While certainly not a weak point character, Amaterasu is primarily used as a support character in the anchor slot.

Additionally, she is considered by most to be a top tier comeback character (usually placed directly beneath vergil/phoenix/strider) due to her deadly combination of Veil of Mist + level 3 xfactor. She is most commonly used with Doctor Doom due to their THC synergy and team support package. | While certainly not a weak point character, Amaterasu is primarily used as a support character in the anchor slot.

In a nutshell
Amaterasu is a unique and versatile character with a plethora of tools at her advantage thanks to her three different stances. She excels at controlling space with her respectable normals and has an admirable set of defensive tools in her arsenal.
Use her reflector stance for close confrontations as it gives her access to strong option selects and allows usage of her projectile and melee counters. Her glaive stance possesses incredibly disjointed hitboxes that allow for blunt rushdown when mixed with her air dash. Finally, her rosary beads stance is largely unused yet critically underrated. Her air normals while in this stance negate super armor and are incredible for space control and can be easily hit confirmed.
