HOW STRONG ARE THEY NOW? Updated Raiden Shogun and Ayato Review | Genshin Impact 3.3 

KAMISATO ART: SIUUUUUUU Ayato & Raiden have gotten even better with dendro... enjoy the review! Complete Ayato Guide coming out next 👀

wow, your ayato has a really good set, and it’s his signature! surely your xiao is using vermillion as good as your echoes since they’re in the same domain, right?

I like how Xiangling is in each of the character trials other than Rosaria's. It's the surefire way to make your characters feel strong.

When raiden released she was already so good but Dendro definitely took her to the next level while also enabling more fun teams!

I’m glad all the time I spent farming the perfect emblem set for Raiden is now replaced by trashy substat EM pieces, it’s kinda crazy how synergistic she is with hyperbloom, it just feels so seemless. Truly one of the characters.

I’d like to also mention that raiden is an exceptional support to Eula, superconduct, battery, and burst dmg increase is very valuable for her.

Zy0x: You only need one Hydro 5 star Me, who has Childe Koko and Ayato and planning to pull Yelan to run them in one mono hydro team: :O

I run Ayato and Raiden together with Nahida and Kuki. The double electro might be a bit redundant, but it’s so much fun. Most fun (and highest damage) team I’ve made my whole time playing. It just tears through enemies.

As an Ayato lover since his first banner, I love how he’s just getting better with Dendro. He’s definitely the best hydro DPS right now because of his versatility with teams.

Dendro is amazing, it allows many teams just based on how ther skill work rather than the dmg and I love it

after i got Nahida.... when i do a trounce domain or the enemy is a robot--type-enemy i always use Zhongli > nahida > raiden > ayato as my rotation. i rarely use the burst truth be told, because man the dendro reaction damage i get is from 20k to 30k presently ❤

Dendro was the an amazing addition to the game, I love the variety now. Can't wait to get my raiden

The way 5-star Hydro units are designed makes Ayato look very underrated. I can respect people who want more damage and would recommend Yelan (considering she'll run in the next patch per rumors) but dismissing comfort and non-overpowered versatility is one of the few things that many have been horribly doing just because the other units sheet better. This isn't a math test; numbers are outright shit if they're harder to execute or if you'll need other units to improve it or hell, if the character isn't to your liking.

I really like pairing Ayato with a CA spammer DPS like Hu Tao. Double hydro Xingqui and Ayato. You get to restore your stamina bar while onfielding Ayato after Hu Tao CA spam then can vape the blossoms marks as well.

I think you should've mentioned venti for hyperbloom, because he is an extra hydro application with his burst and by gathering all the enemies in the middle it makes your hyperbloom hit as aoe. The comp would be ayato, venti, raiden(em), nahida(or dendro traveller). This is an INSANE aoe comp

when his voice cracked while saying “ i’m farming for Xiao” i felt that.

As a F2P that has both of them since their first banners, their worth it. You will have fun, with either character. I think I'll be going for C1 Ei, if I lose the 50/50 then that's great, and I can save for Al Haithem.

The fact that dendro teams prefers contant (aoe) hydro application really did wonders for Ayato His E being constant fast hydro app and his Q being constant off field hydro app that LASTS FOREVER (largest hydro app too)

When I saw his face, his handsome face, I could barely control myself. Looking at him looking at me was the best experience of my life, his smile that lit up the room, his hands, outstretched towards me as if to beckon me closer to the monitor, so he could embrace me through the screen, his eyes, full of excitement, almost as if he was as excited to see me as I was excited to see him. I quickly turned away however, to calm myself from these devious thoughts of me and him together as my at the time husband was in the room, but as my heart beat started to calm, I heard his voice “MR. SOCKKKKSSS”. It was too much to handle at this point, I spun around and locked eyes with him, now with a red circle around his tall body with stilts to compliment it. “Mr. Socks, I can’t control these feelings any longer, you are my everything, you make my life have meaning, without you, I dont think I could survive” My outburst upset my husband and his boyfriends, as they angrily grabbed their toys and left the house in a hurry, I, embarrassed, silently turned off the screen, feeling empty as I watched my true love slowly be replaced with a black screen. I love you, Mr. Socks.

I used to have raiden on my previous account but unfortunately I lost that account in 2.7. I'd been saving for her since 3.1 and had 108 fates saved up. Got keqing in 30 pulls and then raiden on the last one. Good luck to all the people pulling on her banner.

I prepped for Ayato completely as I wanted him since I missed him for Keqing on his orginial banner 8 months ago. I got C4 Diluc instead of him. I was going to give up as I was low on primogems and thought I would wait until Alhaitham's banner to wish again. But I decided to go for him anyway and still got him 17 pulls after Diluc.

