The daughter of the Yashiro Commission’s Kamisato Clan, Ayaka, is a Cryo main DPS inGenshin Impact. When it comes to building Freeze teams, Ayaka is one of the best characters to consider because of her ease of use and DPS. But that’s not only what Ayaka excels at; her high Cryo DMG allows her to join other team comps and perform well, which is what made her one of the best characters inGenshin Impactfor a long time.
Updated July 14, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah:Escoffier is here, and she’s an amazing character for Freeze teams in Genshin Impact. Her ability to shred enemies’ Cryo and Hydro resistance by up to 55% makes her an essential partner for Ayaka when building her with a full team of Hydro and Cryo users in Genshin Impact. With the addition of Escoffier and many other variables that affect Ayaka’s build and teams, here’s an updated list of thebest teams for Ayaka in Genshin Impact.
3Ayaka + Escoffier + Shenhe + Furina
While this Ayaka team comp has some AoE to it, it mostly works against single targets. The idea here is that Escoffier, Shenhe, and Furina maximize the DMG of Ayaka’s Elemental Burst while the team works together to keep the enemy Frozen.
Both Escoffier and Shenhe reduce enemies’ resistance to Cryo DMG by a whopping 70%, leaving the opponent with low resistance. On the other hand, Furina andShenhe greatly increase Ayaka’s Cryo DMG. All that will guarantee an insane amount of DMG every time Ayaka unleashes her Frostflake Seki no To.
Team Roles
2Ayaka + Kazuha + Shenhe + Kokomi
For a more AoE team for Ayaka inGenshin Impact,add Kokomi, who has a large off-field Hydro application. Make sure toinfuse Kazuha’s Elemental Burstwith Kokomi’s Hydro, and the duo will apply Hydro to the entire battlefield for a few seconds. Players can still trigger Cryo Swirls and collect scattered enemies in one place when using Kazuha’s Elemental Skill later.
With Kazuha doing most of the hard work, Shenhe doing the buffing, andKokomi spreading Hydro all over the field, Ayaka will enjoy having easy access to Frozen enemies who are waiting for her Elemental Burst to delete them.
1Ayaka + Shenhe + Nahida + Mavuika
Stepping away from theMorgana teams inGenshin Impact, Ayaka can deal massive DMG with her Elemental Burst if she has access to multiple Melt reactions. Players can do that by adding one Dendro and another Pyro character that can constantly trigger the Burning reaction. This reaction will keep regenerating the Pyro aura on enemies, no matter how many times Ayaka’s Elemental Burst consumes it. Not only that, but the quick Pyro and Cryo applications, back to back, will allow more Melt reactions to be triggered.
In this Ayaka team, she shouldn’t have the Blizzard set as her artifact choice. Instead, go for Emblem of Severed Fate or Gilded Dreams since there are noHydro units in the team to freeze enemies.
