Build details

Fixed snapshot: the filters on this site don't change it. Sample: Yamato, normal mode, ranked matches with average rank Phantom or higher, Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 18, 2026 (never more than 14 days): 3,710 matches, 53.8% won. Unranked matches carry no badge, so a rank bracket means ranked matches only.
Playstyle group: the most common trio of 3,200+ soul items by 30:00 was Lifestrike, Hunter's Aura, Radiant Regeneration. 1,783 of 3,710 matches (48%) built all three; 55.9% of them were won. That describes these players, not this exact build.
Items: bought by at least 50% of the group; late items are counted among the 581 matches that reached 35:00. With fewer than 2 late items, the build continues with the group's most-bought late items (at least 30%). Order follows the median purchase order. Imbue targets are the most common choice (20+ records, 40%+ agreement).
Ranked Yamato matches by rank: Phantom 2,105 · Seeker 1,731 · Acolyte 1,737 · Oracle 1,850 · Mystic 1,274 · Sentinel 1,402 · Eternus 503 · Ritualist 1,406 · Emissary 1,467 · Initiate 819 · Ascendant 1,102.

The last point (Power Slash 5 AP) completes the order: many matches end before every point is spent, so it's placed where the 174 players who got that far usually took it.

Guide usage can't be filtered by game mode, so Match mode only separates ranked from unranked.

Published guides that Yamato players started matches with in this period, most used first, with copies and near-identical guides removed. Usage comes from the API's analysed matches and counts the guide selected at match start; it doesn't show whether players followed it. Game mode can't be filtered for this data.

1Laning Phase. Buy from Left to Right. Consider the optionals as well. The way you play your lanes determines your entire game.
Author's category
1. 1
  Monster Rounds
  Yamato has slow fire rate on weapon early game. You need this to farm lane.
2. 2
  Restorative Shot
  No brainer since even NPCs heal you now.
3. 3
  Spirit Strike
  If you didn't know, you deal melee damage with your second ability. So Spirit Strike you deal Melee and Spirit Dmg at the same time. Builds up to Spirit Snatch.
4. 4
  Grit
  That 200 barrier comes very handy when you are jumping your enemies early game
5. 5
  Mystic Shot
  Pairs well with Healbane since you need spirit dmg to proc Healbane. Also more spirit power for your 1, 2, and 3.
6. 6
  Healbane
  When you use your 2 on your enemy you apply healing reduction because of Spirit Strike/Snatch. By doing this you make sure that they don't heal too much when you are charging your 1.
2Early Optionalsoptional
Author's category
1. 1
  Stalker
  I am not too big into using Yamato's weapon on enemies. You can pick this after Grit instead of Monster Rounds if you want.
2. 2
  Battle Vest
  If you are gonna be using Stalker, might as well use Battle Vest too.
3. 3
  Melee Lifesteal
  If you melee frequently early game.
4. 4
  Rebuttal
  If you got your parry game on point.
3Mid Game. Not from Left to Right [You can do L-R if everything is going smoothly for your team]. What you buy mid game depends completely on your opponents.
Author's category
1. 1
  Spirit Snatch
  Built from Spirit Strike
  Core item. You deal spirit damage with your 2, steal 12% of their spirit res.
2. 2
  Torment Pulse
  More Close Range fights, more Close Range dmg.
3. 3
  Radiant Regeneration
  Torment Pulse will keep proccing R.Regen. Insane suvivability.
4. 4
  Hunter's Aura
  Since all of your fights are going to be in close range
5. 5
  Tankbuster
  You are dealing more than 165 damage with your 1. So using this is a no brainer. Also you completely ignore spirit res of your opponents.
6. 6
  Superior Cooldown
  Obvious choice. You need cooldown reduction.
7. 7
  Spirit Shielding
  Built from Grit
  Even more survivability.
8. 8
  Boundless Spirit
  You need the damage.
9. 9
  Mystic Reverb
  Key item for your 1. You are going to lose some hp while charging the ability. This makes sure that you get some HP back after hitting the target. Greatly increases survivability. Also you apply slow.
10. 10
  Spirit Burn
  If Healing Bane is not enough.
4Mid Game Optionalsoptional
Author's category
1. 1
  Slowing Hex
  To stop them from escaping.
2. 2
  Metal Skin
  If any bullet heavy Hero is being a problem.
3. 3
  Spirit Resilience
  In case you are taking too much burst spirit damage.
4. 4

  Great for enemies with fleeing abilities.
5. 5
  Dispel Magic
  A must buy 90% of the time.
6. 6

