Artifacts
2-piece grants Hydro DMG; 4-piece adds 30% Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG after Skill, exactly the damage window.
2-piece gives 18% ATK; 4-piece adds 35% Normal Attack DMG for sword users, with no condition.
2-piece gives Hydro DMG; 4-piece raises ATK and Hydro DMG when Normal Attacks, Skill, and Burst hit, so every part of the rotation contributes.
A flexible 2-piece Hydro DMG set; combine with another 2-piece ATK or CRIT set for simplified stats.
Gives CRIT Rate vs Cryo-affected enemies; only useful in a Frozen team, and even then it doesn't boost Normal Attack directly.
Reduces Skill cooldown after reactions; not tailored for Hydro DPS, but can work in Electro-Charged comps to shorten the damage window.
4-piece grants a 36% chance to deal 70% extra Normal Attack DMG, synergizing with fast slashes; relies on RNG but high payoff.
4-piece boosts Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG when HP changes and adds CRIT Rate; works well with HP-drain or healing supports.

Recommended Primary Stats
Activate Ayato's
DPS Ayato focuses on dealing on‑field Hydro DMG via his Skill and Burst.
Weapon Choices:
Skyward Blade: Ranks assuming 135% Energy Recharge for consistent Burst per rotation; ranking shifts with requirements.
Summit Shaper: In teams lacking ATK% buffs, this rivals The Black Sword.
Finale of the Deep: If Bond of Life is reliably cleared, outperforms weapons ranked equal to it.
The Black Sword: At [R5], roughly equal to Summit Shaper.
Lion's Roar: In Electro‑Charged teams, performs about equal to Summit Shaper.
Harbinger of Dawn: Only with a shielder; when shielded, beats Finale of the Deep and rivals Splendor of Tranquil Waters in high‑ATK% teams.
Artifact Sets:
Echoes of an Offering (4): Inconsistent – depends on ping <100. If met, competitive with Heart of Depth (4).
Marechaussee Hunter (4): Best in Burgeon (with self‑damage) or with Furina.
Nymph's Dream (4): Relies on Water Illusion hitting; without third stack, equal to 2‑piece Hydro DMG + 2‑piece ATK%.
Blizzard Strayer (4): Best in Freeze teams; not recommended to farm specifically.
Thundering Fury (4): Best in Electro‑Charged due to Skill cooldown reduction enabling shorter rotations; not recommended to farm specifically.
