I don't know if he changed the thumbnail, but the art is from Genshin Impact's official accounts on Twitter and RUclips, there's only one notable case where miHoYo posted art from another fanartist.
@@AngryLad_80 literally that whole drama has been debunked already. 'having bad anatomy' is such a wack argument to make for someone stealing something.
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.
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.
He dont have f2p weapnow . Ayato have raiden materials and enemy from inazuma wgose at low level is kinda hard his set of artifacts are kinda shitty Beter is yelan who is support dps and help exploration she have have easier enemies and her domain artefacts are kinda great for many characters
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
I am going to try and get him since I am new to the game and have fairly limited on field dps from my four star. A five star hydro on field dps who is flexible too is great to have.
@@butter4104i doubt hoyo will ever add a 4 star like xq again. i feel like they've realised how broken the early 4 stars are and wont make ones of similar calibre again
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
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
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.
I feel like this needs to be stated more often. Genshin isn't having something that will require you to always have top of the meta characters to clear. I am a new player and going to pull for ayato because I have no on field dps.
Why bother wasting 180 wishes for someone that got completely shat on by neuvilette lmao just pull neuvilette instead, atleast his kit is already powerful at c0 with 4 star weap
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzzbecause you like them. You dont need the "best" option in genshin ever. Ayato is good enough to clear everything as are most characters. If you're a 🤓 who needs the most optimized team for some reason, then you do you but its not relevant to ayato enjoyers or the abyss.
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.
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.
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.
I'm kinda surprised he didn't mention it too. I don't have it on my ayato that I've had since he released, but I've been thinking about it recently since it got added to strong box. I actually have a reason to have that set now 🤷♂️
@@smashusofficial1461you shouldn't use it if you have high ping, because the effect doesn't get triggered that often which will only lower the overall damage. Its damage is also not consistent as HoD and Gladiator, it could do 1 big damage with 1 slash but then next 2-3 slashes are gonna do quite a bit. Farming it is also pain on ass because the whole domain is a big scam
@NoName-bs2hq yup. Im well aware of that. I've normally got less than 30 ping. And you don't even have to farm it anymore. That's why I was surprised it wasn't at least mentioned since, you can strongbox all of it. It's still his BiS (although you're right, it depends on your ping)
Thank you for giving him some recognition, nobody appreciates him just because he's not a hyper carry. Hes my fav and so glad I have his C5, and planning on C6 ♥
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.
Candace has so much potential with hypercarry that does NA AOE atks like Ayato, too bad the aoe content of this game is so easy you won't notice the difference. Another reason is Ayato rarely being used as a hypercarry, his skill is just too short to take full advantage of buffs. If they release a hypercarry that does NA Aoe atks with longer duration, Candace's value will go up
I kind of have to agree with the Ayato-Yunjin pairing. I have c6 Yunjin and her attack speed boost is so satisfying on Ayato's skill! I haven't really thought of running him with Marechausee on Furina teams, that would be interesting to try, I feel like he would feel quite fluid with Jean. Lastly, you can dodge around when you're in his skill state, though it is a bit more clunky than normal. I think what i do is move plus dash to make him move, then it takes a split second for him go back into his stance so it does feel kind of janky. But at least you are not hard locked once you press E.
I pulled Ayato kind of impulsively on his last banner and I just slapped it on a Nilou team because I did not have any other good unit at the time for that role. For the longest time I have played that team with Nahida and Yaoyao and it slaps hard (not to mention it's slightly more F2P). Yaoyao's healing is more than enough, and since she applies dendro quite well during her burst, I don't feel like I'm loosing much not using Baizhu. I actually prefer Yaoyao (even though I have similarly invested Baizhu) because the aboslute minefield that she creates with Nahida and Ayato's burst is really really efficient, specially for aoe and Yuegui's constant healing is quite comfy.
If I were to start a new account, Ayato would be among my top picks to pull for. For an Established account however, there are better hydro chars for each role he can fill
Doesn’t Nev just makes everything he does, but better? Yeah, there are exceptions, but are those really worth to spend 140 wishes+ for Ayato?? Do you really want to spend 22400 primo gems for a slightly better burgeon team?
@@Uefeti yes literally half the point of this vid is that he's flexible and his burst has supportive capabilities, he's not the best but there are situations where he's viable as a support
Ayato, Furina, Xingqiu, Jean is carrying me in this Abyss. Honestly, Ayato's always my pick when clearing Floor 12 of the Abyss because he's just simple, and fun to play while also dealing great damage.
I have most of the 5 star and I still find myself going back to him and Itto. Easy, braindead, cool animations, cool lines, good dmg and sleeve bobba. What more can you ask?
An interesting teammate in light of Furina's release: Mika. Provides teamwide healing as well as attack speed. He works very well for a pseudo-freeze and mono hydro team with Ayato, Furina, Kazuha and Mika.
For me, Ayato is the king of multiwaves content like this event. His burst can cover almost all the arena so the circle impact is not that big of a deal, his flexibility and short rotation allow me to set up quickly and his dmg is also present, not as high as hypercarries but 15-20k aoe is pretty good for multiwaves content. I got like 15~16k points this event with Ayato Kazuha Xiangling Bennett.
I'm in the same boat. Started in 4.0. Ayato brings great value to an account due to his versatility. Veteran accounts won't benefit as much due to his lower ceiling.
@@freshness2569Mainly I can finally build a second team. I'm aiming to have Ayato in a Hyperbloom team with DMC, Kuki, and Yaoyao! I'm pretty new so my options are pretty limited 😅
TBH dude, kuki and yaoyao, dmc, are good off field for hyper, i think thats a good hyperbloom team you should be fine with almost any content with them @@gribberoni
My current Ayato team includes Layla, Raiden and Tighnari, as a quickswap Hyperbloom/Superconduct. It's great for area denial, because Ayato's burst and Layla's burst create an "active" freeze field, that keeps the enemy from moving much, and allowing Tighnari to hyperbloom everyone to death. You start with Ayato's Burst, followed by Layla's skill and burst, then Raiden's skill, and then Tighnari's skill, 3 CAs and burst, then back to Ayato for his skill and rapid hits. Rinse and repeat. The team should have enough energy regen to allow everyone to burst on cool down.
