Kamisato Ayaka

Kamisato Ayaka is a burst-window Cryo DPS. Her Alternate Sprint coats her blade in Cryo for empowered charged attacks, and her Burst sends a sweeping snowstorm across the field for heavy AoE Cryo damage. She thrives in Freeze teams that lock enemies in place.

How to Play

Pair her with a Hydro applicator and an Anemo unit like Kaedehara Kazuha to Freeze and group enemies inside her Burst. She is a top Freeze carry on the Genshin tier list.
