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. Place Spectral Assistant near cover so you can swap back to it. Aim Vexing Bolt without leaving yourself exposed.

Mid game · Walkers

Wait out Shadow Transformation’s initial invincibility and keep your distance during its protection. Use Rabbit Hex and Vexing Bolt once Yamato is vulnerable again. If you copied Shadow Transformation, activate it before control prevents you from casting.

Late game · Patron

Protect wounded teammates until Yamato’s Shadow Transformation ends. Then use Rabbit Hex and Vexing Bolt while she is vulnerable. Use your copied ability when it helps the fight, keeping an escape through Spectral Assistant available.
