Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Use cover against Power Slash’s charge and keep a route back to your teammate when Yamato uses Flying Slash. Crimson Slash heals her when it hits a hero, so avoid letting her hit both of you at close range. Shoot from cover, then use Rake when the enemy is low. Keep Sanguine Retreat for the way back.

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, use Rake once Yamato is wounded and within reach, keeping Sanguine Retreat for the way back to cover.
