Who is Kamisato Ayaka?

A 5 star Cryo princess from the House Kamisato uses a sword to defend her beloved region of Inazuma. From her skills and abilities, it is noted that she would be a great DPS character if you’re on the hunt for one. She is the eldest daughter of the Kamisato Clan which has been described as poised and graceful in-game.

Kamisato Ayaka’s Banner

Her banner was released on the 21st of July 2021 and is known as The Heron’s Court. She kickstarts the Inazuma region’s release and new archon quest to complete – Chapter 2: Act 1 The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia.

Accompanying her in this banner would be Chongyun, Ningguang and Yanfei as well so there’s a higher chance for you to get one of those three characters if you fail to get Ayaka. There’s always the off chance you could get other characters as well.

The two banners that follow after hers would see the release of Yoimiya and Sayu – both new characters for the Inazuma region.

Elemental Skills & Burst

If you’re curious as to what her skills and abilities are, here’s a table that simplifies it for you:

Talent	Type	Description
Kamisato Art: Naname	Normal/Charged/Plunging Attack	Normal: 5 rapid strikes. Charged: Consumes stamina to release a continuous stream of sword ki. Plunging: Plunge from mid-air damaging those below and casting AoE damage.
Kamisato Art: Hyouka	Elemental Skill	Summons ice to surround her and launches it at enemies. Deals AoE damage.
Kamisato Art: Soumetsu	Elemental Burst	She gathers frost with her fan and sword to create snowstorms that deal Cryo damage to enemies over time. This is known as Frostflake Seki no To and explodes when it is over, causing AoE damage.
Kamisato Art: Senho	Alternate Sprint	This uses stamina. She cloaks herself in a frozen fog that moves with her and can move swiftly over water. When she reappears, she unleashes Cryo on enemies and her blade is infused with Cryo for a limited time.
Kanten Senmyou Blessing	Passive Talent (1st Ascension)	When the Cryo effect from Kamisato Art: Senho hits opponents Ayaka gains 10 stamina and an 18% Cryo DMG Bonus for 10s.
Amatsumi Kunitsumi Sanctification	Passive Talent (4th Ascension)	After the use of Kamisato Art: Hyouka, Ayaka’s normal and charged attacks deals 30% increased DMG for 6s.
Fruits of Shinsa	Passive Talent (Utility)	Crafting Weapon Ascension Materials allows her a 10% chance to receive double the product.

Character Constellations

Each character has constellations that make them unique to each other. Once you’ve activated all the constellations, you’ll have the best and most powerful form of the character (that is if you’ve gotten everything else for them too).

Level	Name	Effect
1	Snowswept Sakura	When her normal or charged attacks deal Cryo DMG, there’s a 50% chance of decreasing CD of Kamisato Art: Hyouka by 0.3s. The effect can occur once every 0.1s.
2	Blizzard Blade Seki no To	Unleash 2 additional small Frostflake Seki no To, each dealing 20% of the original storm’s DMG. Only when casting Kamisato Art: Soumetsu.
3	Frostbloom Kamifubuki	Increase the level of Kamisato Art: Soumetsu by 3, maximum 15.
4	Ebb and Flow	Enemies damaged by Kamisato Art: Soumetsu’s Frostflake Seki no To will have their DEF decrease by 30% for 6s.
5	Blossom Cloud Irutsuki	Increase level of Kamisato Art: Hyouka by 3, maximum 15.
6	Dance of Suigetsu	She gains Usurahi Botou every 10s. Charged Attack DMG increases by 298% Buff will be cleared 0.5s after her Charged Attack hits an enemy and the timer for the ability will restart.

Weapon & Artifacts

When it comes to the best weapons you could get for Ayaka, naturally, the first weapon that comes to mind would be her very own 5-star sword the Mistsplitter Reforged. This katana is infused with Electro energy which could help enhance her power further. The Mistsplitter Reforged could grant her elemental DMG bonus for every element as well as the might of Misplitter’s Seal that grants her further elemental DMG for her element.

If you’re not lucky enough to get her sword, you can use the Primordial Jade Cutter or The Black Sword. Both are good if you’re using her as a DPS as they can inflict pretty high damage.

In terms of artifacts, using the Blizzard Strayer set from Dragonspine would do the trick as it helps increases her Cryo DMG bonus as well as CRIT Rate. If you can’t get a complete set, you could combine it with the Gladiator’s Finale set for an increase in ATK.

If you’re adventurous, you could try out one of the latest additions to the game: the Shimenawa’s Reminiscence set. This set could help you increase your damage and attack at the cost of energy.

Team Members

Now, you might be wondering who would work well with Ayaka? Well, if you’re using her as a DPS, here are the characters that might prove handy in battle – for support, you would need another Cryo character like Diona, Kaeya or Rosaria which could help you increase DMG and receive healing (Diona).

Having a Hydro character around is important as well, as Ayaka is a Cryo character. Hydro characters like Xingqiu or Barbara could help you create a state of permafrost when they combine their skills with Ayaka’s Cryo.

Now, to round it all up an Anemo character would help with any crowd control or herd your enemies together for you to bring them down. Characters like Venti, Sucrose or Kazuha would work well here. They could also help with creating more elemental reactions to subdue enemies.

There you have it, the best guide you could look for when it comes to Genshin Impact’s latest character. Now, what are you waiting for? Let’s get to playing!
