Genshin Impact 5★ Cryo Sword Main DPS
Light of Foliar Incision is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Kamisato Ayaka's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Absolution, Calamity of Eshu and Mistsplitter Reforged come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Kamisato Ayaka, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Blizzard Strayer on Kamisato Ayaka, with Finale of the Deep Galleries and A Day Carved From Rising Winds behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, Cryo DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Energy Recharge.
Talent priority is Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 80 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Kamisato Ayaka, Citlali, Furina and Escoffier, built around Kamisato Ayaka: Cryo · Mono Cryo.
Normal Attack Performs up to 5 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash a flurry of sword ki.
Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging enemies along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
