Ayato's Strengths and Weaknesses

Ayato's Strengths
• His biggest pro is that he is extremely versatile towards any Hydro-related reaction team comps. If any given party requires a Hydro DPS, Ayato can fill in one way or another. • Can deal high single and multi-target AoE DMG. • Elemental Burst can support teammates and himself.
Ayato's Weaknesses
• While highly flexible and versatile, he is a jack of all trades but master of none. As he can slot in to many Hydro team comps, he is not considered as a staple in those parties. • High Elemental Burst cost. This is slightly fixed thanks to his passive.

Best Builds for Ayato

Ayato Main DPS Build

Low-Ping Hydro Main DPS

Best Weapon	Haran Geppaku Futsu
Replacement Weapons	1. Mistsplitter Reforged 2. Primordial Jade Cutter 3. The Black Sword
Best Artifacts	Echoes of an Offering x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK%
	Goblet: Hydro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, HP%
Sample Teams	Rainbow: Vaporize:

The Echoes of an Offering artifact set should only be used if players have a low ping to Genshin Impact servers. This is because the chance of triggering the 4pc effect gradually gets more inconsistent the higher the ping is.

With a constant green ping, found on the top right, this build has the bigger potential to deal more damage than the Heart of Depth set.

Hydro Main DPS

Best Weapon	Haran Geppaku Futsu
Replacement Weapons	1. Mistsplitter Reforged 2. Primordial Jade Cutter 3. The Black Sword
Best Artifacts	Heart of Depth x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK%
	Goblet: Hydro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, HP%
Sample Teams	Rainbow: Vaporize:

This is Ayato's most consistent build for Ayato as a Main DPS, especially for players with high ping. Not only does it increase his Normal Attack damage, but it also increases his Elemental Burst damage as well.

You may also use Gladiator's Finale or Nymph's Dream as placeholders, but Heart of Depth should theoretically be his second-best artifact set.

Ayato Sub-DPS Build

Hydro Sub-DPS

Best Weapon	Mistsplitter Reforged
Replacement Weapons	1. Skyward Blade 2. Primordial Jade Cutter 3. Amenoma Kageuchi
Best Artifacts	Emblem of Severed Fate x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK% or ER
	Goblet: Hydro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, HP%
Sample Teams	Vaporize: Freeze:

This Sub-DPS build utilizes Ayato's Elemental Burst. His burst window will be used for buffing damage and setting up Elemental Reactions for the Main DPS.

Ayato Goal Stat Values

Stat	Goal Value
ATK	2,000
CRIT Rate	70 ~ 80%
CRIT DMG	160% or above
Energy Recharge	100 ~ 130%

Ayato wants to reach around 2,000 ATK as the standard baseline for most ATK-based DPS units. However, he can also derive some of his ATK stats from his HP, which get converted to ATK.

Afterwards, focus on maintaining at least 70% CRIT Rate and around 160% or more CRIT DMG to ensure that he outputs meaningful and consistent damage. His Energy Recharge can either be left alone, or taken to around 130% if you want to use his Burst every rotation.

Ayato's Talent Priority

Main DPS

1st	2nd	3rd
Elemental Skill	Elemental Burst	Normal Attack

Sub-DPS

1st	2nd	3rd
Elemental Burst	Elemental Skill	Normal Attack

Ayato's Elemental Skill and Burst are key talents that change leveling priority depending on the build. Ayato's Normal Attacks does not affect the damage when using his Elemental Skill, so it should be leveled last.

Ayato Best Artifacts

	Artifact	Artifact Bonuses
1st	Echoes of an Offering	2-PC: ATK +18%. 4-PC: When Normal Attacks hit opponents, there is a 36% chance that it will trigger Valley Rite, which will increase Normal Attack DMG by 70% of ATK.

Ayato Team Comps

Consistent Hydro DPS

Ayato's main use case is being used as a Main DPS that has him slotted together with Off-Field teammates in Vaporize, Electro-Charged, or even Hyperbloom teams.

