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
This build got me to Eternus 6 on the new patch. I dropped from E6->E3 after the patch learning items, now I'm back in E6.
Fully annotated but some are memes.
Item Build
Lane
800
Component for headhunter and a source of much needed burst and poke in lane.
800
Good for trades and fights, not so good for healing up in a poke lane. Buy Extra Regen if you have to.
4000
This item is too broken to not rush during lane, try to pick it up at 4000-4800 souls, second or third item.
800
Less good now but still good and necessary for Spirit Snatch which is broken.
1600
Builds into Crushing Fists and adds a lot of damage to your combo
Lane Situational
800
Poke heavy lane
800
You took a trade and are on no hp buy this instead of regen please
800
For stuff like Warden in lane
800
Viscous
800
Buy to push waves if your guardian is being pressured, guardians are really easy to kill this patch
4000
Buy this item if: You are ahead, you already have Headhunter, and you can get it at 8 minutes.
Gorilla Items
1600
I am seeing great results with this item. It greatly improves your burst in a way I've been missing.
4000
This item is incredibly broken and basically the only spirit item you need for siphon life to do respectable damage
8000
This makes heavy melee faster than walking and is also a huge powerspike for fighting. Can apply stacks to objectives for resist shred and to stun them.
4000
This heals me for so much every game I'm not kidding its really good.
1600
This item is broken please buy it.
2400
This item is also broken please buy it.
3200
Primary mobility option for Abrams right now. I pick this up frequently in the mid game.
3200
This item is insanely statted.
3200
Armour.
Box Maxxing
800
Buy this at 2 minutes in lane if you have a strong duo to funnel. Like a Warden. Go do boxes for a few waves. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU KNOW HOW TO BOX MAX!!!!
Items a Gorilla Might Need
3200
If you find you can reliably get 1v1s in your game this item is very strong.
3200
This item is probably the best anti-heal you can buy on this build.
2400
Against slows or as a mid-late buy because this item is good.
3200
Armor.
4000
Buy if you really need stamina for some reason or like to go fast.
6400
Pick up this item if you're rich and need to explode people. Especially useful against fliers.
8800
Very good against gun characters and slows.
6400
Very good against gun.
7200
An HMC which is notable for parry baiting in this build, also a LOT of stats.
6400
Because Abrams only has 3 abilities, and if your ult isn't on cooldown, this will only proc on your 1 or 2 during fights. Which is broken.
8800
Buy this when you're very rich, it's lategame, and you bought everything else already.
Wizard Gorilla?
VS too many rebuttals
1600
I wouldn't really buy this and would skip straight to Superior Cooldown.
4800
Very broken item, especially important if you end up picking up Cultist Sacrifice.
3200
Buy this if you need to lean on your 1, though you shouldn't really need to.
1600
Buy this if you need to lean on your 1, though you shouldn't really need to.
8000
Buy this if you need to lean on your 1, though you shouldn't really need to.
Become Ungovernable
You will want an amount of this.
3200
Careful usage of this item is CRUCIAL, you have to constantly be toggling it in fights to maximize it. It makes parries do nothing to you. Remember to disable before trying to heal, like resto locket.
3200
This item is mid but it has debuff resist.
1600
Debuff resist for parries and general debuffs like decay and whatnot.
4800
<----- read this one except this has an active that makes resto locket better.
3200
Very good against Shiv, Wraith, Lash, delayed CC like Warden and Seven. Just a good item.
8000
Abrams: Ape Mode
With the new item system, filling out slots is WAY less important than how much money you spend in each category. Due to this, don't be afraid to buy Headhunter early in lane, and also don't be afraid to pick up your powerspikes before filling your slots. I will frequently just have 5 items for a while and it's fine.
Max your ult sooner if you need to contest mid boss in your game, it's alright to not max charge. Debuff Remover+Resto Locket is like a 1.3k heal it's very dumb. Build is not strictly ordered.
