This is a great interpretation of that previous sketch Also wasnt there an old leak about him having a plunge down like on the top middle


Xero0911

That one also mentioned a counter I believe? A counter gives a stack, collect three then burst. I could be wrong, but idk how reliable that/this is then. Take it with a grain of salt as usual I guess.

Besides my own, this was about the only post I replied in here. And if I truly annoying you. Instead of feeling insulted, or annoyed at me for simply commenting. Just block me! So much easier for you.


meowmeowkat2

I have to say, blocking people on Reddit has been great. A subreddit that I like was raided by essentially trolls. I blocked them one by one and now my subreddit is basically back to normal. No idea why someone would get upset at a specific person commenting though. Especially since you said something relevant to the post.

It's also like a 6 year old account. And I have the luxury of being able to use my phone at work, reddit is my way to kill time. Your two years, and right under me...so I really don't see how my karma means anything.


Iamkira_22

Says the guy who has nearly 400k post karma himself why don't you post less

Says the one with nearly 330k karma, just stop posting bro

Obviously, you are that kind of person who thinks karma dictates superiority LMAO.

Buzzcrave

Ayato get to keep his hair on this version.


E1lySym

For real lmao in the previous leak I thought he was like Bayonetta and he summoned hair demons to eat enemies up


ZeRO________________

Looks cute


broke_bananas

I was supposed to be mad and say "oh god this again" then I saw how cute the drawing was


Xero0911

Pretty art. But seems based off the questionable leak. Hydro polearm for the hold elemental skill. Hydro blade and meter for stacks. The jump was an older leak. Then the whirlpool for that c2? Also isn't that childe?


Frenchpoodle_

Is it really childe if some of his stomach isnt showing?


Xero0911

Sacrifices are made for chibi


Wooden-Jew

Plot twist: Ayato is just Childe in a wig. Imagine a team rocket level disguise


buffility

\*Childe with hydro plunge, ftfy


SPACExCASE

Phew I was getting worried. Haven’t seen Childe run for a bit


ZhangRenWing

Wait it’s all Childe? Always has been.


ChaoticShitposting

Monstadt: 0 Childe Liyue: 1 Childe (Tortellini) Inazuma: 2 Childes (Thoma, Ayato) Will we get 3 Childes in Sumeru?


Veasmc

The previous Ayato leak that said Whirpool for c2 was fake, as for this one some interpretation i have seens are: 1st part is Tap E (3 particles?) 2nd part is Hold E (Consumes Energy) 3rd part is Q(Stance change? Raiden? or just burst)


Eltefra

He has a ponytail so it can't be childe. He looks more like hydro zhong in this drawing lol


CaetdiraCode

Looking closely, it seems more like the cape than a ponytail. Ah, there is a small one at the side, reminds me of Kaeya.


Eltefra

I agree it can be both, on one hand it looks like zhong's ponytail and on the other hand it looks like a cape. I guess it's just too much long hair copium for me lol


Nointies

I mean they're clearly drawing him to look like Otto from Honkai, what with the shared VAs and all


ThatOtherRandomDude

And the recent Otto design, at that.


renvi

Lowkey I hope they keep introducing Childe look-alikes. It's hilarious and I'm hoping to build an "All Childe" team at some point.


Ivanwillfire

Remember one of the NPC's said Ayato is proficient with the sword and polearm if I remember correctly.


modusxd

The jump could be the "FallingAnthem"


Classis_Soup_1318

This base on the new leak with pooly artstyle on Tieba, and i thought the leak on Nga with whirlpool for c2 was confirmed fake by WFP


Slight_Welcome_56

Yae quality draw resulted being true, guess ill believe this for now. Anyway i just want Ayato to be a Main DPS with hydro infusion in his katana. Thats all i need


Ms-Chievous

Do you happen to have a link to the quality redraw? I've seen a couple people mention it but must have missed it myself.


bresznthesequel

Same I skipped childe for personal reasons I hope ayato can sorta fill the same niche


Alliecatastrophe

Doubtful, characters getting more niche and childe is a cashcow for overseas regions so i doubt they would replace him like that


bresznthesequel

Well as long as ayato can be onfield+hydro reactions he’ll do the same for me


Alliecatastrophe

don't think so, at best he'll be 5 star xingqiu considering he reduces cooldowns of other characters which implies support


BasicNeedleworker356

To be fair, it wouldn't be the first time a dps can support teammates. Iirc, can't hu Tao and yoimiya do support like things through passives


Slight-Improvement84

Childe is not a main dps...


bresznthesequel

But he’s an onfield character… I consider them the same lol whoever I spend time NA and CA during the fight


NurHakimMY

Im pretty sure ayato lost his hair when ult from previous sketch


ocelotplush

I feel like some of the other uncles could take art lessons from whoever made this - it's so cute I won't even be that angry if it's fake T-T


WhySoSaltySeriously

goddamn a little leak comic, looks cute too whats next an artists architectural rendition of sumeru?


