Descent of Ice and Snow: Ayaka’s Ice and Fire Combat Guide
In this battlefield blanketed by ice and snow, a new ice element envoy is about to take the stage. Ayaka, the upcoming 5-star ice element character, is like a winter snowflake—pure yet lethal. Although she appears as a Sub-DPS, her unique talents bring an icy descent of pain to the team.
Ayaka Profile
This ice element envoy wields a long-handled weapon, her eyes shimmering with the light of ice and snow. Her Elemental Skill is as masterful as a chef’s knife work, moving effortlessly across the battlefield. Her Elemental Burst, on the other hand, is like a healing ice rain, bringing life back to the team. Most remarkably, her passive talent makes her an indispensable presence in any ice team: when there are 1/2/3/4 water or ice element characters in the team, she reduces the enemy’s water and ice element resistance by 5%/10%/15%/55%.
The Path of Talents
In this ice and snow battle, Ayaka’s talent enhancement should follow a specific priority:
