Ayato Genshin enjoyed a huge hype during March-April, 2022 when it made its debut. The five-star Hydro Sword character from Genshin impact got its maiden rerun in December 2022. As it is playable again, the Genshin Impact players are eager to know all about it. If this arrival has cheered you, this blog, with an analysis of its strength and weaknesses, is for you.
Ayato is a wonderful unit with high potential, but reconsider before you wish for it. The players who think twice before spending Primogems have to check its worth in the long run.
Ayato Genshin Background
Kamisato Ayato, the sibling of Kamisato Ayaka, is the Yashiro Commissioner and the Kamisato clan head. Ayato’s main motive is to protect the people of Inazuma, including his family. He works tirelessly for this purpose. At the same time, he tries to combat and win against the corrupt officials of the government. In short, he is cunning and resourceful.
Ayato Genshin Impact debut took place in version 2.6. The debut banner of the five-star Hydro character ran from March 30 to April 19 last year.
Speculations
A lot of speculation had been emerging on Ayato since the first news of its release came in. Version 2.5 offered a quick glance at the 48th playable character of the Genshin Impact. Even before that, there had been many leaks about the character. But, fans were unsure of its arrival for long.
Personality and Intentions
Genshin Ayato is a determined and strong-willed individual who is not afraid to take on dangerous tasks. He is known for his courage, bravery, and flexibility. Also, he is dedicated to maintaining the stability and prosperity of Inazuma. Despite being so stressed and occupied, he manages to hang out with Arataki Itto.
The rerun banner update between December-January 2023 included Ayato’s weapon, a black Haran Geppaku Futsu sword. He wields the sword with extreme grace.
Besides, he can normally attack in a six-attack string. The fourth attack comes after a long gap from the third and is a double strike. Then, the double strike opens up windows and combos.
Abilities
Ayato Genshin is more attractive to the players for his extraordinary Elementary Skill. He can wield his sword gracefully to launch attacks in a fraction of a second. The Elemental Burst helps him defeat several foes with a wide range of AOE Hydro infusion. The attention-grabbing abilities are:-
- Damage significantly like a sub-DPS
- Soak hits like an HP tank
- Rare AOE support
The Elemental skills are:-
- A watery illusion to explode in a large area and combat enemies with a faster attack
- The normal attacks are very quick
- Resistance to interruption
- When he leaves the field, the effects vanish
- The Elementary Burst provides the following:-
- Hydro attack in regular intervals
- Boosts normal attack
- Lasts as much as eighteen seconds
- 20 seconds of cooldown
These skills and strengths of Ayato have caught the eyes of the Genshin Impact players.
Weapons
The sword of Ayato Genshin is a significant reason for the fans to wish for the character. The sword boosts Ayato’s Normal Attack DMG. Additionally, the Skill and Burst integrate into its ability to double their identity as an attacking character.
The most attractive opportunity for the players is the weapon banner, apart from the character banner. Therefore, the players can grab the chance to get Haran Geppaku Futsu.
The water element makes the sword match perfectly with his skills and abilities.
Constellations
The character is time limited and five-star. So, most players may not see his Constellations. However, the Constellations of Genshin Ayato are:-
- C1/ Level 1: Increases Shunsuiken DMG against opponents by 40% with 50% health
- C2/ Level 2: Increases Namisen stack count to the maximum level by 5%
- C3/ Level 3: The maximum Elementary Skill update takes it to 15 with an increase of three levels
- C4/ Level 4: Normal Attack SPD boosting by 15% using the Elementary Skill for fifteen seconds.
- C5/ Level 5: The constellation of Elementary Burst is the same as Elementary Skill.
- C6/ Level 6: After the use of Elementary Skill, he gets two extra Shunsuiken strikes.
How to Get Ayato?
You can only get to wish it while Azure Excursion, the character wish banner event runs. It has become unavailable after December-January, 2023. But it will be available again, like many other Genshin Impact playable characters.
Reasons it’s Worth Wishing
The reasons for making your Genshin Ayato wish worth it are the following:-
- You will get attractive gameplay and the character design
- Your lineup will become extensive as it is a Hydro supported character
- There is an opportunity for you to optimize Yun Jin and Yoimiya teams
- It offers you the experience of Vergil’s Judgement Cut. If it was on your Genshin Impact bucket list, go for Kamisato Ayato.
Overall, it’s a good pull for those who are desperate for the playable character.
Reasons to Skip Ayato
If you are a Genshin lover, you must be in love with Ayaka and Venti. Unfortunately, the widely supported character Venti is against Genshin Ayato. Even Ayaka, his sister, is also against him. She is a very popular character, too, as a good burst damage character.
So, both Ayaka and Venti are of high value to anyone’s Genshin account.
Is he a Bad Character?
He is not at all a bad character. Some experts consider his timing of arrival to be wrong, possibly worst.
Furthermore, his uniqueness isn’t enough to make him shine well, unlike other hydro supports. Other popular hydro supports like Mona and Kokomi are respectively great in Elemental Burst and uptime and healing.
Players who don’t play Yoimiya won’t actually gain much if they wish for this hydro character. Ayato pulls ahead only when he is supporting Yoimiya.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Genshin Ayato is a well-rounded character who is both tough and compassionate and is sure to remain a fan-favorite for years to come. The gamers should only be careful before spending their precious Primogems upon the character.
