Lash vs Yamato

Assassin vs Assassin

Assassin mirrors are decided by who sees the other first. Track their cooldowns and never commit while their escape is up.

Your game plan as Lash

A diver who arrives from the sky and leaves with the enemy’s carry.

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.

1. 01Lash out-farms Yamato by ~5 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
2. 02Yamato looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
3. 03Your own sustain (Flog) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