Some teams that i would say good for ayato are: 1. Ayathoma Burgeon Especially good with Thoma C6, buffing his NA as well 2. Hyper Ayato Ayato, with either Yunjin, Furina, Bennett, Kazuha, Jean *Thoma could also be use if he is C6 + with Sunfire, so he could proc vape properly 3. Ayato National Ayato - Xiangling - Kazuha - Bennett *Not as good as Childe, but at least much comfy 4. Ayato Nilou Bloom Nice since his AoE is so large and function nicely in Nilou's team quickswap playstyle, but you need to opt for EM, so yeah 5. Electrocharged For one of the best for Aoe, Beidou is great with him here, especially against 2 mobs
I was a huge Ayato simp at his launch and I tried with Furina and I can't recommend it for overworld because many enemies are good against monohydro. If you play Ayato do the good ol' Soup with Kazuha Fischl Bennett
Why not put a "jello impact" and your icon at the bottom right instead of a black bar covering the uid? It'll look nice and help people identify your content.
I started playing about a year ago and only liked playing pyro or cryo characters, now they are all benched and I’m mad about dendro and hydro. I’ve just pulled Ayato and love that he can fit so many teams, just need to get Nilou and Alhaitham and I’ll be happy 😊
@@urmadasf I'm running him with nobless focusing on hp an energy recharge. He can instant heal your team and the attack speed is nice. Also favonius for battery
Played for a long time but Ayato was one of the first characters that i had no personal attachment to that i enjoyed immensely. Its the fact he can work in so many ways even if not the peak of anything specifically, more importantly although his slashes are cool in truth a bit like Ganyu and her CA the main thing that sticks with you is the alt, but in his case if not the potential of say really invest Ganyu Melt of Ayaka Ganyu combos its hydro so by virtue it just does so much in so many scenarios. I tried Soup with Yae for a long time and i don't totally recommend it, but trying to pace all the characters together, skills, ults, all of that, is probably one the most difficult but rewarding things. With that being said you can just throw Kuki and or Thoma with Nahida on his team and react like there is no tomorrow and if not the most potent team in the world, probably one of the most potent f2p teams thats good enough to clear most anything for how simple but also visually spectacular it looks.
The best part about Ayato is that he fixes the "GanYu issue" with aiming and charged attacks for those who don't like this type of gameplay. Other than that, he is very similar to her in his kit. Although, the difference in gameplay is pretty big. For GanYu, being fast and constantly moving while aiming is the best part. For Ayato it is the opposite, he is stationary and therefore needs either a shield or freeze support. Both, preferably. Diona to the resque!
i like playing lyney but he needs more mats to ascend and a lot of my chars are underleveled.. i also have wayy too much trouble finding ascension mats
I love Ayato. I got him because I wanted Xingqiu in every team. Out of Xingqiu's kit, it was the hydro application that I most needed to copy. At the time I was deciding between Yelan, Kokomi, and Ayato. Went with Ayato because of his flexibility. Since then I got Neuvillette and Furina (sorry yelan... I swear you are next) and I still feel Ayato is the best choice for my best team which is hyperbloom with nahida and kuki with a flex spot (normally Zhongli). It is nice to have options though lol, now Xingiu just goes on national or raiden national, freeze, and burgeon or if I just want to throw him in as a fourth slot on some team, ayato has hyperbloom, and furina/neuvillette get to have fun.
This guy works haard! Always new vids! He deserves a sub! Tho i dnt usually agree with his tier list he always has new vids to entertain us, keep up the good work and more success. 🎉🎉🎉
Ayato’s gear versatility works for me since I like building up lots of characters (lots of overworld boss looting). I can make him stronger each time I get a favourable gladiator piece.
Ayato is still a main stay on my (full clear) abyss teams. I have him at c2, and am contemplating on getting him to c3 next banner. I also have c1 tortellini and i just find his timing windows wonky. gave him a shot for a few days and ayato just felt smoother to play in rotation. Also, I disagree that benny is wonky with him. He fits just fine as a rotation opener and can cast on time with no issues as Ayato stays on field for a 6 seconds. > bennett: E Q > nahida: Q E > fischl: Q, E > ayato,: Q, E > bennett: E Q repeat.
Ayato was my 2nd limited 5 star i got lucky on his banner after using my guaranteed on raiden and git his weapon at low pity too. He has carried me through the game till ar 57 rn and although i now have neuvillette, furina and yelan i still use him with vape in the abyss. And i love him
Thanks for this, the Childe and Neuvillette copium are killing me rn. They start comparing Ayato to Childe, Neuvillette and just goes silent when I ask them if they do off-field hydro application and work in literally every Hydro team ever.
@@heyyadarshhh who cares, want an off-field hydro char? xingqiu yelan furina ayato is just a caster minion compared to the rest easily forgettable character
I have him, as well as c1 yelan, c0 furina and c0 Neuvi. I'd say I'm set with hydros. Even tho he honestly has the lowest personal damage between those units, I end up using him in Abyss 99% of the times. He makes up for the smaller dmg with very short cooldowns, basically 100% ult uptime, decent stagger resistence (trust me: it feels way stronger than c0 Neuvi's even tho probably it's the same), and more importantly with the fact that even if you get interrupted his skill doesn't end there. You can dodge, be knocked down, and immediately resume slashing when you recover. Also, he is the easiest to use. Just hold E and enjoy (yeah, Neuvi too. But with Ayato you don't even need to aim). He is great with yelan+xq (Vergil intensifies) and absolutely nasty in hyperbloom and burgeon teams. And if you play him in electro-charged or hyperbloom teams, if you give him Thundering Fury you lose personal damage but you literally have 100% slashing uptime. It's so much fun. Ps. A surprisingly functioning team is 3hydro yoimiya with him, yelan, xq and yoimiya. You do ayato's skill during yoimiya's burst and viceversa, alternating xq and yelan between the two. You have 100% hydro swords/dices, you get a lot of vaporize hits with yoimiya's skill. Ayato's burst buffs both of their NA. Yoimiya's burst buffs ayato's attack. Yelan boosts everyone's damage up to 50%. Xq shreds hydro res and gives you minor healing and stagger resistance. If ayato has the black sword he basically heals himself. Use xq during yoimiya's skill and she gets healed. Xq and yelan can survive just fine since they're mostly off-field.
