Subtitled the Frostflake Heron, Kamisato Ayaka is now available in Genshin Impact.
A sword wielder, she is aligned with the Cryo element. You'll want to play her as a pure DPS, as she can be very strong indeed.
You can only get Kamisato Ayaka from Wishes, as a five-star character.
The best weapons for Kamisato Ayaka in Genshin Impact
The best sword for Ayaka is hands-down the Mistsplitter Reforged. This weapon ramps up the Elemental DMG, and buffs her for a short amount of time.
Alternatively, The Black Sword is a decent four-star weapon that is easier to get, and regenerates HP when a CRIT lands.
