The Mistsplitter Reforged is almost perfectly crafted for Ayaka as it provides both Crit DMG as its substat, and a powerful passive ability that gives these bonuses:

• Mistsplitter's Sheath: Acquire a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus for each element and garner the might of Mistsplitter's Seal. At stack levels 1/2/3, Mistsplitter's Seal gives a 8/16/28% Elemental DMG Bonus for the character's Elemental Type. Stacks can be acquired through Normal Attacks inflicting Elemental DMG, casting an Elemental Burst, or possessing less than 100% Energy.

These effects synergize incredibly well with Ayaka, allowing her to deal massive Cryo damage to her enemies. Players will definitely want to pick up this weapon if they have the Primogems to spare.

4-star weapons:

It's not the best but this is what I've prepared for Ayaka, plus the Blackcliff Longsword. Might need more ER but we'll see. 😓 #GenshinImpact #原神 #Ayaka pic.twitter.com/G8VTpvTHF6

Players have several options for 4-star weapons, but the Blackcliff Longsword and the Black Sword provide some of the best options. The Blackcliff Longsword will provide players with some extra Crit DMG, while the Black Sword will give them a higher Crit Rate alongside the 20% bonus Normal and Charged ATK DMG.

It's up to the players to decide which stat they need to focus on more.

Best Artifacts for Ayaka:

One of Ayaka's current best sets is the Blizzard Strayer set, as it provides her with extra Cryo Damage on the 2-PC bonus, and an incredible 4-PC bonus that can grant her a ton of extra Crit Rate.

Ayaka will have an easy time critting with the 4-piece Blizzard Strayer set as it can increase her Crit Rate by up to 40%, which is bolstered even further with Cryo Resonance.

Here are the following new artifacts + effects in Version 2.0They are Emblem of Severed Fate Sets and Shimenawa's Reminiscence Sets#GenshinImpact pic.twitter.com/Ssjzzu9rEV

Players have also speculated that the Shimenawa's Reminiscence set will be powerful on Ayaka as she will focus on dealing most of her damage through her Normal and Charged Attacks.

This set may provide even more damage than a focus on Cryo, so players will need to test this out for themselves once Genshin Impact 2.0 launches.
