Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Flying Slash drops Yamato on you, and Crimson Slash heals her during the fight. Use Luggage Cart after Flying Slash, but only if Shadow Transformation is down. Power Slash is the charged swing — attack after it is released.

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 Luggage Cart to move Yamato toward a position your team can attack, keeping wounded allies clear of her arrival.