These allies often time their abilities with Ayato's Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst cooldowns, ensuring that players can create a smooth damage rotation with him.

Notable Teammates

Character	Explanation
Venti	Support Venti's Elemental Burst allows him to converge all of Ayato's targets into one place, allowing Ayato's Elemental Skill to hit all opponents without much interruption or issue.
Kazuha	Sub-DPS/Support Kazuha can essentially power-up Ayato's attacks and group up enemies for Ayato's Elemental Skill to be more efficient.
Ineffa	Sub-DPS Ineffa enables Lunar-Charged for Ayato, which becomes incredibly potent if Ayato is in a team with a strong Electro Sub-DPS that can consistently help proc Electro-Charged.
Raiden	Sub-DPS Raiden aids Ayato by serving as an Electro applicator, an energy battery, a second On-Field DPS, and a potential Hyperbloom trigger. Her quickswap playstyle and On-Field Burst playstyle allow her to fit into most of Ayato's teams without much intrusion.
Ororon	Sub-DPS Ororon thrives in Electro-Charged and Lunar-Charged teams, and benefits from a strong Hydro applicator like Ayato.
Fischl	Sub-DPS Fischl remains one of the prime choices as an Electro Sub-DPS, able to bring Electro application that can match Ayato's own Hydro application, as well as formidable DPS that allow her and Ayato to function as the primary damage dealers.
Escoffier	Support Escoffier enables Freeze for Ayato, and lowers the Hydro RES of opponents, allowing him to run enemies down more easily. On top of that, Escoffier herself brings formidable damage that help skyrocket a normal Freeze team's damage.
Citlali	Support Citlali offers a comfortable shield for Ayato to take advantage of, as well as Hydro RES similar to Escoffier that elevates Ayato's damage.
Mavuika	Sub-DPS Mavuika can enable Vaporize for Ayato, as well as contribute with her own personal damage during Ayato's downtime. Namely, she is able to use her Elemental Burst on any Hydro-applied targets and deal a chunk of damage.
Bennett	Support Bennett brings a much-revered damage boost that Ayato appreciates as more ATK allows him to hit enemies for more damage.
Xiangling	Sub-DPS In terms of Pyro Sub-DPS units, Xiangling still stands as one of the top choices due to how convenient it is to utilize her and the damage she can output.
Nahida	Sub-DPS Nahida has strong Dendro application and a wide reach of her abilities to where Ayato can take advantage of this and consistently generate Bloom cores for use by a Hyperbloom team.
Furina	Sub-DPS Furina provides a strong DMG Bonus for Ayato to take advantage of, as well as enabling Hydro Resonance. Because of Ayato's HP conversion mechanic, this directly translates into more DMG for him.
Yelan	Sub-DPS Yelan powers up Ayato's DMG over the course of her Elemental Burst's buff duration, but must be cast early in the rotation to account for Ayato's Elemental Skill uptime.
Xingqiu	Sub-DPS Xingqiu's main method of contribution is via more Hydro DMG alongside Ayato's Elemental Skill. If functioning in a team with DMG bonuses, Xingqiu and Ayato are able to bring enough raw Hydro DMG to be the only DPS units on a team.
Yun Jin	Support Ayato mostly benefits from Yun Jin's Attack Speed bonus, as he does not use his Normal Attacks in practice since his Elemental Skill counts as its own damage.
Zhongli	Support Zhongli brings a comfortable shield for Ayato to dish out uninterrupted damage in as his uptime is already fragile enough. Zhongli aids in this by providing a safety net, but does not aid much in terms of damage other than the RES shred.
Xilonen	Support Xilonen provides healing and RES shred with an easy-to-manage Elemental Skill and Burst rotation, giving Ayato more damage without much nuance.

Ayato Rainbow Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Ayato	Fischl	Kazuha	Bennett

Ayato will be the trigger in this Electro-Charged plus Vaporize team. Fischl (especially at C6) can help recharge Ayato's energy while Bennett can boost Ayato's damage and heal the party.

