Yamato uses precise strikes to decimate her rivals. However, such damaging attacks often will leave her exposed, so she needs to make every shot count.

Description
My own flavour of Ronald's build, with my own insights.
Updated for the new shop update, but still on progress.
With the way the game works now, your best interest is
to have as many spirit items as possible, but also some
survivability, and this build aims to focus on that.
I'm on the official Discord, if you have any questions!
Item Build
Laning MUSTS
Has good scaling and comes in handy, specially on teamfights. Hold onto this for as long as possible
Builds into Tankbuster and adds damage nonetheless
Good pressure along with your right click.
Structures take less spirit damage, so you need your gun to do damage to them. Sold later when in need of slots.
Try to keep it for as long as possible, since its upgrades arent that worth it anymore but stamina is still needed
Laning Situationals
Items that may help in some situations. May only be able to buy 1.
No need to get it as your first item, it's kinda optional, but it's good!
good against poke-heavy enemies
Kill that mf abrams
Early survivability and melee damage boost. Not necessary but useful if you need regen. Sold later for slots.
Now healing scales with spirit so you can carry this to lategame!
Core items
2 flex slots needed
It's still a good item but consuming 2 stamina holds it back. If you buy this don't buy express shot.
Buy if the enemy team has a lot of healing
Here because it gives spirit and CDR, but if the enemy is mainly gun, return fire. CAN BE DELAYED
Your bread n butter anti spirit resist.
Improved Burst, now with a new name!
Parry fucking EVERYTHING. OP AS HELL. Get good with this because you will get a lot of use. If you feel you're not good enough for it, buy one of the T3 alternatives
Imbue your 1 for more slashes in ult.
Imbue on 1 to get 2 slashes on ult easier. Imbue on 4 to get ult every ~60s
Imbue on 1. Gives liefsteal as well as giving damage and slow in a radius, that's pretty good
Cleanses statuses and heals when you don't have ult. Almost mandatory late game.
Core Alternatives
For gun centric enemy teams
Movement speed and health given reduced significantly, must keep testing
In theory this could go crazy but only testing will say. Focus T3 camps with it.
Honestly insane damage. With SupCD the CD is like 2s. You have to readapt but the damage added is crazy. Good to pick instead of kindash and counterspell
May be better now that healing has been reduced
Late Game
First row is in order, but read the descriptions!!!
Longer ult presence, good for big carry gameplay. The combo is Slash, Ult, Slash, Refresh, Slash, Ult, Slash!
Remove their healing and do more damage. Get it first if the enemy team has a lot of healing. Replaces healbane.
Pick against teams with lots of spirit damage so your cooldowns just are always up.
Against gun heavy enemies. This basically reduces their DPS by 40%.
cheap spirit burn for one person
If the enemy has a big spirit burst hero, you should prio this before other T4s or as your 3rd T4.
Good to sell one or both the shield items.
Pick against enemies with insane ammounts of resists
Testing
One of the few items giving move speed, may be better than stamina atp.
Good synergy with Mystic Regeneration. May be good for a sustain/tank oriented focus.
I don't think we have enough slots to use this currently, but I will keep testing it.
Slot filler when you have a lot of spirit, but also has great value imho
