Ayaka

Roles

Dashing infuses her Normal and Charged Attacks with Cryo and applies Cryo to surrounding enemies when Ayaka reappears after finishing her dash.
- A4 allows Ayaka to regain Stamina and receive a buff to her Cryo DMG if an enemy is hit by this effect.
Elemental Skill deals AoE Cryo DMG.
Elemental Burst creates a snowstorm that deals a huge amount of Cryo DMG over 5 seconds and slowly moves away from the character.
- The snowstorm will stop moving upon encountering large or Frozen enemies, resulting in that enemy potentially taking up to 20 hits from this ability.
Ayaka's primary source of damage is her Elemental Burst.

Charged Attack has an increased range over Ayaka's Normal Attacks.
C2 summons 2 additional smaller snowstorms that deal 20% of the original snowstorm's damage.
C4 reduces the DEF of enemies hit by her Elemental Burst by 30% for 6s.
Ayaka can technically be used in Melt teams as both a Burst DPS role whilst providing Off-Field Cryo application to the enemy for 5 seconds with her Elemental Burst.
- This is typically only done with very powerful teams and Oneshot setups since her Off-Field capabilities outside of those 5 seconds is nonexistent.

Often paired with either of these characters in order to create a Freeze team.
Freeze teams using Mona also often use Anemo characters that can infuse their Off-Field abilities with Hydro to help apply Hydro more often.

Diona is usually the healer of choice in Ayaka Freeze teams as she provides Cryo Resonance, acts as an Energy Battery, and can also provide shielding for the team.
When not using Diona as a healer, an additional Cryo character is normally used with Ayaka to provide Cryo Resonance in Freeze teams.

Anemo support characters work well with Ayaka by reducing the enemy's Elemental RES with Viridescent Venerer. Anemo characters often also supply useful Crowd Control abilities or other buffs.
Kazuha, Sucrose and Venti can additionally infuse their Elemental Bursts with Hydro or Cryo, helping provide those elements in a Freeze team.

Primarily only used for Ayaka Oneshot setups as Pyro can interfere with Freeze team compositions.

These characters can be paired with Ayaka in a Oneshot Melt team composition where Ayaka is used as Burst DPS and very short duration Off-Field DPS during her Elemental Burst.
Melt teams using Ayaka are almost always Oneshot team setups since Ayaka's Elemental Burst lasts only 5 seconds and can only be reasonably applied to large enemies in this composition.
Melt teams using Ayaka can struggle at putting out sustained DPS after Ayaka's Elemental Burst is entirely finished and on cooldown.

Despite being an Electro character, Raiden's Elemental Skill will not interrupt the Frozen Elemental Reaction. Additionally, Ayaka can also reduce her Energy Recharge requirements as Raiden will generate energy for Ayaka with her Elemental Burst.
Raiden is only viable in this team when Xingqiu is also present on the team.

Electro's Superconduct reaction with Cryo does not improve Ayaka's core team compositions.
There are superior Cryo supports to Ayaka to provide Superconduct for Physical teams.

Geo DMG shatters Frozen enemies making these characters not ideal in Freeze teams.
Geo can be used with Cryo if you do not intend to Freeze enemies.

Ayaka works as the On-Field DPS in Freeze teams and is the primary source of Cryo application.
Cryo Resonance is often included in Freeze teams to boost Ayaka's CRIT Rate.

A team constructed purely to amplify Ayaka's Elemental Burst DMG for the purposes of killing bosses or other enemies incredibly fast.

A Melt team that swaps to Yanfei after Ayaka uses her Elemental Burst in order to perform Charged Attacks on Yanfei that Melt for large amounts of damage.
Ayaka's Elemental Burst still does a very large amount of damage on this team.
