Forgot to mention using ayato with her. It works, but it’s not insane. Run him with fav. It’s nicer if you can go without a healer or shielder because you lose damage if you don’t, but if you have to use charlotte or Layla so be it. Not recommended for comfy abyss clears but it’s definitely usable for fun.
except the last abyss cycle (where i ran furina), i always run ayaka with ayato just because i love the idea that big bro ayato supports his lil sis. I haven't full starred abyss 12 yet (my goal is only 30 stars every cycle because the effort to get 6 more stars for 100 more primos don't feel that rewarding to me), but im super happy playing the two of them against the hardest contents XD
@@arch391I can comfortably get 33 to 35 stars on most abyss cycles but man that 36 star is not worth the effort for 50 primos. I've done it before but it's not worth the headache.
I have wanted Ayaka ever since I saw that gorgeous cutscene in her story quest and the 'Tsubaki in Thawing Snow' trailer. I love her, and everything her character represents. Justice, family, resilience, dignity and quiet rebellion. Everytime her theme plays when I'm in Inazuma I get goosebumps. Yu-Peng Chen is a musical genius. I have 230 wishes saved for my ice princess!
@@Ruuinx that was a way to show that Ayaka, the one who always has to be perfect, the one that does no wrong, forgot her etiquette, let go of that mask she has to always have on for everyone around her and for that short moment did what she wanted to do, honestly I dont blame people for joking about it, but it has a very deep meaning to what her character is at its core.
4:13 people don’t usually talk about this, but Xingqiu’s rain swords also apply hydro the way Barbara’s ring does. So you can actually get some consistent aoe app out of him if you really hug the enemies. It’s very good for an Ayaka that stays on field to charged attack or sprint.
This!! And also Xingqui can break pyro abyss lectors and abyss mages shields faster than Ayato,yesterday I noticed the difference when I switched my Xingqui to Ayato,I'm just so sad that Ayato's skill and burst takes so damn long to break the pyro abyss lectors shield,like why did they do him dirty like that😭
Since Ayaka's dash applies cryo with no ICD whenever she pops up, she has the best cryo application for breaking shields. You can finish off hydro lectors just by spamming dash into them.
Been an Ayaka main since her first banner! I first saw her on the main trailer of genshin, I wanted her already and have been hyped for her since. She has never disappointed. Carries me in abyss and domains with freeze comps. Great ice bridge for overworld exploration. All hail soggy socks princess! 💞
And also a very satisfying gameplay experience. Her whole kit is utilized. No useless normals, skill isn't just for particles or 3h long, burst doesn't force you to stay on field and gives you raw damage. And the permanent freeze is super satisfying too
Btw if you're agreed or not ... But the truth is ayaka is not made for f2p players also she's not suitable to them who don't have some premium characters like kazuha(must compulsory), kokomi(healer).. and shenha
and shenhe is sort of low value unit. like you only pull for her if you have Ayaka, Shenhe or Ganyu(but Wrio honestly feels better in melt Teams that include a dendro or oven. while Ganyu is more for true melt teams or more like a jack of all trades master of none.
For anyone on the fence I think the most important thing to consider is whether or not you like a little tryhard. Ayaka isn't nearly as comfy as a lot of other characters. My Ayaka is absolutely cracked being one of my strongest built characters at 99/263 with 144 ER and one of only 3 character I've pulled weapon for... but despite that I actually don't play her very often because it's just kinda too much work when others can achieve similar clears more easily and reliably. That said, when I am in the mood to play her right she deletes anything that isn't immune and it can be very satisfying to get a clean run with her. Also it is nice that her weapon is extremely generalist so if you do decide to go for that vertical investment it will never be wasted even if Ayaka is chillin' on the bench.
I absolutely love how quick swap oriented she is. Her teams feel so active and engaging. Your stats are good enough that you shouldn’t have issues 36ing the abyss even without perfect freezes
@@dylanhicks4771 Yeah my Ayaka can 36* using only charged attacks lol, but that's not fun or really the point of her kit and most players considering whether or not to pull her won't be looking at damage like that out of the gate. If you actually need her burst to connect to clear she can be unreliable and frustrating if you don't like having to reset sometimes when her targeting misbehaves and sends her burst into the void or the high hp enemy unfreezes for a sec and teleports away. I played her for a long time with amenoma and much lesser stats before going for her weapon on a rerun and one of the reasons I went for her weapon, aside from its high general value, is because I find she can get tedious to play if she isn't so cracked that you can afford to have half her damage miss.
