Like, dont go weapon banner if you're casual, f2p or a newbie because those fates are better spent guaranteeing new fun characters that you take too long to save. The worst part of weapon banner is that path points dont carry over so it's the only true "wasted" thing in the game, presuring you to swipe if things go wrong. Only roll if it's a stacked banner and you really NEED this weapon, but dont overspend.

I’m not above doing an occasional Yolo Roll on the Weapon Banner, but it’s very much a case of “I already have the characters on these banners, might as well.” I never actually expect anything from it, so a SSR Spook on that banner is an actual treat (especially considering my last random 10-Pull got both the SSR Weapons)

I wouldn’t recommend dumping money on it - honestly, I wouldn’t be too surprised if at some point in the future the Rate Up Weapons start cycling into the Normal Gacha Pool. Least more likely to see them added than the Limited 5*’s

It's based on the "kagura suzu", essentially a tiny stick covered in bells that very slightly resembles a tree. It's an instrument shrine maidens use when dancing and stuff. Thus, why it's called "Kagura's verity". (fun fact: "miko" means shrine maiden, in case yae's name wasnt symbolic enough).


I know it looks like garbage and i've seen people online making fun of it but that's how it actually looks in real life.

and it's not the first shrine maiden being called miko

why hasn't yae done that yet? she's her one fucking friend and for some reason she didn't seem all that bothered by how ei wanted to stay in her mind palace for five decades while inazuma collapsed on itself, aside from when she whined to traveler like "oh nooooo eternity is too lonely for ei she has to take care of herself :("
Click to expand...
don't forget inazuma story isn't over yet and she apparently becomes a boss, so who knows what's gonna go down.
 
 
Finally the update happened, havent tried the new boss et, can this site please not crash for 5 minutes jesus christ.

So is Ayato a main DPS carry or another support character?
Click to expand...

I've been scanning all about him since the leaks, here is what i gathered

Overall role:

Ayato seems to be intended as "short field dps -> swap support" like yoimiya. His main gameplan is using his skill to hit infuse and hit hard for 7~ seconds, casting his burst and swaping out, while someone else attacks to reduce his skill cd.

>Combo

His combo is pretty bug pointless. He gets a different combo after his skill.

>Skill

He leaves a taunt clone and does a backdash, exactly like ganyu but no damage on entrance, after 6 secs the clone pops. After using skill, ayato does huge hydro slashes that generate 1 particle every 1.9 secs. The CD is 20 seconds and reduces by up to 8 when allies do normal attacks (yae used to have this mechanic in beta).

>ult

It's literally hydro ganyu ult but 80 cost. It does random hydro damage on a large circle. Allies in the circle get up to 12% atk speed (ayato doesnt get it lol).

>weapon

His 5* weapon is mid atk mid crit (608 / 33%), gives free 12% elemental dmg and when an ally does normal atk, the holder gets stacks that give him normal atk dmg after skill. This sword heavily enforces the playstyle i mentioned first.

>passives?

Ayato gets, i kid you not, hp% scaling on his skill and stronger hp% scaling the more he attacks after the skill. This is really weird since he gets crit dmg on ascension. It's like Yae getting skill damage with EM, it just sounds random.

>Artifacts?

He can use heart of depth just like childe, maybe EoSF if you just want him as an ult bot.

>BUT IS HE GOOD?

By himself? I'd say not yet lol. Ayato is kinda like yoimiya, raiden and kokomi, designed to take a bit field time and then have someone else take it, but ayato kinda fucks it over by having an 80 burst cost and hydro not fitting his playstyle. He hits too fast to reverse vape but probably not fast enough to allow others to vape. Freeze is possible but generally requiring field time makes it awkward and his expensive burst means you gotta stack ER on him.

His best teammate sounds like raiden who can cover his downtime and charge his burst but then you're playing eletrocharge which neither is built for but alas, it probably works. EDIT: WAIT I FORGOT, Raiden's burst is considered burst damage so she doesnt reduce ayato's skill cd, not good for him.

what in the fuck is going on with yelan's design? she looks like a low end hooker and her hair is just sara's but with a cowlick.

There goes the contrast.
 
New weekly boss is ace. Her combat flow is just as good as Childe and she has seamless transitions between phases so no more cutscene skipping. As far as I can tell, there's no lame HP-gating mechanics either so you can go all out as long as your attacks connect. I hope this is a sign that they're trying to make boss fights more dynamic and active because there's way too much stalling in Genshin's combat design.
 
Against my own judgement, i challenged the gacha gods of the weapon banner... And won! Wooohuhuhuu!