I've been using Ayato and Raiden on the same team for a long time and it's really satisfying. Then I got nahida and used Ayato, Raiden, Nahida, and Zhongli as my main team. However in the Abyss my main team is Ayato, Thoma, Nahida, and Kazuha as a burgeon team. Both Ayato and Raiden are very versatile and strong characters.

Nahida, Ayato, Raiden, Zhongli Enough said. Most comfortable Hyperbloom team out there

I was searching this kind of video everywhere. Thx alot

ayato alongside kokomi is my favourite hydro character - he’s so comfy to play and doesn’t require a lot of setup, it’s nice to just use his skill and kill everything without having to look at cooldowns or energy :’) he makes taser teams so fun as well! i have childe and have used yelan a lot on friends’ accounts and while they’re good, they just don’t /feel good/ to me as i value comfort and simplicity over anything else! he’s a great pull and so under appreciated. and raiden slays, she’s been hard carrying my ass since her release, i never had issue getting 36* stars ever since i built her lol

I got Ayato, Jean, and Raiden today. Needless to say, I’m estatic bc it only took 110 wishes. I used all my luck today.

Got Raiden in my first 10 pull... U won't understand how beatiful is this for my 90 pulls saved, and as a f2p player.

I really hope Focalors combines both Yelan and Kokomi aspects. Or be something entirely new of herself

I got Ayato on his first banner and I use him with Shinobu, Beidou and Dendro traveler, which is really nice, I’ll def get nahida on her rerun

Thank you for the video zy0xxx I was waiting for an updated guide for both wrt to dendro since forverrr searched the entire net and couldnt fine anything :( Thank you again!!!

raidens E also procs on hyperbloom damage hits which will once again proc hyperbloom on the cores in the area, so it's almost recursive with itself. It's insane. I have c2 raiden, and i'm still using her almost exclusively in hyperbloom LOL. By far the strongest single target team i've ever had.

I’m waiting for alhaitham over ayato as I can get away with the hydro units I have, but only really have nahida for dendro. Plus Yelan’s rerun will be next patch and I’m getting her no matter what so I’ll have another hydro character anyways. That being said Raiden is my favorite character gameplay wise (she’s incredibly flexible and fun) so I’d definitely recommend pulling for her!

ayato is such a fun character to play, i’ve had him since his release and whenever im in doubt i just whip him out

Thank you Zyox for the Raider update because i just got her like yesterday and you are the best Genshin Streamer there is

With Raiden, you also forgot to mention the archon team! Sticking all four archons on the same team is absolutely godlike in its utility and damage 😁

This is good info! Thanks for the video. I just pulled Ayato because I already had Raiden and they're both so good together with Nahida.

Building my hyperbloom team around Ayato, Yae+DMC+Kazuha and boyyy they're so much fun even on low level (mostly lvl 60) they can carry me through floor 11 (on the brink of death coz this teamcomp is squishy) now I'll be spending months building this team coz they don't have proper artifacts yet

Won the 50/50 for Raiden and her weapon 😌, more than enough for the next update.

Raiden using 20% of her kit and still somehow having a viable team with dendro💀

Don't forget the only Physical character Eula is a great pair with Raiden if you like her, she can be hardly considered as Meta considering all of the new enemies we got and the lack of Physical related character and buff but she is still a decent and just showcase how good Raiden is as a flex character for her decent damage and energy generation I sometimes pair her with the like of Xiao, Ayaka, or Fischl Xiangling Bennett combo when my Xinqiu is in other party while the enemy is a boss that don't get affected by overload knockback. Heck sometimes I pair her with the other archon to make full archon team for the lul, not the best but fun and effective enough to kill most things

Raiden's such an amazing character, her demo is still one of the best the music is incredible

As a Xiao main, im also gonna main Ayato .... got get that "Vermillion Value".....

This video is really nice as it teaches hwo to use them with Dendro which I feel is important, but I'm also laughing at how I just nod at all of this while still running Raiden National and Ayaka/Ganyuu freeze

zyox....coming here after your streams gives me severe whiplash

ER Raiden is already so broken but EM Raiden only use 20% of her kit but still strong. What a queen.

I got very lucky yesterday and got both of them very early. Thanks for this well timed vid Zyox.

