Review
Our launch demon, Ayame remains a very valuable DPS and Debuffer even in current meta thanks to her recent buffs in November 2023.
She has one of the most versatile kits in the roaster ranging from DPS, Controller, DoT, Buffs and debuffs earning her an easy slot in various team comps.
Her Main is screenwide AOE attack causing damage and bleed to targets, and if the target already has existing bleed, she hits them for additional damage and her attacks becomes critical hits. This allows her to have insane synergy with Velanna allowing an easy setup for bleed to use Velanna main and ultimate for maximum DPS and in most cases this combo allows you to win the match. Her ult is similar in nature but features a smaller AOE radius & lack of guaranteed critical hits making it bit lackluster compared to her main.
Her Sub Winding Grip deals considerable damage while disrupting the enemy with Bind Debuff, and her disruption abilities are further enhanced by her Passive Alluring Mirror, which charms the enemy with highest attack and further increases the targets attack by 100% so it inflicts more damage to the enemy.
Then perhaps comes her most important ability - Her Sub Encroaching Night. With it she can decrease the enemy speed thanks to the stacking debuff 'Encroach' that will turn into 'Corrosion' at 3 stacks, that will decrease the enemy ATK and DEF by 20% for 15 seconds. This can setup some tremendous burst windows, combined with the fact that with her artifact enemies affected by 'Corrosion' will receive 10% or 20% extra damage (at Origin) which is universally welcome in all game modes. Her artifact Mirror of Tsukuyomi is also one of the most powerful artifacts in-game providing Ayame with Mana Regen for her own, decreasing enemy Mana in an AOE radius while inflicting more damage if enemy is under Corrosion stage, making it one of best candidates for Origin Artifact down the line.
But because of being inherently difficult to obtain from the gacha pool due to being a Demon Faction, and Arena Coins shop taking more time to accumulate currency compared to Labyrinth Shop, Ayame is in the weird spot where she enjoys heavy investment but can't be built easily. But as a solace, her debuffing capabilities combined with her rather safe backline position allows you to utilize her as one of best debuffers in game even at lower rarity even if she might not be able to serve as main/sub carry at it.
As for bosses, Ayame is especially useful in Dark Knight Guild Boss when combined with Velanna due to her AOE damage, Bleed setup for Velanna Main and Ult. Outside that she is very welcome addition in all of the Guild Raids and ESS content due to her amazing Debuffs and Charm (for ESS).
All in all, her recent changes combined with the fact that she has highest Attack Scaling in the game, have made Ayame one of the strongest units in the game, being able to deal significant damage while crippling the enemy with her Debuffs.
Pros
Synergizes very well in DoT team
Great DPS
Area Mana drain on artifact.
Plethora of Very Useful buffs and debuffs for every content.
Cons
Requires investment - hard to accomplish as Demon.
Vulnerable to assassins and backline killers
