Kamisato Ayaka
Ayaka is still one of the most rewarding Cryo main DPS to invest in, especially if you enjoy the safe, beginner-friendly Freeze playstyle. What matters most is a clean 4pc Blizzard Strayer set and a Hydro unit to lock enemies in place. Don't stress over the weapon: the craftable 4-star Amenoma Kageuchi already takes her far, so skipping Mistsplitter is fine. Farm a CRIT DMG circlet and a Cryo goblet first.
