    it's hard to imagine Hoyo 100% powercreeping Ayaka to irrelevancy seeing how much of a golden goose Ayaka is for the company, she's the 1st character ever made, shares a birthday with the very game itself, has a special PV for her rerun (no other characters, not even Archon reruns, gets this treatment), AND (even if it is by coincidence due to Corona) she has the longest running banner of any character in Genshin for maybe ever

    They dont have to powercreep her 100% to irrelevancy. They can just make her how they did ganyu. Add someone that does her job better by 20% and see how their usage rates and relevance slowly decays from 80% to 16%. Its hard to believe they'll powercreep her though, since she together with raiden, are the embodiment of unbalancing and powercreep. The worst it might happen is for mihoyo to add a specialised melt dps that would furthermore powercreep ganyu. Adding a new freeze dps would mean shooting themselves in the foot. They'll eventually do something about her, especially when she'll be a problem for other characters' success. I would rather be afraid of what might come next for ganyu, since the cryo dps niches are kind of limited, and the next cryo will most likely be melt oriented. First ayaka and now another unit that nerfs her would lead to becoming a glorified support for ayaka.

    Honestly, during her last rerun, before it even got clear that it'll last longer, I was thinking "well, I want Kazuha, so I'll catch Ayaka later"... And then I did a trial and finally understood that she can apply cryo all the time. Now, a few patches later, partially thanks to 5 pity Keqing after Ayaka got the guarantee reserved for Kazuha, I have Ayaka, Yelan and Kazuha and those are some of the units I use most in the Abyss and/or overworld.

    Ayaka, Yelan, Kazuha are a very solid base for a team. Yelan’s skill inflicts Hydro and pulls enemies in, Kazuha’s skill does Swirl+VV shred+pulls enemies even further, and then Ayaka finishes with a Freeze. The three of them are the core of my party for Abyss, and for exploration I pair them with Sayu so I can achieve maximum distance across land and water. 👍

Later, in her rerun, I got lucky in her 2nd banner where I got Ayaka after pulling Ayato which took 9 pulls(I think) and got her main weapon the Mistsplitter. Eventually, she became the strongest character that I have due to the amount of time and resin I had when farming.

    Ayaka's gameplay is definitely my favorite one (2nd closely would be Razor). I personally think a lot of people use her for how comfortable she is and how much utility she gives. In Inazuma we had specters, and she was one of not the only melee character that was able to hit them. She also didnt care if they were cryo, as she could still choose to do physical damage or cryo damage when needed, its not like Diluc where if you find a pyro smile in mondstadt youd just be like ''oh dang it''. Inazuma also had a lot of water, small rivers and islands, and she made world exploration SO much easier. In Sumeru she has less usage because dendro doesnt interact with cryo at all, however she functions in the exact same way with the fungus and world exploration, especially now that her dash was basically fixed and now its way more comfortable than even running with a character with default running style. Shes very F2P friendly but also doesnt limit herself to it. Her birthday is literally the release date of the game, so she's mihoyo's favorite. She's the only 5 star character who has another 5 star character tailor made for supporting her, while other gets 4 star supports (sara, gorou, etc) Not even mentioning how good her role in the archon quest and Inazuma in general are. She feels like a real person and you can tell they were so careful with their writing, giving her the first dance in the whole game that later became more common with more performers characters. She's also one of the few characters who shows sooo much interests in other nations cultures apart from Venti and Zhongli. I just want her to be happy and I swear, she's not even just waifu material or whatever, she's my wife and I will protect her happiness at whatever cost.

    When she first got released I didn't expect her to be as flexible with the team as she is. I think thats also one of the best things about her kit. You can pair her up with EVERY SINGLE anemo / hydro unit and the team will work. Some will be better than others, of course, but its definitely way easier to build teams and enjoy different playstyles with her. Ive used sayu, venti, kazuha, sucrose with her. Then Ive also used mona, kokomi, xinqiu and ayato and they all work just fine. Shes the only dps that gives that experience of ''oh I want to level up x character friendship, I'll just put them on my Ayaka team for my dailies'' and then the team is actually functionable

    A Genshin Play video I can finally fully agree with since Ayaka is my most widely used 5-star character out of the others excluding Raiden Shogun. She's just too fun to play and as you mentioned can do so much in her entire kit. I was able to get her at C1 though, but I'm planning to push that further the day her banner ever releases again which won't be for a long time since her recent banner was out for like a month earlier this year.

    I remember I had dropped the game around version 1.2 or 1.3 and only returned when Inazuma released. The first 10 pull I did gave me Ayaka and Jean, my first 5 star units and Ayaka carried me far into the game. She has her own little home in the teapot and I cherish her. It's because of her that I just decided to pull on every Cryo unit I can get and I have them all (except Qiqi).

    I started playing the game before Ayaka was released, and back then I really wasn’t that into Genshin (I’d log on like once every month and just walk around the areas, but nothing else). It was when her banner came and I just fell in love with how beautiful she was as a character. I felt a sense of need to pull for her, because I felt as if I wanted to give this game another chance, then she’d completely enhance my experience with the game. Her banner was also the first time that I became so heavily invested with grinding every primogem I could find through quests and exploration, and thankfully after 84 pity (and on a 50/50) she came home. Now at AR58, I am both an Ayaka and Keqing main, and they are always my go-to for spiral. I am just very grateful that I have her because she allowed me to give this game another chance, to really see the beauty of it and what it had to offer.

    She has what i'm still missing with Jean. An infusion of her own element. Making her a hyper carry, a main dps, a burst dps all in one with her kit. She can be played on multiple roles, in multiple ways. and when i'm traveling around the overworld it's just ayaka and kokomi and you cant die, and everything doesnt stand a chance against you. But the later feels great battling foes because her normal and charged attacks feel great to use. And her skills amplify this by having 1 big aoe attack and a burst you dont really need. But everything annoying you dont want to deal with is gone in seconds. also traveling along the water in inazuma was the best + of all.

Amenoma works perfectly with her too if you cant get Mistsplitter. Now I got Ganyu, three of them is the eternal blizzard team I've grown to love.

I love absolutely nuking things with her burst but the range and other utility of ganyu is often needed so I can say that even with having both you don’t feel bad about it. Of course ayaka is my favorite personality (and the fact that she seems like she kinda has a thing for the traveler is adorable to me)
