Should you pull for Ayaka in Genshin Impact 2.6 update?
Kamisato Ayaka is an Inazuman character who having immensely powerful swordsmanship skills, can also become a great Cryo user while in actual combat against strong enemies. However, it is worth to note that the game’s meta is continuously changing which makes some characters less valuable.
Reasons to pull
After Ganyu, Ayaka is the strongest Cryo user in the game even in the Genshin Impact 2.6 update. Keeping aside the element, she is still quite strong and powerful. Her main damage comes from her Elemental Burst that brings a windstorm and provides consistent Cryo DMG to the enemies alongside controlling them. If players are considering to make a powerful freeze team, then Ayaka is the only one who can add value to the team.
What makes her more valuable is that she is a F2P friendly character which means she can be powerful with 4-star weapons as well. Regarding constellations, she is enough strong at C0 that others are quite not needed.
Reasons to skip
In Genshin Impact 2.6 update, Ayaka isn’t much useful if players do not own strong sub DPS Cryo characters as she is not a good option for vaporize teams or reverse melt teams. In addition to that, she does not have much Cryo off-field damage unlike other characters like Qiqi who can heal teammates as well.
Ayaka has a powerful elemental burst damage but it hits the targets in a straight way which means if players do not aim properly, they might lose out a significant amount of damage.
Overall verdict
Ayaka in Genshin Impact 2.6 update is still very much valuable and of course worth the primogems earned by the players. If you weigh the pros and cons of the Cryo character, players will certainly be able to see that her powerful skills almost make her drawbacks negligible which means she is quite a good pick in your team. If players wish to make a strong Cryo team, then Ayaka is a must pull.
