'''Soloing with Trust: Mastering Ayame’s Skillchain Synergy'''
 
 
 
Summoning Ayame for skillchaining while breaking the latent of a trial weapon is an excellent choice.
 
 
 
* '''Priming the Skillchain'''
 
** To initiate a skillchain, build up enough TP and unleash your weapon skill on the target. Ayame’s AI is designed to wait for your opening move, holding off on her own weapon skill until you’ve acted.
 
 
 
* '''Closing the Skillchain'''
 
** After you’ve used your WS, Ayame will monitor your TP recovery and then execute a complementary weapon skill tailored to your previous move. Your goal is to close the skillchain by selecting a WS that pairs with hers to trigger at least a Level 2 skillchain or higher for maximum points.
 
** Experiment with different WS combinations and consult the ([[Skillchain]]) chart to find the most effective pairings for your job and Ayame’s skills.
 
 
 
 
 
* '''Key Tips'''
 
**  '''Enemy Selection:'''
 
*** Ayame’s accuracy can falter against Incredibly Tough enemies, even with Bard Trusts like Ulmia or Joachim boosting her.
 
*** For best results, target Even Match or Tough enemies to ensure her hits connect reliably for TP build-up.
 
** '''Party Composition:'''
 
*** Avoid including a Tank or additional melee Trusts in your lineup to focus solely on skillchaining with Ayame.
