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.

Tanky / Bruiser build for Yamato. She already has pretty high damage in her kit. Having a high TTK has felt better to me than building pure damage.
Generally L-R. First 3k is Torment Pulse or Veil Walker by preference.

Mystic Shot
Good poke, helps with Spellbreaker later.

Active
Cold Front
Slow after grapple + High damage early.

Healbane
Best early antiheal, heal after kill helps you stay online.

Torment Pulse
Super core. Helps you win fights early and is decent for farm/wave clear.
