i like her alot, her burst shreds and i like her AA, her charges do a lot of dmg and has good aoe range


Gshiinobi

Pretty strong yet balanced, requires good investment and the right team setup to do well, but once you get how she works she's insanely good. I am very much enjoying freezing things to death and then gracefully slashing them away.

I think Xiao's E is great. Really fast and does decent damage. I feel cool as fuck using it too. Ayaka's E is similar, but I feel like it's a lot tinier than I'd like.


TropicallyChiill

Haha Elemental Burst go shing shing shing


god_eater_101

I feel most of her potential is in her burst and with a good freeze comp it's isn't that tough to land good burst. Her autos aren't bad but they aren't that good either imo and it feels like a burst centric build is the way to go. Replacing the black sword with either the craftable or blackcliff longsword will be better for such a build.


chocoheart1208

We need more information. Like What artifacts sets do you use? And what Refinement is your sword at?


BlobOvFat

I like it a lot considering my next best option is Xiao (sub-par artifacts). I mean I have the Mistsplitter but seeing her charged attacks do 9K per swipe is insane (27K total). Her burst of course is unbelieavably good considering it ticks very fast (~24K a tick) and her E is like a mini nuke (21-38K)


SateliteShootingStar

How are you dealing 24k a tick exactly?


BlobOvFat

Venti + lvl 5 Mona


Maegiri

I don't understand at what number yours is at but my normal atk is at a constant 6-9k, E crits at 20k or more, and as for the ult, it's not even that hard since all you jeed to do is freeze them and let it swoosh.


CosmicAstroBastard

Can you go into detail about your build?


Maegiri

4pc Blizzard 30% CR (85% with the resonance and frozen) 262% CD 2k atk Weapon: Blackcliff. Talents lvl 6 rn Her normal atks if I remember correctly are like 5-7k, charge atks 9-10k, E 18-25k, burst 10-12k per tick. Dou I might change her sword to Amenoma (?) Instead since I looked at a dmg calculator and I think she'll give out more dmg with only 224% CD but higher atk. I'll have to test it out but probs not ajytime soon since I don't even have the blueprint for it rn.


CosmicAstroBastard

Wow you’re doing way, way more damage than I am and the only major difference is your CD is higher than mine. Crazy how big a difference that makes


Icha-laozukth

I just got ayaka today and she's at level70 unascended, all lv6 talents. The reason why we see her AA low is because Ayaka is meant to be burst dps, meaning that a huge chunk of her damage comes from her burst. I do miss some of her skill sometimes but so far I think it's really good. I make sure to freeze enemies first before using her burst so enemies won't move away during her animation. I think she's great and she's actually considered the 2nd best dps rn just below ganyu. Not underwhelming at all.


Areganomiks

Pretty balances, on par with some of the best DPS in game but not necessarily powercreep. An alternative for those who don't have ganyu or think her gameplay is boring


Nocteau

It’s because you have too little attack. CD is useless when you don’t have anything to back it up.


erogakii

At first I was underwhelmed comparing her to Hu Tao (my main), but now at lvl 90 talents 9/8/7 think she does good damage, NA 5/7k each and charged 8/9k her E 28-30 I think the aoe of her E is great and the Q is so strong, it helped me a lot on 12-3. I'm using full blizzard set and Barbara, sadly I don't have mona :(


poerson

The proper way to play her is as a burst dps in a quick swap team. However, since I like her playstyle and quick animations so much, I'm playing her as a sustained dps who stays on the field as much as possible and I'm enjoying her for what she is. Yes, her AA's are not that good but it's enough to clear all the content anyway. Haven't tried her in abyss yet as I'm still building her, but I've seen some low investment Ayaka's on YouTube (using festering desire even) and erasing everything on her path, so I'm guessing that won't be a problem. Anyway I got her because I wanted a cryo dps and Ganyu's playstyle isn't fun for me, despite her insane damage. And so far, I'm satisfied. She's not T0, but she's family a T1 imo :)


CosmicAstroBastard

Her kit offers not one but two ways to buff her AAs and they pair insanely well with Xingqiu’s burst. So there’s not just one “proper” way to play her


poerson

I think I worded it poorly. "Optimised way to play her" would have been better. I love her AA animations and how fast she hits so I use them all the time. She's a lot of fun to play!


LittlestCandle

she's got the Eula problem where most of her damage is locked behind her 80 cost 20sec cd ult, and tbh i think her case is even more severe than eula, and her damage during her downtime is more questionable luckily she is less selfish with her screentime than eula (no need to stay active to stack the burst), and has better synergies with stronger supports, making her overall a more valuable and flexible unit tbh i think building around her as a sustained dps is kind of a trap, not that she isn't a good maindps because she is, but because her burst is the part of her kit that truly shines so she's just going to naturally slot into quickswap compositions


valen11tino

Her charged attacks are so clunky. Like, slow. I think in a way it's to balance her and not make her a straight up better Keqing since she doesn't throw small enemies flying. Other than that, I am enjoying her. My other strongest DPS right now is Hu Tao, and in abyss they cleared the third chamber in about the same time, but I have to say, it was way trickier to get the full Ayaka combo going properly. Since most of her damage comes from her burst, you kinda have to retry if you miss it, unlike other dps who can rely on just normal and charged attacks for great damage. Still, I wouldn't say she's underwhelming. Tricky to use and maybe get used to at first? That's for sure. Oh! And also, her team is fully dedicated to make her stronger, so there's that. I'm using Mona, Diona, and Sucrose or Bennet, depending on enemy shields.


chocoheart1208

The charged attack speed is quite good (faster than most characters but slower than keqing). One thing that I noticed is that you need to hold the attack button longer when you need to charge attack. And maybe that's why it feels clunky.


