How Yamato beats Nurse Harrow

Your game plan as Yamato

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

Lane
Power Slash charges for a big hit. Crimson Slash heals on hero hits.
Mid game
Flying Slash grapples to an enemy and slows them.
Late game
Shadow Transformation refreshes your abilities and makes them faster. This is your all-in.

How to beat Nurse Harrow

A battlefield medic who heals with her gun, starves enemy buffs with leeches and terrifies anyone who looks her in the eye.

  • 01Turn your back to Lurking Terrors: facing away halves its damage and stops the terror building.
  • 02Burst the Wretched Vapors target after the rush ends; the delayed damage lands all at once unless she heals it.
  • 03Pressure Harrow while Healing Needles is loaded; her clip is healing allies, not shooting you.
