Amaterasu

How to play Amaterasu

Amaterasu is a melee warrior from the Japanese pantheon who deals physical damage. Top players play Amaterasu in the Solo lane.

In your kit, Glorious Charge (dash and silence) is your way in and out of fights. Glorious Charge (dash and silence) is your main crowd control. Divine Presence (speed or strength aura) and Heavenly Reflection (decrease damage, then fire) add damage and pressure. Your ultimate is Dazzling Offensive (multi-strike stun), on a long cooldown (about 90s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Illuminating Strike: attacks weaken enemies.

Community guides level Heavenly Reflection, Glorious Charge and Divine Presence first. Max Divine Presence first, then Heavenly Reflection, then Glorious Charge.

You are a front line fighter who deals damage and takes it. Walk into the fight first, start it with your crowd control, and stay on the enemy your team is focusing. In the solo lane you will often fight one on one, so attack when their key ability is on cooldown.

Start with Death's Embrace, then buy Shifter's Shield. Your core is Golden Blade and Berserker's Shield, and you finish with Shogun's Ofuda, Kinetic Cuirass and Freya's Tears. A good relic is Blink Rune. If the enemy team heals a lot or you keep dying, open the full tool and enter the enemy gods for the exact swaps.

If you own Aspect of Valor, it reworks Divine Presence (attack buff). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Nox, Chiron and Cerberus, and struggle against Geb, Rama or Sylvanus. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
