Genshin Impact players have seen the rise of Kamisato Ayaka as a formidable Cryo character since her debut in version 2.0. With her powerful elemental abilities and swift swordplay, Ayaka has become a staple in many players' lineups. But like any other character, she needs the right weapon to shine. Let's take a look at the best weapons for Ayaka in Genshin Impact 4.3, considering both free-to-play and premium choices.
Top 5 Weapons for Ayaka in Genshin Impact 4.3
1. Mistsplitter Reforged (Best-in-Slot):
Base Attack: 674
Secondary Stats: 44.1% Crit DMG, 12% Elemental DMG bonus.
Passive: Generates stacks with normal and charged attacks, providing an Elemental DMG bonus to Ayaka's Elemental Burst.
The Mistsplitter Reforged stands as Ayaka's signature weapon, offering unparalleled damage potential. The combination of high base attack, Crit DMG, and Elemental DMG bonus makes it the ideal choice for players. Obtainable only through the weapon banner, this weapon is a must-have for dedicated Ayaka users.
2. Haran Geppaku Futsu:
Base Attack: 608
Secondary Stats: High Crit Rate sub-stat (33.1% at maximum level).
Passive: Boosts Elemental and Normal Attack DMG based on weapon refinement.
Haran Geppaku Futsu provides a significant Crit Rate sub-stat, making it an excellent choice for Ayaka. With bonuses to Elemental and Normal Attack DMG, this weapon synergizes well with Ayaka's playstyle. Especially when paired with other party members who can enhance her Elemental Skills.
3. Primordial Jade Cutter:
Base Attack: 542
Secondary Stats: 28.8% Crit Rate sub-stat.
Passive: Increases Crit Rate and provides bonus HP-based damage.
An upgraded version of the Black Sword, the Primordial Jade Cutter offers a large Crit Rate boost and bonus damage based on Ayaka's max HP. Players should remember this when gearing up artifacts to avoid excess Crit Rate.
4. Amenoma Kageuchi (Best Free-to-play Option):
Base Attack: 454
Secondary Stats: 55.1% ATK sub-stat
Passive: Generates Energy for Ayaka upon using her Elemental Skill and Burst.
Amenoma Kageuchi is a solid free-to-play option for Ayaka. Craftable in Inazuma, this sword may have a lower base attack, but it compensates with a high attack sub-stat. Its passive ability synergizes well with Ayaka's playstyle, providing a steady source of Energy to support her Elemental Burst usage.
5. Summit Shaper:
Base Attack: 608
Secondary Stats: 49.6% ATK sub-stat.
Passive: Enhances shield strength and grants a damage bonus upon shield absorption.
Summit Shaper is a niche option, requiring a dedicated shielder like Zhongli, Thoma, or Diona. The high ATK sub-stat and shield-focused passive make it a good choice for players who focus on consistent damage output.