Pulling Nahida is truly one of the most of all time

Here's tip for new players.... I am new player myself... Playing for a month... I was kinda struggling to clear content(not spiral abyss) ... Like some quests in chasm or enkanomiya... .. My max dmg was around 12,13k with xingling and xinqu... Due to higher world lvl... It was hard... This is 2nd day of me hving raiden on my team... Just with bannet first time i saw 66k dmg like, 1 cycle Regisvin, got new achievement of doing over 50k dmg... I prefarmed catch and her material in co-op... I also farmed her domain in co-op .. Got really trash artifacts... My raiden shogun is hitting 50k-60k with catch... U know what my stats are??? 52 crit rate without weapon and around 110 crit dmg, and energy recharge is 266% using atk goblet... I can not understand with these shitty stats how can she hit so hard... I am having so much fun clearing all enimes... At C0... I love her and i will 100% recommend her Yes

First (like the shadow that wants to shine bright, like me so I shine once in my life)

ive had raiden since her release and was looking for a hyperbloom build because i wanna start using her again. just tried her out with nahida and ayato and its very fun! i enjoy it more than rational.

Can we talk about how Ayato does DMG? I love the fact that you can just use his E skill and it makes him do DPS damage to the enemies. Alternatively you can use his ultimate which will cause him to do DPS damage as well.

This is a great video but also have you considered uploading ur updated Diluc guide?

As someone who saved primogems for months to get C2 Raiden, and then nearly a year perfecting her emblem of severed fate set, I cannot in good conscience bring myself to build her pure EM just for hyperbloom 😅

Just got Raiden and added her to my Itto team until I can get a better replacement to fit. Shes only level 20 and shes crazy strong, i love how i can use her charged attack and continue dealing damage even after I switch back to itto. It makes boss battles so much easier

me, wanting ayato, then choking remembering my pity.

there's one thing about Raiden is that her E also get triggered from hyperbloom reaction, so if you can apply dendro fast and consistently like with yaoyao, you can make an automatic team

Elemental Burst - Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu Gathering truths unnumbered and wishes uncounted, the Raiden Shogun unleashes the Musou no Hitotachi and deals AoE Electro DMG, using Musou Isshin in combat for a certain duration afterward. The DMG dealt by Musou no Hitotachi and Musou Isshin's attacks will be increased based on the number of Chakra Desiderata's Resolve stacks consumed when this skill is used. Musou Isshin While in this state, the Raiden Shogun will wield her tachi in battle, while her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be infused with Electro DMG, which cannot be overridden. When such attacks hit opponents, she will regenerate Energy for all nearby party members. Energy can be restored this way once every 1s, and this effect can be triggered 5 times throughout this skill's duration. While in this state, the Raiden Shogun's resistance to interruption is increased, and she is immune to Electro-Charged reaction DMG. While Musou Isshin is active, the Raiden Shogun's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG will be considered Elemental Burst DMG. The effects of Musou Isshin will be cleared when the Raiden Shogun leaves the field. Chakra Desiderata When nearby party members (excluding the Raiden Shogun herself) use their Elemental Bursts, the Raiden Shogun will build up Resolve stacks based on the Energy Cost of these Elemental Bursts. The maximum number of Resolve stacks is 60. The Resolve gained by Chakra Desiderata will be cleared 300s after the Raiden Shogun leaves the field.

I got raiden in 80 pulls and won 50/50. She's my first 5 star too so I'm really happy.

Just to mention dori’s energy is literally not a problem. She essentially has a 60 cost burst with a passive that refreshes her skill (better if using sac greatsword/4pc thunder fury) and gives herself 5 energy for every 100% energy recharge she has each time you use that skill. Making ER a worthwhile sub stat. You can tell she was made for a spread/aggravate team and works great in them 👍🏼

I've cleared a lot of floor 12s with full stars with Ei, Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Bennett. This cycle, I used Nahida instead of Xiangling and it worked really well for the first half of floor 12. For 2nd half, I used Goro, Ganyu, Albedo, and Noelle.

me trying to decide between Ayato or the very very likely Hu Tao rerun in the 2nd half of 3.4. I don’t have a guaranteed but I have 9250 primos saved. I swear Hoyo is choosing what banners to rerun that screws people over the most 💀

I’m waiting till the end of the banner to decide to pull either way, I mostly came here to see Zy0x’s calm and informative side rather than the chaotic and incredibly based side I see in the clips videos on that other channel

Bob Jones comment waiting room ThoseWhoKnow

Nice vid! Always my go-to for guides! Thank you so much!

You'll never hear RU-vidrs say this (because they tend to write off a lot characters as being 'trash', despite never actually using them or even leveling them up) but Raiden Shogun synergizes REALLY well with Barbara in a tazer comp. If you also have Nahida, the 3 of them together work GREAT as a team (Dendro Traveller or Collei can work quite well as a Nahida replacement if need be). Use Nahidas skill, followed by Shoguns skill, then use Barbaras normal attack and you'll trigger Bloom and Hyperbloom reactions like CRAZY!

