How to beat Yamato

• 02Dodge Power Slash’s charge.
• 03Burst her after the all-in.

1. 01Viscous out-farms Yamato by ~8.9 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.