Isn't his signature set the Echoes one? Was it even mentioned? Thundering Fury Ayato is more fun than it has any right to be. With Beidou's ult the cooldown becomes 0 and you can cast two skills back-to-back which also times perfectly with the length of Beidous ult and pumps out some surprisingly high damage.
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz I know, I'm not arguing it's a great set, just that it should've been talked about. He brings up razor thin percentage margins between other sets and weapons, I just don't see a reason to omit the artefact set literally designed for him other than making an oopsie and forgetting it.
@@inflikktionHe tends to focus on efficiency in resin use for a lot of his recommendations in videos. The xiao/ayato domain is just that, purely for xiao and ayato. Unless these two specifically are the two main dpses you use the most, marachusse/ heart of depth/shimenawa and other sets are simply way more helpful/efficient to farm for more characters on most accounts.
I got Ayato unintentionally but not regrettably while trying for an extra Kuki. He'll fill a void in my teams since I previously didn't have enough hydro applicators to make a second Abyss team that needs one.
I had been waiting for Ayato since his last rerun was my first banner as a new player, and I really enjoyed how he felt not only in the recent dungeon event, but in his trial as well (even tho at the time i had NO IDEA what I was doing) but the banners had been ridiculously good to me lately and I had won my last 5 50/50s, getting C1R1 Neuvillette and C1 Furina (random Venti thrown in the middle there as well.) Neuvillette's weapon was a random 10 pull that came in at 31 pity, and 2 days ago I got Jean when i finally lost my 50/50 trying to get Furina's C2. Right now with a cracked Neuvillette, the vertical investment that would be required to to make Ayato as good as my Neuvillette wouldn't be nearly as rewarding as filling other niches where my account is lacking. Off field electro for the team i dont have kuki/Fischel on or off field dendro would probably be best for my acc now.
I don't have an on field hydro dps, I was planning on saving for navia, but I really want more kuki constellations and I need one more kirara one, so after watching this, as I'm low pity I'm going to pull on ayato's banner and of I end up getting him early I'd be okay with that
Do you really want to waste your guaranteed on Ayato tho? If you don’t have a guaranteed 50/50 that’s fine, but rolling an unwanted 5* char ain’t worth the Kuki/Kirara consts. You also don’t really “need” a hydro-dps, or a dps of every element
I love Ayato he works really well with a lot of teams! His overall damage isnt the highest but if you like vaporize teams that can change things for him! His damage sky rockets in vaporize comps. As for Navia I dont want to spoil you anything on her kit if you dont look at leaks, but I will say she isnt the best Geo option out there and I personally am dissapointed so I will be skipping. Was really looking forward to using her but alas sometimes characters get shafted😢
@@Uefeti No worries it is just a 50/50 I did have a guarantee but I used it on baizhu, depaite navia coming up, Nilou's still my most wanted character, so got Baizhu for future Nilou teams.( really enjoying him as a unit in his own right though) But yh I'm on kuki c1 and kirara c3 so they're both pretty important constellations, tbh I think I'd have been tempted to pull for them even if it was a guarantee, but, you probably would have talked some sense into me, but yh no worries, and thank you for the advice!
@@Cipher132 yeah I've been a bit disappointed by the navia kit leaks honestly, but I tend to take in in turns with my motivations for pulling a character. I'll pull for a character purely for meta or team building reasons. Then the next time I pull for a 5* it'll be just because I like them or their design, then back to meta and keep repeating that. Last 5* I got was a tactical one so I'm okay with pulling for navia even if she's not the best or she's a gun wielding character who can't aim up..... Okay that one might bother me aha
I think it is really important to understand if you are pulling ayato you will be getting a worse unit in general than neuvillette. If you like ayato, go for it, but especially in the current state of the game he just had ao much lower scalings. This is no mark on ayato's versitility, but a lot of that is still captured by neuvillette, plus neuvillette just does so so much more damage for the same artifact and team investment. I play both of them, with ayato being my first and for much longer and I just have to admit there's no team (unless you really love burgeon, which is more limited by burgeon units available and that could be fixed later anyway) where ayato makes sense anymore.
I think it’s unfair to compare any unit to neuvilette, he is just absurd. I know he is hydro and all but if your reason for not pulling for a character is “he’s not as good as neuvillete” then your not pulling for anyone anytime soon
I have Ayato for almost a year now. I have most of the better dps (except Neuvillette) but I keep coming back to Ayato due to the simple fact that his drip is SSS tier. Literally my favorite drip in the game.
The team I use with Ayato is based around buffing him as much as possible, with Bennet, Ayato, Xangling, and Candace. The pyro application to allow him to vape his hits and Candace instead of a Yun Jin since her huff is capped at 30 hits and if you’re hitting multiple targets you can hit that cap, and Candace dosent have a cap like that on her N.A. buff.
Ayato was my first 5 star but I still to this day have no idea how to make him good. He only does about 4-5 k per slash, 7-8 maximum dmg on his own and it really frustrates me. I at first thought he didn't have enough crit dmg, so I gave him more crit dmg, then I tried adding more crit rate, then more hydro dmg bonus but nothing worked. I use his signature set (I don't remember the name) that is found in the chasm domain so maybe I should try to farm heart of depth instead? I also only have harbinger of dawn as his weapon so I should probably switch that one too for something else. I want hs signature weapon but I don't know if it's worth it. Does it increase his dmg a lot?
I think you lack atk on him, try getting at least 2k atk, with 70/160~200 crit ratio and he'll deal around 9-10k no buffs, and can rack up to 30k with a hypercarry team
This was the same for me until I realized I should use him with different characters. In the recent combat event I randomly was doing 20k+ using my own ayato because of vaporoize. Honestly I don’t have many pyro characters and I refuse to use xiangling but made me realize I should invest in pyro characters. I use the isshin sword from kazuhas quest on him too
tbh i like ayato hp scalling is potitive cause he can use the flower main stat but childe cant. neuvi cant benefit from the feather main stat. he just use both atk and hp, even though the other 2 have high potential and higher damage respectively. ayato has less strict artifact farming
Ended up pulling Ayato with 0 pity when trying to get Kuki cons. Always loved the trials where I got to use him so not bad, but feels bad cause I just wanted 4*s when I had no pity. Lol.
