Kamisato Ayato's abilities

Kamisato Ayato's Elemental Skill has the following effects in Genshin Impact:

• Leaves behind a watery illusion that will explode when either an enemy is nearby or if its duration runs out.
• Shunsuiken allows him to perform his Normal Attacks very quickly (but he cannot do Charged Attacks or Plunging Attacks in this state).
• Shunsuikens that hurt foes gives him Namisen, which boosts the Shunsuiken DMG based on his Max HP (up to four stacks, once every 0.1 seconds).
• He gains a resistance to interruption.
• These effects vanish if he leaves the field.

His Elemental Burst does the following:

• Does a Hydro AOE attack in regular intervals.
• Boosts allies' Normal Attack DMG inside this AOE.
• Lasts for 18 seconds.
• Has a cooldown of 20 seconds.
• Costs 80 Energy.

These are his Constellations in Genshin Impact:

• C1: Boosts Shunsuiken DMG by 40% against foes with half health or less.
• C2: Increases the max Namisen stack to five. Having at least three of them boosts his Max HP by 50%.
• C3: Increases his Elemental Skill's Level by three. It makes the maximum upgrade level become 15.
• C4: Using his Elemental Skill will boost nearby allies' Normal Attack SPD by 15% for 15 seconds.
• C5: Increases his Elemental Burst's Level by three. It makes the maximum upgrade level become 15.
• C6: Ayato's Shunsuiken attacks will create two extra strikes after he casts his Elemental Burst when hitting an enemy (dealing 300% of his ATK as damage). Namisen doesn't affect these attacks.

His three Passives are:

• Kamisato Art: Daily Cooking: He has an 18% chance of obtaining an extra Suspicious dish when he cooks something perfectly.
• Kamisato Art: Mine Wo Matoishi Kiyotaki: His Elemental Skill gives him two Namisen stacks and makes his water illusion's explosion give him the maximum number of Namisen stacks.
• Kamisato Art: Michiyuku Hagetsu: He will regenerate two Energy for himself every second if he's off the field and has less than 40 Energy.
