AYAKA BUILDS / STRATEGY
HP | ATK | ATK% | CRYO% | CD%/CR%
MAIN DPS: Ayaka should be built as a nuker if you want the most out of her. You want as much Cryo DMG, ATK, CR, and CD on her followed with EM.
SUB DPS: If you want her more as a crowd burst dps then focus on EM, Cryo DMG, ATK, CR, CD, and ER.
These are also general recommendations, you will need to alter your artifacts and stat builds based on what content you want to use this character for and what team you are using him/her with, however, these are consider among the best swords for Ayaka. A general rule for DPS units are CR is roughly 50% of your CD.
