When to Use Ayame

Ayame is an excellent melee DD trust thanks to Samurai's natural TP generation from Meditate, meaning she uses weapon skills frequently. She works well in any party composition that already has a tank and healer covered. A Unity Concord (UC) version of Ayame is also available for players in her Unity group.
