Ability Tips

Always try to activate Ayato’s Elemental Burst before using his skill to maximize his Normal Attack DMG. Getting enough Energy Recharge for this is important, and varies based on team.

The amount of slashes Ayato can do during an Elemental Skill window is sometimes influenced by the player’s set FPS.

Gameplay Tips

DPS Ayato focuses on doing large amounts of on-field damage with his Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst.

Regarding Weapon Choices:

• Skyward Blade: If you have a lot of ER% from substats, this weapon performs equal to/below Amenoma Kageuchi.
• Summit Shaper: In teams where ATK buffs are scarce, this weapon has the potential to rival Skyward Blade.
• Lions Roar: In Electro-Charged teams, this weapon performs better than The Black Sword.

Regarding Artifact Sets:

• Echoes of an Offering (4): The performance of this artifact set is inconsistent, and is based on user ping and other factors.
• Blizzard Strayer (4): When run in a Freeze Team, this is Ayato’s best set. Note that it is not recommended to farm specifically for this set.
• Thundering Fury (4): When run in an Electro-Charged team, this is Ayato’s best set due to the Cooldown Reduction on Elemental Skill allowing for shorter rotations. Note that it is not recommended to farm specifically for this set.
