In the past few weeks, Genshin Impact has received several updates, each of which has been quite big, to say the least. miHoYo has no plans to shift from its six-week update schedule, and a pretty long roadmap is all set for the game.

Ayaka is one of the upcoming characters in the game, and here is all you need to know about the best build, and ascension materials of Ayaka.

Genshin Impact Ayaka Best Build & Ascension Materials

As the release of the character draws closer, many players are wondering about the best build for the character. For players looking for a Cryo DPS Build, the best weapon is none other than Mistsplitter Reforged, which is the latest weapon that has been added in the game as part of the 2.0 Update.

Along with that, Blizzard Strayer is the preferred artifact if you want to play Ayaka. With the 2-piece set, Ayaka gets a Cryo DMG Bonus of 15%. Likewise, the 4-piece set, increases the CRIT Rate by 20%, with an additional 20% bonus if the opponent is frozen.

Good alternatives for weapons include Primordial Jade Cutter, Blackcliff Longsword, The Black Sword, and Amenoma Kageuchi. For artifacts, you can use Gladiator's Finale.
