Inazuma is now available on Genshin Impact and with this new region, the daughter of Clan Kamisato also arrives. Thus, Ayaka the new Cryo swordswoman, comes to support your ranks. Her abilities will be useful to you in combat but also out of combat since, like Mona, she has a special dash that allows her to move quickly in water. Upon exiting the Frost Path state, she can also release Cryo energy that can freeze water, creating a small ice platform. That's not all since it can affect your enemies by affecting them with the Cryo element.
Her dash will therefore be a very important tool in your way of playing her. She also has a Cryo element infusion for a few seconds when she comes out of this state. Maybe you will have understood it, but Ayaka is a character who is based on the Cryo element and who inflicts damage of this element on her elemental skill as well as her burst. It will therefore be preferable to play Ayaka with other Cryo characters to have the resonance, but also with Hydro characters if you play her with the Icebreaker 4-piece set. You will be able to freeze your targets and have a crit rate bonus in addition to having a Cryo damage bonus.
Ayaka, a Cryo DPS that combines agility and dexterity
To sum up, Ayaka is a character who can be used as a Cryo DPS but who needs to be rather mobile to be able to chain between attack and dash so as not to lose the infusion or the bonuses offered thanks to his passive. Besides that, Ayaka can double your syntheses for you if you craft weapon elevation materials with a 10% chance. It's not necessarily the most interesting, but there is still a passive that can be useful for crafting.

To play alongside:
Mona is a character that allows you to easily place the Hydro element on her enemies with her basic attacks but also her burst and her elemental skill. She can therefore allow in switch with Ayaka to freeze your opponents.
Diona will be a very good support for Ayaka by allowing her to quickly recharge her energy but also to heal her. On top of that, she's also Cryo, so you can have the resonance of that element as well.
Kazuha is an Anemo character but has the particularity of boosting the elemental damage of an element with which he reacts. The goal of playing him on this team is to boost Cryo damage as much as possible following a scatter.
Of course, these characters are only examples and do not constitute all the playable characters with Ayaka but just a small representation of what you can do. Your imagination will allow you to create your own teams and test according to your preferences.
