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.

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.
All can be swapped around. Generally L-R.
I
Restorative Shot
Use this off cooldown.
I
Monster Rounds
If you need to shove lane/want to farm fast.
II
Active
Cold Front
Slow even further after grappling.
III
Torment Pulse
One of the most core items Yamato can get.
III
Active
Cultist Sacrifice
Great HP buff, let's you clear camps fast and range is always nice.
II
Healbane
Great early antiheal, heal on kill helps you stay online.
(Pick One)
II
Active
Return Fire
This item resets the cooldown on Express Shot, be aware when buying both.
III
Superior Cooldown
Valued less since change to item cd's
III
Radiant Regeneration
Heals a tonne
IV
Boundless Spirit
Amps all your damage.
III
Tankbuster
Busted item now, true damage.
III
Spirit Snatch
Better than torment pulse early.
IV
Active
Colossus
Mini ult for downtime in your ult. HP from this + Cultist buff is quite strong.
IV
Imbue
Mystic Reverb
Big damage, slow is a huge disrupt. Great item but I often find myself buying it quite late.
IV
Active
Refresher
Somebody call an ambulance, but not for me.
IV
Spirit Burn
Read reverb, otherwise this is likely a 2nd or 3rd 6.4k OR you buy a defensive 6.4k.
IV
Active
Arctic Blast
Freeze is good since it interupts things like Infernus flame dash, Lash grapple, etc. Also has a cute polar bear :)
II
Enchanter's Emblem
Sell later if pressed for slots.
III
Active
Debuff Remover
Mo & Krill, Infernus, Sinclair, etc.
IV
Spellbreaker
I hate Sinclair, Talon, Lash, Paradox Carbine or other heroes that deal 2k burst damage to me.
IV
Plated Armor
Haze, Infernus, Mirage, other M1's.
IV
Active
Scourge
Your support player should probably buy this for you. This item is giga broken. Buy this or spellbreaker.
IV
Diviner's Kevlar
Become unkillable in your ult. Doesn't synergize well with refresher.
IV
Witchmail
Giga late game Enchanters Emblem replacement, has the same functionality.
IV
Escalating Exposure
Break in case of infinite spirit resist.
Not ordered by preference.
II
Suppressor
Infinite firerate slows with your 3 and torment pulse.
III
Express Shot
Great damage but the item feels bad to use to me, I stopped buying it and went for cultist instead.
IV
Active
Phantom Strike
Vindicta, Talon, Lash or Gun Heavy comp.
