Kamisato Ayato's Active Abilities
- Kamisato Art: Marobashi (Normal Attack). The character performs from one to five sword strikes. The charged version of this attack is a forward thrust, dealing damage to all enemies in its path. The plunging attack causes AoE damage.
- Kamisato Art: Kyouka (Elemental Skill). The warrior enters the Takimeguri Kanka state and summons an illusion. When attacked, the illusion bursts, dealing Hydro AoE damage.
In the Takimeguri Kanka state, your hero deals exclusively Hydro damage with attacks called Shunsuiken. Each successful hit on an enemy triggers the Namisen effect, which increases the damage of normal attacks proportional to the character's maximum health. This effect can stack up to four times. Additionally, interruption resistance is increased. However, charged attacks and plunging attacks become unavailable.
Takimeguri Kanka will be canceled if the warrior uses the elemental skill again or if you switch to another character. - Kamisato Art: Suiyuu (Elemental Burst). Creates an area on the battlefield where enemies take Hydro damage. Additionally, it increases the normal attack damage of all your team's characters within the area.

The Best Weapon and Artifacts Build for Kamisato Ayato
The best weapon for this character is the five-star sword Haran Geppaku Futsu. Its attack power ranges from 46 to 608, with a critical damage chance of 7.2-33.1%. This weapon provides a bonus to all elemental attacks by 12-24%. If one of the characters uses an elemental skill, the hero wielding this sword gains one level of Wavebreaker. There are two levels in total. When the warrior with Haran Geppaku uses an elemental skill themselves, their normal attack damage increases by 20-40% per level for 8 seconds. This weapon can be obtained through the Invocation of the Divine prayer after March 30, 2022.
If you don't have Haran Geppaku, use the Falcon Sword instead. It increases attack by 20-40%. Upon taking damage, the hero's health is restored by 100-160% of the attack power, and enemies take damage equal to 200-320% of this value. The effect can occur once every 15 seconds. To get this sword, use the Invocation of the Divine and Wanderlust Invocation prayers.
For artifacts, consider the Echoes of an Offering. Two pieces increase attack by 18%. If you have four artifacts, hitting an enemy with a 36% chance will trigger the Valley Ritual effect. It increases normal attack damage by 70% for 0.5 seconds. If this does not happen, each new hit on an enemy increases the chance of triggering Valley Ritual by 20%. The effect can occur no more than once every 0.2 seconds. Echoes of an Offering will appear in the game on March 30, 2022.
Instead of Echoes of an Offering, you can choose Gladiator's Finale. With two pieces, you increase attack power by 18%, and with four, you further increase it by 35% if the hero uses a sword or spear. These artifacts drop from bosses Stormterror, Wolf of the North, Hypostases of different elements (geo, anemo, cryo, and electro), Pyro Regisvine, Childe, Ancient Geovishap, and Oceanid. To find them, refer to our maps.
