  1. Lane for souls first. Your kill pressure arrives with your first big item; until then, farm and look for one burst window.
  2. Threaten Flying Slash: enemies who walk up to last-hit are in range for it.
  3. Keep Flying Slash for escape until you see a kill window.
  4. Yamato is a high-skill hero. Learn one reliable combo before you take them into ranked.
  5. Open with Spirit Strike and Melee Lifesteal — the most-picked early items on Yamato.