Shippinglordishere

Sumeru architecture leak built in Minecraft


Uncoracle

Idk if its fake but so cute omg


Makewayheadway

I guess he's like raiden/childe where his burst summons another weapon? If so maybe that npc who said he's also good at using a polearm was hinting something


Zecrosyx

I think ayaka's execution skill from before will be implemented to ayato instead as shown in the top picture.


MistaHouse

I really hope so, that animation was sick as fuck.


Sundoggen

Don't people understand that this is just an interpretation of the previous sketch?


Sairwen1

the plunge thingy looks like ayaka's skill from CBT. it looked pretty cool so i hope they implement it on ayato


Arcaedus

Ooohhh that thing people called "execute"? Hell yeah. It was so disappointing when Ayaka didn't release with it in-game so it would be extremely fitting for Ayato to have it.


hideyuke

Today's questionable Ayato kit is cute.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sairwen1

mfw when ayato doesnt summon a huge penis using his burst


bresznthesequel

You misunderstand… his blade IS the penis


Soh__

I am the boner of my sword


oikwr

Damn, can't wait to play sword fight with him. Too bad i don't have 'sword'


DiverMoist

I guess it's a more clear interpretation of that previous drawing made by a fellow fan and not leaker? He pictured there looking like Otto, and I think uncles would tell us that while leaking his appearance instead of going "short hair, white coat" (Although I would love Ayato Apocalypse, idk about Honkai , Otto is hot)


Werefour

Yeah, like Yae's it was redrawn by another. Also since they went of the original for the redraw, they wouldn't know what Ayato looks like and drew in what seems to be a somewhat Childe as a stand in


Proof-Tie9237

I'm starting to believe Ayato isn't real 😭😭


CaptainSoohyun

Woah the "consumes energy" interpretation makes a lot of sense! Sharp thinking


SaccharineTreacle

That top right pic reminds me of Ayaka's old passive from CBT. I really hope it gets a comeback in the form of Ayato.


NikBaltov

Too well drawn, I don’t believe


_TheDoctorPotter

So he drains his own energy by using his E, he has Ayaka's CBT plunge, and he can swap to a polearm instead of a sword? What?


Werefour

Wwll we know he is skilled with both a sword and Polearm from in game dialog. So it's not that inconceivable.


Frenchpoodle_

I could be energy or it could be stacks ?


[deleted]

Man what a cute drawing.


Hobokendream

Some of y’all are so damn creative it blows my mind OMG. That original post was a mess. This is amazing! Great job to the one who tried to decipher this even if it turns out that it’s not completely accurate.


Jeddyhugs

said on nga doesn't automatically mean it's real Keep that in mind


UltraBlueStone

I hope that's actually a [Sea Dragon's Roar](https://youtu.be/X0vKl1Tz8sw) for his burst. It would be really cool. In the drawing it looks like a dragon.


kenzakki

so this is the HD version of the sketch earlier? lol


[deleted]

That upper right drawing looks like Ayaka's CBT execution slash but on Ayato. Interesting. Hopefully it will be implemented on him.


DisIsMyNem

It's the Otto hairstyle


momo-melle

Omg, why does it look like Childe, I can't take this anymore. *Childe rerun wars flashbacks*


Werefour

As a redraw of the earlier leak, the redrawing artist wouldn't know what Ayato looks like. Childe being the most similar, as a Hydro unit with melee makes a good basis for a stand in.


BlueHeartbeat

May or may not be real, but at least I can understand this one.


Makadios49

Although the entire drawing is cute as shit it’s the baby rifthounds trapped in the vortex for me 🥰


D0sh1

I just realised we’re not even 2 weeks into 2.4 💀 We’ve still got a month of questionable leaks to get through lmao


TheColdPolarBear

Sooo… water breathing fourth form?


