Water
Kamisato Art: Marobashi
Performs up to 5 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to dash forward and performs an iai.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Kamisato Art: Kyouka
After this shift, he will leave a watery illusion at his original location. After it is formed, the watery illusion will explode if opponents are nearby or after its duration ends, dealing AoE Hydro DMG.
Takimeguri Kanka
In this state, Kamisato Ayato uses his Shunsuiken to engage in blindingly fast attacks, causing DMG from his Normal Attacks to be converted into AoE Hydro DMG. This cannot be overridden.
It also has the following properties:
·After a Shunsuiken attack hits an opponent, it will grant Ayato the Namisen effect, increasing the DMG dealt by Shunsuiken based on Ayato's current Max HP. The initial maximum number of Namisen stacks is 4, and 1 stack can be gained through Shunsuiken every 0.1s. This effect will be dispelled when Takimeguri Kanka ends.
·Kamisato Ayato's resistance to interruption is increased.
·Unable to use Charged or Plunging Attacks.
Takimeguri Kanka will be cleared when Ayato leaves the field. Using Kamisato Art: Kyouka again while in the Takimeguri Kanka state will reset and replace the pre-existing state.
"When, I wonder, did you come under the illusion that you were winning?"
— Ayato is like this in both matter of martial prowess and political intrigue, but to preserve the dignity of his fellow Commissioners, he does not say such things to them. As such, only Thoma, Itto, and Ayaka have ever heard this line.

Kamisato Art: Suiyuu
While this space exists, Bloomwater Blades will constantly rain down and attack opponents within its AoE, dealing Hydro DMG and increasing the Normal Attack DMG of characters within.
"I can see them, you know. The ripples of your beating heart within this realm of still waters."
Passive Talents

Kamisato Art: Mine Wo Matoishi Kiyotaki
·After it is used, Kamisato Ayato will gain 2 Namisen stacks.
·When the water illusion explodes, Ayato will gain a Namisen effect equal to the maximum number of stacks possible.

Kamisato Ayato (On-Field DPS) | Build
Character Guide • Build: Kamisato Ayato | Update Date: 10/21/2023 | Editor: ._.samantha._.
• Best Weapon(s):
Ayato's strongest weapon options that are generally performs similarly overall. Thus, it is not recommended to pull for Haran should player's have the Primordial Jade Cutter and likewise.
The Black Sword
4 star Best-in-Slot weapon with its stat spread and passive being largely beneficial to Ayato's kit. However, it should be noted that the weapon does not scale all that well with refines, thus purchasing multiple battlepasses to refine the weapon is not advisable.
Lions Roar
Obtainable via gacha, Lions Roar is a strong weapon as Ayato's predominant teams are electrocharge and soup; both of which can keep consistently high uptime on the passive of Lions Roar.
• Replacement Weapon(s):
A minor improvement over Ayato's 4 star weapon options as he will rarely be able to maintain and utilize its passive to the fullest extent. Although perfectly usable, it is much preferred to use the weapon on other characters who would gain more benefit using the weapon than Ayato would.
Light of Foliar Incision
His fast attacks are not Normal Attack, but the CRIT stats are helpful.
Cursed Blade
A F2P friendly and decent weapon option should players not have any of the weapons mentioned above.
Amenoma Kageuchi
Ayato usually casts his burst at the start of the rotation, rendering the energy gained from the weapon passive near-useless. Thus, players will still need to build the same amount of ER as they did with any other weapon to be able to burst on the subsequent rotations.

2) Elemental Burst: Kamisato Art- Suiyuu
There is No Need to level his normal attack talent as his Auto Attacks in his Elemental Skill state has a different set of multipliers based on his Elemental Skill.
• Notes:
A 4 set of Echoes of an Offering should only be considered when ping is consistently below 100, where the artifact set will be accordant with the other options.
Nymph's Dream
Unlike other sets, is not in the Strong Box, but better than Echos of an Offering when at higher ping.
Kamisato Ayato (Burst/Freeze) | Build
Character Guide • Build: Kamisato Ayato | Update Date: 08/06/2022 | Editor: Luno#1337
• Best Weapon(s):
Best weapon for his personal damage as a Burst damage dealer. However in freeze comps, when opting to run 4 Blizzard, Ayato will very easily overcap on crit rate. In such a situation, it would be better to run an alternative weapon instead.
Favonius Sword
Owing to Ayato's extraordinarily high ER requirments in this playstyle, Favonius sword is a strong weapon to manage his ER requirements, as well as the added utility of Favonius triggers lowering team ER requirements.
Mistsplitter's Reforged
Another personal damage focused weapon that does not run into issues in freeze team comps.
Skyward Blade
A more offense-oriented weapon compared to Favonius Sword with a large ER stat that is very appreciated in this playstyle to keep his ER requirements in-check.
The Black Sword
General weapon option that still persists even in this playstyle. However, it runs into the same issue as Primordial Jade Cutter in overcapping crit rate when running 4 Blizzard.

2) Elemental Skill: Kamisato Art- Kyouka
There is No Need to level his normal attack talent as his Auto Attacks in his Elemental Skill state has a different set of multipliers based on his Elemental Skill.
• Notes:
When running Ayato in a freeze team, 4 blizzard is his technical-best artifact set. However, should players not have enough blizzard pieces, priority of who gets the Blizzard pieces goes to the Cryo DPS while Ayato opts to run 4 Emblem of Severed Fate instead.
In teams where there are no 4 Noblesse Oblige holders, Ayato can sacrifice some of his personal damage to hold the 4 set and buff his teammates instead.

As clan head of the Kamisato Clan, one of the great clans of the Tri-Commission, Kamisato Ayato is a household name in Inazuma. However, people do not have quite the same clear impression of him as they do of the Shirasagi Himegimi, the elegant and kind Ayaka. Most only know that he is an important figure in the Shogunate and the head of a famed noble house. But as for the details, there's little that they can say for sure. Some people say that "the Yashiro Commission's festivals and events are ever meticulous and have been full of consideration for the people. Surely the Commissioner's hand is in all such matters." But others also say "ah, but there is much to politics that should never see the light of day. And how could he have kept such a lofty position without a few tricks up his sleeve, hmm?" Ayato himself is unfazed by such comments. "Well, I consider myself merely a serious, dutiful public servant who owes his allegiance to the Almighty Shogun."
Greetings. Ayaka has mentioned you on numerous occasions — alas, my schedule has been rather busier than anticipated recently, which belated our first meeting until today. Kamisato Ayato, head of the Kamisato Clan. Delighted to make your acquaintance.
