Amaterasu, the benevolent goddess of the sun, known as "The Shining Light", Amaterasu is a solo god with high mobility and area damage thanks to her ultimate. Amaterasu is a Warrior and choosing the right relics and items for Amaterasu will maximize her power in battle.

As the first rays of dawn cross the horizon, before all else they touch the land of the rising sun. A realm of islands painted with the careful brush strokes of its deities. That morning light, which brings warmth and life is Amaterasu, the benevolent Goddess of the sun. Universally, she is adored. Less so are her brothers, namely Susano-o, bringer of storms, whose jealousy of his sister’s popularity drove him to burn her golden rice fields and shatter the sacred looms of her people. Grief stricken at the destruction, Amaterasu sealed herself inside a deep cavern. Her people suffered and the realm fell into crushing darkness. For an unknown time, she stayed there, hidden away from the atrocities of the world. Until, one day, came a thumping from outside. At first, she tried to ignore it, but curiosity called. Moving aside the great stone sealing the cavern, she peered cautiously out, only to stare into a polished bronze mirror. Blinded by her own reflection, Amaterasu was forced to creep further out to find the source of the sound. Hands grabbed her from either side and pulled her free of the cave. Gathered around were hundreds of friends and loved ones. Atop a wide tub danced Usume, Goddess of Mirth, creating the erratic drumming to the joy of all. Amaterasu smiled and light came back to the world. Seeing all those that depended on her, all those that loved her, Amaterasu vowed never again to hide away from calamity. She would, instead, face it, just as the dawn rises each new day.

• Your gold buff is very effective in sustaining exchanges, remember that.
• Your mirror is very good at times when you're going to receive a burst, and can totally turn a fight around.
• Always try to farm as much as possible during the Early game but never overdo it. She grows a lot during the game, with the right items. In the Mid/Late game it is very strong. Always try to use auras and your ultimate in the best way possible.
• Stay in you gold aura when farming in lane or during prolonged fights for the sustain, but switch to red when you are in a fight. You can always switch away from the red stance to disengage and heal up
• Late game your two is really key in mitigating as much damage as you can. You can always get damage off with it but when you are in a more lengthy game your job is to disrupt while getting in and out. Balancing your ultimate and two play a huge part in keeping Amaterasu alive.
• To stun with your ultimate you do not need to hit the same enemy 3 times. You can hit minions, 2 seperate enemies or even 3. As long as you hit 3 the final hit will stun whoever it lands on. This is good for switching up who you stun in a pinch to catch people off guard.

Amaterasu excels in the solo lane, where she can grow stronger through farming. She can also be played in the jungle, using her mobility and damage to gank lanes effectively.

Overall, play patiently in the early game, focusing on farm and objectives. In the late game, use your auras and ultimate strategically to control the battlefield and have a high impact in team fights​
