Ayaka's Talents:

Normal Attack: [Kamisato Art - Naname]

Like all other characters, Ayaka will have Normal Attack, Charged Attack, and Plunge Attack.

Normal Attack: Ayaka will perform up to 5 quick strikes.

Charged Attack: To unleash a charged attack, Ayaka needs to consume a certain amount of Stamina. Then, she will release a continuous torrent of swords onto her enemies.

Plunging Attack: From a high ground, Ayaka will plunge from mid-air to the ground below, hitting opponents in its course and delivering AoE DMG when it hits.

Elemental Skill: [Kamisato Art: Hyouka]

Ayaka will summon blooming ice and launch it to nearby enemies shortly after. This skill will deal Cryo damage.

Alternate Sprint: [Kamisato Art: Senho]

One of Ayaka's special attributes is similar to Mona's alternate sprint.

Ayaka depletes her stamina and becomes engulfed in a cold fog that follows her around. She travels quickly on the water in Senho form. The following things happen when she reappears:

1) She will inflict Cryo on nearby enemies by unleashing frigid energies.

2) For a brief moment, frost coagulates around Ayaka's sword, infusing her attacks with Cryo.

Elemental Burst: [Kamisato Art: Soumetsu]

Ayaka accumulates frost to create a whirlpool of frosty winds (Souken Gates) that slice repeatedly at any opponent it comes into contact with, causing Cryo damage. Over time, the icy whirlpools will burst, delivering AoE Cryo damage to nearby enemies over a large radius.

Ayaka's Constellations:

C1: Sousai Sumizome Sakura

When Kamisato Ayaka's normal attacks deal Cryo damage to opponents, it has a 50% chance of reducing Elemental Skill [Kamisato Art: Hyouka]'s CD by 0.3 seconds. This effect can happen once every 0.1 seconds.

C2: Mie Yuki no Seki no To

When Elemental Burst [Kamisato Art: Soumetsu] is cast, it summons another two small whirlpools, each dealing 20% of the big whirlpool's damage.

Ayaka's Ascension Stats:

Kamisato Ayaka's ascension stats fall to Crit DMG. This would massively improve her main DPS potential.

Base Crit DMG at level 1 = 50%.

Max Crit DMG at level 90 = 88.4%.

Based on this information, Ayaka has the potential to be a Cryo DPS, as her skills will constantly infuse her attack into Cryo damage.

Crit DMG is one of the crucial attributes besides Crit Rate. Crit DMG measures how much bonus DMG a character deals when they get a Crit Hit. Higher Crit DMG percentages mean more bonus DMG output.

Besides the Crit DMG bonus, at the moment, Ayaka's base ATK at level 90 is higher than any other sword user. This will help her to deal even more damage to enemies.