Noelle guide? Wife loves her as her main(co op mostly) and weve been watching alot lately just for inspiration on ideas and brainstorming, great vid btw
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.
I've been so tempted to pull him because I've had Black sword forever now and no one really uses it because all my sword users are like.... Supports. And I have an amazing Glad set for him if he does come home.
He’s incredibly flexible and feels great in vape, hyperbloom, electrocharged and now freeze in a Furina/Charlotte/Kazuha comp. However, I think he is the best character to slot in a Nilou bloom comp that doesn’t utilize Kokomi. He has better aoe hydro application than Kokomi overall and C6 Yaoyao just feels so good in a Nilou bloom comp, who is redundant in a Kokomi comp. In this comp, the paradise lost set is optimal because he will own a majority of the blooms. The only one you wouldn’t use paradise lost in this comp is Nahida as you need to reduce dendro res and hydro will own more if not all the bloom procs.
I'm getting him because he looks fun to play, and maybe cause a lot of people compare him to Vergil... but totally the first reason, yep, without a doubt, for sure 😅
Try using Ayto with Yunjin Jean and Furina...it's a broken team comp...My Ayato is doing 30K and above each slash after all the buffs are active...He is on Harran and HOD BTW.
@@Lily-cd6gu thats below average lmao thats with sig weap too and full buffs from yunjin and furina, 450k is the same dmg as a xiao with just bennett and fav lance its also 450k dmg lololol
I love Ayato but if Ayaka is indeed coming in 4.3 I'll have to skip him, specially because I already have Kokomi and Yelan so I'm pretty covered for Hydro 🌀💧
@@pwehmoo8159same here. Her dash is quite annoying to use especially when you're in the middle of a fight. It doesn't feel like you're dodging when you sprint, which felt terrible in term of gameplay especially when you wield a katana to slash your enemy.
Childe - AOE Driver with higher ceiling and usually on Vape Neuvillette - Hypercarry Yelan and Xingqiu - Off field single target Mona - Buffer and Nuke Furina - Buffer and Off field single and minor AOE Ayato - Consistent AOE Driver with Low CD but lower total damage My favorite is Nilou-Ayato (with Nahida and Baizhu) Bloom.

you dont speak of the value of the cool factor of ayato, with who else will i litsen to my Devil May Cry ost mix playlist while playing? ofc it would be Ayato! I AM THE STROM THAT IS APROOOOOOOACHING!!!!
The only thing i wish Ayato had was not only a cooler/better basic charged attack, but a bit longer ultimate duration. Like a +3/5s uptime so he could become even more flexible and actually a solid choice for off-field hydro. Also, a Crowd control Anemo unit that boosted atk speed (rework venti?) would elevate his gameplay and damage potentical a lot to compete to the likes of Neuvillete and future characters/compositions.
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

They seriously need to add more hydro 4 stars. All my teams are fighting over my xingqiu cuz I have no one else better
@@butter4104i doubt hoyo will ever add a 4 star like xq again. i feel like they've realised how broken the early 4 stars are and wont make ones of similar calibre again
@@butter4104 if you think about it layla's stars from E shield apply cryo as you auto so maybe try her in melt as a cryo xinqiu
@@Schminkerdoodlethey need more like barbara😭
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
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
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
Right? Plus her design is great. also, i'm into Mona Furina Ayato too. Só much energy and buffs!
Found one of my kind. ❤
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.
I feel like this needs to be stated more often. Genshin isn't having something that will require you to always have top of the meta characters to clear. I am a new player and going to pull for ayato because I have no on field dps.
Why bother wasting 180 wishes for someone that got completely shat on by neuvilette lmao just pull neuvilette instead, atleast his kit is already powerful at c0 with 4 star weap
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzzbecause you like them. You dont need the "best" option in genshin ever. Ayato is good enough to clear everything as are most characters.
If you're a 🤓 who needs the most optimized team for some reason, then you do you but its not relevant to ayato enjoyers or the abyss.
@@lawfulgoodnun1646keep crying that your stickman got powercrept by neuvilette
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.
I appreciate you going over the sample rotations. More things like this in some recommended teams is very helpful.
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
the only other hydro i have is xingqiu😭 (he is broken HE LITERALLY CARRIES MOST OF MY DPS UNITS-)
I also have him but never used him is he good@@randomness.stupidness
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.
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.
I also have 55 pity. I'm guaranteed though, which is kinda sad cuz I never won a single 50-50. Still, it's a blessing nonetheless.
@@ignis9265 and i won all the 4 50/50s that i pulled so there is less chance of winning this time i guess.
I have him with nahida kuki and electro traveller. It feels like nahida does the most damage sometimes but it’s very fun
@@sheepsong5681 Oww. Nahida is just super op. Wish I had her.
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.
Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't even give it a mention. It's supposed to be his signature set.
It also needs good ping 🤷🏽♀️
I'm kinda surprised he didn't mention it too. I don't have it on my ayato that I've had since he released, but I've been thinking about it recently since it got added to strong box. I actually have a reason to have that set now 🤷♂️
@@smashusofficial1461you shouldn't use it if you have high ping, because the effect doesn't get triggered that often which will only lower the overall damage. Its damage is also not consistent as HoD and Gladiator, it could do 1 big damage with 1 slash but then next 2-3 slashes are gonna do quite a bit. Farming it is also pain on ass because the whole domain is a big scam
@NoName-bs2hq yup. Im well aware of that. I've normally got less than 30 ping. And you don't even have to farm it anymore. That's why I was surprised it wasn't at least mentioned since, you can strongbox all of it. It's still his BiS (although you're right, it depends on your ping)
Thank you for giving him some recognition, nobody appreciates him just because he's not a hyper carry.
Hes my fav and so glad I have his C5, and planning on C6 ♥
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.
