the drawbacks which are not limited to the 80 energy cost and some difficulty aiming you may have trouble getting it to hit all the targets but that is where supports come in to really help assist with getting ioka's burst to hit everything with some practice and some decent positioning you can work around both its energy costs and aiming problems so i'll quickly talk about ayaka's constellations even though in this video we won't be using any of them so aigo's constellation 1 can reduce her elemental skill by 0.3 seconds 50 to the time when her basic attacks connect i believe according to some people that have it they say it can reduce her elemental skill down to roughly five seconds or so five to six seconds and this is pretty powerful because it allows ayaka to you know use the higher dps on her elemental skill but also generate a lot more particles or her burst next is her constellation 2 which really boosts her burst damage by quite a bit especially if you can get the two smaller burst things to hit now that can be pretty challenging because they shoot off at different angles you know like roughly 30 degrees to the left and 30 degrees to the right of the main one but if you do get both of them to connect all their hits that's around 40 additional damage which is pretty crazy considering her elemental burst already does a ton of damage and her constellation three is very simple it just adds three levels to her elemental burst this increases her damage for most characters by around 18 or so i did not do the calculations for aika but you know you can expected her burst to do another 18 to 20 percent more damage thanks to the additional skill levels on her burst hinter constellation 4 further increases her bursts um utility and damage by shredding defense by 30 percent this leads to you know i think off top my head 15 to 25 additional damage on the target very very powerful constellation again so as you can see her constellations two three and four all boosts her burst damage by quite a bit and what's crazy is that they're all multiplicative to each other so you can see how her constellations are really jacking up her burst damage constellation 5 boosts the talent level of her e a bit which is okay not that great and finally her constellation 6 increases her charge attack damage i don't fully know how this works but you know if you're a whale you're going to get this anyway and you're going to be able to tell what it does [Music] so finally we're getting into some math and artifacts for aika as usual my numbers are damaged maximized numbers will now go through the shuffles around main stats and subsets to find optimal stat distribution for a specific character weapon an artifact set combination you can usually read 70 to 80 percent of the numbers in this sheet if you farm a lot of artifacts around 6 000 to 10 000 resin worth of artifacts so looking at this chart it's pretty clear which set is best for iaka and that is the blizzard strayer set so the blizzard strayer not only provides the 15 additional cryo damage but it also provides 20 to 40 percent crit rate 20 percent of the enemy just has cryo and 40 if the enemy is frozen since ayaka is also a cryo character with craft resonance that's another 15 crit rate putting her at 55 bonus quit rate against the frozen target so as such you can stack pretty much a ton of crit damage with this set this makes this an extremely powerful artifact set as you can see in the chart there is no close second place when it comes to fighting against a frozen target to the four piece blizzard strayer set because ika does a ton of little damage you always want a good crit rate to crit damage ratio one to two generally speaking but you always want to factor in the bonus crit rate as well when you calculate that one to two ratio now the next best set is still the four piece blizzard strayer but it is against a target with cryo on them and that still puts this artifact set at a very clear first place beating the second best set combination of the two-piece blizzard and two-piece gladiators now let's talk about the two-piece blizzard and two-piece gladiators and this is actually not completely useless to know because it's the best in slot combination against enemies that cannot be cryo'ed for example electro slimes electro hypostasis the animo box cube thing maybe the pyruvate cube i actually haven't even fought the pyrocube yet so i don't know if you can apply other elements onto it but you kind of get the point basically enemies that cannot have cryo applied to them this set will be a very good and very well-rounded set also really quick for artifacts you like with pretty much any attack percentage scaling carry you want an attack percent timepiece you want a cryo damage goblet and you want a crit damage circle it especially with the blizzard strayer set because you're gonna get a lot of free crit rate depending on the scenario and generally speaking after you factor in the bonus crit rate you want to have a one to two crit damage ratio but do be careful of over crit in that situation you will have too much crit rate any amount of crit rate over 100 is usually worthless there are a few events that subtract hurt rate so do keep that in mind but for most situations any crit rate of 100 is useless [Music] but now that we've finally established her artifacts we can finally talk about her weapons so here is a chart with damage maximized numbers for her weapons we're going to be assuming that she is running the four piece blizzard strayer against a frozen target but without cryo resonance so this gives her 40 bonus crit rate total though originally i had sorted this chart based on her basic attack damage but let's be real aiga's brokenness comes from her 3913 burst multiplier that pops out just by pressing q so instead i decided to sort this chart by burst damage instead anyway here we have the full chart as usual with all the whale weapons no one's surprised the refinement 5 missed splitter is the best sword for aika but let's condense this chart into something more useful for the majority of us so now that we're looking at this more condensed chart i wanted to start off with the free to play weapons that i recommend the most the first one is definitely the black cliff longsword and being a cryodps aika has access to blizzard's rare and crowd resonance and this can add up to 55 quid rate against the frozen