The common perma-Freeze Ayaka build, which increases Cryo DMG and CRIT Rate when an enemy is Frozen, is needed for this Envisaged Echo challenge.
Most of the objectives revolves around defeating enemies that are affected by Hydro and fighting them around a small pond.

Mistsplitter Reforged

Amenoma Kageuchi

This challenge is all about defeating all the enemies within the time limit, so you need to equip Ayaka with weapons that either have high CRIT Rate or ATK to deal the optimal damage within the short amount of time given.
With that in mind, your best bets are to pick weapons like Mistsplitter Reforged or Haran Geppaku Futsu. For F2P, the craftable weapons Finale of the Deep or Amenoma Kageuchi are a great option.

The 4pc. Blizzard Strayer set would be the best option as it utilizes Cryo DMG attacks and increases the character's CRIT Rate when an enemy is affected by Cryo or gets Frozen.
List of Artifact Sets and Stats
| Artifact Main Stats | |
|---|---|
| Artifact Sub Stats | CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, Energy Recharge |
First, you need to maximize your CRIT Ratio to at least 40% to 60% CRIT Rate and 120% to 200% CRIT DMG. Ayaka's ascension bonus stat is CRIT DMG, so you need to primarily focus on getting CRIT Rate from her artifacts.
After that, you need to get her ATK to at least 1,800 to 2,000 ATK and at least 120% to 135% Energy Recharge. Ayaka typically generates a decent amount of Cryo particles with her Elemental Skill, so Energy Recharge is not much of a big factor to get invested here.
Utilitze Ayaka's alternate sprint and collect all the electro particles in the water by following the path that leads to each one. There are also stamina orbs that can be collected to restore stamina along the way.
You may also stop the alternate sprint to create a Cryo platform in the middle of the water and rest for a short while.
When coming out of Ayaka's alternate sprint, she applies a small Cryo AoE splash damage to anything nearby. So, the strategy is to get close to the targets first, then stop the alternate sprint to apply a Cryo AoE to destroy the targets.
If the targets are positioned far away from each other, you can utilize the Cryo platform in the water to perform a Normal Attack to destroy the targets.

For all the Hydro Mimics, chase them with Ayaka's alternate sprint and use her Cryo-infused Normal and Charged Attacks to instantly freeze them. Save your Elemental Burst for the Mitachurl and Vishap.
During the fight against the Hydro Mimics, the Hydro device in the middle of the pond will be charging. When its time to fight the Mitachurl and Vishap, the Hydro device will become active, and that's where you need to pair it with Ayaka's Burst to perma-freeze the opponents.
| Ayaka Solo Rotation | Alternate Sprint → Elemental Skill → Normal Attack(5x) → Charged Attack → Alternate Sprint → Elemental Skill → Elemental Burst → Normal Attack(5x) → Charged Attack |
|---|
The most important thing to remember with Ayaka is to use her alternate sprint first so she can obtain the Cryo infusion for her Normal and Charged Attacks. Then, you can you use her Elemental Skill to lower enemies's Cryo RES.
Save up your Elemental Burst for the Mitachurls and Vishaps as they can be more difficult to defeat with just Normal and Charged Attacks compared to the Hydro Mimics.