Candace has so much potential with hypercarry that does NA AOE atks like Ayato, too bad the aoe content of this game is so easy you won't notice the difference. Another reason is Ayato rarely being used as a hypercarry, his skill is just too short to take full advantage of buffs. If they release a hypercarry that does NA Aoe atks with longer duration, Candace's value will go up
I kind of have to agree with the Ayato-Yunjin pairing. I have c6 Yunjin and her attack speed boost is so satisfying on Ayato's skill! I haven't really thought of running him with Marechausee on Furina teams, that would be interesting to try, I feel like he would feel quite fluid with Jean. Lastly, you can dodge around when you're in his skill state, though it is a bit more clunky than normal. I think what i do is move plus dash to make him move, then it takes a split second for him go back into his stance so it does feel kind of janky. But at least you are not hard locked once you press E.
as a non yunjin haver i wish i had yunjin shes literally one pf my favorite characters
I pulled Ayato kind of impulsively on his last banner and I just slapped it on a Nilou team because I did not have any other good unit at the time for that role. For the longest time I have played that team with Nahida and Yaoyao and it slaps hard (not to mention it's slightly more F2P). Yaoyao's healing is more than enough, and since she applies dendro quite well during her burst, I don't feel like I'm loosing much not using Baizhu. I actually prefer Yaoyao (even though I have similarly invested Baizhu) because the aboslute minefield that she creates with Nahida and Ayato's burst is really really efficient, specially for aoe and Yuegui's constant healing is quite comfy.
Thanks for the guide man! Gonna gun for Ayato’s rerun in 4.2, wish me luck!
If I were to start a new account, Ayato would be among my top picks to pull for. For an Established account however, there are better hydro chars for each role he can fill
Doesn’t Nev just makes everything he does, but better?
Yeah, there are exceptions, but are those really worth to spend 140 wishes+ for Ayato??
Do you really want to spend 22400 primo gems for a slightly better burgeon team?
@@Uefetinuevillete doesn't have off field application
@@homuhomu8373
Would you really play Ayato specifically as your Off-Fielder tho?
@@Uefeti yes literally half the point of this vid is that he's flexible and his burst has supportive capabilities, he's not the best but there are situations where he's viable as a support
@@homuhomu8373ok and ayato doesnt have 100% uptime on hydro lmfao, his hydro application after his skill is gone is pretty much non existant,
6:10 not the lvl 40 childe😭💀
Ayato, Furina, Xingqiu, Jean is carrying me in this Abyss. Honestly, Ayato's always my pick when clearing Floor 12 of the Abyss because he's just simple, and fun to play while also dealing great damage.
I have most of the 5 star and I still find myself going back to him and Itto. Easy, braindead, cool animations, cool lines, good dmg and sleeve bobba. What more can you ask?
So happy to hear my Ayato Thoma Baizhu burgeon core wasn’t total nonsense!!
The thumbnail art kinda giving me old school SMT/Persona vibes; I think it’s the lips. Thanks for this video!
An interesting teammate in light of Furina's release: Mika. Provides teamwide healing as well as attack speed. He works very well for a pseudo-freeze and mono hydro team with Ayato, Furina, Kazuha and Mika.
For me, Ayato is the king of multiwaves content like this event. His burst can cover almost all the arena so the circle impact is not that big of a deal, his flexibility and short rotation allow me to set up quickly and his dmg is also present, not as high as hypercarries but 15-20k aoe is pretty good for multiwaves content. I got like 15~16k points this event with Ayato Kazuha Xiangling Bennett.
But can't beat childe tho😂😂 in international.
Thank you for this ayato guide I needed it❤
Not "Mariachi band" set 💀😭🤣
I'm a relatively new account so I'm very excited to roll for him! He opens up so many teams for me, I hope I can get him tomorrow!
What teams open up for you ?
I'm in the same boat. Started in 4.0. Ayato brings great value to an account due to his versatility. Veteran accounts won't benefit as much due to his lower ceiling.
@@freshness2569Mainly I can finally build a second team. I'm aiming to have Ayato in a Hyperbloom team with DMC, Kuki, and Yaoyao!
I'm pretty new so my options are pretty limited 😅
TBH dude, kuki and yaoyao, dmc, are good off field for hyper, i think thats a good hyperbloom team you should be fine with almost any content with them
@@gribberoni
My current Ayato team includes Layla, Raiden and Tighnari, as a quickswap Hyperbloom/Superconduct.
It's great for area denial, because Ayato's burst and Layla's burst create an "active" freeze field, that keeps the enemy from moving much, and allowing Tighnari to hyperbloom everyone to death.
You start with Ayato's Burst, followed by Layla's skill and burst, then Raiden's skill, and then Tighnari's skill, 3 CAs and burst, then back to Ayato for his skill and rapid hits. Rinse and repeat.
The team should have enough energy regen to allow everyone to burst on cool down.
Some teams that i would say good for ayato are:
1. Ayathoma Burgeon
Especially good with Thoma C6, buffing his NA as well
2. Hyper Ayato
Ayato, with either Yunjin, Furina, Bennett, Kazuha, Jean
*Thoma could also be use if he is C6 + with Sunfire, so he could proc vape properly
3. Ayato National
Ayato - Xiangling - Kazuha - Bennett
*Not as good as Childe, but at least much comfy
4. Ayato Nilou Bloom
Nice since his AoE is so large and function nicely in Nilou's team quickswap playstyle, but you need to opt for EM, so yeah
5. Electrocharged
For one of the best for Aoe, Beidou is great with him here, especially against 2 mobs
He is amazing, very comfortable play style. ❤❤❤
jack of all trades master of none.
I was a huge Ayato simp at his launch and I tried with Furina and I can't recommend it for overworld because many enemies are good against monohydro. If you play Ayato do the good ol' Soup with Kazuha Fischl Bennett
I tried using monohydro against the oceanid in Liyue once 😓
Well I was aiming for Kuki and I got her AND Ayato at 3 pity. Thanks for the guide!
Why not put a "jello impact" and your icon at the bottom right instead of a black bar covering the uid? It'll look nice and help people identify your content.
Me, with 0 intention to pull for him: Mmmh, very interesting!
Lmao, I love your vids you're so good at explaining
I started playing about a year ago and only liked playing pyro or cryo characters, now they are all benched and I’m mad about dendro and hydro. I’ve just pulled Ayato and love that he can fit so many teams, just need to get Nilou and Alhaitham and I’ll be happy 😊
Ayato main since his release
I use him with traveller,miko&bennett
Ayato,Furina,Kazuha, Mika is a team I found really fun and comfy rotation wise.
