Natan's Yamato

Makes hitting your shots a lot easier, builds into opening rounds

Builds into Spirit Snatch, procs when you hit your 2 on someone

Easy to hit with Right Clicks, pay attention to the cooldown and try to hit it on enemy heroes

Extra burst and slow, can sell late game

Flying Slash (2) procs it now, pretty good

4.8k gun investment, shreds spirit resist to increase your damage yippie

Buy whenever you need to sell resto shot for slot so you keep the 4.8k gun investment

More ults, can go torment pulse instead of cooldown here but imo having ult up very often kinda OP

Shorter cooldowns yippie

More spirit, more dmg, more healing, builds into Boundless Spirit later on

More spirit, can delay for tank items, not high priority

Probably OP item

Healing Reduction and heal on kill, almost always good

Vs gun heavy teams

Solid vs Spirit Burst, but Counterspell kinda does same but better while being more slot efficient

Scales with spirit so can be nice, good vs lanes/teams that proc it easily (haze bebop vindicta abrams etc etc)

Vs lots of debuffs

Gets us to 4.8k Vitality, the healing boost is kind of irrelevant right now, but once we get T3 Crimson Slash it's good

If you cant cast ult because of Silences, or just vs general debuffs like infernus mirage drifter seven etc

Parry that shit

Almost always good vs Spirit heavy teams

mobility option, gives bullet res too

Vs gun heavy teams to survive shorter engagements, for example a haze targeting you

Just free extra damage in fights, low key can skip maybe

Procs on 3 now so really easy to constantly proc in fights. Make sure your Crimson Slash does over 165 damage when you pick this up.

If enemy team has lots of consistent high spirit damage abilities, for example Seven who constantly does 75+ dmg with his power surge, this item is mega OP you get your cds back instantly

Vs gun heavy team, extra gap closer, disarm and good damage as well

Vs Spirit Burst teams / debuffs (pocket lash etc) Witchmail often better imo

Vs gun/on hits (mina haze mirage etc)

If you need to frontline against a mixed damage team

If you want a barrier after ult and some duration

2 ults, great if you know the next fight is gonna be the last fight/deciding fight of the game.

26 second cd with transcendant cooldown, great for stalling in fights and avoiding burst

More slash damage

Reduces item cooldowns, mystic shot, torment pulse, counterspell etc. Can delay for tank items, not high priority
