Him being Hydro makes a difference. I have benched many DPSes but not him since I can practically use him anywhere especially with new units. Plus his attacks in overworld are enough to clear small fights without having to use full rotations. I use him on my dailies to carry unbuilt characters for namecards because he can make use almost any supports in the game. He is super beginner friendly

[@namelessbard2124]

I also use him for my friendship team lol. His hydro skill is just so convenient that he can carry the unbuilt characters easily.

[@kyon-kyon71]

This is so true. Abyss only resets twice a month, you can use your meta pulls then. But Ayato’s convenience makes him so valuable in the daily game battles plus he’s pleasing to the eyes. I never got tired of looking at him haha

[@kyon-kyon71]

@yaaaan he’s one of the characters that’s prettier in game while there are characters who are meh in game but great at official arts, his sister is the best example of it. She’s pretty but the front view just destroys her and that bowl bangs 😭 I have too much saved photo of Ayato in game. I can’t stop taking photos of him everywhere

[@Darkclowd]

@@kyon-kyon71 I always use Ayato for abyss on my friend's account. He's awesome.

[@kommentaryklub]

This. I agree that the hydro part really makes him feels more valuable than most units. He might be not the greatest or the strongest option for a hydro fps, but his versatility and ease to play is very appreciated from beginner to late game players.

[@anujsharma8990]

I think ayato's the perfect example of a good, solid and balanced dps.

[@sakiamira]

And people hate him for that. Hes not broken but god does playing him feels so nice just to rely on him doing one thing and doing it well which is just E

[@felixstep2066]

The worst part is that, while is true that Ayato in international is not as Good as Childe, the Fact that can work really decent and also goes to other teams and still performing well. I personally like Childe more, but I can see the true potential for this underrated character

[@dinhcuong2811]

I think he's a simple but effective and easy to work with character.

[@LostHytale]

@@jeanvaljean6433 what? He literally is a dps though

[@user-zq7vi8lm4z]

@@felixstep2066 i think ayato is works better with dendro than childe due to better hydro application. he could just trigger dendro core 24/7

[@jeankb8]

Something I almost never see mentioned, is how much of a great pull Ayato is for those who play on mobile. He's by far the easiest onfield DPS to play as, and the fact he clears most camps with a single E also makes him great for overworld exploration.

[@sumedhasolanki]

I completely agree. I play genshin on mobile and Ayato is just sooo damn easy to play! 😍 Love his playstyle and great damage dealer ✨

[@ikmaldaniel5324]

Same bruh. Never has even a ounce of regret pulling him. Ayato just too versatile. Although he is not dealing high burst damage but his consistency, versatility and semi quick swap gameplay make really ez to slide him in every team compt. But personally i just play him with kuki hyperbloom since his E and burst can help a lot in hyperbloom team.

@@SonicGintoki I levelled his AA to 5 then left it there, I may get to triple crown him one day

[@enterthenameyo]

Ayato is such a simple and reliable character who delivers results. He'll never be the absolute best hydro unit for a team, but he's a close second for so many teams. The value especially here is that it frees up that critical hydro character in the other team

[@Kunoichi4ever4]

yeah I built 1 Ayato, 1 Ayaka, 1 Xiao and i can 36* every abyss, mainly coz Ayato has so many f2p frendly teams that no matter what the abyss throws at me, Ayato cna deliver.

[@monke-mk5]

Yeah. Hydro is so versatile that there's is no bad 5 star hydro to pull. Childe still have one of the strongest team. Kokomi is the best healer with consistent hydro. Ayato is a solid pick for any team that need a hydro. Yelan is yelan. And mona is still good on freeze and damage per screenshot team

[@mia_2043]

He's the best hydro for Hyperbloom in AoE, like by far. Childe's cooldowns don't lineup bc the team has no downtime and XQ/Yelan are ST so falloff hard per target (see curent 12-3-2)

[@g0gin0]

I've used ayato as a hyper carry, driver, and off field hydro application support. He's so flexible and a quality pull. His ER passive is so underrated since if you use him off field and give him an ER weapon, his burst is almost always ready again

[@Czulki]

Yep. His burst seriously does not feel like its 80 cost, more like 60. It also lasts forever (18seconds)

[@Tempest193]

Yes, I run him at about 128 er and don't have any problems with getting my burst up.

