Thread: Amaterasu top tier? draw or no draw~

I was lucky enough to pull an SSR Amaterasu and I can say from my experience that she's a must have IMO. She hits hard, buffs defense and her health regeneration is a huge benefit!

Congratz~

that two just a + for her (reg 200 per round for 3 turns and def up... ultimate hits like a truck 200 won't matter), her main point is the debuff and blind. Able to stack 3x - minus armor for bosses(Dark amon/Tyr, Amaterasu + yamata no orochi eido)

But if u going for D'art... then will be pointless.... D'art debuff can't put into the stack(i tried and feelsbadman.... was hoping debuff x4)

Well, D'art wouldn't stack there as her debuff is B-frame, same as Amaterasu's. But that aside, Dark Amon/Amaterasu/Yamata-no-Orochi adds up to 57% defense debuff. The effective cap's 50%. Tyr/Amaterasu/Yamata-no-Orochi would be under the cap at 42% though.

wouldn't brynhildr be better than ama cuz of the up to double atk rate
or is the ++++ def from ama more useful for boss fights

If you have both, you'd use both. Brynhildr's heal is better as a primary source of healing, while Amaterasu's works great as a secondary. Outside of healing, they don't overlap in what they offer. And healing is one of the things that you can get away with doubling up on.

In a vacuum, we can get a rough idea of a defense buff's value from looking at the damage formula, but combo attack buffs/debuffs have not been nailed down. Wiki cites Amaterasu's def buff as A-frame +30%. That's really nice, when defense's involvement in the damage formula looks to be (product of attack stuff multiplied together) / (defense +/- buffs and debuffs). If there are no other modifiers to defense involved, throwing on that +30% changes damage from (attack_product)/1 to (attack_product)/1.3, which is basically reducing damage by a quarter. A nice, big defense buff is one of the handy tools you have to reduce boss attacks from whatever gaudy numbers they originally have to far more manageable levels.

another 3k jewels, trying to get Amaterasu, but instead got Hecatonchires... Considering i already have Michael and Sol, game really wants me to forget fire and stick to light, huh... Oh well, no Ama for me i guess =_=
