Want to learn how to create the best build for Kamisato Ayato in Genshin Impact<\/strong>? Kamisato Ayato<\/strong> joined Genshin Impact’s<\/strong> playable roster in Version 2.6, as the long-awaited head of Inazuma’s Kamisato<\/strong> clan and older brother to popular character Ayaka<\/strong>. As a Hydro<\/strong> sword wielder he’s basically a 5-star version of Xingqiu<\/strong>, who himself has the distinction of being one of the game’s best 4-star characters, suitable to take on a variety of roles. Ayato<\/strong> is similarly versatile, capable of carrying off a DPS or support role with equal aplomb.<\/p>\n

The best Genshin Impact Kamisato Ayato build<\/h2>\n

Best Genshin Impact Kamisato Ayato build for DPS or Hydro support<\/strong>
Best weapon: Haran Geppaku Futsu<\/strong>
Alternative: The Black Sword<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ayato’s<\/strong> strongest base talent is his Elemental Skill<\/strong>, but equip him with the right sword and he becomes a dab hand in normal melee combat as well. As is often the case with new characters, his ideal weapon is the Haran Geppaku Futsu<\/strong>, a new 5-star sword which debuted along with Ayato<\/strong> himself in Version 2.6. This sword could have been (and, realistically, probably was) designed with Ayato’s<\/strong> kit in mind: while he has it equipped, any character in the party using their Elemental Skill<\/strong> will stack Wavespike<\/strong> on Ayato for up to two stacks. Then, when Ayato uses his skill, Wavespike<\/strong> will be consumed to grant Rippling Upheaval<\/strong>, the effects of which will increase his normal attack DMG on a sliding scale for the next 8 seconds. Furthermore, Ayato will gain an across-the-board Elemental Damage<\/strong> bonus of at least 12% while he has this sword equipped.<\/p>\n

Desirable though the Haran Geppaku Futsu<\/strong> is, it’s an admittedly tall order to equip a brand-new 5-star character with a brand-new 5-star weapon. While it’s nowhere near as flashy, The Black Sword<\/strong> makes for a far more obtainable 4-star alternative. With it equipped, Ayato’s<\/strong> normal and charged attacks will deal at least 20% more damage; and upon scoring a critical hit, he’ll regenerate his health to the tune of at least 60% of his attack stat. Not a bad deal by any means.<\/p>\n

Best artifacts: Heart of Depth<\/strong>
Set bonuses:<\/p>\n

2 pieces: Hydro DMG +15%
4 pieces: After using Elemental Skill, Normal and Charged ATK DMG +30% for 15 seconds
There’s a clear winner for Ayato’s<\/strong> best artifact set, since Heart of Depth<\/strong> feeds into his talents beautifully for increased damage that will basically remain in effect for as long as he’s on the field. If you can’t get hold of four pieces of the set straight away, however, the next best alternative is to stick on as many as you have alongside two pieces from any set that boosts normal attack (e.g. Gladiator’s Finale<\/strong> or Echoes of an Offering, both of which add 18% ATK as their two-piece set bonuses).<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, you’ll want to prioritise many of the same areas when choosing which stats and substats you want to see on Ayato’s artifacts:<\/p>\n

Circlet of Logos: CRITs
Sands of Eon: ATK
Goblet of Eonothem: Hydro DMG Bonus
Substats: CRITs and ATK
Talent priority: Kamisato Art – Kyouka (Elemental Skill)
Secondary: Kamisato Art – Korobi (Normal Attack)<\/p>\n

It’s really worth developing all of Ayato’s<\/strong> talents, as there isn’t a dud in the bunch. However, I’ve recommended this priority based on the fact that this build focuses on his Elemental Burst<\/strong> a little bit less; although, if you’re leaning fully into his capacities as a Hydro<\/strong> support character, you can definitely put his Burst ahead of his Normal attack without sacrificing any of his strength. That being said, Ayato is one character I’d be quite happy to take the time and effort to triple crown.<\/p>\n
