Ayaka's Elemental Skill, Kamisato Art: Hyouka, deals AoE Cryo DMG by summoning blooming ice to launch nearby opponents. The ability not only comes in handy while triggering elemental reactions like Melt, Frozen, and Superconduct, but it also helps players stay afloat in water bodies to preserve stamina while crossing rivers, ponds, and other things.

Meanwhile, Ayaka's Elemental Burst, Kamisato Art: Soumetsu, summons forth a snowstorm with flawless poise, unleashing a Frostflake Seki no To that moves forward continuously. The ability deals Cryo DMG to enemies that come in contact with the "Frostflake Seki no To" and AoE Cryo DMG when its duration ends.

Kamisato Ayaka Constellations

Here are all six constellations of Kamisato Ayaka that you can unlock using her Stella Fortuna that you obtain when you get a copy of Ayaka while performing wishes on her Character Event Wish banner, Frostflake Heron.

• Snowswept Sakura (C1) - When Kamisato Ayaka's Normal or Charged Attacks deal Cryo DMG to opponents, it has a 50% chance of decreasing the CD of Kamisato Art: Hyouka by 0.3s. This effect can occur once every 0.1s.

• Blizzard Blade Seki no To (C2) - When casting Kamisato Art: Soumetsu, unleashes 2 smaller additional Frostflake Seki no To, each dealing 20% of the original storm's DMG.

• Frostbloom Kamifubuki (C3) - Increases the Level of Kamisato Art: Soumetsu by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15.

• Dance of Suigetsu    (C6) - Kamisato Ayaka gains Usurahi Butou every 10s, increasing her Charged Attack DMG by 298%. This buff will be cleared 0.5s after Ayaka's Charged ATK hits an opponent, after which the timer for this ability will restart.

Should You Go For Kamisato Ayaka's Constellations?

Yes! Kamisato Ayaka's constellations are worth spending Primogems on. Especially her C2 constellation called Blizzard Blade Seki no To. It adds two more Frostflake Seki no To expanding the area of effect of Ayaka's Elemental Burst, Kamisato Art: Soumetsu.

So, if you have some extra Primogems, we recommend you to at least go for Ayaka's C2 constellation.

Best Weapon for Kamisato Ayaka

The best weapon for Kamisato Ayaka is the Mistsplitter Reforged, a five-star sword with CRIT DMG as the secondary stat. On base refinement, the Mistsplitter Reforged's weapon skill called Mistsplitter's Edge gives players a 12% Elemental DMG bonus for all elements while giving the might of the Mistsplitter's Emblem.

At stack levels 1/2/3, Mistsplitter's Emblem provides an 8/16/28% Elemental DMG bonus for the character's Elemental Type. That is up to a 28% Elemental DMG bonus for your party. There are more buffs that players can obtain by using the Mistsplitter Reforged sword. But, since it is a five-star weapon, not every player can afford it.

There are some cheap and free-to-play options like the Black Sword, whose secondary stat increases the CRIT Rate DMG, and the weapon skill increases DMG dealt by Normal and Charged Attacks by 20% while healing the wielder based on 60% of the user's ATK.

You can also use the free-to-get sword, Amenoma Kageuchi, whose secondary stat increases the wielder's ATK%. Meanwhile, the weapon skill regenerates energy depending on the Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst usage.

• 4-Piece Bonus - When a character attacks an opponent affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the opponent is Frozen, the CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 20%
