Items

Any of the items in these 3 builds will combo well together, don't focus to much on defense as Amaterasu is extremely offensive minded warrior, frostbound is the only mandatory item in these 3 builds, use shield of regrowth instead of attack speed if u feel ur dying to much(who needs defense when they can't even hit you), for you get shield of regrowth buy it early, jotuns is great early and mid game to keep your ult coming considering it's your main focus st that time but jotunns can be sold late game as it tends to fall off in value, crits are awesome on ama even though it doesn't sound likely,but if enemy team is focusing you bypass crits and buy shield and cloak and laugh ur *** off while they chase you and fail

Abilities

0. Her Passive puts a debuff on enemies that cause them to take 10 percent more dmg after 3 basic attack(easy to do with her attack chain)

1. Your one is your main sustain ability, the blue aura gives you and allies a 10 percent sped boost while the orange is a 10 percent damage boost

2. The shield mitigates a good amount of damage if your in the thick of it but also charges all damage received and given and can be line shot at enemies, don't let it mislead you, this ability does huge dmg.

3. Her main escape but be careful because you can get stuck on enemies, also silences enemies for 1 sec to pull off some pretty sweet saves for your allies(counters continuous abilities like bachus burp or guan yus shred

4. Her bread and butter 3 heavy hits whereas the last hit stuns, always enable your 2 before ulting for aprox 1500 dmg at max ranks, don't miss a hit btw

Early game

Real simple, you suck early game, try to avoid dying and farm minions with you 2 always charging it with a few minion hits before releasing

Mid game

Finally you'll start to shine, focus mainly on using ur ult and 2 combo to try and one hit mages or escape less assassins, and constantly poke with a charged 2, you still don't want to be the one initiating unless you focus your ult on a squishy and then dash out with ur 3, your play style needs to be more like an assassin than a warrior look more for getting in quick hitting them with everything and getting out.

Late game

Lvl 12 and beyond you can 1v1 almost anybody, use your speed to pick off whoever falls out of line, auto attack damage will really shine especially with frostbound and your speed you can lock down anybody, in team fights try to focus your last hit of ur ult on as many of the enemy team as possible, and don't be afraid to initiate with your dash

Pro tips

1. Continuously use ur 1 for heals/sustain especially early game

2.whwn attacking try to position itself behind them facing towards your towers to make escaping more possible

3. With ur speed aura your faster than most and can dash further than most dashing behind enemy lines can make for a better escape at times

4.ALWAYS enable ur 2 before ulting, once there stunned you can get 3 hits easy for your 10 percent debuff before your 2 is released

5. Your 2 can be released early

6. To poke initiate your two, dash into them, get 3 hits and release ur 2 while backing away.

7. Use the silence on ur dash to save friendlys from enemy abilities

8. Your ult can double as a extra long purification, counters Aries with ease

9. Attempt to initiate with attack aura up and switch to speed aura to either escape or chase

10. If ur losing a 1v1 pop your frenzy and that will change fast

ENJOY

Amaterasu if by far one of the most under appreciated gods in this game, she's is absolutely broken if played the right way, remember she is an OFFENSIVE minded warrior that plays more like an assassin.
Don't build much defense you escape is good enough to not need it, always stick to your enemy and praise her game changing ult! Please comment if you have any troubles with this guide