[@adriangerardlopez9801]

I never regretted pulling for Ayato. He's the third character in my entire account to get a crown (I crowned his skill) and I really enjoy using him from time to time... It's also really fun to count how many slashes you can dish out, at least for me :)

[@nhaan4178]

Same! His DPS may not be the most impressive out there but he's so flexible and easy to play. Love my man!

[@bjornnilsson2941]

Exact same for me as well. He was something of an accident going for Yun Jin cons last time, but as I started using him he quickly became my favorite hydro on-fielder for how incredibly useful and flexible he is. Before I knew it he was one of my most well built characters and he was the 4th character to recieve a crown on my account (Ganyu, Raiden and Ayaka were before him. And actually I crowned Yoimiya on the same day).

[@nhaan4178]

Ayato is always in my Abyss teams eversince I got him. My man used to be in a soup team with Benny, Fischl and Kazu but now he's exclusively in hyperbloom Kuki team

[@adriangerardlopez9801]

Just to add, Ayato took all my artifact luck so he forced me to use him for some time. 😂😁

[@akshpatel40]

Same for my itto......when i am fed up of rotations, i just pull out itto team and everything dies without focusing on rotations.

[@debamchakraborty1143]

Ayato being a hydro dps will grow stronger as time goes on and as new characters gets released that synergies with the element. But the same goes for every other hydro 5 star. If your hydro roaster is quite empty, you won't regret pulling for him.

[@bipula55]

I don't use him often but when I do.. I never regret spending primos for him.

@@Aremder I disagree once you get 2-3 dps and a healthy amount of support, I find that at least getting the weapons on the dps can greatly improve your account.

Hopefully i have enough for Homa later as well.

[@ancalyme]

My Raiden has been benched for ages :") She just has no place in my teams, if I want to run national I just get Childe.

[@titaochen5249]

What I LOVE about Ayato is that he easily fits into so many teams. Vaporize, electro-charged, freeze, hypercarry, and everything bloom related. Well, this advantage applies to most hydro damage dealers but Ayato is just so easy to use that he always becomes my first pick in either over world and the abyss.

[@bnasky]

Ayato is my highest investment when it comes to artifacts because he just deletes the abyss and has so many team comps to fit your needs. First I got him as a burst support for Ganyu freeze and then he transitioned to the DPS of the soup team. A double crown later, changing from mistsplitter to jade cutter and now he's sitting at 89.9/224 crit. Just a casual 4 piece gladiator that was strongboxed over time but man his potential is sky high

[@symartin45]

Not only Ayato is a well balanced on-field DPS character, he's also a beginner-friendly unit. Plus after using his skill, his normal attack is very satisfying to use.

[@crafteariee]

I thank Ayato's ease of use in combat for preventing my hands from developing carpal tunnel with how you can just hold down his E skill for its entire duration instead of thinking too hard about attack combo strings eheh. Got my first 36 star Abyss clears ever since his debut and I've always enjoyed how flexible and chill his teams can get! Bubble tea idle/ 10.

[@druka]

Your videos are always so high quality, thanks for putting so much effort into these guides, they are a such a time saver.

Thank you so much Sevy! I’ve totally been trying to figure out if I should or not pull for Ayato (Even though I absolutely love him and been wanting him since first run. But because of more characters to come, it’s been hard to decide haha)

[@heoniseokjin]

the way I’m watching this even though I pulled for ayato on his first banner and he’s still my main to this day. I made the decision to pull for him even before his kit reveal simply bc i simp but honestly he’s extremely easy to build, extremely easy to play that I don’t regret it at all. He’s great for people who likes a mindless gameplay like me 😂

@@MOG2024 You don't necessarily need that much dmg more of a enabler for vap and Bloom reactions. But if you are using his hypercarry(Bennet+Yunjin+Kazuha) You can reach 25-30K per Normal atk easily So 15*30K per skill. But his skill has Quadratic scaling so he works much better in AOE than on single target.

