Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Flying Slash drops Yamato onto Entangling Thorns. Plant the thorns as Yamato lands, then take the soul. Power Slash is a charge — use Entangling Thorns when Power Slash releases. 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. Keep Kudzu Connection on the teammate attacking Yamato, maintaining line of sight to preserve the link.
