Amaterasu is a warrior with a strong support vibe. She makes wide use of both offensive and support auras while also having a good damage output and crowd control abilities. Let's take a look at her skills:

• Passive : Illuminating Strike
  • Amaterasu illuminates enemies she hits with Basic Attacks. After three hits on the same target the enemy gains an Aura, exposing their weaknesses and causing them to take more damage (10%) from all sources for 5 seconds. Any other enemies that come near the afflicted target are weakened as well.
    • Max Auras Possible: 3.