Author's category
1. 1
  Refresher
  With the amount of incoming damage late game. You will be needing this for your ult in order to last longer in fights.
2. 2
  Transcendent Cooldown
  Built from Superior Cooldown
  Even more cooldown your abilities.
3. 3
  Colossus
  Maximum Survivability. Activate this as soon as you reach below 50% hp. You need to last as long as possible before using your Ult.
4. 4
  Witchmail
6Late Game Optionalsoptional
Author's category
1. 1
  Crushing Fists
  If you have enough souls left and the game is far from being over.
2. 2
  Diviner's Kevlar
  You get a whopping 1000 barrier when you ult. You should be unkillable at this point.
3. 3
  Ethereal Shift
  If you are not being able to Survive even with Colossus. Replace it with Ethereal Shift.
7Even More Late Game Optionals [Buy what you need]optional
Author's category
1. 1
  Indomitable
  In case you are being stunned, slept or slowed too often.

Build details

Fixed snapshot: the filters on this site don't change it. Sample: Yamato, normal mode, ranked matches with average rank Phantom or higher, Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 18, 2026 (never more than 14 days): 3,710 matches, 53.8% won. Unranked matches carry no badge, so a rank bracket means ranked matches only.
Playstyle group: the most common trio of 3,200+ soul items by 30:00 was Lifestrike, Hunter's Aura, Radiant Regeneration. 1,783 of 3,710 matches (48%) built all three; 55.9% of them were won. That describes these players, not this exact build.
Items: bought by at least 50% of the group; late items are counted among the 581 matches that reached 35:00. With fewer than 2 late items, the build continues with the group's most-bought late items (at least 30%). Order follows the median purchase order. Imbue targets are the most common choice (20+ records, 40%+ agreement).
Ranked Yamato matches by rank: Phantom 2,105 · Seeker 1,731 · Acolyte 1,737 · Oracle 1,850 · Mystic 1,274 · Sentinel 1,402 · Eternus 503 · Ritualist 1,406 · Emissary 1,467 · Initiate 819 · Ascendant 1,102.

  Ethereal Shift
  if youre getting hate crimed by things like solo kelvin domes or mina ult on repeat can be an escape

1Laning Phase. Buy from Left to Right. Consider the optionals as well. The way you play your lanes determines your entire game.
Author's category
1. 1
  Monster Rounds
  Yamato has slow fire rate on weapon early game. You need this to farm lane.
2. 2
  Restorative Shot
  No brainer since even NPCs heal you now.
3. 3
  Spirit Strike
  If you didn't know, you deal melee damage with your second ability. So Spirit Strike you deal Melee and Spirit Dmg at the same time. Builds up to Spirit Snatch.
4. 4
  Grit
  That 200 barrier comes very handy when you are jumping your enemies early game
5. 5
  Mystic Shot
  Pairs well with Healbane since you need spirit dmg to proc Healbane. Also more spirit power for your 1, 2, and 3.
6. 6
  Healbane
  When you use your 2 on your enemy you apply healing reduction because of Spirit Strike/Snatch. By doing this you make sure that they don't heal too much when you are charging your 1.
2Early Optionalsoptional
Author's category
1. 1
  Stalker
  I am not too big into using Yamato's weapon on enemies. You can pick this after Grit instead of Monster Rounds if you want.
2. 2
  Battle Vest
  If you are gonna be using Stalker, might as well use Battle Vest too.
3. 3
  Melee Lifesteal
  If you melee frequently early game.
4. 4
  Rebuttal
  If you got your parry game on point.
3Mid Game. Not from Left to Right [You can do L-R if everything is going smoothly for your team]. What you buy mid game depends completely on your opponents.
Author's category
1. 1
  Spirit Snatch
  Built from Spirit Strike
  Core item. You deal spirit damage with your 2, steal 12% of their spirit res.
2. 2
  Torment Pulse
  More Close Range fights, more Close Range dmg.
3. 3
  Radiant Regeneration
  Torment Pulse will keep proccing R.Regen. Insane suvivability.
4. 4
  Hunter's Aura
  Since all of your fights are going to be in close range
5. 5
  Tankbuster
  You are dealing more than 165 damage with your 1. So using this is a no brainer. Also you completely ignore spirit res of your opponents.
6. 6
  Superior Cooldown
  Obvious choice. You need cooldown reduction.
7. 7
  Spirit Shielding
  Built from Grit
  Even more survivability.
8. 8
  Boundless Spirit
  You need the damage.
9. 9
  Mystic Reverb