This! Not only she's not very easy to properly play, she require some good rolls on artifacts on her and her team, and some other premium characters are really needed. Kazuha, who's very good on most teams, and, IMO, Kokomi, because without her you basically have to either play with Barbara who's kinda difficult to use in this team, Diona, so you damage will be lower, or play without proper healer, that is even harder.
Cryo immune characters are such a pain... I tried to make Ayaka my 2nd main (1st is Yoimiya), and since Freeze team doesn't do reactions, I'm sometimes stuck in some situations where she suddenly feels so weak.
Regarding her teams, I recommend the Furina/Charlotte/Anemo version even to seasoned Ayaka players. Better damage profile, more quickswap, more comfortable.
been using this and seriously finding anything worth a challenge. It is just so smooth with furina's hydro and charolette's team wide healing and Jean's as well.
Tbh, I would say the most irreplaceable character for Ayaka is Shenhe, Kazuha can be replaced by Venti when there are tons of enemies who can be grouped. (The damage boost by Shenhe is so great when I compare my Ayaka without Shenhe Vs people's Ayaka with Shenhe)
Furinas c2 dmg buff is comparable, especially if you account for her personal dmg as well. Shenhe will probably still provide ayaka the bigger numbers tho it that’s what your looking for.
I am a day 1 Ayaka main (top 1% formerly, but I’ve fallen to top 7% since stopped farming sadly) and I have been really surprised at how much I love the Furina Charlotte variant of her teams. It feels much more consistent and comfortable than the Shenhe variant to me. If any of you have lost interest in Ayaka over the years y’all should definitely try it out.
As a diehard F2P premium Ayaka player, I will pull for her c2 and i recommending Shenhe 100%, now i need shenhe c1-c3 (currently Ayaka C1R1, Shenhe Fav C0, Kazuha C0 Xiphos, Kokomi C0 TTDS)
Yes, I 've been waiting for this video! I love my Ayaka but, I didn't want her "premium team". Then Furina showed up! She's changed everything for my Ayaka! Nothing better than a hydro that follows you around and boosts your damage! I have yet to clear spiral at all but, blame my f2p build, hate of artifact farming and less than a year old account.
Her c1 isn't useless at all😅. It actually allows her to get away with 115-120 er tbh. It reduces her e-skill cool down, and each of her CA slashes can trigger her cool down reduction, allowing for more e-skill casts. When timed perfectly you can do an additional e-skill cast in the 10sec cooldown. I'd say getting her c1 is pretty amazing if u wanna be a low spender. Also her c1 kinda works perfectly with the Haran as it gives the 40%NA when proced and you wanna do as many NA and CA to reduce e-skill cooldown.
Having ayaka on some early Inazuma's quests is like cheating the game especially when fighting Raiden for the first time and when the visions are locked, she still can apply and deal cryo every time after she's sprinting 😂
My first ever limited 5 star Currently on 37:242 crit ratio with 142 ER and anemona kageuchi I have decided to get her premium team and have Koko and Kazu now Skipping Navia for for Shenhe I just love her and never regret pulling her
cryo has always been my favorite element in any game ice and cold related stuff is really cool all pun intended so either mono cryo or freeze shall still be my main even tho i dont have ayaka yet
I pulled Kokomi, Kazuha, Shenhe and Mistsplitter just for Ayaka as a f2p lol. I was really crazy for her when i started playing and she was my favorite character for a long time
Worth mentioning about c2 Ayaka's extra burst hits is that it also changes how you play around the ICD on her burst. This mainly applies if you're trying to experiment with various forward/reverse melt setups for Ayaka. Also, obligatory Ganyu is better than Ayaka in Abyss because of Melt teams. Rumor has it that the next group of Spiral enemies are gonna include Wenut, Ruin Serpent, and Aeonblight Drake. Ranged Ganyu will be eating well then.
3:22 this is really funny because as SOON as I pulled Venti I immediately and very specifically replaced Kazuha in this team. I’m probably gonna replace Koko with Furina as soon as I can too. I don’t care about meta as we can tell 😅 just going ham with some of my favorites
That's the team I used to use. Ayaka, Shenhe, kokomi, venti. Weirdly enough I always want hydro to imbue his burst. It used to be so amazing when everything is easily frozen and even if they're big but still gets pulled slightly.
