Yamato

Basic attack

Yamato's Basic Attack has 4 hits in total, using his arm guards, a wooden mallet and Wood Style. 1A turns and swings an arm guard to push the target forward, 2A swings the mallet upward to knock the target airborne, 3A fires a wooden spike forward to pierce the target, and 4A leaps forward and slams down a wooden carving to briefly grab the target. Linking the 2nd skill into a Basic Attack triggers 4A directly.

Tip 4A has a grabbing effect. Combined with the grabbing effects of skills, it can effectively drain the target's Super Armor time.

Wood Style: Contraption TechniqueSkill 1

Yamato takes out a piece of wood, carefully carves and works it, and builds it into one of 3 kinds of contraption; the contraption starts attacking when an enemy is in front of it. Contraptions can be built on platforms.

Tip A short press releases a contraption that fires wooden spikes forward, a long press releases a wooden claw contraption that grabs the target, and swiping Basic attack releases a contraption that scatters wooden spikes.

Wood Style: Contraption TechniqueSkill 1 · Scatter

Swipe the basic attack to release the scatter contraption. Yamato pulls out a wooden board and mallet and builds a scatter contraption. When a target is within range, the contraption triggers and fires a large volley of wooden spikes upward that fall down and launch the target. Can be used together with Skill 2 to set the contraption on a wooden stake.

Tip Has a wide attack range, which grows further when used with Skill 2 stakes stacked in height. Its delayed trigger also provides some protection.

Wood Style: Contraption TechniqueSkill 1 · Wooden Claw

Hold to release the wooden claw contraption. Yamato pulls out a wooden board and mallet and builds a wooden claw contraption. When a target is within range, the contraption triggers and extends a wooden arm forward to grab the target. Can be used together with Skill 2 to set the contraption on a wooden stake.

Tip A contraption with a grab effect, useful for dealing with ninjas that have super armor.

Wood Style: Scattered Stakes TechniqueSkill 2

Yamato forms seals, then creates a wooden platform in front of him that can be stood on; Yamato can build another platform on top of a platform; at most 5 platforms can be created in the Arena.

Tip A short press creates a long platform, and a long press creates a high platform; platforms can be stacked up to 3 levels high; during recovery, tapping Basic attack directly uses the last hit of the Basic attack, and swiping Skill 1 quickly climbs onto a platform to build a contraption; when there are more than 5 platforms in the Arena, the earliest created platform is destroyed.

Wood Style: Scattered Stakes TechniqueSkill 2 · Hold

Yamato uses Wood Style to raise a tall wooden stake that launches the target. Skill 2 has two charges. Yamato can use the sub-skills to go up and down the stakes. After climbing up, using Skill 2 again builds a new stake on top of an existing one. If a stake is blocked by another stake when created, the earlier stake is destroyed. Stakes can reach three levels and are destroyed after taking a certain amount of damage.

Tip Tall stakes are useful against ninjas without anti-air skills, and they extend the contraption's attack range much more than flat stakes.

Wood Style: Scattered Stakes TechniqueSkill 2 · Combination

When Yamato is on or near a stake, the sub-skills for climbing up and down are unlocked, letting him move between stakes. Swiping the basic attack during Skill 2 triggers a 4A on the spot, leaping forward and slamming down. Swiping Skill 1 during Skill 2 quickly climbs the stake and sets up the Skill 1 contraption on it.

Tip By releasing Yamato's Skill 2 and Skill 1 multiple times, you can form different combinations that keep the target from approaching, and open on the target using contraptions whose range has been extended by the stakes.

Wood Style: Wood Dragon Silent Binding TechniqueUltimate

Yamato creates several wooden bars, grabs the opponent ahead, and wraps them in a wooden ball; Yamato then creates a mechanical wood dragon that, after soaring through the air, bites the opponent trapped in the wooden ball and slams them heavily into the ground.
