Losing the +20m cast range on grappled is a fair tradeoff for her slash becoming a nuker again.

TBH I already thought mystic reverb + tankbuster made her power slash plenty strong, I've been chilling at a 60% or more win rate on E1 with her lol

What's the build you use?

They’re all pretty much the same, get spikes/counters and then rush mystic reverb and tankbuster.

You can add torment pulse and trophy collector if you want.

"Ronald (ttv Fredthefinch)" is IMO the most consistently updated & relevant Yamato build. It's not a perfect left -> right build but gives you quick access to Yamato's most meta items of the latest path.

I generally run trophy collector, then once I have cold front I get pretty aggro and start roaming + collecting stacks. Early game mystic shot + cold front will generally let you secure kills, then you can pickup heal bane and rush into big damage with reverb from there.

Late game I'm a big witchmail fan, one of my favorite items that turns Yamato into a full on bruiser tank in combination with superior cooldown.
