I just finished my first M3E game with Asami, and went 5-3 vs Jacob Lynch.
My Opponent prefers to randomize an encounter, after we build our crews so i went with:
Asami
Amanjaku
Amano No Zako
Shadow Emisaary
Fuhatsu
Obsidian Oni
Dawn Serpent
My thought process was to play an elite, and somewhat self sufficient crew, that would require some efforts to deal with, while Asami could summon and just be usefull.
While it worked out Asami ended up doing nothing the whole game, other than summon, mothers love and push summons up towards the battle, and i just felt like i was missing something.
Maybe it was just the state of the game, but i no point did i feel like it would make sense for her to do anything else.
Is that also how you guys are playing her, or does she take a more active role in your games?
