The Genshin Impact Ayato banner rerun enables Travelers to pull for the 5-star Hydro character, but is he worth the Primogems? 

The second phase of the Genshin Impact version 4.2 update is going to see a rerun for the Hydro DPS unit, Kamisato Ayato. He has been in the game for over a year now but has failed to make a mark when compared to other Hydro units like Yelan, and Xingqiu.

However, the meta in the game has changed a lot over the past year, and Ayato getting a rerun right now is not a coincidence at all. The issue is that Navia, the brand-new 5-star Geo unit is getting a rerun in version 4.3. Therefore, as a free-to-play person, you might be confused if you should invest your Primogems in this character.

As it happens, we have got you covered and after reading through the following section you might be able to make up your mind once and for all.

Is Ayato worth pulling in Genshin Impact?

Yes, Ayato is worth pulling during his rerun in the second phase of Genshin Impact version 4.2. However, there are multiple reasons why you might consider him right now. The first and foremost reason why Ayato is good in the meta is the introduction of Furina.

The Hydro Archon has made a significant mark in Genshin Impact and she has risen to the ranks of arguably the best support unit ever in the game. The good part is that she can work with a lot of Hydro characters, which also includes Ayato.

Furina can buff Ayato’s damage massively where he will be able to cruise through the Spiral Abyss with ease. You can run a team comprising Furina, Ayato, Yelan, and Jean, and you will have no trouble going through the hardest content in the game.

You can also replace Yelan and Jean in that team with Xingqiu and Kokomi if you want. Lastly, you can also drop Xingqiu and insert Kazuha instead and run him alongside Furina, Ayato, and Kokomi. Therefore, you have a lot of options in hand.

If not Furina, you can run Ayato in Dendro teams such as Hyperbloom or Burgeon. If you running a Hyperbloom team, you can go for Ayato, Nahida, Kuki Shinobu, and Baizhu. If you want to go for Burgeon, you can run a team comprised of Ayato, Thoma, Nahida, and Kokomi.

Lastly, there are the standard Freeze and Vaporize teams that also work in Ayato’s case. His massive AoE ultimate makes it easy to create Hydro reactions. Once you combine that with his own damage, you have a complete unit at hand.

This is all that you need to know if Ayato is worth pulling or not in Genshin Impact. If you found it informative, do not forget to check out some of our other guides at Dexerto.