That sounds fun..might try it out
Ooooooh i see what you did there, what artifact set do you have on mika? Sounds like a fun comp
@@urmadasf I'm running him with nobless focusing on hp an energy recharge. He can instant heal your team and the attack speed is nice. Also favonius for battery
@@qienriot thank you! Unfortunately i dont have a spare noblesse set but thats an ez fix
How much ER should furina have? Mine only has 105
Hey, can I ask you what artifacts do you use for Ayato with this team?
Beautiful thumbnail
Played for a long time but Ayato was one of the first characters that i had no personal attachment to that i enjoyed immensely. Its the fact he can work in so many ways even if not the peak of anything specifically, more importantly although his slashes are cool in truth a bit like Ganyu and her CA the main thing that sticks with you is the alt, but in his case if not the potential of say really invest Ganyu Melt of Ayaka Ganyu combos its hydro so by virtue it just does so much in so many scenarios.
I tried Soup with Yae for a long time and i don't totally recommend it, but trying to pace all the characters together, skills, ults, all of that, is probably one the most difficult but rewarding things. With that being said you can just throw Kuki and or Thoma with Nahida on his team and react like there is no tomorrow and if not the most potent team in the world, probably one of the most potent f2p teams thats good enough to clear most anything for how simple but also visually spectacular it looks.
The best part about Ayato is that he fixes the "GanYu issue" with aiming and charged attacks for those who don't like this type of gameplay. Other than that, he is very similar to her in his kit. Although, the difference in gameplay is pretty big. For GanYu, being fast and constantly moving while aiming is the best part. For Ayato it is the opposite, he is stationary and therefore needs either a shield or freeze support. Both, preferably. Diona to the resque!
i like playing lyney but he needs more mats to ascend and a lot of my chars are underleveled.. i also have wayy too much trouble finding ascension mats
I love Ayato. I got him because I wanted Xingqiu in every team. Out of Xingqiu's kit, it was the hydro application that I most needed to copy. At the time I was deciding between Yelan, Kokomi, and Ayato. Went with Ayato because of his flexibility. Since then I got Neuvillette and Furina (sorry yelan... I swear you are next) and I still feel Ayato is the best choice for my best team which is hyperbloom with nahida and kuki with a flex spot (normally Zhongli). It is nice to have options though lol, now Xingiu just goes on national or raiden national, freeze, and burgeon or if I just want to throw him in as a fourth slot on some team, ayato has hyperbloom, and furina/neuvillette get to have fun.
Ayato’s cooldowns pair well with Fischl and Yae, which is good for electro-charged, and with kuki for hyperbloom
This guy works haard! Always new vids! He deserves a sub! Tho i dnt usually agree with his tier list he always has new vids to entertain us, keep up the good work and more success. 🎉🎉🎉
Ayato is the ideal role consolidation for a main DPS but he doesn't have the damage to become a backbone of any team
love the review bro keep up the good work 😊
Ayato’s gear versatility works for me since I like building up lots of characters (lots of overworld boss looting). I can make him stronger each time I get a favourable gladiator piece.
WAS WAITING FOR THISS😭😭🙏
I plan to grab him next time he reruns. I wonder if he is decent on a hyperbloom team.
Hopefully he is an upgrade to Xingqiu in this manner.
Just think of him as aoe on field xingqiu basically
Ayato is still a main stay on my (full clear) abyss teams. I have him at c2, and am contemplating on getting him to c3 next banner.
I also have c1 tortellini and i just find his timing windows wonky. gave him a shot for a few days and ayato just felt smoother to play in rotation.
Also, I disagree that benny is wonky with him. He fits just fine as a rotation opener and can cast on time with no issues as Ayato stays on field for a 6 seconds.
> bennett: E Q
> nahida: Q E
> fischl: Q, E
> ayato,: Q, E
> bennett: E Q
repeat.
Ayato was my 2nd limited 5 star i got lucky on his banner after using my guaranteed on raiden and git his weapon at low pity too. He has carried me through the game till ar 57 rn and although i now have neuvillette, furina and yelan i still use him with vape in the abyss. And i love him
Jack of all trades, master of none.
The only hydro unit i do not need.
Yup childe better
Thanks for this, the Childe and Neuvillette copium are killing me rn. They start comparing Ayato to Childe, Neuvillette and just goes silent when I ask them if they do off-field hydro application and work in literally every Hydro team ever.
Lmao what hydro application, childe got riptides and long onfield time, neuvillette has 100% uptime on application and actually does dmg unlike ayato
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz so you know what "OFFFIELD" is?
@@heyyadarshhh who cares, want an off-field hydro char? xingqiu yelan furina ayato is just a caster minion compared to the rest easily forgettable character
Bro I didnt even want him and I got him at 20 pity and no guarantee🤦🏽♂️
I have him, as well as c1 yelan, c0 furina and c0 Neuvi. I'd say I'm set with hydros. Even tho he honestly has the lowest personal damage between those units, I end up using him in Abyss 99% of the times.
He makes up for the smaller dmg with very short cooldowns, basically 100% ult uptime, decent stagger resistence (trust me: it feels way stronger than c0 Neuvi's even tho probably it's the same), and more importantly with the fact that even if you get interrupted his skill doesn't end there. You can dodge, be knocked down, and immediately resume slashing when you recover.
Also, he is the easiest to use. Just hold E and enjoy (yeah, Neuvi too. But with Ayato you don't even need to aim).
He is great with yelan+xq (Vergil intensifies) and absolutely nasty in hyperbloom and burgeon teams.
And if you play him in electro-charged or hyperbloom teams, if you give him Thundering Fury you lose personal damage but you literally have 100% slashing uptime. It's so much fun.
Ps. A surprisingly functioning team is 3hydro yoimiya with him, yelan, xq and yoimiya. You do ayato's skill during yoimiya's burst and viceversa, alternating xq and yelan between the two. You have 100% hydro swords/dices, you get a lot of vaporize hits with yoimiya's skill. Ayato's burst buffs both of their NA. Yoimiya's burst buffs ayato's attack. Yelan boosts everyone's damage up to 50%. Xq shreds hydro res and gives you minor healing and stagger resistance. If ayato has the black sword he basically heals himself. Use xq during yoimiya's skill and she gets healed. Xq and yelan can survive just fine since they're mostly off-field.
