How Silver beats Yamato

Brawler vs Assassin

You have the health; they have the burst. Make them fight you long — every second past their first combo is in your favour. Buy defensive items early and stay near allies.

Your game plan as Silver

A feral long-range fighter who gets more dangerous the closer she gets to death.

Lane
Slam Fire reloads instantly and deals bonus damage based on target health.
Mid game
Entangling Bola slows and stops movement abilities. Throw it to start your team’s dive.
Late game
Lycan Curse triggers at max bloodlust; at low health she becomes scarier, not weaker.

How to beat Yamato

A blade who commits fully — and refreshes everything when she does.
