After testing out Ayato’s C0 damage on Masanori, it was clear Tectone was incredibly impressed by both the 5-star’s damage and attack animations. “[Ayato’s Elemental Skill] is unironically and unequivocally my favorite attack animation in the game, and you can just hold it.”

However, it was only after the streamer opted for an attack speed-focused team withYun JinandChongyunthat he began to get really excited. Meanwhile, the buffs fromBennettalso ensured the Hydro character was consistently unleashing incredible amounts of damage.

In fact, Ayato obliterated Masanori in just a few seconds, proving just how deadly he can be without any Constellation buffs. “This is probably one of the better feeling C0 characters I’ve ever played, I mean, there’s no potions, no food buffs – just a fresh 90 [character].”

This will likely come as a pleasant surprise to many Genshin Impact players, especially to those who are used to having to unlock Constellations to make their favorite characters more viable.

“I’m so happy. Ayato has lived up to my hype,” said the streamer. “I’m stoked and that was so fcking cool. I don’t give a fck about the internal cooldown when I can fck this much sht up with no elemental interactions whatsoever.”

Quite whether Ayato has what it takes to become one of themost popular characters in the Spiral Abyssremains to be seen, but for now, the future looks good for Ayato players.
