DOCTRINE

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. Use Jumpstart’s regeneration and movement speed to recover near cover. It costs health before regeneration begins, so use it before you are critically low.
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.
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, attack Yamato with Pain Battery once it is full. Keep Aura of Suffering running only while enemies remain in reach and its self-damage is affordable.
