Overview

This build was created by Hydration. To find it in game, search for "Mobalytics - Spirit Yamato by Hydration" (BuildID: 17523)

Yamato is an assassin/frontline hybrid that can deal out rapid burst damage while also being very hard to kill.

Buy Restorative Shot or Mystic Burst as your first item, depending on whether you are being pressured or dominating the lane. Purchase the other one next.
Extra Spirit and Mystic Burst help you poke effectively and secure early kills.
Torment Pulse will be your most consistent source of damage throughout the game.
Healbane is essential and allows you to stay in fights longer by denying healing.
Debuff Remover helps you win duels against nearly every hero.
Cultist Sacrifice is a strong option if you plan on farming heavily or want to round out your weapon investment.

Refresher is the go-to item if you feel strong enough to close out the game.
Your next major purchase can be a defensive item such as Diviner's Kevlar or Colossus.
If you are short on item slots, consider upgrading into Transcendent Cooldown or Boundless Spirit.
Superior Duration also provides significant survivability.
If additional defense is needed, consider Plated Armor, Spellbreaker, or Ethereal Shift.
Escalating Exposure becomes very strong extremely late in the game for additional damage.
