Kamisato Ayato, the Yashiro Commissioner and Ayaka's brother, is out now in Genshin Impact. Hydro and a sword-wielder, Ayato's damage is nothing to sneeze at. Where he stacks in the meta of damage (compared to Hu Tao and Ayaka) is currently unknown, but he could easily become the centerpiece of your freeze team. Here's all you need to know about Kamisato Ayato's abilities, artifacts, and more.

Now Playing: Genshin Impact Kamisato Ayato Character Breakdown Trailer
Building ATK, Crit, and Crit Dmg% is important for any DPS. The basic rule is to get 70% ATK, 50% Crit min, and 100% Crit Dmg% minimum. The ideal ratio between Crit% and Crit Dmg% is 1:2. Weapon and the individual character's base Crit% and Crit Dmg% stats should also be taken into consideration when maintaining the ratio. (Full credit to Genshin Resources and NGA for compiling and doing the testing on optimized damage output.)
In addition to ATK, Crit, and Crit Dmg% in substats, getting HP substats isn't bad either. Ayato's damage from Namisen stacks scale on his max HP. With all this info in mind, here's the recommended artifact setup.
