Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Flying Slash drops Yamato onto the area where you want Jar of Dead. Use Jar of Dead as she lands, then take the soul. Power Slash is a charge — attack after the release. Crimson Slash heals Yamato if the fight lasts too long.

Mid game · Walkers

Hold damage during Shadow Transformation’s initial invincibility. Yamato returns with refreshed abilities, high resistance and immunity to negative effects. Move away if your team cannot fight through them.

Late game · Patron

Protect wounded teammates during Shadow Transformation; kills heal Yamato and extend it. Attack together after it ends. Fully upgraded Flying Slash gives her another charge and lets her escape to allies. After Shadow Transformation ends, aim your weapon at Yamato so your nearby Deadheads prioritize the same target. Keep Grasping Hands between yourself and an enemy trying to reach you.
