Ayame (UC) is one of the stronger melee damage trusts thanks to Samurai's naturally fast TP generation. Her Meditate ability means she uses weapon skills frequently, and the UC upgrade makes her even more efficient. She pairs well with skillchain-capable trusts and is a great choice when you need reliable physical damage output.
