Top 8 Best Weapons For Ayaka In Genshin Impact 2022

Kamisato Ayaka is a 5 Star Cryo Sword user in Genshin Impact. Being Cryo, she is one of the best DPS characters in the game, who can gain a huge crit rate boost without relying too much on artifacts and weapons. Players need to keep that in mind when picking a sword for her. In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the top 10 best weapons for Ayaka in Genshin Impact 2022.

Best weapons for Ayaka: 5-Star

Mistsplitter Reforged

• Gain a 12 - 24% Elemental DMG Bonus for every element and the ability to gain Mistsplitter's Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, Mistsplitter's Emblem provides an 8/16/28% - 16/32/56% Elemental DMG Bonus for the character's Elemental Type.

Ayaka was released alongside the Mistsplitter Reforged, therefore, it is her current best weapon. The reason it is the top sword for Ayaka is its secondary stat of Crit DMG - Ayaka can definitely make use of that due to her naturally high crit rate.

Furthermore, as Ayaka usually uses all her kits while fighting, gaining charges from Mistsplitter's Edge is actually pretty easy. With the maximum charge, Ayaka can dish out a dizzying amount of Elemental DMG.

Summit Shaper

• Increases Shield Strength by 20 - 40%. Scoring hits on opponents increases ATK by 4 - 8% for 8s. Max 5 stacks. Can only occur once every 0.3s. While protected by a shield, the ATK increase effect is increased by 100%.

The Summit Shaper is not that strong on Ayaka - it is just a stat stick that gives her more ATK%.

However, the broken part about Summit Shaper is that its attack boost effect gets doubled if your character is protected by a shield, which boosts it to 80%, an absurd number. As Ayaka cannot create a shield by herself, using the Summit Shaper requires players to run shield supports like Diona, Zhongli or Noelle.

Primordial Jade Cutter

• HP increased by 20 - 40%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 1.2 - 2.4% of the wielder's Max HP.

The Primordial Jade Cutter works similarly to the Staff of Homa, with a passive that increases HP and another passive that increases damage based on HP levels. Ayaka doesn't really need the extra crit rate, however.

Overall, this is just a stat stick that players can use if they don't have the first 2 weapons.

Aquila Favonia

• Increases ATK by 20 - 40%. Upon taking damage, trigger an effect that regenerates HP equal to 100 - 160% of ATK and deals 200 - 320% of ATK as DMG to surrounding enemies. Cooldown 15s.

The Aquila Favonia's secondary stat of Physical DMG is wasted on Ayaka, as she mainly deals Cryo damage. However, as the ATK bonus and base damage of the weapon is still pretty high, its value as a stat stick on Ayaka is a bit higher than a 4 star weapon.

Freedom-Sworn

• Increases DMG by 10 - 20%. When characters with Freedom-Sworn trigger Elemental Reactions, they gain a Sigil of Rebellion (once every 0.5s). This effect triggers even if you switch the character out.
• When you reach 2 sigils, the stack will be consumed to give all nearby party members +20 - 32% ATK and +16 - 40% DMG for all normal attacks for 12s. This effect has a 20s CD.

Freedom-Sworn is the worst 5 star weapon to use on Ayaka. Overall, it is a weapon geared toward support and sub DPS characters, which Ayaka is anything but. Its secondary stat, Elemental Mastery, is also pretty useless on her.

Best weapons for Ayaka: 4-Star

Blackcliff Longsword

• After defeating an opponent, ATK is increased by 12% for 30s. This effect has a maximum of 3 stacks, and the duration of each stack is independent of the others.

While the skill of Blackcliff Longsword is not that good, its secondary stat of Crit damage is excellent on Ayaka. With the right build, the weapon can yield more damage than some of the 5 star weapons.

When facing big bosses without any minions, the skill of Blackcliff Longsword is pretty much useless.

The Black Sword

• Increases DMG dealt by Normal and Charged Attacks by 20%. Additionally, regenerates 60% of ATK as HP when Normal and Charged Attacks score a CRIT Hit. This effect can occur once every 5s.

The second best 4 star sword for Ayaka. It is a solid crit weapon that provides her with a huge crit rate boost. This allows Ayaka to use a different artifact set such as Noblesse Oblige to get more Burst damage.

The skill allows Ayaka to heal herself up, eliminating the need of running a healer.

Amenoma Kageuchi

• After casting an Elemental Skill, gain 1 Succession Seed. This effect can be triggered once every 5s. The Succession Seed lasts for 30s. Up to 3 Succession Seeds may exist simultaneously. After using an Elemental Burst, all Succession Seeds are consumed and after 2s, the character regenerates 6 Energy for each seed consumed.

Overall, Amenoma Kageuchi is the best F2P option for Ayaka. While it has a low base attack, the Amenoma Kageuchi has a high attack substat. Its passive skill allows Ayaka to regain up to 24 energy after casting her elemental burst. This increases Ayaka's uptime and allow her to be more consistent.