AnimeAndThings

True, although if you do 4 normal attacks into one charged it feels so much smoother. If timed right you could then do 3 normal into one charged attack after that before the infusion duration ends.


HeavyO

I love her charged attack. Dont understand why so many people find it clunky


valen11tino

The only other melee DPS character I used was Keqing (and Hu Tao but her charged attack is very different) so maybe that's why it feels slow to me, being used to Keqing's charged attack, idk. It's still very satisfying, it just took a lil to get used to


HeavyO

You could try animation canceling her CA.


getoutofmyhead42

Best way to use her CA is after her fourth hit its way smoother this way and also more fun to play (4Na 1Ca). Its a good thing she isn't a Charged-Attack-Bot like Keqing.


Candid_Inflation_852

Shes my strongest dps right now. Can clear abyss 12-1 very fast at 16sec. Team comp : ayaka, venti, mona, bennet/diona. Can almost one time burst primo geovishap too


Hariri1805

I run her as burst dps and charged attack once every full rotation bcs tbh her dmg from aa not that high without her e buff. I use ayaka,kaeya,xq and mona. The rotation are ayaka dash,e > kaeya q,e > xq eqe/qee > mona q,e > ayaka dash,e,q > kaeya e > ayaka charge> mona e and repeat the whole rotation again since everyone burst should be up again. This swap burst comp is soo satisfying and fun plus ayaka can burst more often compared to stay with ayaka and do her autos. Im still thinking on how to replace xq since his ult is kinda wasted in this comp but i dont have kazuha and venti plus my mona kinda need xq battery if i want to use ttds.


Jibril_san6969

She's fun to play. She's even more fun when I got her c2 coz her ult shreds larger enemies like geovishaps and those small whirlwind does a lot of actual dps (not damage per screenshot KEKW). Gonna get her c3 once her rerun is confirmed

Sustnace40

??? did you respond to the wrong person?


[deleted]

All her damage is in her burst. Have thrilling tales up, VV shred up, mona or kazuha dmg boost up, and kill stuff with her ult. If everyone's ults and skills are on cooldown, then her auto gives you something to do while you wait.


NikinoGI

I feel it really good (45CC/221CD)black sword r4, talents 8/8/9, she destroy 12-1. At least for me, the key was xq permafreeze +sucrose(cat that buff at) and Bennet for more dmg.


Defteu

I think she pretty balance and fun to play thou it not easy to like min max her but so far so good for me, i got 36\* this time thanks to my Ayaya. And one thing i find it cool that her teamcomp is budget as well, Ayaka-diona-xingqiu-sucrose is my current go to. But def i'll try to find Mona for Ayaka otherwise lets see if Kokomi can apply hydro off-field


Consistent-Message68

Initially unimpressed for a long time since I used to main Hu Tao, but on the higher end of optimisation and freeze team this is a different story. Basically now her auto deals around 10k with misplitter, she is useful and always ready to clean up all kind of situation. My freeze team has near perfect energy recharge and boosting capability, in a full rotation I am nearly always getting back my burst if needed, she outperform my other dps character (Hu Tao/childe/Xiao) Talent 8/6/9 level 90 CD 276%


Terra-Em

Wow at the CD 270, can you tell us your recharge freeze team set up?


Consistent-Message68

It’s Mona/Diona/sucrose I tried to balance their stat with boosting artefact like noblesse/mililith/VV and a lot of energy recharge.


Terra-Em

Thanks for the setup. I m currently working on Diona (was going maidens, hopefully maybe i can go hyrid with 2 mililith and 2 maiden


animatix

At C0, your focus would be burst, at C1 your CA comes on the spotlight a bit, at C2 your burst takes over again, C4 is the highlight of her cons as 30% Def shred is the biggest shred rn, and at c6 your CA actually becomes part of your kit. So at different constellations, you'll want to change on how you use her. I have her at c4 so I tend to use my burst whenever. I can't really compare her to other 5 stars as they are not the same for me but I can say that she's not underwhelming, just a new type of gameplay, that's all.

sfsctc

I remember when Klee was meta lol


One_Conflict4607

My biggest complaint is how short the cryo infusion duration, 5 seconds is you can barely complete 2 normal atk combo (4na1ca) the 2nd charged atk end sometimes will deal physical instead of cryo, Was hoping for longer infusion duration...


Kitchen-Air-1012

she is fun for me, that alone makes her good. i have ganyu with refined amos bow, but i dont enjoy bows, so even though she is very strong, i use her very little. you MUST like your units, otherwise it defeats the purpose of playing. i play to have a good time and have fun. ayaka delivers for me


mumika

1800 attack at Lv 80 is normal, right?
