Genshin Impact 3.5: Ayaka Talents, Constellations, Passives, Should You Pull
Cover-Credits:
Kamisato Ayaka is making her return to Genshin Impact as part of update 3.5. She will be joined by Shenhe on 22nd March and her banner will be available until 11th April, which is when the 3.6 update will drop. Here is a breakdown of the Cryo unit’s skills, constellations, and passives as well as a short section on whether you should pull for her.
Genshin Impact 3.5 Kamisato Ayaka: Should you pull for her?
Ayaka is one of the strongest Cryo DPS units in the game and she synergizes very well in Freeze teams. Even with 4-star units like Rosaria, Kaeya, Diona, Sucrose, and Xingqiu, she can perform very well in a budget Freeze team with no other 5-star units, and even outside of Freeze teams, her raw damage output is quite strong.
She is a solid unit and if you do not have Ganyu, and want to try out Freeze teams in Genshin, she might be worth going for. With premium units like Shenhe, Kokomi, Kazuha, and Venti, her Freeze teams get a lot more powerful and she is well worth your Primogems.
However, if you do not have the Primogems needed to pull for her, do not force yourself to spend money on Genesis Crystals to pull for her. Characters can cost money and you should spend your hard-earned cash wisely. If you already have her and want more Constellations, C2, and C3 are great to have but are absolutely not necessary.
