Yamato is a close-range assassin who wins fights up close, chaining precise sword strikes instead of poking from range. She uses Flying Slash to grapple toward an enemy and get into striking distance, then layers Power Slash and Crimson Slash to damage, slow, and disable her target while healing herself off hero hits. Once she's fully engaged she can pop Shadow Transformation to become briefly invincible, refresh her abilities, and fight at 60% faster ability speed. She has no ranged poke and relies on closing the gap, so staying stuck to her target is the whole game. Build her as a melee/spirit bruiser who dives the backline and snowballs off hero kills.
Strong vs: Yamato excels against squishy, immobile backline heroes she can reach with Flying Slash. Immobile carries and supports who can't kite the grapple are easy dives once she lands on top of them. Heroes that rely on sustained fights rather than burst struggle against her self-healing Crimson Slash and resist-stacked ultimate. Any target caught alone and out of position dies fast to a fully charged combo. She especially punishes heroes who commit to a fight without a real escape.
Weak vs: She struggles against long-range heroes who kite her and punish a mistimed grapple from outside her melee threat range. Dispel and invincibility effects break the Flying Slash connection, and Slowing Hex disables the grapple entirely. The charge-up on Power Slash roots her in place, so it's easy to interrupt, dodge, or trade around. Heavy crowd control and burst that lands before her ultimate goes up can kill her during the window where she has no safe dive. She also lacks reliable ranged damage, so she can't contest poke from distance.
Dynamo is a supportive initiator who plays a half-step behind his team, healing them with Rejuvenating Aurora and repositioning them with Quantum Entanglement. His job in a fight is to set up picks rather than to frontline: he knocks enemies into the air with Kinetic Pulse and then catches the survivors. He is a medium-range heavy hitter with 880 health and no base bullet resist, so he survives by healing, spacing, and dodging instead of soaking damage. He can turn a lost fight with Singularity, a channeled ultimate that pulls in and stuns nearby enemies while dealing damage over time. Because Rejuvenating Aurora and Singularity are both channels, he wants to start fights on his own terms and stay clear of silences and stuns.
Strong vs: Dynamo shines against enemies who like to group up, because Singularity pulls in and stuns everyone caught in its radius. He is great against telegraphed burst ultimates, since Quantum Entanglement can be used right before an effect like Infernus' Concussive Combustion lands to nullify it. He also punishes low-mobility targets who cannot double-jump over Kinetic Pulse or instantly displace out of the Singularity pull. Any team that wins long, sustained fights will appreciate his healing, which keeps allies alive through extended pushes.
Weak vs: Dynamo struggles against instant-displacement tools, because Singularity's pull is continuous and can only be broken by effects like Paradox's Paradoxical Swap. Enemies who buy Unstoppable are a headache: it suppresses Singularity's stun and pull, drops Kinetic Pulse's move slow, and protects against future knockups. Anyone who can interrupt a channel threatens both Rejuvenating Aurora and Singularity, and the item Slowing Hex straight-up disables Quantum Entanglement. Nimble enemies can simply double-jump over Kinetic Pulse, and Debuff Resist shortens the knockup plus the pulse's secondary debuffs.
Dynamo has the larger base health pool at 880, compared to 730 for Yamato.
Yamato has the higher weapon DPS at 63.216, versus 48 for Dynamo.
Neither hero is strictly better — they fit different roles. Yamato is an Assassin and Dynamo is a Mystic, so the right pick depends on your team composition, the enemy draft, and which playstyle you are comfortable with. Check the win rates on our tier list for the current patch.