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

@@dip5766 Caveat: His burst, like ganyu's, has limited quadratic scaling. after 4 grouped enemies, the scaling is only linear. it's still quite good for AoE, but it's not childe riptide level scaling (though obviously, as an off-field hydro, he way outdoes childe unless you have c4 childe)

[@Aoijinsei]

Thanks for the nuanced answer that you give to help me come to the correct decision. Everyone praises Raiden Shogun for how good she is and because she's an Archon, and I understand why because she really is that good. However, I already have 2 powerful electro units (Yae Miko and Fischl), and are lacking in the hydro department. I also needed a good DPS. So with my situation in mind, and thanks to this video, I'm definitely gonna go with Ayato.

[@Candytime9]

I have used Ayato in every abyss cycle since I got him, I love using him with Kazuha (Or Venti), Yunjin and Zhongli, but I have also used him on a taser team as well as new bloom based reaction teams and he never lets me down. I also have Childe who I use in International team because Childe is more optimal there but overall I prefer Ayato. Ayato may not seem strong on the surface but he attacks very fast and his numbers add up in the end, plus he is very flexible.

[@RejectedInch]

My favorite Ayato's freeze team is with XQ and Chonyun ( the passive adds speed to Ayato's attacks, 1-2 extra slashes). I have added Layla just for friendship farm and is amazingly synergistic to play with. best of luck to all Ayato wanters!

[@NikolasThane]

Actually Chongyun's passive does give .5 to 1 extra slash depending on your ping. If its above 40-50 ping its not worth to put Chongyun.

I also pulled Childe on his recent rerun and while he is fun, I still find myself going back to Ayato for the most part, especially when I want to use burgeon team. I use Childe for large mobs with electro/cryo units but Ayato for mostly everything else.

[@astyutechick7980]

Childe's fighting style is sick. Those melee attacks are so satisfying to look at. It's sadge I lost my 50/50 and didn't get Childe. I'm quite new to the game so even though he's known as the rerun archon, I really want another chance to pull for him. But I guess that's not gonna happen anytime soon. I'm just a low-spender, borderline f2p. But Genshin is my first time when I experienced this moment where I can't just save up and buy what I want. I need to wait for a long while now for the rerun. Ik that's the point of Gatcha - "you don't know when your character might return so spend money now!" But I'm still looking at Childe's gameplay - thinking man, I want that - and then just not be able to do anything about it. This is not Gatcha fomo - this is just dissatisfaction with the game. I'm not gonna spend more money then I already do on this game, because I physically can't and there's no point cause when I will be able to - my character isn't there. I guess the only people who have this complaint are the ones who don't care about most characters and only want soecific ones, or the ones that already have most characters save a few.

[@Vorleh]

Tbh i’m at the same spot as you now. i love the “complex” and satisfying gameplay of childe and his character design, but since i was a new player that started around the end of his banner it makes me annoyed that i will have to wait for at least half a year… so mainwhile im considering to pull for ayato instead which also seems cool

I have both Ayato and Childe, don't regret getting them. Ayato is more comfortable and can be in many team comps, some not needing Bennett. While Childe needs a bit more skill, awareness (xiangling burst ready? too long on field? etc) and Bennett. Bennett is one busy boy.

[@calvingea7180]

I hate meticulous mechanic tbh. Cos u need to spend irl time learn and train to use. That why i like ayato mindless playstyle more. irl work and raising kids already hard enough for me to focus and trying to spend time to learn meticulous mechanic. Well for people who have many time to waste ofc they enjoy using childe more. Like full fledge game streamer who can speand 8-16hr gaming daily basis childe mechanic is not a problem.

In practice they have very different teams. Childe isn't as good in hyperbloom or soup, Ayato isn't as good in international. You can also easily use them both.