4:40 I can hear the pain in your voice, Zyonixx

I wonder how good Ayato is in freeze teams

I'm here after back to backing Ayato and his sword tonight. I was hoping for Raidens polearm but here i am trying to learn how to use this guy XD

I really wonder how Raiden will pair with Alhaitham.

Was just watching your last raiden guide after gaining my own when this popped up :D

"Raiden Shogun is going to be a bit more of a complicated character in terms of her synergy with Dendro" My 32000 Hyperbloom damage:

Thanks for wishing us good luck for our pulls Mr.Zy0nix

Ayato kinda oversold here. Basically if you are Ayato simp pull for him. If not, he is not worth any primogems. Nilou can provide off field Hydro without waiting for her burst and she also inables powerful bloom teams. Childe has Quickswap and Burst potential while Yelan is just overall the strongest Hydro character hands down. If you need a hydro character just stick to XQ, Barbara and or Mona until you can pull for Yelan. Yelan is the answer to everything. Don't pull for Ayato unless you are a simp then more power to you. But generally Ayato is not worth pulling.

I was Waiting For Your Video The Moment Banners Show up.

What a wholesome family friendly RU-vidr

came home with c2 raiden and engulfing today very happy (didnt lose a single 50/50)

your videos are bangers i await the next upload. however, you shine me in a light that makes me look as if i am not normal. i am so normal. i am so normal that other normal people are like wow. he is like me but more normaler i wish i could be as like him normal!

hey XD have you heard of the possibly new meta reaction called retroburgeon? I feel like that could be an interesting video talking about it XD

Thx I got Ei yesterday and I was waiting for this

My Ayato made my whole friendgroup pull for him now. He pretty, he stronk (because i invested a shitton into him lol), he slurpin' boba.

When the character equipping this artifact set heals a character in the party, a Sea-Dyed Foam will appear for 3 seconds, accumulating the amount of HP recovered from healing (including overflow healing). At the end of the duration, the Sea-Dyed Foam will explode, dealing DMG to nearby opponents based on 90% of the accumulated healing. (This DMG is calculated similarly to Reactions such as Electro-Charged, and Superconduct, but it is not affected by Elemental Mastery, Character Levels, or Reaction DMG Bonuses). Only one Sea-Dyed Foam can be produced every 3.5 seconds. Each Sea-Dyed Foam can accumulate up to 30,000 HP (including overflow healing). There can be no more than one Sea-Dyed Foam active at any given time. This effect can still be triggered even when the character who is using this artifact set is not on the field

Letsgoo just won five 50/50 in a row and Raiden's signature on 3 pulls(3 Raidens and her signature with 180fates) SIUUUUUUU

Nahida, Kuki, Ayato and Mona for the last slot with TTDS and Nobless pumps ayato to amazing heights, especially with Hydro resonance giving HP, which in turn gives attack to him as well.

The team i am building right now 😍 although i am using ayato raiden rosaria and nadia... I was waiting got your video to come out. 😍

So happy i got the two of them 😭 i hope y'all have nice pulls too!

I cant see these videos the same way after watching so many zyox clips

Thank you!!! This is really helpful, cuz I had a debate wether to get Ayato, or Raiden, so this really helps! (Only cuz I was garunteed).

Zyox: _shorter video_ 11:45 NPC: " *Really drags on...* "

Between your amazing editor and the pure content you just bring out, I honestly can say I'm really happy to have found and subscribed to you man. Also major bonus points for that advertisement for the pure fact that the other three had a funny input too! It was the most entertaining ad I've ever seen. Also happy birthday!

our boy is still making content

As someone who has had both character since the first release: pull for them, they're both great characters and have great weapons

Me having both Raiden in 2.5 and AYATO in 2.6 and with the introduction of DENDRO gosh! It made them even better.

Thanks for the guide i just got raiden and im really happy with her im having lots of fun playing her with nahida and honestly i prefer aggravate only cause its more fun but anyways thank you so much :)

Tried Raiden hyperbloom yesterday without proper artifact sets and a lvl 70 dragon's bane 🤧 noblesse xingqiu, tenacity kokomi, emblem dmc, 2shime 2wt raiden (500+em) Was able clear all first halves within 90s I love this team's ease of use lol also cuz pew pew pew Am doubly excited to pull for Yelan and Nahida now

The pain in your voice when you mentioned the echoes artifact hit deep

Got both Ayato (with his weapon) and Raiden (currently building an R5 Catch). End of year luck was on my side 🤩

Thanks Zy0x i subscribed to you on youtube and instantly got c2 raiden in 40 wishes

I like how this is an updated review on Raiden and Ayato while dropping some burn on Dori 💀

Just got Raiden. RIght on time!! Thanks Mr. Zyox (Zyonix)!!

4:40 the pain in his voice when he said “I farmed this set for Xiao” lmfaoooo
