People with Dark Ama will mostly run with Ambush or not?
Wouldn't Lu Bu be a good substitute for her? I don't understand why she is so great/important in a dark team.
Is it because of versatility?

i think its because she offers both sniper shot and black propaganda, and this would allow u to run another soul besides mordred w/ sniper shot or having ur ex slot be something else besides these 2 skills

Seriously? Isn't that a little bit OP? She is an all in one packet.
That basically means a team with:
- Dark Ama
- Osiris
- Hades
- Satan/Thanatos/Amon Unleashed (next year)
- Shingen with Ambush or other offense Soul with Ambush... + Vine you will reach -50 attack and def.

That would be the "perfect" dark team and what if I want to use Pluto?

yeah, she's very good and the only problem with her is that she's limited edition which means not everyone can get her unless they get lucky

i actually haven't thought of a situation like that since I never got dark amat (and i dont know if im ever planning to get her since im not a whale)
you'd probably have to sacrifice one of those other himes you mentioned if you wanna squeeze pluto in I suppose

you could also consider Samael in the future because she offers dark RST debuff 25% and she has a debuff nuke like yamaraja's I think

Crap... that she is limited.
Satan and Samael would probably have a higher priority than Thanatos because they both offer -25% def down but then I can't run Ambush with Satan.
Debuff nuke? Dosen't Hades already offer a debuff nuke?

I could also use Pluto instead of Osiris and Cassiopeia or Andromeda as Soul.
But how effective is Pluto?

if you can already cover ambush with someone else like Satan/Amon U, then just run sniper shot w/ mordred (assuming you dont have dark amat and you want both sniper shot and black propaganda)

Uh no I don't think hades does that lol. what i meant with debuff nuke is that it deals damage based on the number of afflictions on the enemy (which would go well with mordred I guess but Samael also provides the same DoTs mordred does too i think, she also offers a combo atk down with it)
and if im reading this right, her dark res debuff 25% also comes with VoF

They would provide better heal, but not the +15 burst gauge that Osiris would give (it actually comes in handy in case u want to burst 1 turn early)
Pluto provides a 30% damage cut w/ light res 20% for the team, and also gives an atk buff w/ dark buff for the entire team also

as the first post said, she goes well with Osiris cuz she would increase your burst damage with her buffs
plus u can never go wrong with a damage cut for the entire team

Nice discussion here.

I have a similar question regarding my current dark team. I have dark ama and osiris.
In my case I should just get Hades (with the current miracle ticket) + Thanatos, Samael or Amon and use ambush as a ex skill.
However it's indifferent for which one I decide for my 4th SSR Hime (Thanatos, Samael or Amon) because I will need Ambush as a ex skill or not?

Is Pluto a must-have hime for a dark team, if I have dark ama?

Honestly i run that team with the exception of dark amaterasu and if i was to build a perfect dark team next year i would rather swap osiris cause her heal isnt great and shes only useful for burst.

I would go : Dark Ama, Hades, Satan and Amon.
I say this with the change to Amon in mind as she can pair with Satan by that time.

Considering Dark Ama is not available anymore i aim for this team in 1 year: Hades, Satan, Amon and Pluto.

imo if a player is aiming for a burst build w/ shingen, then I think Osiris will help a lot because of her +15 burst gauge for the entire team, and having a heal (even tho its not as great as Sol's heal) isnt too bad of an option

and who knows? Maybe she'll get an awakening in the future (which i want to believe, since I do think she badly needs it as she's the only SSR healer of Dark)

but its up to them if they want a backup heal w/ a chance to burst 1 turn early, or just go full offense with their teams
