Analysis
Review
The only demon unit in the game, Ayame’s kit packs a ton of DOT damage coming from her bleed. A highly invested Ayame (like the ones you face in current elite story stages) can easily wipe out your entire frontline if left unchecked, be it a cleanse, heal or distraction.
Her S3 also comes in handy by charming the highest ATK unit for up to 8 seconds, as well as boosting their ATK during the charm to make them inflict more damage to their own team. Her artifact also adds on a very useful mana drain for her S2 area, making her one of the only units to drain multiple units’ mana as long as they are in the area.
We foresee that with enough dupes in the future, she will be a staple in DOT comps or bleed comps, namely with units such as Velenna or Violette whose entire kit greatly benefits from bleeding or debuffed targets.
With Velenna’s release, Ayame’s bleed can greatly boost a hyper-carry Velenna’s DPS even at Epic rarity. Her usage should slowly increase with more bleed or DOT-focused units released in the future.
Sadly, unlike Adrienne, Ayame suffers greatly from the lack of dupes due to her kit being almost entirely DPS based. Adrienne can still function well without dupes due to the gimmicks such as hook and team-wide heals not being affected by stats, but the same cannot be said for Ayame.
Being inherently difficult to obtain from the gacha pool and even the PVP reward shop being much longer to accumulate than the Labyrinth shop, Ayame has yet to truly shine in the current meta. Aside from the difficulty of obtaining her dupes, Ayame is also extremely vulnerable to any assassins or AOE damage, as she herself is extremely squishy due to the lack of both stats and defensive abilities in her kit.
Single Bosses
Ayame’s DPS sadly falls short compared to other backlines like Vivi and Mephi, especially with the difficulty of obtaining her dupes and thereby stats. That said, DOT comps have opted to run Ayame as a bleeder and faction buffer to enhance Violette’s DPS.
PVP
Ayame is also extremely rare to find due to how squishy she is while not offering a lot on the table, though the situation could change in the future since her S2 is capable of draining up to 500 mana every 2 seconds at max artifact, even if it is a hefty investment.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Synergizes very well in DOT team.
Can delete frontlines if left unchecked.
Teamwide Mana Drain on artifact.
Cons
Requires heavy investment to shine as DPS and being a demon makes it all the harder.
Vulnerable to assassins and backline killers.
