CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG substat plus a stacking 12% Cryo DMG bonus that stays near max while the infusion is up — the highest ceiling for Burst damage.

Haran Geppaku Futsu

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate and an Elemental DMG bonus, with extra Normal Attack DMG conversion — the smoother pick when your crit rate rolls are thin.

3
Light of Foliar Incision
Light of Foliar Incision

CRIT DMG

Mostly a stat stick: high base ATK with CRIT DMG. Its Elemental Mastery scaling mostly goes unused here, so take it only if it out-stats your other swords.

4
Primordial Jade Cutter
Primordial Jade Cutter

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate plus flat ATK converted from HP — a generalist option with no team or rotation requirements.

5
Summit Shaper

ATK%

ATK% with a stacking ATK buff that only triggers while shielded. Bring a shielder or the passive does nothing.

ATK%

ATK% substat; the Attack Bond from casting Skill grants flat ATK and a shield, rewarding an opening cast before the Burst.

Aquila Favonia

Physical DMG Bonus

Its Physical DMG bonus is wasted. Value it purely as a high base ATK stat stick with a small ATK passive.

8
Skyward Blade

Energy Recharge

Energy Recharge plus a modest Normal/Charged Attack speed buff — eases Burst uptime so you can run an ATK sands.

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG substat and CRIT Rate while above 90% HP. Requires constant healing or shielding, otherwise the passive drops instantly.

Artifacts

4pc grants 15% Cryo DMG and up to 40% CRIT Rate against Frozen enemies — that free crit is what lets every other roll chase CRIT DMG.

Circlet
CRIT DMGATK%

Ayaka's Charged Attack, Skill, and Burst all reach foes vacuumed into Venti's Burst.
Her Burst stays planted on Frozen targets, but drifts and knocks unfrozen enemies slightly back.

Kamisato Ayaka is a straightforward DPS dealing most damage via Burst. High scaling but costs 80 energy, so pair with a Cryo battery (Diona, Kaeya, Rosaria). Her dash (Mona-like) infuses Normal Attacks with Cryo; keep it active for rotation damage.

Main Stats Priority: Circlet main stat depends on overall stats; ATK% can rival CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG due to Blizzard Strayer (4), ascension passive, and weapons. ATK% circlets have better drop rate, so keep good ones.

Weapon Choices:
- Primordial Jade Cutter: Overcrits with Blizzard Strayer (4) and Cryo Resonance; avoid CRIT Rate substats.
- Finale of the Deep: Rankings assume clearing Life Bond; if not, similar to Amenoma Kageuchi.
- Aquila Favonia: Physical DMG main stat is useless, but high Base ATK and ATK% passive make it a statstick; not a huge upgrade over 4-star options, better on Bennett.
- Skyward Blade: Energy Recharge main stat gives comfortable Burst uptime; avoid Energy Recharge substats.
- Amenoma Kageuchi: Lowers Energy Recharge requirement, allowing more offensive substats.
- Harbinger of Dawn: Good CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG statstick if HP >90%.