I always thought about getting him, but with Yelan+Furina+Xingqui, he's just not the right missing piece for me.
Isn't his signature set the Echoes one? Was it even mentioned?
Thundering Fury Ayato is more fun than it has any right to be. With Beidou's ult the cooldown becomes 0 and you can cast two skills back-to-back which also times perfectly with the length of Beidous ult and pumps out some surprisingly high damage.
i think it isn't mentioned because it's very ping dependant.
@@usmanya5110 Pretty sure he just forgot. No reason not to mention it and go over it's ping issues, it's literally the set made for him.
@@inflikktionits like a 5% difference compared to 4pc Glad anyways
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz I know, I'm not arguing it's a great set, just that it should've been talked about. He brings up razor thin percentage margins between other sets and weapons, I just don't see a reason to omit the artefact set literally designed for him other than making an oopsie and forgetting it.
@@inflikktionHe tends to focus on efficiency in resin use for a lot of his recommendations in videos. The xiao/ayato domain is just that, purely for xiao and ayato. Unless these two specifically are the two main dpses you use the most, marachusse/ heart of depth/shimenawa and other sets are simply way more helpful/efficient to farm for more characters on most accounts.
Got him by accident but he's so fun to play I'm happy!
Gotta be honest, now that I have C1R1 Neuvillette, C2 Furina, C6 Xinqiu, etc, yeaah, I kinda regret getting C0R1 Ayato.
I got Ayato unintentionally but not regrettably while trying for an extra Kuki. He'll fill a void in my teams since I previously didn't have enough hydro applicators to make a second Abyss team that needs one.
Atleast you didn't het a qiqi or cyno
I got my first Qiqi a couple of patches ago actually 😂
I got so lucky and pulled him and Kuki after 20 wishes, now Im leveling him up and putting together teams for him. I love his attacks though
You could say that Ayato’s pull value gets diluted the more 5 star hydro characters you have
This, I made a rule for my self to always get every Hydro character, if I had to say that I regret getting any character it would be him...
You can always get more power through artifacts, but not enjoyment. Also, consistency is king, and for those reasons, I'll be pulling him.
I had been waiting for Ayato since his last rerun was my first banner as a new player, and I really enjoyed how he felt not only in the recent dungeon event, but in his trial as well (even tho at the time i had NO IDEA what I was doing) but the banners had been ridiculously good to me lately and I had won my last 5 50/50s, getting C1R1 Neuvillette and C1 Furina (random Venti thrown in the middle there as well.) Neuvillette's weapon was a random 10 pull that came in at 31 pity, and 2 days ago I got Jean when i finally lost my 50/50 trying to get Furina's C2. Right now with a cracked Neuvillette, the vertical investment that would be required to to make Ayato as good as my Neuvillette wouldn't be nearly as rewarding as filling other niches where my account is lacking. Off field electro for the team i dont have kuki/Fischel on or off field dendro would probably be best for my acc now.
Thank you bro thankyou so much this was the gideo i ak waiting for ❤❤❤❤❤
I don't have an on field hydro dps, I was planning on saving for navia, but I really want more kuki constellations and I need one more kirara one, so after watching this, as I'm low pity I'm going to pull on ayato's banner and of I end up getting him early I'd be okay with that
Do you really want to waste your guaranteed on Ayato tho?
If you don’t have a guaranteed 50/50 that’s fine, but rolling an unwanted 5* char ain’t worth the Kuki/Kirara consts.
You also don’t really “need” a hydro-dps, or a dps of every element
I love Ayato he works really well with a lot of teams! His overall damage isnt the highest but if you like vaporize teams that can change things for him! His damage sky rockets in vaporize comps. As for Navia I dont want to spoil you anything on her kit if you dont look at leaks, but I will say she isnt the best Geo option out there and I personally am dissapointed so I will be skipping. Was really looking forward to using her but alas sometimes characters get shafted😢
@@Uefeti No worries it is just a 50/50
I did have a guarantee but I used it on baizhu, depaite navia coming up, Nilou's still my most wanted character, so got Baizhu for future Nilou teams.( really enjoying him as a unit in his own right though)
But yh I'm on kuki c1 and kirara c3 so they're both pretty important constellations, tbh I think I'd have been tempted to pull for them even if it was a guarantee, but, you probably would have talked some sense into me, but yh no worries, and thank you for the advice!
@@Cipher132 yeah I've been a bit disappointed by the navia kit leaks honestly, but I tend to take in in turns with my motivations for pulling a character. I'll pull for a character purely for meta or team building reasons. Then the next time I pull for a 5* it'll be just because I like them or their design, then back to meta and keep repeating that.
Last 5* I got was a tactical one so I'm okay with pulling for navia even if she's not the best or she's a gun wielding character who can't aim up..... Okay that one might bother me aha
Got this man on accident while pulling for Kirara cons ( literally after my Furina pulls)
3:19 Does it have to be Kazuha? Because I don't have him but I have Venti and Sucrose
I think it is really important to understand if you are pulling ayato you will be getting a worse unit in general than neuvillette. If you like ayato, go for it, but especially in the current state of the game he just had ao much lower scalings. This is no mark on ayato's versitility, but a lot of that is still captured by neuvillette, plus neuvillette just does so so much more damage for the same artifact and team investment. I play both of them, with ayato being my first and for much longer and I just have to admit there's no team (unless you really love burgeon, which is more limited by burgeon units available and that could be fixed later anyway) where ayato makes sense anymore.
I think it’s unfair to compare any unit to neuvilette, he is just absurd.
I know he is hydro and all but if your reason for not pulling for a character is “he’s not as good as neuvillete” then your not pulling for anyone anytime soon
I have Ayato for almost a year now. I have most of the better dps (except Neuvillette) but I keep coming back to Ayato due to the simple fact that his drip is SSS tier. Literally my favorite drip in the game.