Three teams I would go for: Ayaka Shenhe Kokomi Kazuha - dont need to explain why this is highest dps that is relatively safe to use... Ayaka Diona Mona Kazuha - Diona is the defensive support + cryo resonance, then Mona just gives you the Omen debuff at your disposal. Sacrificial Bow lets Diona battery without needing crits. Ayaka Rosaria Kokomi Kazuha - Allows Ayaka to go even LOWER with her crit rate by up to 15% less. 30% is her hardcap with this team when Rosaria's stuff is at 100% crit rate and decent ER. The 3rd is that I use at the moment, but mine's nowhere near at its best possible performance right now. Rosaria's missing her Noblesse set boost, Kokomi isn't on 4pc ToTM, and Ayaka's artifacts have nearly 50% def rolls from her placeholder artifacts...
Do you know when Nahida will rerun approximately? I really want to save for C2 as she’s my favourite character and hyperbloom is my favourite archetype!!!
@@Prince-Angelito I wouldn't trust leaks that far ahead tbh. Remember in 4.0 or 4.1 the leaks were Albedo & Navia in 4.3 along with Raiden and Itto(now both Albedo and Itto disappeared 💀)
@@stylerxo3654 yeah up to 40% cryo dmg and 40% cryo res shred. Zhongli gives 20% res shred and 20% atk on ToM or 35% cryo dmg with petra, you lose some damage from ayaka + kazuha + layla but you get some from Ganyu, team wide DPS should be around the same since Ganyu is also buffed by Shenhe and she gives 20% cryo dmg to the character on field.
Thanks for the advice and happy new year, currently I suddenly pulls on her banner and got her (expect to lose the 50/50 because i was got lucky on Navia banner), not mad just surprised, and now i have a reason to rolls for Shenhe! (I really want Shenhe but doesn’t have any cryo DPS except fremy now is ayaka) as for now i will try to get at least c2 sucrose to run her with furina/ charlotte/ sucrose/ ayaka team comp
No cause same. I pulled Navia and her weapon and was just wishing for sucrose and got Ayaka at 20 pity😭😭. I fully expected to lose the 50/50 at hard pity and wait for Nahida lmaOo
@@Scarbussoh my same! I got her at my 77 pity, i was ready to lose 50/50 to dehya c2 or mona, and saved the guarantee for yae but her shows up at the final roll make my jaw dropped hard, my friend even say wtf to it cuz she got qiqi while i have ayaka 😂
-A minor mistake in the video: Barbara cannot make use of Sacrificial Fragments as her Elemental Skill does not inflict damage.- Correction: Barbara's skill *does* inflict damage on cast and in melee range. Apologies.
I can confirm, I've reliably been able to trigger the Sacrificial Fragments cooldown reset with Barbara no problem :) Which is a big help considering how long the cooldown is otherwise. You just need to be right beside an enemy when you use her skill.
So excited to finally get her, I finally have her garentueed. Gonna spend some xmas cash to get my princess. I've wanted her since I first started playing, hopefully I can get her and her skin. Gonna run her with Ganyu, Furina and Kokomi
for the teams section you forgot yelan, yes you would have to weave in some normals to get her hydro app to work but she can also buff ayaka if you don't have furina
Solid video. Great stuff! I did want to mention that 4 piece Emblem can be worthwhile on monocryo teams for Ayaka. In those cases you're not taking full advantage of the 4 piece bonus of Blizzard Strayer and the burst buff can be nice. You'd probably have to put it into an optimizer calculator based on your own artifacts and weapons to see which is better. For me, I have cracked emblem pieces with tons of crit stats and I have the mistsplitter so emblem tends to work better.
I am planning to get her (Ayaka) in 4.3!! From what I have seen, Ayaka has a rather comfy playstyle and does a lot of damage. I have a really 4pc blizzard set for her just by using the strongbox.
@@ashenzenden Perhaps mid in the meta, but not mid for cryo. And there is always the chance that the meta could shift once the story shifts to Natlin and Snezneya.
Early game I had Beidou, Xiangling and Xinyan carrying me. Then I got Ayaka by accident a few months ago while trying to get a 4 star I wanted and I definitely don’t feel like I wasted that guarantee. Ayaka was a godsend at a time when my increasing WL was making content harder for me because I’m not a highly skilled player. I played her everyday for months until I lost a 50/50 to Keqing (also no regrets there either). But I still use Aya regularly for domain and bossy fights. Don’t have Shenhe, but have her on Isshin with a decent 4pc BS and play her with Layla on Fav and her busrt is always ready on cooldown. Thanks for giving her some much deserved love and attention!
