What.

Buffs in Kamihime are really fucking shitty. For example, Atk Up buff versus Def Down debuff.
Atk Up: SSR grade is 20%, effectively 10% more damage (or less as your Grid improves), lasts 3/5 turns. About ~6~10% more damage (6% overall, but Full Bursting constantly under full buffs might maybe sometimes possibly get you closer to 10%) in total.
Def Down: SSR grade is -20%, effectively 20-28% more damage, 8 turn CD for 180 seconds = lasts enough for full uptime. About 20~28% more damage (20% more when going from 0% Def Down to -20%, 28% when going from -30% to -50%) in total.
You can make a similar comparison for Def Up and Atk Down as well.

It's not even a contest. BUFFS ARE SHIT. The only time when buffs start becoming a part of the equation is when we start getting bosses which are highly resistant to debuffs, which will supposedly happen later down the line (as soon as next event?).

What.

Amaterasu has a ludicrous hitrate on her Blind. You can rely on it to land better than Yamaraja's Combo-. Mind you that if either Combo-
gets resisted, it's basically a moot debuff.

What's really happening is the same as a mechanic on Elsword known as normalization, meaning when you hit a certain point, you get less payoff by increasing it... which a lot of things in this game also does. But since "doing as much damage as possible" is the main focus, the average damage of both skills really needs to be looked at. Also, I did say it can hit 7 digits and you explained a way how...
3.7m, not 3.4m. Also, smartypants, if you're so smart, please go ahead and tell me what kind of stats do you need in order to reach 3.7m with Yamaraja?

Let me give you a hint: those kinds of stats would be absolutely outrageous. Like, the kind of outrageous that why are you even bothering with skills when your auto-attacks are killing all content in a few turns...? I can't be bothered to make the maths, but I'm pretty sure you'd easily hit the auto-attack damage cap which is REALLY high.

Plus you're gonna have kami with buffs as well if you got for the "best fire kami" so until someone rolls around with a better kit including the same or stronger fire atk buff, that's a bit less damage getting pushed out.--

Hell, I've even been told multiple times before that getting ama on a ticket was redundant considering I had yama. Only real reason I got ama is due to defense in fights where I can't debuff

Gotta keep in mind that it can depend on the player's situation
"Situations" depend on RNG. "Should you get Amaterasu when you already have Yamaraja" isn't the correct question, the correct questions are "should you get Amaterasu when you don't have Svarog and Uriel yet?" (where the answer is "never" btw) and "should you get Amaterasu to upgrade Yamaraja when you don't have Mars yet?" (where the answer is "no" btw).


You're literally recommending for somebody to spend 50 bucks on a Hime for which there is a strictly superior version of. I don't care how much you whale, just please have respect for other people's money.

Come on. Just fuck off already and don't waste both of our time.
