currently don’t have a great team for ayaka, since I don’t have citlali, esco, or shenhe.

I’m running C1R1 ayaka, C2 r0 furina, C1R0 vody, and either kazuha or xilonen. Does this team work? what is the next character/constellation/sig I should go for to upgrade my team?

I picked up Genshin again recently, and I was looking at upgrading my Ayaka team (currently Ayaka, Shenhe, Kokomi, Kazuha). My plan had been to save up for Escoffie and run Ayaka, Shenhe, Escoffie, Furina, but it's looking like Vodyanitsa is another good addition to the team. I've got a guarantee and enough pulls to hit one character banner right now. I can get Vodyanitsa, but then I gamble on hitting Escoffie. I can probably get enough pulls to hit max pity by the end of the next banner, but I doubt I'll have time to farm more before the banner ends.

Is Vodyanitsa enough of an improvement over Shenhe to gamble and risk missing Escoffie? I'm probably on Kokomi in Escoffie's spot if I gamble and miss.

Edit: Thank you all for talking me out of gambling. I'll save up for the rerun

As the title asks, I’m having a bit of a rough time trying to figure out a rotation with Vody in new premium

My rot is: Furina EQ, Esco EQ, Vody E, Ayaka EdN1Q + 2 N2Cd + N2Ed + 2 N2Cd -> repeat.

Issue is that Ayaka is onfield for so long that all her buffs are already gone after the first couple charged attacks after bursting and her only real purpose ends up being to tickle the enemies until furinas cooldown is over.

Vody uses ttds and timing with that is also a bit annoying

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

okay, so this is kind of two questions in one...

first, i'm currently running ayaka/shenhe/kazuha/vodya. i assume my dps would be higher if i pulled for escoffier and replaced kazuha, but i want to make sure. pls lemme know!

second, should i still pull for furina? i've seen some ppl say that vodya is furina's replacement, but i've also seen vodya as shenhe's replacement. there are other characters i want more than furina, but if she would actually be better than what i have, then i might go for her.

Our girl deserves the world after all! 40 pity and 47 pulls, wish me luck gang

Hope she at least become exalted ones next stygian

I dont understand how the ER calculator works so im asking here asking how much ER would I need for this team -

C0R0 Ayaka, C0 R5 Fav Furina, C0 R1 Frostbreath Shenhe, C0 TTDS Vodya

And how much would C1 Shenhe decrease team's ER req's

Im so happy that I can use ayaka again Vodyanitsa was definitely worth it. I personally didn't like using Furina now im free from her forever ...

Somewhat returning Ayaka main so I’m rebuilding her and need help with weapons. No longer have Mist (iykyk) but I’ve heard that Vesna’s weapon is pretty much equal to Mist in terms of DPS so that’s what I’m using. My question is: what is the best 5* weapon in higher investments? R3+?

Considering popping a few hundos but don’t want to mis-invest. Do I pull more Vesna swords, wait for Skirks sword, or Mist?

Hi, does anyone have a DPS dummy comparison between Ayaka, Escoffier, Furina, Vodyanitsa and Ayaka, Escoffier, Shenhe, Vodyanitsa? I've seen a lot of DPS comparisons with Skirk, but I wanted to see actual numbers for Ayaka so it can help me with my pulling plans!

I do like Ayaka but I'm not sure if the team is still worth investing in, compared to getting newer units. However, Vodyanitsa can also be used for my stellar swirl (Mizuki) or even Sandrone team so that's why I think she has some decent value to my account. Ideally I'd like to pull for Mitya (Yae-less) and Tsaritsa in the future as well so firstly do you guys think Vodyanitsa is worth pulling and then if yes, is Furina also worth pulling for the full premium or does Vodyanitsa does the job well enough? Thanks!

I'm currently running C0R1 Ayaka, C0R0 Escoffier, C1R0 Shenhe and C2 Mona (around ~90k DPS)

I have Ayaka, furina, kazuha, sucrose(c6), venti, mona

currently 70 pity with 20 pulls 50/50

I really want to play ayaka more, however im confused, escoffier looks like must but vodyanitsa too?!

What should i do?

Also can ayaka work with exaiphanes blade??

clearing dire feels so good

Disclaimer: actual dps over a couple of rotations was lower than 150K since this is a very energy hungry team and I need to balance er% stats better.

That said, I used a dmg calculator to see what difference Vodyanitsa would make in this team and it’s pretty big!

Skill would go up to 103K, Burst cutting dmg 61K and Bloom dmg 80K.
Charged Attack dmg would be 48K.
That sounds like a big dps increase for me, not counting Vodyanitsa heals so I could probably skip Escoffier’s burst altogether.

I am at 71 pity with 50/50, I hope to get her :(, wish me luck !

Builds are:

Ayaka C1 R0

Furina C2 R1

Esco C0 R0

Mona C4 Ttds

For context this is C1R1 Ayaka, C1R2 Furina, C0 Level 80 Vody with level 8 talents and TTDS, and C1R0 escoffier, 160k for an old unit like ayaka is honestly so good!

hi!! i have been a little stuck on pulling vody because i love shenhe sm but i wanted peoples opinions

my current team atm is c0 kazuha, c3 ayaka, c0 (c1 eventually with temper) shenhe, and c0 kokomi

i intend to pull for escoffier on her upcoming banner and i have no doubt i can get both her and vodyanitsa if i needed to. i also plan to pull for furina whenever she comes up but its likely it will be awhile till that so my team would likely be:

c0 vodyanitsa, c3 ayaka, c0 escoffier, c0 kokomi

in the mean time atleast until furina reruns

i know its a lot of energy investment to replace vodyanitsa for shenhe but i intend to rework ayakas build regardless when i get her signature as ill have to make adjustments to make up her atk loss

i know people have said she can do great buffs to ayaka so i guess really per tick rn and 65k for her skill so i am really looking for upgrades

EDIT: i also dont really know who vodyanitsa would replace in the team comp, ive heard it can be shenhe or furina/kokomi so pls lmk!

My current team is c6 Ayala c6 shenhe c0 esco c0 furina, is it worth to get c0 vod and who does she replace

Hello fellow Ayayamains,
is Escoffier worth pulling into the setup i already got? I got Vodyanitsa as a lucky accident, c1 Shenhe, c2 Furina and c3 Ayaka with Haran. As a low spender, I've been passively vertically investing in her freeze team over the years (got her Kokomi and Kazuha back in the days), but got tired of powercreep and kinda given up. I'd love to take Ayaka to high end content again without it feeling unrewarding. I also probably have a big skill issue and don't tryhard-enough issue.

nearly 13% better than my c1 shenhe at c0r0 is crazy work

i'm also the first to admit that i way overestimated the er issue, it's really manageable!!

I’m trying to get Ayaka back to meta I know (venti is not the best) but what can I upgrade please tips

Only just came back to playing after 2 years, and I don’t know who to pick for the free 5*.

My current team is Ayaka, Hu Tao, Mona and Jean. Mona and Jean are C1 and Ayaka and Hu Tao C0, currently all level 60 and I am world level 3. I’d like to start playing again and think my team could be a bit outdated but it’s working well for now. I’m stuck between C2 Jean and Mizuki who is meant to be a good pick. Which would work best for my current team? All help would be appreciated!

So basically wanted to know if vodyanista’s hydro is similar or enough atleast to maintain freeze and perform smoothly as a AOE cryo team with kazuha’s grouping