Ye, getting kaching was the best thing that happened to me ^^ (i think from standard wish), only replaced by nuvi when i got him I dont use ayaka anymore but i dont regret pulling for her, made oceanid a breeze until kaching team got better with fishl (i had a few hydros to lvl up, lol). I guess can i still use her on enemies with electric shields cos she melts them, but atm not doing bosses/domains and for regular mobs like fatui i just brute force them with nuvi.
I’m glad that you listed this as C0 in the label. I feel like it’s worth mentioning how her ceiling does go much higher than many of the “better at c0” units which often use reactions. Ayakas 10 constellations (c4 ayaka and c6 Shenhe) do give her an absurd ceiling. Definitely not for new players, but as a day 1 ftp, I have c6 ayaka and will have c6 Shenhe on shenhes next banner.
Wtf 💀 Aint no way you're f2p and you have C6 Ayaka with Shenhe at C4 That's insane and honestly absolutely not worth it (and im saying that as Ayaka fan)
@@real_rutmen I’m a day 1 player. Maybe 1 year of welkin and 3 battlepasses (so $90 across my 3 years). I have like 20+ limited 5 stars. I have 10+ teams I can’t even play, so I figured maybe as well meme and make my ayaka a true queen, rather than keep pulling for new 5 stars that I’ll never use. We get 90 pulls a patch, they have to go somewhere.
Given the amount you spoke about Finale of the Deep, I'm surprised you didn't mention the other new sword option we got with Fontaine that looks like it has the potential to be a very good weapon on Ayaka. The new battle pass weapon Wolf-Fang increases skill + burst damage, and while the rest of its passive effects do mean you can run the risk of overcapping on crit rate, the direct increase to her burst damage is extremely useful.
Look for a Kazuha rerun or a banner that features Sucrose. There's also a chance you could get Jean on a 50/50, and her value has risen considerably since Furina came out.
@@Lennis01 i started playing in 3.8 so right after kazuha's banner, i skipped venti because don't have enough primos and no banner has have sucrose featured. Hope sucrose will be included in paimon's bargain
I will cook for Ayaka's team with Furina, Charlotte, and Kazuha, I think that it will be so delicious, and it’s: giving Charlotte TTDS, while giving her Nobless, and ER% Sands, and Healing Circlet, and give Furina ToM; with Fav, and give Kazuha Fav, while giving Ayaka the Craftable Fontaine Sword - The Finale of the Deep R5. I think with that combo; it will just make it better than her team with Shenhe, and Kokomei…
I did use chongyun instead of shenhe for the longest time tbh. He works just as well as Rosaria, and is even better for frontloaded damage, while rosaria requires enemies to stay in her ult, wich is not always possible. It will also reduce ayaka's skill at higher constellations in his skill's circle and ayaka doesn't have to dash when she's in his circle to apply cryo on auto attacks, you wont get ayaka's buff though. Pretty fun having him there. He can also battery her with a sacrificial. That being said, I think Melt will get a comeback when the new nation will come out, as well as overload teams and geo teams. I just have a hunch. When the last nation, snezhnaya comes out, freeze will get a comeback, cryo as a whole anyway.
ayaka is one of the first 5-stars i ever got way back when, and she's been my fav character (and number one crutch) ever since. that said, i'm probably not pulling for her on this banner (unless the four stars are really good) since cons aren't the most impactful vertical investment and i don't have enough primos to feel comfortable going for the weapon. i'm planning on saving for the rumored upcoming shenhe rerun instead, to help my girl reach her full potential.
For people who don't have kazuha and shenhe for ayaka hear me out. A really good ayaka team for the current abyss (4.2 floor 12 first half) is with Furina, xingqui and Charlotte. Xingqui and Charlotte provide just enough healing and defence to be able to survive the insane incoming damage. But Charlotte needs to have a huge amount of ER to burst on cooldown. Other than lack of grouping this team shreds the abyss like a charm. Was able to 36 star the abyss with a hu Tao, yelan, fischl and Noelle team on the other side
The Furina, Xingqiu, and Charlotte trio is so effective that you can choose just about any reaction on-fielder to run with them and expect good results. Right now I'm running Hu Tao, and the team absolutely slaps.
I've had Ayaka since she came out and I think this video is great. Can't think of much to add. Shenhe feels better with C1 but doesn't need it. Ayaka's only good con is C4 but doesn't need it. If it's raining, she is unstoppable. Barbra is great because her E moves with you until it gets you frozen. Diona gives a ton of cryo particles.
