In Senho form, she moves swiftly upon water.
When she reappears, the following effects occur:

1) Mistsplitter Reforged (ATK: 674 • Crit DMG: 44.1%)

[Refinement 1] Gain a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus for all elements and receive the might of the Mistsplitter's Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, Mistsplitter's Emblem provides a 8/16/28% Elemental DMG Bonus for the character's Elemental Type. The character will obtain 1 stack of Mistsplitter's Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals Elemental DMG (stack lasts 5s), casting Elemental Burst (stack lasts 10s); Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full). Each stack's duration is calculated independently.

2) Haran Geppaku Futsu (ATK: 608 • Crit Rate: 33.1%)

[Refinement 1] Obtain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus. When other nearby party members use Elemental Skills, the character equipping this weapon will gain 1 Wavespike stack. Max 2 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 0.3s. When the character equipping this weapon uses an Elemental Skill, all stacks of Wavespike will be consumed to gain Rippling Upheaval: each stack of Wavespike consumed will increase Normal Attack DMG by 20% for 8s.

3) Light of Foliar Incision (ATK: 542 • Crit DMG: 88.2%)

[Refinement 1] CRIT Rate is increased by 4%. After Normal Attacks deal Elemental DMG, the Foliar Incision effect will be obtained, increasing DMG dealt by Normal Attacks and Elemental Skills by 120% of Elemental Mastery. This effect will disappear after 28 DMG instances or 12s. You can obtain Foliar Incision once every 12s.

4) Finale of the Deep (ATK: 565 • ATK: 27.6%)

[Refinement 5] When using an Elemental Skill, ATK will be increased by 24% for 15s, and a Bond of Life worth 25% of Max HP will be granted. This effect can be triggered once every 10s. When the Bond of Life is cleared, a maximum of 300 ATK will be gained based on 4.8% of the total amount of the Life Bond cleared, lasting for 15s.
Note: Weapon rankings are assuming you clear the Life Bond. If you cannot clear the Life Bond, it performs similarly to Amenoma Kageuchi.

5) Aquila Favonia (ATK: 674 • Physical DMG Bonus: 41.3%)

[Refinement 1] ATK is increased by 20%. Triggers on taking DMG: the soul of the Falcon of the West awakens, holding the banner of the resistance aloft, regenerating HP equal to 100% of ATK and dealing 200% of ATK as DMG to surrounding opponents. This effect can only occur once every 15s.
Note: While Aquila Favonia has Physical Damage% as a main stat, which is basically useless on Ayaka, it is still a good statstick as it has a high base ATK and ATK% buff from the passive, however, it's not a huge upgrade over the other 4 star options and there might be a character which can utilize this weapon better (such as Bennett).

6) Amenoma Kageuchi (ATK: 454 • ATK: 55.1%)

[Refinement 5] After casting an Elemental Skill, gain 1 Succession Seed. This effect can be triggered once every 5s. The Succession Seed lasts for 30s. Up to 3 Succession Seeds may exist simultaneously. After using an Elemental Burst, all Succession Seeds are consumed and after 2s, the character regenerates 12 Energy for each seed consumed.
Note: Lowers Ayaka's Energy Recharge requirement which allows her to allocate some of her Energy Recharge substats to other offensive substats.

5) Harbinger of Dawn (ATK: 401 • Crit DMG: 46.9%)

[Refinement 5] When HP is above 90%, increases CRIT Rate by 28%.
Note: A good Crit statstick if you can keep the requirements up (having >90% HP).
