Yamato vs Infernus

Assassin vs Mystic

Mystics are often fragile without their spells. Dive them right after they cast.

Your game plan as Yamato

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

How to beat Infernus

A pyromaniac who wins by keeping everyone burning for just a bit too long.

• 01Short trades. Afterburn punishes long ones.
• 02Concussive Combustion can’t be interrupted — walk out of it.
• 03Buy anti-heal and Spirit Resist; most of his damage is spirit.

1. 01Infernus wins the farm by ~31.9 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Infernus deals most damage with abilities. Trade right after they’ve used their main spell, and consider early Spirit Shielding.
