Debuffer
We have reworked our tier list owing to multiple meta shifts and how we rate characters. As such some of the reviews (especially of older characters) might not match the tier list ratings. Please prioritize the ratings given over provided Review. We will be working on updating all reviews, but it is a time-consuming endeavor.

Attack Sequence - S1 > S2 > NA x 3 > S3
Ayame has held up well since her balance patch back in November 2023. Ayame immediately starts the combat by casting her S1 - Winding Grip and S2 - Encroaching Night in succession. With good positioning, Ayame can control the tempo of the fight by trapping enemies and deploying a powerful slow and Mana drain effect on the enemy frontline. Later into the fight, her S3 can further delay the highest ATK target by charming them, even finishing the fight at times. The combination of ATK/ DEF shred, Damage Amp and Mana drain also allow her to transition well into Raid content.
The combination of Ayame’s Bind CC, Charm, Slow and Mana Drain is still quite potent in today’s meta, but she is held back by several factors. Ayame’s S1 and S2 are heavily influenced by her positioning which must be considered to maximize them. Her impact is also muted by the 3 Normal Attacks in her attack pattern.
While she can be purchased for free each month via Arena coins, it would take a full year to get her fully ascended. The release of Chaotic Souls, which compete with her for Arena Coins, also presents an opportunity cost. Lastly, the presence of more readily available and powerful debuffers means that it might not be as feasible to dedicate time and resources to her.
Pros
Potent combination of Bind, Slow and Mana Drain.
Transitions well into Raid as a Damage Amp.
Bleed Team Core.
Cons
Wants investment - harder to accomplish as a Demon Soul.
Needs smart positioning to maximise her debuffs.
