Your game plan as Yamato

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

How to beat 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.

• 01Stay spread when Chimera Mk1 is overheating; a dive that hits nobody stuns him.
• 02Slows work on him while he is airborne — use them to stop his approach.
• 03Avoid fighting low on health near him; Close The Deal hits harder below 50%.

1. 01Farm is close (+4 last hits per match), so trades decide this lane, not last hits.
2. 02Deadman Danny out-ranges most heroes. Fight around corners and troopers; step in when they reload or spend their mobility.
