Over the past couple of months, Genshin Impact leaks have been predicting the arrival of multiple Genshin Impact characters. Ayato is the head of the Kamisato clan and even though most players thought that it was his sister Ayaka who was pulling the strings for the clan, recent story quests have revealed that it’s actually Ayato who assumes the leadership role. An interesting post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has revealed that Ayato will be a classic DPS character with a strong focus on Normal Attacks, similar to the recently released Arataki Itto. According to the leak, Ayato’s elemental burst infuses his sword with Hydro damage, similar to Itto’s or Beidou’s burst. Click here to see the full Reddit thread.

Kamisato Ayato is one of the most anticipated characters in the game. When his voice was teased in an official video, fans went wild with the theory that his arrival might be sooner than expected. From his official character art, his weapon of choice appears to be a sword. Multiple in-game NPCs have already stated that Ayato is a skilled sword and polearm user, however, it seems like miHoYo decided to equip him with a sword. Previous Genshin Impact leaks have revealed that his Elemental skill is named Shuumatsu Art, and it allows Ayato to dash sideways while casting forward an empty shell of himself that taunts enemies.

Ayato was originally rumored to be released alongside another four-star character - Shikanoin Heizou. Unlike Ayato, there is not much information about Heizou other than that he’s a detective. Shikanoin Heizou is a popular Inazuma detective who works for the Tenryu Commission. His unique way of investigating often gives the impression that he puts his own priorities over duties which makes him disliked by his superiors such as the well-known character Kojou Sara.

Genshin Impact is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is currently in development.
