Strategy/Usage

Amaterasu is an offensive unit against enemies with traits. Keep her well protected behind meatshields and watch her deal enormous damage to most traited enemies. She is both a good unit for newer players and later players, due to her typing.

If you have nothing better, don't be shy to use her on White Enemies like THE SLOTH or Master A. as she may deal lower damage compared to other choices, but she is capable of outranging them. While most generalists lose use later in the game (Thunder God Zeus, for example), as they do not perform as well as units specified for certain traits.

Additionaly, Amaterasu still shines throughout Stories of Legend, and well into later Uncanny Legends, as she is one of the few anti-Relic Cats who doesn't require Elder Catfruit or NP.

She is positive and hardworking, but when feeling down, she is likely to withdraw to the portable Ama-no-Iwato that she always has.

Quote: "My role is to light up the path and future of people"

Trivia

• The divine mirror "Yata no Kagami" refers to one piece of the Imperial Regalia of Japan, a set of three national treasures linked to state Shintō and the royal family and steeped in legend. These same three treasures (a mirror, a sword, and a jewel) pop up repeatedly in Japanese games across all genres. The real-life mirror of the set is believed to be housed in the Ise Grand Shrine, Japan's primary shrine dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu. And in case you were wondering, no, visitors cannot see it.
• Though she supposedly deals massive damage to Metal Enemies, they still only receive 1 damage from her attacks as Metal trait nullifies all damage to 1 unless it's a Critical Hit.
