What is Ayato Genshin Impact’s best role? Ayato is a sword-wielding hydro user with some interesting utility. His kit offers great off-field hydro application, along with some high-impact bursts of on-field damage that can be devastating to both single targets and groups. His kit is very unique and allows him to excel in both burst sub-DPS and main DPS roles, as well as seeing him slot into both standard and quick-swap rotations. Read on to find out more about both DPS and sub-DPS Ayato builds.
What’s the best Genshin Impact Ayato build for DPS? Ayato has the potential to deal a lot of damage if you capitalise on his elemental skill, Kamisato Art: Kyouka. This skill leaves behind a watery illusion, which explodes and deals AoE hydro damage. It also increases the speed of his normal attacks and converts them into AoE hydro damage. Additionally, every time his Shunsuiken deals damage to an enemy, he gains a stack of Namisen, which increases his damage based on his max HP.
In short, in order to make the most of Ayato as a main DPS, you’ll want to ensure you have his elemental skill active as often as possible. We also recommend you build him with as much normal attack damage as you can, and make sure his health is at a decent level to help him live up to his high DPS potential.
The best Genshin Impact Ayato DPS artifacts Keeping the above in mind, you’ve got two main choices for artifact sets. If you want to use him as a hydro-focused DPS (for example, in an electro-charged, permafreeze, hyperbloom, or vaporize team comp) it’s best to go with Heart of Depth. This set is considered the most consistent choice for him, as it provides a boost to Ayato’s hydro damage, and increases his normal and charged attack damage after using an elemental skill, which compliments his skill and attack rotation.
The second option is Echoes of an Offering. This one has a very unique skill that seemingly is designed to complement Ayato’s kit, due to it suiting characters who capitalise on normal attacks. It does offer less stable DPS than Heart of Depth with only occasional substantial procs. Echoes of an Offering is still a good choice, but we recommend only farming it if you have Genshin Impact’s Xiao and are hoping to get the new Vermillion Hereafter set for him at the same time. If you happen to pull a set of Echoes of an Offering with better sub-stats than your Heart of Depth pieces, you should use that on Ayato.
Alternatively, you can go for Gladiator’s Finale which is a pretty easy set to obtain and focuses solely on increased Ayato’s damage. Nothing wrong with a bit of extra bang for your buck.
Artifact set Effect How to get
Heart of Depth
Two equipped: Hydro damage +15%
Four equipped: Increases normal and charged attack damage after using an elemental skill by 30% for 15 seconds

This trigger can occur once every 0.2 seconds

Artifact stat and sub-stat priorities When building DPS Ayato, you should aim to use artifacts with the following stats and sub-stats if possible.
Main stats:

Sub-stats:

The best weapon for Genshin Impact Ayato as a DPS Naturally, the best weapon for DPS Ayato at the moment is Haran Geppaku Futsu, a new sword that was tailor-made for him. It’s available on the weapon event banner that runs alongside him. Alternatively, Mistsplitter Reforged, Summit Shaper, and Primordial Jade Cutter are great choices.
If you’re looking for the best four-star weapon for Ayato, the Black Sword from the battle pass is a brilliant option. And, if you have none of the above, you can also use the three-star Harbinger of Dawn as a placeholder until you’ve got something better.
Lion’s Roar is also an interesting choice for Ayato, however, due to its skill only triggering when used on enemies affected by pyro or electro, you should only give him this weapon if you’re using him in electro-charged or vape comps to get the most out of it.