Make sure to swirl Pyro first by using Kazuha's burst while standing on Bennett's burst for Kazuha to self-swirl Pyro!

Ayato Vaporize Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Ayato	Xiangling	Bennett	Kazuha
Ayato	Kazuha	Bennett	Dahlia

Ayato can achieve his highest personal DPS by triggering Vaporize reactions during his Elemental Skill.

This usually requires two Pyro units in order to be consistent with Vaporizes, but a second or third Pyro unit can be swapped out for an Anemo unit who can swirl Pyro and keep up Pyro uptime.

Ayato Hyperbloom Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Ayato	Nahida	Furina	Shinobu
Ayato	Nahida	Shinobu	Baizhu
Ayato	Traveler (Dendro)	Raiden	Yaoyao

Ayato is also a great enabler for the Hyperbloom reaction. His Elemental Skill will help create Dendro Cores while the off-field Electro Character will trigger the Hyperbloom reaction.

Ayato Burgeon Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Ayato	Thoma	Nahida	Kokomi
Ayato	Thoma	Nahida	Yaoyao

This Dendro Team Comp for Ayato will only need 2 core teammates, a Pyro and Dendro off-field damage dealer. The goal is to create Dendro Cores by using Ayato and the Dendro Traveler's Elemental Burst. Afterwards, the off-field Pyro unit will trigger the Burgeon reaction with Pyro damage.

Afterwards, you can swap Ayato back in and do damage with his Elemental Skill.

Ayato Freeze Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Ayato	Furina	Citlali	Escoffier
Ayato	Ganyu	Venti	Diona

With the addition of more damage-increasing supports for Freeze, Ayato has new teammates such as Furina and Escoffier to pair with in Freeze teams, allowing him to keep up his damage.

Ayato F2P Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Ayato	Lisa	Traveler (Dendro)	Barbara

For newer players, a Hyperbloom team comp can be used as an early game option for Ayato. You may opt to using Collei as well!

Sub-DPS Ayato Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Yoimiya	Ayato	Bennett	Kazuha

Use Ayato's Elemental Burst to buff Yoimiya's Normal Attacks. He can also use his Elemental Skill to trigger Yoimiya's burst, while Bennett and Kazuha can further buff her! Note that Ayato will be the one Vaporizing in this team comp due to poor application.

Yoimiya can be replaced with Raiden Shogun or by any character who would appreciate the Hydo DMG Ayato provides with his Elemental burst.

If Ayato is not on the field and his energy is low, he will regenerate a set amount of energy in regular intervals.

Passively Provides Energy

Genshin - Kamisato Art Michiyuki Hagetsu

While Ayato is off the field, his passive will provide him with 2 every second if his total energy is below half of his Elemental Burst cost. Ideally, you would only want Ayato to be swapped out when his Elemental Skill is in cooldown, so this passive should give at least 10 Energy at minimum.

Thoughts About Ayato

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Ayaka	As the head of the Kamisato Clan, brother always has a full schedule of places he needs to be. I do try my best to share his load, but there is no changing the pressure he is subjected to all year round, and the toll it takes upon him. 'sigh' If you see him, remind him to take care of himself, for his sister's sake...
Itto	Haha, I only wish I could have met Ayato sooner. He really taught me something. "You can kindle the warrior spirit even in the weakest of bugs"... Yep, I really took that one to heart. If it weren't for those words of wisdom, I'm pretty sure I would have given up beetle fighting after losing for the 780th time... Yeah, I guess sometimes it takes a warrior to understand a warrior. When we're playing trading card games or battling beetles, we're always totally on the same wavelength.
Raiden	Kamisato... One of the most distinguished clans in all of Inazuma. Despite Ayato's trickery in regard of the Tri-Commission's affairs, he is nevertheless a loyal subject. His past misdeeds shall be excused.
Sayu	Sometimes, when I'm taking a rest up in a tree, I overhear the shrine maidens talking about him. Sounds like he's pretty important and super busy most the time. I don't get it, though - it's only work, or whatever, so why doesn't he just... not do it?
Thoma	As head of the Kamisato Clan, he's in a tough position. With all the political upheaval, he has to contend with public disquiet on one hand and a bunch of self-serving, degenerate public officials on the other. It's best not to dwell on it. All I can do is make sure to look out for him when he's at home.
Yae Miko	The Yashiro rascal... he's always been an unpredictable one, even as a child. Don't be taken in by his warm smile. There's no knowing what devious scheme might be brewing inside his head — it's really quite maddening... What do you mean, "sly as a fox"? Hmph, if you're trying to insinuate that he and I are anything alike, you are sorely mistaken.

