Yamato Synergies

Yamato wants a partner who capitalizes on the chaos she creates when she dives in and forces the enemy to scatter. Seven fits this well, since his heavy area burst lands cleanly once Yamato has pinned the enemy team and stopped them from spreading out. She opens the fight and holds targets in place, and he collects the follow-up damage before they recover. What she brings is the initiation and target focus that lets a slower damage dealer like Seven pick his moment instead of forcing it.

Yamato wins 48.40% of matches overall (#25 of 38 heroes) since the Matchmaking Update. Its best duo is Victor — together they win 54.55%; the weakest pairing is Silver at 42.15%.
