'''Yamato''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. She is a close-range assassin using precise strikes and sword attacks to destroy her foes. Conducting a Flying Strike with her grapple to get close, Yamato unleashes her powerful melee attacks along with Power Slash and Crimson Slash attacks to damage, slow, and disable her enemies while healing herself. Once fully engaged, she can unleash her Shadow Transformation to become infused with her brother's shadow soul, becoming unstoppable for a short time while ending the life of her opponents.

Conducting a '''[[Yamato#Flying Strike|Flying Strike]]''' with her grapple to get close, Yamato unleashes her powerful melee attacks along with '''[[Yamato#Power Slash|Power Slash]]''' and [[Yamato#Crimson Slash|'''Crimson Slash''']] attacks to damage, slow, and disable her enemies while healing herself.

Kaori and her brother were crime lords of the [[Seventh Moon]], bringing in wealth and power to the organization. However, a dispute during expansion led to the death of Kaori's brother and her escape to the [[United States of America|United States]]. A miscommunication once she arrived led to Kaori adopting her brother's name, Yamato, vowing to secure her brother's dream of international presence.

{{WeaponCard|key=hero_yamato}}Sister's Lament has an alternate fire that explodes on impact. This alt-fire takes {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Yamato|AmmoConsumedPerShot}} ammo rounds and deals {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Yamato|BulletDamage}} {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_scalar|Yamato|Level|BulletDamage}} damage on a direct hit.
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_yamato}}Sister's Lament has an alternate fire that explodes on impact. Alt-fire stats:
* Takes {{DataProp|Yamato|Weapon.AltFire.AmmoConsumedPerShot}} ammo rounds per shot. Can still be shot for full damage even if Yamato doesn't have enough ammo in the clip.
* Deals {{DataProp|Yamato|Weapon.AltFire.BulletDamage}} {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_scalar|Yamato|Level|BulletDamageAltFire}} damage on a direct hit.
* Bullets per second: {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Yamato|RoundsPerSecond|2}}.
* Has a DPS value of {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Yamato|DPS|3}} and sustained DPS of {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Yamato|SustainedDPS|3}}.
* Falloff Range: {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Yamato|FalloffStartRange|2}}m - {{#invoke:HeroData|get_alt_fire_var|Yamato|FalloffEndRange|2}}m

* Starting a charge quickly slows Yamato to {{DataProp|Power Slash|ChannelMoveSpeed}}m/s. This slowdown can be partially mitigated by [[Yamato/Movement#Dash_Slash|dashing]] before casting or [[Ziplines/Zipline_Momentum_Conservation|ZMC]].
* There are 4 stages the charging goes through. Every stage change is indicated by reticle lighting up pairs of vertical marks.
** 0.0s - 0.35s: initial phase where the ability can not be casted yet.
** 0.35s - 0.85s: "short charge" phase indicated by blue flames. Finishing here results in '''{{DataProp|Power Slash|ShortChargeDamagePct}}%''' damage.
** 0.85s - 1.4s: "medium charge" phase indicated by red flames. Finishing here results in '''{{DataProp|Power Slash|MediumChargeDamagePct}}%''' damage.

* After grappling, Yamato can go through walls and does not break connection regardless of distance or visibility. The only way to break connection is by becoming [[Invincible]], such as with {{HeroIcon|Ivy}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Stone Form}} or {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Quantum Entanglement}}.
* After grappling, Yamato can go through walls and does not break connection regardless of distance or visibility.
* The target can break the connection via dispel (e.g. {{ItemIcon|Dispel Magic}}) or [[Invincible|invincibility]] (e.g.  {{HeroIcon|Ivy}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Stone Form}}).
* Yamato can break the connection at any time during the flight by pressing the ability button (default <code>2</code>) or cancel ability button (default <code>SPACE</code>).
* Breaking connection triggers the slash animation but does no damage.

* The Invincible phase lasts 1.5s.
* Faster ability speed results in following changes:
* Yamato is immune to [[Movement Silence]] while transformed, allowing her to use Flying Slash and movement items while carrying the [[Soul Urn]].
** {{AbilityIcon|Power Slash}}: full charge time from {{DataProp|Power Slash|AbilityCastDelay}}s to {{#expr: {{DataProp|Power Slash|AbilityCastDelay}} * (100-{{DataProp|Shadow Transformation|AbilitySpeedPct}})/100 }}s.
** {{AbilityIcon|Flying slash}}: due to several phases, some of which are not affected by casting speed, the effect is unstable. Generally it varies from being ~20% quicker for short range casts to ~30% quicker for long range casts.
** {{AbilityIcon|Crimson Slash}}: cast delay from {{DataProp|Crimson Slash|AbilityCastDelay}}s to {{#expr: {{DataProp|Crimson Slash|AbilityCastDelay}} * (100-{{DataProp|Shadow Transformation|AbilitySpeedPct}})/100 }}s.
* T1 bonus weapon damage applies to each pellet in a shot. Total increase is {{DataProp|Shadow Transformation|Upgrades.1.WeaponDamageBonus}} (extra dmg) * {{DataProp|Yamato|Weapon.BulletsPerShot}} (pellets/shot) = '''+{{#expr: {{DataProp|Shadow Transformation|Upgrades.1.WeaponDamageBonus}} * {{DataProp|Yamato|Weapon.BulletsPerShot}}}} damage''' to each shot. Alt fire has only 1 pellet. This bonus is '''not''' increased further with bonus weapon damage from items or weapon [[investment]].
