Yamato
Delivers charged attacks with finesse

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

Working on my own version based on original build by Pompei.

The build is designed around being very tanky early on,
making you much more likely to be the last man standing in a fight.

Item Build

Core Lane

All can be swapped around. Generally L-R.

Early Optionals

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Return Fire

This item resets the cooldown on Express Shot, be aware when buying both.

Deadlock Item

II

Healing Booster

Good to buy with extra health and if you put 2 points in your 3 or after Colossus for big heals.

Midgmae

Deadlock Item

III

Spirit Snatch

No spirit strike in lane because it slows torment pusle powerspike and is nowhere near as good as this.

Deadlock Item

III

Torment Pulse

One of the most core items Yamato can get.

Deadlock Item

III

Superior Cooldown

Makes torment pulse tick faster

Midgame

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Colossus

Bought at the exact moment you reach t3 ult. It's a mini ult and together with ult you have infinite resists.

Deadlock Item

IV

Imbue

Mystic Reverb

Second T4 almost always. Big damage, slow is a huge disrupt to enemies and helping you and your team catch them and the AoE damage is great. Spirit burn should be prio if they have big heals.

Late Game Optionals

Ordered by preference.

Deadlock Item

IV

Boundless Spirit

Idk man good damage, probably not your best buy since enemies have lots of resist. Good for torment pulse damage though.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Arctic Blast

Freeze is good since it interupts things like Infernus flame dash, Lash grapple, etc. Also has a cute polar bear :)

Deadlock Item

IV

Spirit Burn

Read reverb, otherwise this is likely a 2nd or 3rd 6.4k OR you buy a defensive 6.4k.

Deadlock Item

IV

Escalating Exposure

Break in case of infinite spirit resist. Buy instead of reverb when you're in fights for longer than your ult uptime.

Situational Defenses

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Debuff Remover

Mo & Krill, Infernus, Sinclair, etc.

Deadlock Item

IV

Spellbreaker

I hate Sinclair, Talon, Lash, Paradox Carbine or other heroes that deal 2k burst damage to me.

Deadlock Item

III

Bullet Resilience

I don't buy this item it feels bad to buy most times.

Deadlock Item

IV

Plated Armor

Haze, Infernus, Mirage, other M1's.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Scourge

Your support player should probably buy this for you. This item is giga broken. Buy this or spellbreaker.

Late Game Extras

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Refresher

Somebody call an ambulance, but not for me.

Deadlock Item

IV

Witchmail

Giga late game Enchanters Emblem replacement, has the same functionality.

The Lab

Experiments

Deadlock Item

I

Monster Rounds

If you need to shove lane/want to farm fast.

Deadlock Item

III

Superior Duration

Actually feels kinda good but slot pressed.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Silence Wave

Util for your team. Don't buy cold front if you're going this route.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Warp Stone

I started using this more. Combined with CDR it's pretty strong.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Phantom Strike

Vindicta, Talon, Lash or Gun Heavy comp.

Deadlock Item

III

Radiant Regeneration

Works well with Torment Pulse in drawn out fights. Also get healing booster if you're buying this.

Deadlock Item

II

Enchanter's Emblem

Good resists. Can be your first buy if you dont need the regen.

Ability Point Order

Power Slash

Flying Strike

Crimson Slash
