Introduction

Hello, my name is Duotem and I'm a semi competitive player on PC(ign:Duotem). I've played on two different challenger teams and made it to wildcards in the AVGL Fall 2016 tournament. This guide assumes you know the solo role and deals with the theory around the build.

Pros / Cons

Pros
High sustain
High late game damage
Good teamfight control
Power and movement speed auras

Cons
Terrible early clear
Gets screwed by walls

Items

Start

Amaterasu has very poor clear early on, which can cause her to get very poked out. The extra health sustain from Death's Toll allows her to heal on minions to keep from being forced back immediately.

Boots 1: You want to finish first, for clear, and this lets you buy several potions for early sustain.

Potions: You want 4 health and 4 multi so that you have maximum hp regen possible. The mana regen is pretty much covered by blue buff.

My Generic Build Path
Warrior Tabi, High Protections vs Lane Opponent, Health item, Opposite Protections from lane if rotating otherwise still vs Lane Opponent, Situational, Situational

Possible Second Items

Physical Defense

Magic Defense

Health

Relics

Skills

After auto attacking an enemy 3 times they begin taking 10% increased damage from all sources. This allows you to solo people early if the underestimate the damage and allows your team to blow people up late game.

One of your most important abilities. You give your team a power or movement speed aura depending on your stance. You also heal yourself every time you switch. Knowing when to use this ability is key to playing this god.
Max this second for sustain and team utility

This ability provides damage mitigation and shoots out damage in a straight line after 5 seconds. You can also hit the button again to pop the ability early do damage.
Max this first for lane clear and fighting

Silences enemies in a straight line ahead of you as you dash forward. However, the enemy can block it by stepping in front of you.
Max this 3rd for damage in lane

This ability hits in a large area and scales based on how many of the three hits connect. The first hit just does damage. Connecting with a second gets a 20% increase in base damage and will slow enemies hit. Hitting all three strikes results in 40% increased base damage and a stun on the final hit. However, player made walls will block it.
Max this last

Question: Wait for the last 4 levels to fill ult? Seems like that mitigates a lot of Ama's mid-game ability to not only initiate but to finish 1v1s against bad match ups as well?

I mean, if you never leave lane that works perhaps? What's the thought process here behind not having her be as synergistic as possible though when and/if she rotates through late early and mid-game?

(10) |

It's overall preference between maxing the dash first or leveling the ult after maxing the 1 and 2.

I prefer maxing the dash because it's up 4 times as much as the ult so I like having it to help secure kills and wear down mages since I want to silence them anyway. In a strict 1v1 sense having dash maxed is an extra 120 damage on the target at level 16.

Since solo lane is spent mostly in lane through the early game/early-mid game it allows me to wear down the opponent over time forcing them back to gain and advantage and save me ult for the rotations I can make when they're backed or I have the wave pushed up. I also tend to use the ult less for damage and more for utility with the slow and the stun to set up my mage and disrupt the enemy team rather than saving it to secure a kill.

If I find that I haven't been able to farm enough to keep up to where I should be in levels or I've destroyed the lane and am spending barely any time there I might consider prioritizing my ult then.
