Assassin vs Brawler
Don’t take an even fight; brawlers out-last you. Burst them when their big cooldown is down, then leave.
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.