What’s the best Genshin Impact Ayato build for sub-DPS? If you want to use Ayato as a sub-DPS or burst support, you need to maximise the use of his burst. This build has great potential for supporting your team with constant hydro application and attack speed buffs.
Of course, as with the DPS build, we’re still getting used to this handsome chap, so these recommendations may change as we learn more about his utility and skillset and how he works in the field.
The best Genshin Ayato artifacts for sub-DPS For sub-DPS or burst support Ayato, you’ve got a few artifact options. First, you can go with a full set of Emblem of Severed Fate to increase his energy recharge, allowing him to use his burst more frequently.
You can also choose to give him a full set of Noblesse Oblige if you don’t have someone on your team already using that set, as its four-piece, team-wide buff doesn’t stack. Alternatively, you can go with two pieces of Heart of Depth and two pieces of Noblesse Oblige to boost both his hydro and burst damage, in turn helping his buff and allowing him to make a big impact whenever he’s in the field.

Similarly, Skyward Blade, Freedom-Sworn, and Primordial Jade Cutter are great for their buffs. The Freedom-Sworn’s buff even applies to the whole team, making him an even more useful support.
However, all of the above are five-star weapons, so may be tricky to get. But you still have some great options if you’re looking for the best four-star weapon for Ayato in a sub-DPS role. Amenoma Kageuchi, Festering Desire, and Iron Sting are all strong options, two of which you can forge via the Blacksmith, so you’re not without options if you’re F2P!

What are the best Genshin Impact Ayato team comps? Ayato is a flexible unit that can slot into pretty much any team that needs reliable hydro application. Therefore, he can be a strong member of many vape, taser, hyperbloom, and permafreeze teams.
Here are some examples of team comps for Ayato.
Ayato Taser team example (Electro-charged)
Ayato (main DPS) Genshin Impact’s Fishcl (sub-DPS) Genshin Impact’s Beidou (sub-DPS) Genshin Impact’s Bennett (support)
This team offers strong electro-charged reactions, with Ayato acting as the trigger. Throw down Fischl’s Oz as a turret to deal consistent electro damage and generate energy, use Beidou’s shield, then switch to Ayato to unleash multiple hydro-infused attacks with his skill and burst. Bennett is a great support for Ayato due to both his healing and attack buff. Additionally, the wide range of Ayato’s normal attacks after using his elemental skill allows him to stand inside Bennett’s burst field and still hit enemies outside of the area.
Ayato Vape team example (vaporize)
Ayato (main DPS) Genshin Impact’s Yoimiya (sub-DPS) Genshin Impact’s Bennett (support) Genshin Impact’s Yun Jin (support)
Yoimiya and Bennett not only trigger pyro resonance, but, when combined with Ayato, they have the potential to dish out plenty of vaporize reactions. Additionally, Yoimiya can act as the main damage dealer during Ayato’s downtime, as he’s recharging his burst and waiting for his skill to come off cooldown. Bennett and Yun Jin both offer some useful buffs, allowing you to maximise Ayato’s damage output. Bennett can also heal your team with his elemental burst.
Ayato Freeze team example
Ayato (main DPS) Genshin Impact’s Ganyu (sub-DPS) Genshin Impact’s Diona (support) Genshin Impact’s Venti (support)
In this comp, you can use Venti to round up the enemies, then combine Ganyu and Ayato’s bursts to apply persistent cryo and hydro damage, freezing them in place. Diona offers a shield and heals, and also triggers cryo resonance with Ganyu, allowing you to deal more damage to frozen enemies, which works wonders when unleashing Ayato’s elemental skill.
Ayato Hyperbloom team example
Ayato (main DPS) Genshin Impact’s Nahida (sub-DPS) Genshin Impact’s Raiden (sub-DPS) Genshin Impact’s Kuki Shinobu (support)
The addition of the dendro element has revolutionised Genshin’s combat, and breathed life into a lot of units thanks to even more reactions, like hyperbloom, being usable. Raiden’s skill provides electro damage on almost every hit for every team member, while Kuki not only heals but has a constant electro-damaging ring. Nahida applies dendro to all enemies with her snapshot skill and links them together. Popping down Ayato’s burst will set an unbelievable amount of reactions off, while he can swoop in with his sword.
And that’s everything we have on Genshin Impact’s Ayato. Make sure you check out our picks for the best mobile RPGs if you’re after other games like Genshin Impact.