[@tiya6135]

I have both (accidentally pulled ayato instead of venti) but ayato isn’t as good as childe in international so I use him in hyper bloom. They don’t share supports so it’s good for me. Although I don’t play ayato a lot he’s still pretty versatile

He’s not crazy game-changing amazing damage-wise (I’m at C0 R1 Harran with a 80-180 CR:CD ratio with 120 ER using a 4pc HoD) unlike the typical DPS carries but he’s so flexible to a point that he’ll go with whatever team you put him in. Worth a pull in my book! For those pulling him, I highly suggest Vape, Electro, Hyperbloom, Freeze and Ayato Hyper Carry (with Yunjin, Xingqui and Zhongli). But I use him in a mono-Hydro team with Yelan, Xingqui and Kokomi/Kazuha just for the shts and giggles but it still clears the abyss and does the job 💙

New player here, i will be going for the kamisato siblings + thoma & sayu 🤩

[@Invizible99]

I can't wait to get him.

[@twilightknight09]

Please do this for Raiden given the introduction of Dendro!

[@wntrwolfx]

Quick answer: Raiden is worth pulling. Sevy mentions her toward the end of this video, and has another video from a while ago that still applies. Long answer: she's never been not worth pulling. Versatile as a sub dps and battery, solid main dps at c0, broken at c2. Easy to use. Can use The Catch (f2p weapon). Build her for ER for dps, or EM for hyperbloom.

[@skyflakes145]

Hes so versatile. I use him in vaporize comps, electrocharge, freeze, overvape, bloom and hyperbloom teams.

[@Strip4Dreezy]

just saw an ayato solo 3.3 wolflord abyss defiently pulling since im a partial whale. also Im a day1 player with barbra being my only hydro so having another would be nice

[@Luc_ienn]

I got lucky with my Ayato pull, getting him within 3 pulls of the banner change and well under pity limit (on the banner guarantee after losing 50/50 before though). I slotted him into my existing Thoma burgeon team at level 60 with some convenient mainstat Gladiator set I had and he was already doing exactly what I needed. Thoma’s damage was the main winner here but the amount of times I was triggering bloom was just ridiculous…I’m just all on the bloom train currently and Ayato makes it so easy to do

[@jcadd3823]

pulling ayato soley for his e skill, i like the fade away quick slash lol and i wanna pair him up with my ayaka

[@kaismessiahbaby755]

Hey Sevy you do Twitch right? I watch a lot of gunshin creators that do the same type of videos you do but none of them do it as amazing as you do and as 100% on point in my opinion. So you're the one I usually always listen to completely when it comes to building characters knowing what to do what to get how to move and how to do certain things. I was wondering on your twitch do you do things like rating and possibly Giving advice on fixing accounts? I just wanna make sure my account is Where it should be and that I'm making the most out of everything I have because I'm not a whale I'm more like a dolphin but I have quite a few characters and stuff Like weapons and other things so I just want to make sure I'm using them properly. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

[@hypeboimaki]

im pulling for his c2 and haran!!! wish me luck❤️

[@3uolll]

I have a really godly 4pc Gladiator set and its so tempting to pull for Ayato because of it.

[@aleynawastaken]

Definitely getting him! Prettiest husbando by far💕

[@FaiGal]

Personally I really love his ultimate skill AoE (with other cryo characters and espeically Ayaka, this is a lot of fun). I think he's just as helpful as Kokomi consistently applying hydro dmg and his elemental skill has a really fast cooldown. If you stack enough hp and atk on him, all you do is hold to win.

[@shannonsamaroo469]

Im def pulling him that e skill is amazing

[@moonmilkgalaxy]

I have and use Kokomi and want another hydro user so as an ayato lover it's a must pull! I don't have raiden so yes thats a tough choice but I have so many electro users and honestly my teams are doing good

[@Xerialstraz]

I really would love to pull for Ayato… but I’ve been waiting for Raiden ever since I did the inazuma archon quest. I mustttt have her haha

[@Alteronx]

I'm not pulling for him right now but can't deny this man is fairly flexible and being hydro he fits into many things as a comfortable role. Guess you can't really go wrong with him

[@Kunoichi4ever4]

There really isnt any as versatile DPS in game as Ayato and that is his main value. That you can roll for 4-5 different elements of DPS...OR...get 1 Ayato and you have almost all elements covered for abyss with just owning the basic 4*s. He works great with Fischl, Sucrose, Xianling and even DMC so he is almost a cheatcode as since I have him I never feel pressured to roll for certain characters coz I know that Ayato has it covered.