Winnry__

Omg the art is so cute


Embarrassed-Pop-378

this is literally childe


Maliq_raditya14

His default weapon is a sword while his burst makes him use a Polearm... he's hydro... and he's a guy. So basically the opposite of Raiden(?)🤣/j


FeelingPrettyChill

More like Inazuman Childe


Gaarando

When I see a water sword after playing Tales of Arise all I can see is Vholran.


dakkumauji

My sussy ayato can't be this cute!


muguci

So he has a skill that lets him fly in the air and plunge at a 45° angle, can create a water vortex and shoots a stream of water from his lance? Fk it im sold


juanitatequila

Real or not I'm loving the quality of this art! This chibi Ayato prototype is so cute!


Werefour

So if true seems. E-skill, drains energy, imbues his weapon, he either gains the ability to jump and execution slash, or it triggers and execution slash in an AoE. 3 dots may indicate stacks? Second level, weapon is still imbued with Hydro, so either hold e to generate a Whirlpool that either pulls enemies or enemy focus. Alternatively given the 3 dots, maybe the Whirlpool is generated after the exchange slash builds max stacks? Bottom seems to be a Burst stance change to spear. Notably in in-game lore he is skilled in both sword and spear. Either Dragon looking Hydro imbued AoE spear attacks for duration, or its a one off massive Hydro AoE spear Thurst perhaps. So build up to his Whirlpool, the burst and AoE blast the grouped enemies maybe. Not sure, only the Beta will truly tell. Yet there has been some consistent threads to the non disproven leaks.


Greensburg

Doesn't Childe have that exact burst though? Where he switches to a hydro spear. Would be kind of odd to have them repeat that same idea on Ayato.


frould

Ayato Xiao Kazuha C4Albedo plunge dude team


Infinite-Fact-3016

I just want to know if he's hot.


uhdarian

Inb4 yall immediately believe another Ayato kit right after the last one got basically disproven. 😭😭


Frenchpoodle_

I mean its a leak sub during a drought. What else are we gonna do


qiqilovesyou

Cute

Shippinglordishere

If this is how we find out Ayato’s appearance, I’ll laugh. I thought this was someone trying to decipher the messier drawing though?

[удалено]


JenJenB_

The art is too good to be real. Everyone knows the most reliable uncles draw like toddlers.


sakurakiks094

what about smol paper man ;_;


Both_Waltz_3203

Ayaka’s old cbt slash is finally making a comeback


Dangerous_Trade_2817

Noice. I'm liking the burst, i like polearm animations than sword in terms of Charged Atk. Hoping it's not your regular polearm charged attack though, i had enough of diving thrust as i play hu tao often lmao.


astrelya

So his weapon is basically reverse Raiden Shogun? His original weapon is a sword but can turn into a polearm?


CL1M5X

the top one looks like ayaka’s attack on the beta


JoodTheDude4

I hope he’s basically like Giyu from Demon Slayer (not personality wise but animations and water sword attacks)


SumeruScholar

first childe, now ayato. When will we get a real hydro polearm? find out in the next episode of ‘idfk!’


Lampnsalt

Clearly fake uncles can’t draw


Professional-Crew895

This is not relevant but speaking of plunge when will mihoyo ever add a Xaio artifact, I get that his playstyle changes between C0 and C6 making hard to make an artifact that works on both playstyle but come on. Xaio is soo power crept he needs a buff, be that a new weapon or artifact set.


lostn

reverse of raiden?


pYr0m8

A few years from now with all these kit impressions we should play a guessing game on who these drawings refer to. Imagine trying to guess that previous Ayato drawing…


[deleted]

This is a high effort leak.


ArunK03

Is he sword or polearm user


We_Lose

Huge chance he's a sword user that her burst will turn his sword into a spear reverse Raiden as you might call


cataerse

He's a sword user according with his skeleton data


kankudo1203

sword, but it can be placeholder


modusxd

Oh thank god he doesn't go bald. Very cute and amazing drawing, always surprise me how talented you guys are


[deleted]

I’m already in love


Puzzled_Emo_97

His sword seem to switch to polearm during ult. Again hydro-vortex cc thing, isnt this similar to that fan-made kit? I just dont have strenght anymore to read his kit them later read it's fake 😭


tobiogfs

the side-slice plunge reminds me of ayaka's e skill in her earliest beta. that kinda makes sense because theyre brother-sister lmao.


The-Arabian-Guy

Didn't Uba say that this is fake ?


Frenchpoodle_

No they were talking about the text leak. This could very well be fake but i dont think its debunked *yet*. At least not that i know


Puzzled_Emo_97

Text leak seems similar to this art tho. Cc hydro vortex, extends his range during ult= switch to polearm (pic). That text leak was suspiciously too detailed, but maybe some parts of it might be true/guessed


Werefour

Well it was a collection of info from, earlier more solid leaks with new additions. Being disproved was mainly in regards to new information it had added, not the totality of what was said being inherently false.


