Between Ice and Snow, Waiting for Blossoms—The Legend of a Cryo Elemental Wielder
In this vast land of Teyvat, blanketed by ice and snow, she waits quietly for her moment to shine. Her name is Ayuka, a Cryo elementalist wielding a long-handled weapon. Like a gentle breeze in the harsh winter, she doesn’t need the spotlight to shine; instead, she illuminates the team in her own unique way. Her Elemental Skill is like a cold current in winter, gradually wearing down the enemy’s resistance, while her Elemental Burst is like a warm soup by the stove, bringing hope to her teammates.
As a sub-DPS, Ayuka is a rear-line supporter who doesn’t crave the spotlight but brings a refreshing energy to the entire team. When paired with Ice and Water element characters, she silently lowers the enemy’s resistance, a subtle yet profound change, like the sharp edge of an ice blade in the cold winter.
Among her talents, her Elemental Skill, “Cryogenic Cooking,” is the top priority for leveling up. It not only deals direct damage but also creates a better combat environment for the entire team. Her Elemental Burst, “Floral Blade Technique,” follows closely, healing teammates while giving the team the strength to survive the cold. As for her Normal Attack, “Culinary Skill,” it can be upgraded last, as it is the least important part of her overall output.
When it comes to weapons, Ayuka is best suited for those that maximize her damage output. “Melody of Fragrance” is the optimal choice, as it not only increases her critical damage but also provides an additional attack boost to the team when healing. This weapon is like an icy symphony, bringing life to the cold. If you don’t have access to this weapon, “Protector’s Staff” is a decent alternative. It increases her attack based on her max HP, making it especially valuable when she needs more survivability.
For artifact sets, the choice depends on the team’s overall composition. “Violet Grass” is the best option for maximizing personal damage, enhancing her Elemental Skill damage like a sharp sword in the cold. “Arctic Oath” and “Former Glory of the Aristocracy” are better for team synergy, providing more comprehensive support. For newcomers, “Ice Wind’s Courage” and “Gladiator’s Finale” are safer choices.
In terms of team composition, Ayuka shines in Ice-elemental centered teams. She pairs well with characters like Kamisato Ayaka, Xingqiu, Fischl, and Layla. Together, they create a perfectly choreographed ice ballet on the battlefield. She also plays a crucial role in Water-elemental teams, teaming up with characters like Nilou and Kamisato Ayato, forming a symphony of winter.
On this snow-covered land, Ayuka is like a warm light in the cold. She doesn’t need to be the brightest star, but her presence gives the team hope in the freezing world. Her story is waiting to be written—will you invite her to join your team?