[@sujata994]

Ayato has almost no caveats! I love his gameplay and he doesn’t rely on his burst which I love!

[@macnsneez3]

I don't regret pulling for him the first time, I'm going for Raiden in the second half but I'll still see if I can get his C1 because that's my boo

[@sarahabdulaziz9679]

I got ayato on his first banner, and I really like his play style because it’s easy although I have many dps I only use him regularly

[@calamity4551]

I spent on him my ayaka guarantee out of pure boredom. I never regretted getting him though. I highly value his versatility and flexibility, the fact I can fit him in almost every team that wants hydro. I don't like him as a character that much yet I never benched him for long periods of time. So, if you don't have other 5* hydro options I think he's extremely valuable

[@zippo718]

The worst thing about pulling for Ayato doesnt even have to do with Ayato. He's on at the same time as Raiden, and Yelan's rerun is coming 3.4, so he's sandwiched between the literal 2 best characters in the game.

[@user-ru8yy1ez9n]

no he’s better than those flops

[@TheRabbitsaver]

Doesn't matter since he is actually better than both if built well. Chunking out every six seconds all of his dmg just holding down a button lol And the AoE on his atks is insane.

[@Ivy-jq6di]

@@user-ru8yy1ez9n raiden and yelan are both meta and used much more than ayato. general consensus is that he's weaker than childe anyway

[@deegutsy7574]

@@Ivy-jq6di what are you talking about? Just cos a character can't nuke they're automatically weak? DoT still matters in a lot of situations

[@TheRabbitsaver]

@@Ivy-jq6di waifu appeal is always greater than male characters. Hydro is the most versatile element irrespective of whether it is Ayato Yelan or Childe. Ayato in my opinion has the biggest bonus that his major chunk of dmg comes from E and not from Q so you can build him easily

[@Cezaane99]

Got Ayato due to him being Genshin Vergil and his weapon as well and I absolutely have regret, he feel solid to bring to abyss where he can tackle any ST and AOE content well enough and his teams comps are very diverse, mainly soup and hypercarry are my go to ayato teams.

[@ryuuraga1619]

I enjoyed his playstyle. Fast and effective. The only reason why I don't play him frequently is I have many DPS already that I enjoyed more and synergize to the characters I am building. But I'm waiting for his weapon or Alhaitham weapon to fully build him. And I consider both Childe and Ayato equal, since I have them both and after comparing their playstyle I can say there isn't really that much of a difference between them.

[@UL71M4]

Good luck on everyone's pulls for Raiden and Ayato

[@k.chajel1770]

The Swiss army knife of main DPS, literally awesome in many teams also very easy and comfy to play

[@1DMapler18]

i pulled for him cause was hot but its great that he's come into his own as a viable unit since his first run

[@CynicalOptimis]

Very good

[@oddpotato4038]

I might want to get a hydro dps just to have a fresh new team comp. I feel like my typical teams are getting repetitive and all hydro characters I use are supports.

[@coffeebomb_35]

this might be random but will you do a review of the new inazuman 4 star sword? I'm kinda curious to know on how it compares to the other swords and how viable it is to use to some of the characters

[@bjornnilsson2941]

The TLDR of it is that it's basically a free Iron Sting that doesn't cost you 5 billets. It does have a fun aestetic too though (iron sting is one of the most boring looking swords in the game imo). It's slightly stronger than Iron Sting in single target, and slightly weaker in AoE. Both are generally inferior to Xiphos' Moonlight unless used on a main-DPS character.

[@MATLU007]

Pulled him in the first banner and got his weapon in 3.3 and now I can say I am fully happy with my ayato