target and with for example a support like rosaria for particles and crowd damage you can reach up to 70 bonus current rate as such the crit damage subset is extremely valuable and you may be wondering why is the great damage upset so valuable in general parties can easily buff attack you can get attack percent very easily with pyro resonance no bless oblige tenacity four piece you can get it from bennett you can get it from the thrilling tales of dragon slayer which provides a whopping 48 anyway you get the point there are a lot of sources for boosting attack however there are currently no sources outside of very rarely used food items that boost crit damage so usually the bottleneck multiplier for many teams is crit damage and you generally want to stack that as much as possible assuming you have enough crit rate and fortunately for ayaka she also has crit damage as an ascension stat that's why you get crazy stats like 55.9 percent rate and 234.8 percent crit damage you can see that my individual artifacts aren't actually that crazy sure this one has a decent amount of crit rate this one has pretty good stats overall this one is actually one of the better artifacts that i have and the goblet is pretty much bad you know it only has one extra roll into crit rate and the crit damage circle is also really bad it only has one extra roll and to create my off piece is the best goblet that i own on my entire account which does have really good crit damage and create but you can see how these artifacts while they're great right they're solid artifacts they're nothing that crazy you know these artifacts are achievable with in about i'd say 8 000 to 10 000 resin worth of farming you know that is a lot of dedication but you can get there anyway i got a little bit derailed i was talking about the black glue slasher of course the passive is situational and there are times where it does become useful but generally speaking it's not that great because aika you want to get her buffs up and then cast her burst and that's it right so by the time her burst is done usually everything is dead and if they're not dead then i can start to do a lot less damage so you know you want to avoid that situation in the end i'm going to be using my highly accurate and reliable slime rating system originally i gave this weapon a three slime rating but given its ease of access as well as its occasionally useful passive and finally is extremely valuable crit damage subset i'm bumping this up to three and a half slimes out of five slimes but now let's talk about the overall best weapons for ioka starting off with the missed splitter reforged as you can tell mine isn't fully leveled it the missed glitters were forged i'll be doing a full review of this weapon later on but it's fairly practical to use her burst with three stacks knowing this this is unquestionably the best weapon for her burst and easily deserves a five slime rating out of five slime there's also the best weapon for her basic attack damage as well so if we take a look at the missed glitter at refinement 5 versus a black cliff with zero stacks we can see that the r5 missed splitter is doing 118 percent versus the black cliff 73 this means that the missed splitter at refinement five is doing around 60 percent more damage on her burst which is absolutely insane the next weapon i wanted to quickly talk about is the summit shaper it's an all right choice but building stacks with a bunch of her normal attacks and then also needing a shield and then finally using her burst is very restrictive there isn't much else to say but given the lack of other really good swords the summon shaper still deserves a forced slime at a five slime rating and the next sword to talk about is the jade cutter unfortunately the jade cutter really does suffer from over crit on ica but even with the absurd amount of crit damage rolls that my maximizer algorithm gravitates towards when you use the jade cutter the jade cutter actually isn't that high on this list but despite that it's still a great weapon and it's unconditional and it's still one of the best weapons against non-criable enemies like the aforementioned electro slimes electro hypostasis etc it also has the additional benefits of not needing to build one stack with a mis-splitter before you use the burst or build a bunch of stacks with a shield like the summit shaper so all in all this is a great unconditional weapon deserving a 4 slime rating and next i want to talk about the black sword black sword is still overall a good choice it boosts her basic attack damage by quite a bit and even though most of ika's damage comes from her burst boosting her basic attack damage is still great to have now unfortunately this does have the crit ray subset which can be bad can be good but it makes it susceptible to over crit as well nonetheless still a very solid choice and i believe this sword deserves a 3 slime at a 5 slime rating next is the anna mona kageyuchi which is a great choice as well also being completely free to play and craftable this one provides some free energy which can be situationally useful and can allow her to use her burst again much more quickly now unfortunately this does lack the crit damage subset which is very very useful on aika however i believe this is still a great choice deserving three slimes out of five slimes as for other swords worth mentioning the harbinger of dawn is perfectly usable on aika valley flash is pretty solid too as long as you don't get hit so i recommend a shield even comparatively flavorless swords like the flute and lion's roar are all usable on iaco and they are comparable in damage to the animono aguji last but not least the five star weapons the scarborough blade and akila fuvoni are both decent options as well [Music] last but not least let's talk about teams for aika aika as demonstrated is extremely powerful in a freeze composition as such you want a hydro character with her and in my opinion the best hydra character to pair with aika is mona mona just adds so much bonus damage and is a great wielder of the thrilling tales of dragon slayer and synasty and miloth so she ends up offering 60 bonus damage and 68 attack as well as being able to freeze the enemy for the duration of ayaka's burst very very powerful and in my opinion the best support character for aika if you don't have mona or you're using mono on another team i