Weapons

1
Mistsplitter Reforged
Mistsplitter Reforged

CRIT DMG

Best-in-slot; 3 stacks give 40% Cryo DMG Bonus and high base ATK, syncing perfectly with Burst rotations.

2
Haran Geppaku Futsu
Haran Geppaku Futsu

CRIT Rate

Offers CRIT Rate and a passive that boosts Normal ATK and all DMG after using Skill, though Burst gets less benefit.

3
Light of Foliar Incision
Light of Foliar Incision

CRIT DMG

Provides CRIT DMG; Normal and Charged ATK DMG bonus works in freeze, but the Elemental Mastery passive is often wasted.

4
Primordial Jade Cutter
Primordial Jade Cutter

CRIT Rate

High CRIT Rate and HP-to-ATK conversion; easy to build, but with Blizzard Strayer you risk overcapping CRIT Rate.

5
Summit Shaper
Summit Shaper

ATK%

High base ATK and ATK% with shield; without a shielder the passive is unreliable, but raw stats still compete.

6
Finale of the Deep
Finale of the DeepR5

ATK%

Substat CRIT DMG; ATK bonus after Skill helps, but the Normal ATK focus misses the Burst-centric playstyle.

7
Aquila Favonia
Aquila Favonia

Physical DMG Bonus

Physical DMG substat is wasted; only used for its high base ATK when no better sword is available.

8
Skyward Blade
Skyward Blade

Energy Recharge

Energy Recharge improves Burst uptime but gives no crit; a support-ish option outdamaged by most crit weapons.

ATK%

Substat CRIT DMG; ATK bonus after Skill helps, but the Normal ATK focus misses the Burst-centric playstyle.

10
Amenoma Kageuchi

ATK%

F2P craftable; ATK% and energy refund on Skill casts fix energy needs, though no crit stats limit overall damage.

11
The Black Sword
The Black Sword

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate and Normal/Charged ATK DMG boost; strong for sustained damage but less impactful on Burst.

12
Kagotsurube Isshin

ATK%

Free ATK% with an on-hit passive; serviceable but outclassed by craftable options like Amenoma Kageuchi.

Harbinger of Dawn

CRIT DMG

Huge CRIT DMG above 90% HP; in freeze with a shielder/healer it is a budget stat stick, but low base ATK hurts.

Artifacts

Core 4-piece: +15% Cryo DMG and +40% CRIT Rate against Cryo-affected or frozen enemies, so you can stack CRIT DMG instead.

2-piece ATK% from any set (e.g. Gladiator's or Shimenawa) raises overall damage, especially when Blizzard Strayer already covers crit.

Recommended Primary Stats

Cryo DMG Bonus
Circlet
CRIT DMGATK%

Ayaka's Charged Attack, Skill, and Burst all hit enemies suspended by Venti's Burst. Her Burst lingers on Cryo-affected frozen enemies; against unfrozen foes, it knocks them back.

Kamisato Ayaka is a straightforward DPS; her Elemental Burst deals most damage with high scalings but costs 80 energy. Pair with a Cryo battery (e.g., Diona, Kaeya, Rosaria). Her special dash grants Cryo infusion on Normal Attacks—always keep it active to maximize rotation damage.

Main Stats Priority:
Circlet depends on overall stats. With Blizzard Strayer (4), ascension passive, and weapons, ATK% circlets can rival CRIT ones and have better drop rates—don’t discard good ATK% pieces.

Weapon Choices:
Primordial Jade Cutter – Overcrits with Blizzard Strayer + Cryo Resonance; avoid CRIT Rate substats.
Finale of the Deep – Assume you clear the Life Bond; if not, performs similarly to Amenoma Kageuchi.
Aquila Favonia – Physical DMG% is useless, but high base ATK and AT% passive make it a decent statstick; not a big upgrade over 4-stars, and better on Bennett.
Skyward BladeEnergy Recharge main stat ensures good burst uptime; avoid ER substats.
Amenoma Kageuchi – Lowers ER requirement, letting you invest in offensive substats.
Harbinger of Dawn – Strong CRIT statstick if you keep HP >90%.
