Ayato Burgeon (Hydro Bloom)
Ayato Electro-Charged — Fischl / Beidou / Jean
#1 Ayato Hyperbloom — Nahida + Kuki Hyperbloom Team
Tier SSAyato 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.
Recommended artifact sets and weapon choices are listed per character below.
Primary Hydro DPS. Continuous Hydro application from Ayato's kit generates Bloom cores with Nahida's Dendro application; Kuki's Electro converts cores into Hyperbloom. Build for high crit and Hydro DMG to maximize DPS.
