Notes

Kamisato Ayaka is a pretty straightforward DPS that deals most of her damage from her Burst. She has very high scalings on her Burst at the cost of it being 80 energy. You will likely need another Cryo battery on the team to provide energy for her (Diona, Kaeya, Rosaria, etc). She has a special dash (like Mona) and after she dashes, she will get a Cryo infusion on her Normal Attacks. Ensure you always have this bonus active to maximise your rotation damage.

Kamisato Ayaka's Charged Attack, Skill and Burst is able to hit enemies sucked inside Venti's Burst.

Her Burst also stays in place on frozen enemies and slightly knocks enemies away when they're not frozen.

Regarding Weapon Choices:

Primordial Jade Cutter: With (4) and Cryo Resonance, this weapon overcrits, so try to avoid getting CRIT Rate substats.

Finale of the Deep: Weapon rankings are assuming you clear the Bond of Life. If you cannot clear the Bond of Life, it performs similarly to .

Aquila Favonia: While it has Physical DMG as a main stat, which is basically useless on Kamisato Ayaka, it is still a good statstick as it has a high base ATK and ATK% buff from the passive, however, it's not a huge upgrade over the other 4 star options and there might be a character which can utilize this weapon better (such as Bennett).

Skyward Blade: The Energy Recharge main stat provided from this sword makes Kamisato Ayaka comfortable in terms of having a good Burst uptime, try to avoid getting Energy Recharge substats since the weapon already provides you with enough Energy Recharge.

Amenoma Kageuchi: Lowers Kamisato Ayaka's Energy Recharge requirement which allows her to allocate some of her Energy Recharge substats to other offensive substats.

Harbinger of Dawn: A good Crit statstick if you can keep the requirements up (having >90% Flat HP).

Regarding Artifact Choices:

Circlet main stat will be dependant on your overall stats, depending on your overall stats, one can be better than the other. Since Kamisato Ayaka is able to get a lot of Crit Value from (4) set, ascension passive, and also possibly weapons, ATK% circlets can be competitive to Crit ones, it also has a better drop rate, so don't throw away your good ATK% circlets.

Substats

CRIT Rate: Loses value here assuming you're running (4), if you're not using that artifact set, then it has the same priority as CRIT DMG (You still want to aim for 1:2 ratio in the end)
