How Deadman Danny beats Yamato
Marksman vs Assassin
Assume they’re flanking you. Stay near teammates and hold your escape for their burst.
Your game plan as Deadman Danny
A jetpack daredevil who flies over the fight, lands on top of it and takes one enemy for a ride they won’t walk away from.
Lane
Lay Strix Salvo along the lane: the missiles explode when an enemy comes near and mark them, and a charged shot on a marked target deals bonus damage and slows.
Mid game
Chimera Mk1 is your mobility and your engage. Fly in, and when it overheats, dive into enemies to launch them. Miss every hero and you stun yourself.
Late game
Close The Deal grabs one enemy and carries them into the air for heavy damage that is stronger under 50% health. Save it for a carry who is already hurt.
How to beat Yamato
A blade who commits fully — and refreshes everything when she does.
- 01Wait out Shadow Transformation; she’s invincible at first.
- 02Dodge Power Slash’s charge.
- 03Burst her after the all-in.
