Yamato is an assassin that can be played both Spirit based or Weapon based. This build is a hybrid between the two that focuses on having good burst damage while still being able to put out consistent damage.

Early Game

  • Buy an early Hollow Point Ward to make your weapon stronger.

  • Pick up Mystic Burst so that you are able to get better trades.

  • Extra Health and Enduring Spirit help you not get one shot by enemy burst damage and all ins.

  • Extra Spirit is a great pickup that increases your damage and gives you a nice bit of health regen.

  • Mystic Shot and Slowing Hex are your main sources of damage outside of Power Slash.

Mid Game

  • After buying your early game items start saving up to 3000 souls, here you want to buy Torment Pulse as your first T3 item.

  • Fill out the rest of your weapon slots with Slowing Bullets and Soul Shredder Bullets.

  • With a big focus on burst you need to go for Improved Burst, it's fine to get this later as it deals % max hp damage and at this point it will have high effectiveness as everyone’s health pool increases.

  • Next you buy Spirit Lifesteal and Healbane to enable you to get involved in fights that aren’t just duels.

  • Sell Extra Health and Enduring Spirit for armors.

Late Game

  • Next save up for Mystic Reverb as you unlock your second flex slot, imbue Power Slash.

  • If you are strapped for slots you can upgrade Extra Spirit into Improved Spirit and Boundless Spirit.

  • If you have too much money and another flex slot you should consider buying Refresher.
