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.

A spirit/support build with a heavy focus on spamming turrets and providing support to your allies.
Latest Updates:
28-Jun: Rewrote Phase descriptions.
24-Jun: Gun meta makes me sad. Redid Phase 1 and a bit of Phase 4.
18-Jun: Added Improved Spirit to Turret Phase, minor adjustment to Phase 1 (Others) and Phase 2 (Countering). Not been playing much lately, but the build feels pretty solid.
I generally start with Monster Rounds, then either Extra Regen or Extra Spirit depending on what I think the lane needs, with healing Rite if my lane partner needs it.
I
Monster Rounds
For counter pushing in lane
I
Extra Stamina
I just really love sliding.
I
Extra Charge
Be wary about early turret spam, as they always give souls now without the brief immortal period
I
Extra Regen
Necessary for lane sustain now we don't have bullet resist. Also good for Healing Tempo prep
I
Mystic Regeneration
This can activate Healing Tempo hehehe
II
Healing Booster
Extra regen discount makes this a decent lane item
I
Extra Health
Fortitude my beloved
I
Imbue
Mystic Expansion
Having to imbue makes this item very niche, but sniper turrets are pretty neat
I
Headshot Booster
Is THIS the secret to keeping Infernus and other pokers off your back?? Need more data!
I
Melee Lifesteal
Sometimes ya just gotta brawl it out.
In this current patch, gun carries building fire rate are very powerful, so I recommend Suppressor over Mystic Slow if you're facing off against one or more of them.
II
Enchanter's Emblem
Great lane finisher, sell later to make room for something situational
II
Imbue
Compress Cooldown
Imbue on turrets
II
Mystic Slow
Hold 'em down, hold 'em down
II
Healbane
If the enemy team has a lot of sustain (e.g. Abrams, Infernus, Mo & Krill), you'll want this and Inhibitor.
II
Debuff Reducer
I just really hate infernus and abrams lol
I
Rebuttal
UNO Reverse dat Viscoos
II
Enduring Speed
Anti-Kelvin countering, upgrades into anti-gun countering
III
Stamina Mastery
Escapism
II
Backstabber
funni budget toxic bullets
Use turrets to establish backline fire support for team fights, defend against Walker aggression, or siege objectives. Healing Tempo will greatly boost turret and teammate damage. Get Echo Shard if you can afford it, other wise just S.Cooldown and Healing Tempo will suffice, then move on to 4.
III
Superior Cooldown
Get this first to dispell the imbuing
IV
Healing Tempo
This item is, honestly, overpowered regardless of what you're building.
III
Rapid Recharge
Doesn't give cooldown, sadly, but still great combo with Healing Tempo and Boundless Spirit
IV
Lightning Scroll
Since Wall tends to be maxxed last, buying this to put Stun on Barrage is very useful.
III
Radiant Regeneration
Toss out a turret to benefit from Healing Tempo
IV
Boundless Spirit
Just a Spirit topper now, still good for Specter boosting
IV
Imbue
Active
Echo Shard
It's so expensive it's hard to justify buying late game :(
Once the majority of your CORE is finished, decide what kind of role you want to play and look to these categories to build them out. Currently I'm getting Heroic Aura and Juggernaut/Return Fire cuz of how much gun there is this patch.
IV
Juggernaut
This annd Bullet Resilience are all you're gonna need for bullet resist
IV
Active
Unstoppable
For Rejuv punching and Lash/other CC countering
III
Greater Expansion
Get this to undo the imbuing earlier, very important for specter boosting
III
Active
Heroic Aura
Passive applies to troopers, turrets, and ally heroes. Very useful.
III
Active
Healing Nova
In case of specter deniers or just to push waves
II
Spirit Shredder Bullets
Resist debuff instead of spirit amp makes this a great support item
II
Mystic Vulnerability
We go hard on spirit damage this game
III
Fortitude
CHERISH ALWAYS
IV
Active
Curse
Desperation buy
III
Toxic Bullets
Need more healing reduction
III
Active
Knockdown
Interrupts powerful channelers or flyers
IV
Active
Ethereal Shift
Can be used to juke Lash ults, otherwise useful to supercharge your spirit at the start of an ult-heavy teamfight
IV
Silencer
Now that the spirit reduction doesn't have a cooldown, this is a great support gun item.
IV
Inhibitor
Get this to impede hyper carries
III
Active
Blood Tribute
A toggle to dramatically reduce debuffs