Newer player - Plan is to pull Ayaka and Mistsplitter and build my two teams. Team 1: Ayaka, Furina, Kazuha, Charlotte. Team 2: Ayato, Qingqiu, then either Xingliang Bennet or Nahida Kuki (when Nahida runs) Any thoughts or advice would be cool. Thanks
Ayaya! Ayaya! Anyways really happy you made this video. She's my first limited 5-star and the first character that I paid money to get, and the thing I love about her the most is her armor. She has actually protective armor unlike most of Genshin's characters. I also pulled for Mistsplitter during the same banner which got me very far in Genshin before I benched her 2 months ago. Had made some horrible artifacts and pulling decisions and now wanting to rebuild her. Also for the Sucrose team, why not apply cryo with Ayaka's sprint, swirl cryo, then do the rest of the rotation and swirling cryo again when Ayaka's using her burst to apply the resistance reduction again?
I'll play my upcoming Ayaka probably with Kaeya and Barbara (or Diona and Xinqui) and Kazuha for now [both my favorite male+female character on one team, finally, yay! Saving is worth it!]. Don't own Kokomi or Shenhe. I am not even sure if I want Shenhe at all and Barb fullfills an F2P Kokomi role with less hydro apllication, but it's fine for me for now so I can focus on getting other characters I like more.
i have her with 33% crit rate, and I’m hoping to get mona c4 one day lol. My spyral abyss ayaka team is shenhe, kazuha, mona, ayaka. Don’t need a healer👍 (its acctually quite confortable cuz of freeze reaction)
I still remember the Genshin YT community treating Shenhe like Kokomi and Kazuha before. Meanwhile I was thinking, she should work with my Ayaka team. And ever since my Ayaka team is complete. Shenhe C1, Fav lance, ATK/Crit 2x2piece sets Kokomi C0, Dragontails, Noblesse Kazuha C0, Xiphos, Venerer Ayaka C3, R2, Blizzard strayer It is still one of my strongest teams.
I already have her weapon and somewhat tempted to get Ayaka but I want Arlechino. The only reason I started thinking about her is because I was bored and triple crowned Aloy with some crazy blizzard strayer set pieces.
I've had Ayaka since her first banner, and got Shenhe and Kokomi last year. So, I have been missing one component to her best team this whole time...but I did get Furina AND C6 Charlotte lmao. Sooo, yea I have been playing around with that squad also. I love using Venti with Ayaka when the enemies are Venti-able lol.
Great video! Disagree about vertically investing with Ayaka not helping your account. Her c4 shreds Def for anyone so that's good. I've got c6 r5 use her all the time in lots of different teams.
wait so "why did cryo just got better"? no new changes to the element. Wriothesley doesnt really change the meta. is it because of furina+charlotte combo? (but this combo is barely covered, so probably not) you really just discussed past existing teams XD "I still like the premium team (Kazuha, Shenhe, Ayaya, Komi chan) the best."... so old team is still best? so WHAT GOT BETTER??
I agree with you that the "CRYO got better" is a bit misleading since it's basically that most every hypercarry got better with Furina. But I disagree that he barely covered the Furina+Charlotte combo. I don't know how he could have spent more time on it--he was already redundant in how often he showed those two and talked about that team.
Okay i usually find myself agreeing with you but this is not one of those times. When a characters needs 3 other S-tier units (Kazuha/Furina/Bennet) to work well/to try to compete with the best teams in the game then they should not be A-tier. if you dont use those top tier units and either Shenhe or mistsplitter you end up with an extremely scuffed team. Her element is the 2nd worst in the game and she is not the best option to drive hyperfridge. Other dedicated on field main dps (like Alhaitham, Hu tao, Neuvillete) have way more teams that use only 4 stars or another 5 star that are actually top tier. Right now she is like a slightly more powerful Itto. I really like her as a character, love her design but a good pull she is not.
@@shinobu1886 ??? who tf are you going to play with her? you need an aoe hydro character (which there are none as 4 stars since xinqqui application is mostly single target) an anemo grouper which for 4 star is only sucrose (she is good but her cc is not that consistent and her em sharing passive is useless in freeze) and a cryo battery ( here kaeya and rosaria are good). this is massive cope. At the very least you need either kokomi or mona to make her feel good to play. Also her sword gives you about 25% more damage then her best 4 star option
@@shaia6583 More misinformation. Ayaka, Barbara, Rosaria & Sucrose do just fine, all I used for months. Even now I often use Layla if I want comfort instead.
