r/AyakaMains

I picked up Genshin again recently, and I was looking at upgrading my Ayaka team (currently Ayaka, Shenhe, Kokomi, Kazuha). My plan had been to save up for Escoffie and run Ayaka, Shenhe, Escoffie, Furina, but it's looking like Vodyanitsa is another good addition to the team. I've got a guarantee and enough pulls to hit one character banner right now. I can get Vodyanitsa, but then I gamble on hitting Escoffie. I can probably get enough pulls to hit max pity by the end of the next banner, but I doubt I'll have time to farm more before the banner ends.

Is Vodyanitsa enough of an improvement over Shenhe to gamble and risk missing Escoffie? I'm probably on Kokomi in Escoffie's spot if I gamble and miss.

Edit: Thank you all for talking me out of gambling. I'll save up for the rerun

As the title asks, I’m having a bit of a rough time trying to figure out a rotation with Vody in new premium

My rot is: Furina EQ, Esco EQ, Vody E, Ayaka EdN1Q + 2 N2Cd + N2Ed + 2 N2Cd -> repeat.

Issue is that Ayaka is onfield for so long that all her buffs are already gone after the first couple charged attacks after bursting and her only real purpose ends up being to tickle the enemies until furinas cooldown is over.

Vody uses ttds and timing with that is also a bit annoying

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

okay, so this is kind of two questions in one...

first, i'm currently running ayaka/shenhe/kazuha/vodya. i assume my dps would be higher if i pulled for escoffier and replaced kazuha, but i want to make sure. pls lemme know!

second, should i still pull for furina? i've seen some ppl say that vodya is furina's replacement, but i've also seen vodya as shenhe's replacement. there are other characters i want more than furina, but if she would actually be better than what i have, then i might go for her.

I dont understand how the ER calculator works so im asking here asking how much ER would I need for this team -

C0R0 Ayaka, C0 R5 Fav Furina, C0 R1 Frostbreath Shenhe, C0 TTDS Vodya

And how much would C1 Shenhe decrease team's ER req's

Our girl deserves the world after all! 40 pity and 47 pulls, wish me luck gang
