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

My own version of Pompeii's Yamato. Tweaked with feedback from Deathy.
Meant to be played as a tanky build as Yamato already deals quite a lot of
damage in her kit and getting a high early TTK has proven to be more effective
to me.

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