Echoes artifact set is his hypothetical best but is ONYL worth it if you have 40 ping or less. 50+ ping and it starts to fall behind glad

[moonawilks]

Just wanted to say your thumbnails lately have been looking so good and appealing. Very good job on them <3

[Spookie]

He was my first 5* character when i didn't know anything about the game. Very beginner friendly and is still one of my top dps now. Very easy to build too.

[LuddyFish_]

Despite my enjoyment for Neuvillette, Neuvillette feels more of a hypercarry that'll drive teammates who can match him, whereas Ayato will go with anyone. It's why I still prefer Ayato burgeon over Neuvillette burgeon because Thomato is an amazingly synergistic pairing.

Did you know?

Hydro is the element with most 5-stars and least 4-stars in the game. (As of 4.2)


I wonder why

[ArnoldFrost]

Ayato imo tests one's understanding and nuance on versatility. It's easy to brush him off for other options but he never was a low-tier option anywhere. Childe and Neuv have no off-field presence, Yelan and Xingqiu have lower AoE, Kokomi has lower personal damage, etc. Like yeah they do better elsewhere but 1 unit who doesn't have these units' ceilings having a non-negligible edge edge over everybody is surprisingly good.

He's not speedrun-oriented in any way but by God the amount of teams I can make with him is a lot that even when I got him since debut I never benched him

[renycilfay]

Before you skip JUST because he's "weaker than Neuvillette" just remember that Abyss 12 is NOT that hard/high of a DPS check. Ayato WILL clear Abyss 12 without struggle. And I do mean *without struggle.* If you like him, I very much recommend him.
Ayato Kazuha Fischl Beidou was my first 36 star and he's been in all my abyss runs since, among many different teams still rocking a C0 with black sword.
Ayato working in many different teams and with every support in the game feels much better to players who aren't heavy spenders planning on getting every unit in the game, and is understated by most content creators who will pull for at least c0 of every character for content.

[bartofii]

When Ayato first dropped.... I saw his preview, tried him out in the practice domain... Vergil vibes all the way.... So obivously I pair him with Kazuha and Raiden to make him the storm that is approaching.

Ayato is also the character that made me realize I haven't been doing my character's artifacts properly. Because his 4pc glad keeps reminding me I need to get more people built up and it really is hard to get artifact rolls to be as generous as they were for him.

edit: Still loved seeing people debate on artifact sets... Echoes vs Heart of Depths vs Glad... and Thundering Fury was put forward for some teams

[kalkomsksikru]

I was an Ayato main then I tasted the power dendro and never left until Nuevilette came and oh wow, Ayato's fully buffed damage is just raw dmg of Neuvi. Ayato deserved better but he is still fun.

[baizhuwaitingroom]

I love Yun Jin so the fact she's great for hypercarry Ayato makes me really happy, that was my go to team for many abysses

[MrJmannikko]

I appreciate you going over the sample rotations. More things like this in some recommended teams is very helpful.

[plummyplummy]

really appreciate the section where you just pause the meta talk to say "if you like ayato he has good value" lol. i just finished building my neuvillette but i pulled for ayato anyway because i like him and i want to watch him drink boba

[TerraTheWise]

I do indeed like Ayato because of his versatility. He might not be the hypercarry hydro dps that Neuvilette is but he has so many teams he can slot into. He reminds me of Ganyu in that you can use them as your on field carry or an off-field burst support. I have one team that even combines Ayato, Ganyu, and venti which is just fun to watch or I’ll build him full em for my Nilou bloom.

[Stinger]

I really like Ayato’s gameplay, and I literally do not have any hydro characters other than barbara, so I’m very excited to get him

[matthewisgaming]

Thank you for this ayato guide I needed it❤

[PurplexxInuxBokuSS]

Wanted to watch a video like this that consolidates Ayato's value in the current hydro meta. I pulled him and was excited, although I wasn't sure if he was going to be redundant in my account or not. Glad to know that he basically fits in so many teams and that he still got his own strengths.

[superbanimegirl]

Thanks for the guide man! Gonna gun for Ayato’s rerun in 4.2, wish me luck!

[Adoom]

His best set is actually Echoes of an offering btw, but most people never farm that domain so it's understandable that it gets forgotten.

[StillQiqiless]

I was waiting for this guide since i think i will be pulling for him for my hyperbloom team. I cant thank you enough for the guide.
I have 55 pity and not guaranteed. So lets see if i can have him.

[blizzard]

I wonder why Ayato + Candace is so slept on, shes probably one of his best supports. She's essentially Yun-Jin but Hydro which gives him a resonance as well as more Hydro app/infusion.
