Choose a coherent path
The reviewed default is power slash duelist. An alternative is weapon and melee brawler. These are tactical interpretations of the kit, not official roles or measured win-rate rankings.
Flying Slash deals melee damage. Shadow Transformation resets and accelerates abilities while protecting Yamato; do not assume a stun or silence works through its immunity.
Ability slots
- 1Power Slash
- 2Flying Slash
- 3Crimson Slash
- 4Shadow Transformation
Ability targets
The default target for eligible single-target imbues is ability 1, Power Slash. Item eligibility still takes precedence: Echo Shard cannot reset an ultimate, charge items apply automatically, and global upgrades affect all eligible abilities.
Item direction
Use these as candidates for the stated path. The planner chooses compatible upgrades, accounts for owned components and reserves room for the lineup response.
Playing against Yamato
Time control outside the protected transformation, deny healing and avoid charged slashes.
A partial enemy lineup cannot establish lane assignments, enemy purchases or who is ahead. Supply those details in the planner where supported, and reconsider the plan as the match changes.
