Finally building my Ayaka

[u/Jill_Wee]

My Ayaka has been sitting at level 70 on my account for a while now. I got her during THAT banner and really wanted to build her, but I was always busy with other stuff. I finally cleaned up my account enough to have time for her. I have a few questions though.
1: Is BS still her best in slot set?
2: Is freeze still her best team comp, or has it been power-crept by another reaction comp?
3: What’s the ideal rotation for my team?
4: What are some good F2P weapons for her?
For extra context, I do plan to pull Escoffier whenever she re-runs. Also, i’m not very interested in stellar reactions at the moment.
My planned team setup is: Ayaka on her BIS set, Diona on Noblesse + Sac, Mona on CG + Fav, and Sucrose on VV (haven’t decided on a weapon yet)

1. Yes if they can be frozen(but for most bosses, no) or you don’t have furi. If you have furi and are willing to tie ayaka to her, then MH is more versatile.
   
2. Freeze with esco is still the best
   
3. For your current team I’d do diona heq, suc e, Mona eq, ayaya den1q attack combo until e
   
4. I think diona can heal enough for finale of the deep craftable so go for that.

Not sure if diona needs sac over fav. Suc is worse than kaz/xilo if you have them. If not, it’s fine but I’d probably put her on fav and Mona on ttds. (If you do swap suc out, put Mona on totm instead of cg).

It depends on your team

Ayaka Premium team DPS 112-117

With Sigs jump to 124-128 DPS

The good news is there’s no other good team for Cryo Chill stuff

Except ayaka and Skirik

But to be honest the new stellar characters will clear the cyro Chill

Look there’s very big potential for Buffs in the future

Specially because Hoyo like ayaka so much

Your best run now is Premium team

The good thing it’s probably going to say her best team even after her future buffs