guess the next best hydra applicator is ching choo ching choo does decent off-field dps single target dps himself with his burst and shinchu does have higher up time on his freeze when you do have his burst up in comparison to a character like mona so overall shinchu is a great support unit for aika to apply freeze now unfortunately if you don't have mona or shinchu or constellation 4 tartaglia you're kind of just left with barbara [Music] and unfortunately barbara's off-field hydra application is pretty poor to say the least and she also doesn't offer that damage amplification that mona does so you know i guess you can use her if you need to but it's not something that i would necessarily recommend now as for the other two teammates generally outside of aika and hydro support the other two slots are extremely flexible and in fact even the hydro support like mona is actually flexible depending on the situation but we'll get to that later for these two slots i generally like to focus on one of the following you either want to increase aika's damage through damage amplification or you provide her the utility to increase her damage and finally you can improve her quality life or you know decrease the amount of time between your cycles with a battery like another cryo unit starting off with damage amplification obviously bennett right bennett's good for pretty much any team he buffs aika's insane burst damage even more bennett has been broken since release and he has broken with aika as well dong li is another support that really stands out to me as well obviously only provides the crowd control petrification he provides the shield ike does get easily interrupted when she's using her basic attacks sony also provides 20 universal resistance shred you can even have him as an energy support character with the fuvonius lance overall an extremely flexible character and only is a very powerful support for aika finally you can also consider cryo characters like diona private characters like diona provide the prior resonance which provides 15 additional crit rate against cryo units and also diona provides a lot of cryo particles for aika to feel her burst and finally deona provides a good shield and some healing as well you have other cryo supports as well that all provide something different gone you can provide you know crazy bursts you can also use cheongyun to more easily infuse ayaka's stuff as well as lower her cooldowns and provide prior resonance and cryoparticles you can use euler i guess i actually like using yula with aika as well you just have two really broken bursts and you can use kaya for particles as well as additional cryo damage and of course you let's not forget about rosaria rosario is another great cryo character with ayaka being able to provide a lot of crowd particles as well as being able to fight cry residents and finally the additional crit rate with her burst up lastly we have the animo supports venti and kazuha both of them are broken in different ways casa is the better damage amplifier and also he provides a good amount of crowd control and venti provides obviously the best crowd control in the entire game both of them can shred power resistance which makes them extremely powerful because you're just jacking up ayaka's crazy burst damage even more and these three characters for example mona aika plus an animal character like venti or kazuha can combine to really make it easy to hit everything with ika's birth as demonstrated in my earlier 12-1-1 run where i utilize these three characters to basically lock the geo vish apps in place gather them up and then i just burst easily hit both of them clearing them out in no time at all and finally we have this really interesting composition and i'm going to call this the super nuke comp and this is because you have aika's crazy burst doing you know hundreds of thousands of damage and then you can follow up with who towed using her burst and then melting her charge attacks after that to do you know well over a million damage with hutao as well so i think this composition has a lot of interesting potential against targets that have a ton of hit points of course right now nothing in the game can come close to surviving that but we'll see in the future if we get more enemies like that primo jiu bishop that had 2 million hit points and sorry guys i know this video took a lot longer than i expected in terms of the duration of the video but there's just so much i want to talk about for aika and since my day one c0 showcase which the link to will be in the description below and as well as in an end card my opinions of aika have changed in the sense that i think she's even better than how amazing i thought she was already on day one now is she at gun news level or even hutao or eula's level right now that's a bit hard to say but i will be doing a dps showdown between ayaka and ganyu and potentially a third character i'm not entirely sure who the third character should be either giula or who tower maybe someone else let me know in the comments below who you want the third character in the dps showdown to be between aika ganyu and then third character anyway i'd really appreciate if you smash that subscribe button it's insane that you guys have brought me to 100 000 subscribers so thank you all so much as always i appreciate every single one of you this is i went to lose signing out [Music] you

I really hope this doesn't break any rules.

Anyway, there's a lot of people in the help megathread asking about which weapon they should use.

This video gives a really good breakdown on how the damage for each weapon compares, and he also gives them a rating based on their general performance.

I think that it's pretty much perfect to help people decide what they want to use, and it also provides help with team compositions as well.

He also just uploaded another video providing gameplay showing the differences between black cliff, anemona, and mistsplitter if you happen to find that more useful.

I highly, highly recommend that anyone who needs help building their ayaka look at his videos, because they are the best breakdowns that I have seen so far.

As a side note, I am not an amazing reference for meta genshin, so if people disagree with what I've said by all means please let me know, as I am also looking to improve.

Glad to have finally found a video comparing her main 3 swords well!
