Builds

Hydro DPS Build

Kamisato Ayato is a Main DPS who you’ll want to keep on the field as much as possible utilizing his Elemental Skill as often as possible. You’ll want to use your Elemental Burst just before you use the Elemental Skill to get maximum damage out of it as the Elemental Burst will buff the damage. Another thing worth noting is if you need to switch him out for a bit, he’ll regenerate 2 energy a second due to the passive Kamisato Art: Michiyuku Hagetsu.

Talent Priority

Your main talent to focus on should be his Elemental Skill: Kamisato Art: Kyouka. You want to focus on this skill first as this is where the brunt of Ayato’s damage will come from due to Shunsuiken which’ll make his normal attacks lightning fast. After that is maxed out, focus on his Elemental Burst: Kamisato Art: Suiyuu.
