Ayato is the primary Hydro Main DPS. Nahida provides Dendro application to create Bloom cores when hit by Ayato's Hydro, and Kuki Shinobu applies Electro to convert those cores into Hyperbloom homing projectiles. Kazuha provides crowd control, grouping and Viridescent Venerer shred to boost overall damage. Prioritize Elemental Mastery on Kuki and Nahida to maximize Hyperbloom and Dendro-related reaction damage.
