Combat!

This post explains more of how Ammy moves, fights, and looks in battle. This way, if a friendly tussle or serious fight does happen, it's a bit more clear what exactly is going on during the fight.

Ammy's fighting style is out of this world! Pretty much literally. With a combination of holy weapons that SOMEHOW float over her back and the Celestial Brush, she's a force to be reckoned with. And since it's hard not to god-mode with... well... a GOD, please feel free to message me directly if characters start scuffling so that the fight isn't boring or one-sided!

Reflectors:
Her first and typically main weapon. These divine mirrors that hover over her back are thick and powerful, and swing from her back in powerful strikes. Equipped as a sub weapon, they can be called forth to shield oneself against an attack.

Rosaries:
A majestic string of beads that float around Amaterasu's neck. As a main weapon, they function as a whip, unleashing incredible chains of strikes despite the low damage they inflict. Equipped as a sub weapon, they are fired like bullets at a foe, also inflicting less damage than other weapons (but still, ouch!)

Glaives:
Perhaps the more frightening set of weapons in Amaterasu's arsenal. Giant, thick, heavy swords that rip through an opponent with both a cut and with blunt force. Their weight slows Amaterasu down considerably, but they unleash frightening amounts of damage. Equipped as a sub weapon shows little difference, until Amaterasu leaps into the air and uses them - then she rides the sword until it crashes into her opponent. She will rarely use these weapons unless she's seriously intending to hurt someone.

The weapons she has in game are:

The Solar Flare, the Thunder Edge, and the Tundra Beads! They count as an open source of fire, electricity, and ice respectively.


Godhood:
Surrounding her is a set of three natural barriers, which defend her from attacks. A simple strike will shatter a barrier, however. She only gets three free tickets out of an attack. The barriers can be restored with items like a Traveler's Charm, a Godly Charm, or can be supplemented with a Vengeance Slip, which provides protection for about 30 seconds against ALL attacks. These will be used against foes she truly intends to defeat, or believes are going to seriously harm her.


Astral Pouch:
Amaterasu can 'die' during a battle - if she has a full Astral Pouch (which is really just a second belly), then she'll revive with half her health and continue fighting; See, she's not just being a pig, her very life could depend on it! No, really...!!


Ink Pots:
The source of her Celestial Brush Powers is her collection of Ink Pots. This is the ink that manipulates the very fabric of the universe, and it's somewhat limited. When her ink runs dry, she even loses access to her other source of power: her collection of weapons.

The Celestial Brush


Power Slash:
Your character will find that suddenly, somehow, as if a giant line had been drawn across them, they'll suddenly suffer a heavy blow. Lucky for you, the blow intended to slice you in half is usually not going to cleave you in twain.


Cherry Bomb:
Suddenly, a giant bomb has appeared! Even if it's cutely wrapped in decorative paper and acts like a firecracker, it's a force to be reckoned with. It has the force to blast open a solid wall... better mind that fuse!


Waterspout:
With Deluge, Ammy calls down an intense rainstorm that lasts for only a few seconds, but deals damage to evil and slows opponents.


Galestorm:
Any flying enemies will find this ability their bane. A powerful rush of wind will force both the flying and the standing to the ground, if only for a moment, allowing Amaterasu to fight without having to leap into the air repetitively. She can also create a mighty whirlwind that surrounds her, which will lift you into the air and/or push you too far away to attack her.


Inferno:
If Amaterasu has a source of fire, she can create a stream of it and designate a target. To create fire out of thin air, however, takes creating a fireball - the blinding fire will roar out of a stationary ball, expanding and flicking outwards, so dodging is quite advised.


Thunderstorm:
Exactly the same as Inferno - if she finds a source of electricity, she can redirect it to give you a big shock. If she's daring, she'll use her ink to draw a mighty thunderbolt to drop from the sky and summon an electric storm in the area.


Blizzard:
If Amaterasu finds a frozen source, then she can draw the frozen ice from the object to your character, and freeze them solid, if only for a few seconds. Like Thunderstorm and Inferno, Ammy can summon a brief Ice Storm, which rains down horrid shards of ice in a blast that requires all of her power.