What a sexy thumbnail :0
The team I use with Ayato is based around buffing him as much as possible, with Bennet, Ayato, Xangling, and Candace. The pyro application to allow him to vape his hits and Candace instead of a Yun Jin since her huff is capped at 30 hits and if you’re hitting multiple targets you can hit that cap, and Candace dosent have a cap like that on her N.A. buff.
Ayato was my first 5 star but I still to this day have no idea how to make him good. He only does about 4-5 k per slash, 7-8 maximum dmg on his own and it really frustrates me. I at first thought he didn't have enough crit dmg, so I gave him more crit dmg, then I tried adding more crit rate, then more hydro dmg bonus but nothing worked. I use his signature set (I don't remember the name) that is found in the chasm domain so maybe I should try to farm heart of depth instead? I also only have harbinger of dawn as his weapon so I should probably switch that one too for something else. I want hs signature weapon but I don't know if it's worth it. Does it increase his dmg a lot?
I think you lack atk on him, try getting at least 2k atk, with 70/160~200 crit ratio and he'll deal around 9-10k no buffs, and can rack up to 30k with a hypercarry team
This was the same for me until I realized I should use him with different characters. In the recent combat event I randomly was doing 20k+ using my own ayato because of vaporoize. Honestly I don’t have many pyro characters and I refuse to use xiangling but made me realize I should invest in pyro characters. I use the isshin sword from kazuhas quest on him too
tbh i like ayato hp scalling is potitive cause he can use the flower main stat but childe cant. neuvi cant benefit from the feather main stat. he just use both atk and hp, even though the other 2 have high potential and higher damage respectively. ayato has less strict artifact farming
Excited for the collei guide
nice video jelloboy
imagine if he puns this comment
Just got this husbando and he is amazing!!! I was a main Neuvillete but Ayato's gameplay is the best for me..he is fast and easy and fun... ❤❤❤❤❤
As someone who loves building lots of characters and i only have mona in terms of hydro 5 stars ayato sounds pretty cool.
Ended up pulling Ayato with 0 pity when trying to get Kuki cons. Always loved the trials where I got to use him so not bad, but feels bad cause I just wanted 4*s when I had no pity. Lol.
Noelle guide? Wife loves her as her main(co op mostly) and weve been watching alot lately just for inspiration on ideas and brainstorming, great vid btw
my ayato was top 15% with a 4 star gobblet, after I got a 5 star one he's now top 3% on akasha
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.
Yup
I've been so tempted to pull him because I've had Black sword forever now and no one really uses it because all my sword users are like.... Supports. And I have an amazing Glad set for him if he does come home.
He’s incredibly flexible and feels great in vape, hyperbloom, electrocharged and now freeze in a Furina/Charlotte/Kazuha comp. However, I think he is the best character to slot in a Nilou bloom comp that doesn’t utilize Kokomi. He has better aoe hydro application than Kokomi overall and C6 Yaoyao just feels so good in a Nilou bloom comp, who is redundant in a Kokomi comp. In this comp, the paradise lost set is optimal because he will own a majority of the blooms. The only one you wouldn’t use paradise lost in this comp is Nahida as you need to reduce dendro res and hydro will own more if not all the bloom procs.
I'm getting him because he looks fun to play, and maybe cause a lot of people compare him to Vergil... but totally the first reason, yep, without a doubt, for sure 😅
Wellp. Tine to watch this video seriously again.... Messed up when going for C2 kuki
Try using Ayto with Yunjin Jean and Furina...it's a broken team comp...My Ayato is doing 30K and above each slash after all the buffs are active...He is on Harran and HOD BTW.
That's not very good lmao
Yunjin is useless in his team since her stack get consumed per enemy and 30k with signature is rather mid damage
@qwertysysysyysysysyzz how's 30k per slash bad when he does 15 slashes which is 450k total dmg and if its c0 ayato that's pretty good
@@irena4929if it's yunjin c6 not really cause she increases his speed but idk since op didn't specify her con
@@Lily-cd6gu thats below average lmao thats with sig weap too and full buffs from yunjin and furina, 450k is the same dmg as a xiao with just bennett and fav lance its also 450k dmg lololol
I'm watching this video in the event that I get Ayato jumpscared while pulling for Kirara & Kuki
I love Ayato but if Ayaka is indeed coming in 4.3 I'll have to skip him, specially because I already have Kokomi and Yelan so I'm pretty covered for Hydro 🌀💧
I can understand this.... I find Ayaka more fun to play with cause of how her kit is set up (and her alt dash skill... mainly the frost stride thing)
@@bartofiiI for sum reason hate playing ayaka 😅
@@pwehmoo8159same here. Her dash is quite annoying to use especially when you're in the middle of a fight. It doesn't feel like you're dodging when you sprint, which felt terrible in term of gameplay especially when you wield a katana to slash your enemy.
@@zeroanime01 yah I think that’s my problem with her unfortunately
Childe - AOE Driver with higher ceiling and usually on Vape
Neuvillette - Hypercarry
Yelan and Xingqiu - Off field single target
Mona - Buffer and Nuke
Furina - Buffer and Off field single and minor AOE
Ayato - Consistent AOE Driver with Low CD but lower total damage
My favorite is Nilou-Ayato (with Nahida and Baizhu) Bloom. Ayato alleviates the need for grouper
you dont speak of the value of the cool factor of ayato, with who else will i litsen to my Devil May Cry ost mix playlist while playing? ofc it would be Ayato!
I AM THE STROM THAT IS APROOOOOOOACHING!!!!
Bro he seems so cool but my heart simply screams Navia ever since I let her in the AQ, though decisions have to be made in life😭
Jack of all trades, master of none!!
Its inverse
The only thing i wish Ayato had was not only a cooler/better basic charged attack, but a bit longer ultimate duration. Like a +3/5s uptime so he could become even more flexible and actually a solid choice for off-field hydro. Also, a Crowd control Anemo unit that boosted atk speed (rework venti?) would elevate his gameplay and damage potentical a lot to compete to the likes of Neuvillete and future characters/compositions.
18s burst is plenty, considering the cd is 20s, it's almost 100% uptime. Only archons have a longer skill duration, otherwise it's capped at 18s
I got C0 and C1 Ayato in just 10 pulls! I won my 50/50 twice! I'm so happy!