Ayato's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Ayaka	About Ayaka I am confident in Ayaka's abilities. But I want her to be able to hold on to her innocence. She shouldn't have to get personally involved in power struggles, or confront the darker side of life head-on. As her older brother, it's my job to shield her from all of that... Heh, just... between the two of us, of course. Sorry, that got a little more private a little ore quickly than I'd intended.
Itto	About Itto Now he's an interesting case. Pitting docile Onikabuto against each other in battle... heh, that's a first... I was only speaking in polite platitudes when I gave him that little pep talk, but to my surprise he started calling me "bro"... To this day, he calls me "my bro Ayato" without the faintest idea of my true identity. It's quite alright by me, though, I have nothing against his... unique character.
Kazuha	About Kazuha Once upon a time, the Kaedehara Clan was a subordinate branch of the Kamisato Clan. My forebears may have failed to save his family from decline, but even today I have a duty to support him. Now, naturally, there is nothing I can do to restore his clan's former fortunes. But as for helping him avoid arrest by the Tenryou Commission, that is well within my capabilities...
Ningguang	About Ningguang I have heard a thing or two about how Her Eminence, the Tianquan operates. On the subject, I also happen to have a limited-edition copy of Liyue Millennial, if you're interested? What do you say, shall I have someone fetch it, so we can play a game?
Raiden	About Raiden Shogun The cost of pursuing eternity has been great for the Almighty Shogun... and for all of Inazuma. These wounds will take time to heal, and as someone with a mediating role to play in the political process, I will be sure to fulfill that which is required of me.
Sara	About Sara Old man Kujou capitalized on a golden opportunity to create a most formidable weapon indeed. The only flaw in his plan being, he is now no longer able to wield the weapon of his creation.
Sayu	About Sayu She looks awfully idle the majority of the time, and yet when it counts, she always rises to the occasion and provides indispensable assistance. Of course, you'd know far more about that than me, wouldn't you?
Thoma	About Thoma There is no doubt in my mind about Thoma's loyalty to the Kamisato Clan. A long time ago, partly to see where he stood, I advised him that he would be better off leaving if he didn't want to get drawn into the never-ending disputes that plague public life. Still, he chose to stay, and in all the time he's been with us, he's spared me much worry. There are very few people I trust completely these days, but Thoma is one of them.
Yae Miko	About Yae Miko Lady Guuji has been kind to us in the Kamisato Clan, but she has never quite taken to me personally. I trust you'll have heard the way she refers to me... "the Yashiro rascal" and other such flattering monikers. We run into each other semi-regularly, given the overlap in our work, and despite whatever private thoughts we each may have, our working relationship is quite a harmonious one. I have no great objection to this state of affairs — working with intelligent people always makes things highly efficient. In any case... However objectionable she might find me, she would be forced to admit that without me, she would have no one to help execute her weird and wonderful ideas.
Yoimiya	About Yoimiya Ah, the fireworks store owner. Yes, a most... spirited young lady. The Kamisato Clan is on rather close terms with her. She is around the same age as Ayaka, and the two get along very well. I trust her direct and outspoken disposition won't lead Ayaka astray. Ayaka has always been staunchily true to herself, ever since she was a young child.