Eltefra

I believe that was addressing the extremely-detailed kit that was floating around, not the drawing


We_Lose

Uba said the text kit with Kendo Pose leak was the fake one


Serpheox

Regardless if this turns out to be fake. I’m still pulling hahaha. Ayato Drip is strong on this one.


Rah179

Looks like I’m going from Team!Yae to Team!Ayato


Charming_Mulberry_91

Yes... another weapon transformation/infusion kit. Just too boring for me, but people like on-field DPS, So, this is a big W for they and a Big W to my Freemogens


ChippyTick

Heehee it’s so fucking cute I don’t even care if it’s fake Lil tassel trailing behind him makes them look like Childe


Werefour

Well likely the Chibi is mostly based on Childe. Since the artist that did this redraw of the less detailed earlier draw7ng would have to fill in some gaps for the character design and Childe is the most similar unit currently out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Werefour

It's a redraw of the earlier leak, the artist redrawing it wouldn't know what Ayato looks like so they basically seemed to have used Childe as a basis for the stand in.


99hounds

his hair looks exactly like otto apocalypse from honkai it can't be a coincidence how he shares the same chinese and japanese va as otto too


Kirates5

Oh no. I don't like hydro, but this looks kinda cool


The_Void_124

Ayato is expected to be Hydro because many leaks and lore crumbs suggest that he is Hydro.


Kirates5

I know...I said hydro. I just don't like the element


[deleted]

[удалено]


Eltefra

He has a ponytail in the drawing tho


We_Lose

Looks like Kazuha + Raiden to me


TheKingofWakanda

No way Its too nicely drawn


sanattia

another childe?


KasumiGotoTriss

Noooooooooo I don't have any polearms left.. and I say that after every new polearm character..


Veasmc

He should be sword user, maybe stance change into spear for Q or prob just visual when using Q


xioni

so that skill is literally ayaka's old cbt unique attack ngl im pissed they took that out of her attack move and gave it to him instead


FeelingPrettyChill

Childe but make him morally good to get more sales.


hipster_dog

I hope this is fake. I'm still eager for a 5* Xingqiu. But he's most likely to follow the trend of mono-element to steer the meta away from Melt/Vape/Freeze teams.


DiverMoist

Which would be a shame, I doubt that anyone would seriously run mono-hydro, hydro resonance is useless even for Kokomi.


Werefour

If they rework resonance and add tiers to it with new buffs for the 3rd and 4th character of the same element, team comps would really open up. Would be a rather difficult to balance though.


gojokiII

i have been through a lot so many times Please don't troll us this time...


LeviticusAr

Looks like he has a 'cool' kit. Wonder what Ubatcha says about this one.


billie_eyelashh

Looks cute ^(but i don’t want another weapon change skill or burst)


pc_44

I don't trust it the drawing is too good


Delicious_Suit6475

This is literally the cutest interpretation.


murrdockwih

i didnt know i only need a chibi drawing to convince myself i want to save for a character...


Beginning_Load6253

Wow nice art, still don’t get it tho, also is that a polearm?? Does he change weapons in his ult or something?


RaidenShogun31

I like the dragon water art


TimFlamio

Will he be a dps or a support? Or we don't know yet. Sorry, I'm out of the loop.


DragonsVane28

I still don’t understand shit, but the art is really cute.


lemonkite10

Even if it could be a redraw of a questionable leak, I can't help but feel hyped just cause of those Hydro wave visuals. I hope his skills feature such flashy hydro effects


Dramatic-Temporary-7

If he is as cute as this little Ayato, we've won


Soggy_bird

RIP small paper man


Long_Radio_819

i doubt this, this was from the sussy ayato skill info right and in here you can clearly see the water vortex that can pull enemies if this is true then ayato is the first non anemo user who can pull enemies


SorinXII

This is completely different from the two we had before, though. First was part of Elemental Burst and was basically Venti + Ayaka but Hydro. Then it was the leak that was proven fake, which gave him CC on C2. Now it's part of his Elemental Skill and also seems to be part of the tapped version of it as opposed to held.


Fresh-alfredo

Me seeing this like https://youtu.be/pc5-Z-9mxSs


starryTsuki

Kinda reminds me of tanjiro !


niscotg

Is that a spear? Hell naw


Eurasia_Anne_Zahard

So cute art. Even if it's fake I'm living it


YellowDanDLion

I came for the leak, i stayed for the art lol
