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
With this build you'll be focusing on ganking and doing a ton of spirit damage up front.
Item Build
Lane
Play passive and poke with bombs. In recommended Order.
Can be sold after hitting Ava T2, but i recommend keeping it.
Primary healing source, so you won't need the assist items.
MORE DAMAGE
DAMAGE
MORE DAMAGE RIGHT NOW (Having Ult CD hurts bad)
Absolutely goated in lane. A necessity later in the game.
Token gun item. Insane damage from any range.
Lane is really bad
Good healing when you're being poked
Good against damage over time
Good against burst damage (unless its giest or yamato)
Mid-game
In recommended order.
CORE
Get this before Spirit Burn if most of the enemy team has 18%+ spirit resist.
Absolutely necessary to keep lifestrike scaling strong. You also need the health shop bonuses.
All the spam
Core Power Spikes
In recommended order. First T4 recommended after Spirit Snatch
Make sure you're landing your combo to consistently proc this. Bombs + CF + TP + Spirit Strike + Ult should be no issue. Get a situational item (below) if you're struggling while rushing this.
Really helps against heroes that move a lot.
The bonuses from this are just too insane to pass up
Situational
For survival, more damage, or topping of shop bonuses
Enemy slow is very bad for calico, so you should get this.
Can be sold for Spirit Burn, but i recommend keeping it in case of obnoxious healers like Kelvin or Viscous
particularly good when the enemy has slowing hex just for you.
Insane survival against bullet hoses.
Good survival, and tops off your shop bonuses
Due to the nature of Calico's whole kit revolving around diving in, you might need this.
Lash and Shiv legally cannot ult you without your consent.
Wraith
I'm Fed
Mid boxes spawn at 10 mins, then every 5 mins after.
You should have at least 1 weapon item, and it'll probably be this. Can replace spirit sap if need be, but the output isnt as great.

If they have spirit resilience or otherwise high spirit resist in the lategame, this is the item to buy.
basically an extra torment pulse with an added spirit resist. remember to ALWAYS PROC BEFORE ULT!!