Dumped 20 rolls and got Jade cutter at 71 pity, together with 1 eye of pain and 1 painslasher... Either way! I finally i can retire Ayaka's HoD and give her an awesome sword now! 🥳🥳

>"but you shouldnt put Jade cutter on ayaka since she gets crit overkill from BS+resona-"

YOU FOOL, i never got a usable 4pc bs for ayaka! I now have 107% crit rate and no regrets! 🎉
 
Ayato basically fully leaked: https://genshin.honeyhunterworld.com/db/char/ayato/?lang=EN
tl;dr: his E infuses his normal attacks, gives him a bonus based off his max HP, and his burst makes him hit harder
his ascension passive gives him a further damage bonus based off his HP

Skill demo:
Burst demo:

So yeah of course they're releasing an HP scaling sword user right after like 3 jade cutter banners LUL
May throw some rolls on his banner just based on the fact that he looks like he's going to be a huge Kaeya enabler

Will his E infuse attacks when he is off the field Similar to Xingqiu? I could see the teams with Ayaka and Ayato being crazy if that is the case, Ayaka's Q plus his probably insane damage

@Catgirls are Love How much did you spend to get Yae miko so early?

Much less than I spent trying to get Ayaka. I'll likely suffer properly once Raiden's banner comes back.

I'm sorry what. That cant be similar to xinqiu since that's not how xinqiu works at all? Xinqiu doesnt "infuse" anybody, he bursts and for 12-15 seconds anyone's normal attacks will cast flying water swords (no need to hit).

Ayato's skill changes his default combo to a quickdraw water slashes for 6 seconds so it has no effect when he's out. His burst is like ganyu but hydro, huge circle around him stays for 15 secs and does dmg half randomly but worse cause 80 cost and default icd.

BTW BTW I found this code on the genshin subreddit, it gives 60 gems and worked for me so it must be new:

ZSPDKSC3V8V5 - 60 gems

Reverse freeze ?

Drop Ganyu/Ayaka ult then have him use water Vergil style.... are we getting a hydro version of blizzard strayer ?

Dunno how to use this water pretty dood. Ayato is a hydro main DPS is the idea I am getting from you guys.

Nah but that would be a cool support ability. He's looking to be more just an on-field main dps hyper carry
Currently the only 2 characters that can infuse other characters NAs are chongyun and C6 bennet

His ascension is stat is crit rate + black sword/jade cutter are a thing so I don't think he would need a hydro BS anyway. He is getting a signature artifact set tho and Heart of Depth seems like itd be good on him too
Also yeah, C2 Kaeya with 2NO 2BS or 4NO sounds like it would be a great "reverse freeze" enabler.

His water stance only last 6-8 seconds (hitlag) and his burst costs 80 so there is no way you can keep ayaka/ayato freeze unless you have perfect timing, rotations and both burst off cd (unlikely for him).

What i mean is, the main problem with Ayato is he way harder to work with than all other hydro characters. Childe and xinqiu have extremely fast application while being easy to maintain while kokomi, mona and barbara can wet people off field for FREE.

You can play Childe vape enabler, childe vape nuke, childe freeze and childe EC and it's all self explanatory and functional at worst. You can manually control his skill cd to make basically any rotation work.

You cant play Ayato enabler cause his aplication is too slow for XL. Ayato vape isnt great cause his skill doesnt last enough for XL and is multi hit (maybe works with thoma?). Ayato freeze can work but his "skill cd decreases on ally normal attack" rule means he wastes potential with certain teams (ganyu) and he can barely match other hydros (icd sucks). Ayato EC can work but if you go beidou+fish+healer then who is gonna attack during his skill downtime? Raiden cant reduce his cd with her burst but the energy might be worth anyway.

And that's all assuming he can burst off cd which aint happening without fav sword + emblem, which doesnt seem to be the intentional way to play him since his sword gives crit and normal attack dmg, like a field main dps.

Yae miko had a similar thing in her beta where her skill cd was 9 seconds long but reduced on ally skill damage, which was an obvious way to make "synergize" with raiden/fish but probably made her feel like garbage without them so they gave her changed her to have free 100% uptime.

Hopefully they change ayato in some way too because as it is, he's too dependent on others to get things done. He's the only normal atk DPS in the game who wants a second normal atk dps AND a battery. Even his own sword, is the only 5* weapon in the entire game that requires someone else to attack to buff himself.
 
So, anyone else clear the new Event in less that 2 days? Like, don’t get me wrong, Ekanomiya (I know I spelt that wrong) is gorgeous, but we explored the shit out of it last patch, and having this Event run for 40 days? I doubt any Newbs can catch up to and do this Event if they started this patch.

Rewards are alright, though unlike the last 40 day event, I’m not sure who I could put the welfare Catalyst on - least Dodoco Tales fits well with Klee aesthetically, even if it’s not her best option…

I presume the long duration is mostly to give some time and incentive for the surprisingly large portion of the active playerbase that has yet to finish Enkanomiya (and thus access the event). With the release of Yae Miko the Discord server has had lots of people either asking for help either clearing Enkanomiya quests/challenges or just hosting the Bathysmal Vishaps as people realized they just pulled a character requiring materials from a boss they don't have access to. On that note, don't forget to unlock the new weekly ASAP if you haven't already.

Event itself is fun enough, though not particularly challenging. I do like these events that either have us re-explore an area or introduce a new one, though like you mentioned above, I kind of went through it like a fat kid going through chips and now I'm just killing time until the Chasm is introduced. Hopefully it won't be another Dragonspine, or if it is there's at least some event-mechanic to make it less annoying.