@@shinobu1886 I don't think you know what "misinformation" means and i would never believe you if said that you ever 36 star the abyss with that abomination. If you were a good enough player to do that you would recognize how absolutely unhinged what your saying is. Tell me what have i said that is not correct? Do you think that the em from sucrose is doing anything for freeze? How the fuck are you swirling both hydro and cryo with the 1 au every 2.5 seconds of hydro application with Barbara's E off-field? How much dmg do Barbara and Sucrose contribute ? how are you not getting staggered like crazy with 0 interruption resistance during your setup? Let me give you the answers: 1 Em does nothing for freeze 2 You are not doing it since your rotation would be either be Rosaria q-e Barbara e then Sucrose anything or Barbara e Sucrose q-e (so you could MAYBE get the hydro infusion) Rosaria q-e and then Ayaka. In the first case you would not be swirling hydro since the application will be consumed by the freeze from Rosaria before you can swirl it (so you don't get the hydro absortion in Sucrose's Q). In the second one you might almost be able to do it but you won't get it for Rosaria and you also don't get TTDS buff on Ayaka. 3 I would wager 1% of the total damage per rotation 4 You would absolutely get knocked around like shit since; to apply hydro with Barbara e you need to be right next to the enemies, same with Rosaria e (that can be canceled by the slighest knowback). The only thing that helps you here are the i-frames. I think this "freeze" team might be one of the worst possible team for Ayaka. It is far behind in terms of dmg, comfort, single target and aoe then any national teams, hypercarries like Lyney, Wanderer, Eula (where their best team are all composed of 4 stars), dendro teams, vaporize etc. And guess what? you can still love Ayaka, as well as Barbara and the other waifus. You can play that in the overworld and have good mobility with Ayaka dash and Rosaria's passive. You (well not really YOU) could 36 star the abyss with that team (or any other or just with 2 characters). But you can't say its either meta or optimal. Also, here some material that might help you: library.keqingmains.com/ , www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/ , www.wikihow.com/Admit-Mistakes .
@@shaia6583 there's lynette now, who i think is better than sucrose for Ayaya but her grouping is still kind of bad. and even if you get Kokomi and Kazuha.they could be used in way more teams than freeze or mono cryo. Barbara just feels slow for freeze. that i prefer using xingqiu with her instead since rotations getting close and weaving normals just hurt it.
They somehow made freeze unplayable bc even with dendro morgana team is insane, that's why we don't have 1 wave of a lot of mobs (even something like 3 mirror maidens or more). I'm not sure but maybe even burgeon would be better if this happens
I personally dont use her that much anymore since i achieve much higher damage and consistency with characters like Neuvillette, hutao, alhaitham, lyney, etc. But i still love Ayaka's design. Ayaka is still one of my favorite characters because she forces you to obtain game knowledge like good positioning, attack animations and tighter skill rotations. She's an excellent dps who rewards those who take the time to learn the various combat mechanics. Plus her burst is just really satisfying to land.
The ER needs depends on the player but personally i'd run 120% er on ayaka and then xiphos moonlight on kazuha to cover the extra need for er and atleast for me it was very easy to get high er on kazuha so never felt the need for favonius. Also for attack i would aim for atleast 2.1k with 45 cr and around 260%+ cd. Then if continuing to build from there i'd try to increase the atk since the critdamage start to feel less valuable compared to the attack gained.
I agree with pretty much everything, but was very surprised when you compared her to Cocogoat. They are both my most liked characters and i can say, Ayaka can not hold a candle to Melt Cocogoat damage. Not in DPS not in case of convenience. Cocogoat completely unique character. She is easiest to use by far. She do not need burst or skill or ER. I love Ayaka, but Cocogoat reaps through abyss much more efficiently.
I don’t think that’s optimal? You can just give her teammates Fav; since all of them are supports. Your idea can be good if you play her in melt team; since she got a lot of ER% requirements.
@@shonenhikada9254 i have better teams, other teams are more fun, bosses dont get frozen so the kit is not that useful, kazuha here is a pain to get particles
Ayaka is such a trap pull, she feels terrible without her premium team and mist splitter. I mean it's still serviceable but other DPS could do better with lesser investment. The long cd and short duration on her burst means that if you can't 1 rotate the enemies, it really prolong the fight, not to mention too many ticks on her burst, that require a high crit rate to ensure sufficient dmg
@ashenzenden saying she's garbage is mad, she's still just alright without the premium factor but not as bad as someone like dehya without cons. And for people who don't care about abyss and stuff she's still a fun unit for overworld content. Agree with the neuvillette part tho, he's a much better value pull than her
