DOCTRINE
48.9% win rate as Vyper · 8,644 matches
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. Land repeated Screwjab Dagger hits on one enemy to increase its damage and slow.
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 until Shadow Transformation ends. Then apply Lethal Venom before Petrifying Bola. Venom can damage Yamato while petrified; save gunfire and Screwjab Dagger until petrification ends. Watch for Flying Slash taking her back to an ally.
