</WRAP>

<wrap retailsemibold>Power Slash</wrap>((by default, 1)) is <yamato_sm> Yamato’s first ability. In it, she channels a powerful sword slash over a period of 1.4 seconds. During this period, her movement is slowed to a crawl and she is not able to use abilities or active items.

By [[universaltech:dashing]] then immediately using <wrap retailsemibold>Power Slash</wrap>, you can carry the momentum from the dash into <wrap retailsemibold>Power Slash</wrap>, allowing you to move while channelling.

The **Dash Slash** can be used as a surprise option, as a way to make it harder to escape the slash or to close the distance.

To execute, dash then while still moving, use <wrap retailsemibold>Power Slash</wrap>.

</WRAP>

<yamato_sm> Yamato’s second ability, <wrap retailsemibold>Flying Strike</wrap>, has her throw a grappling hook onto an enemy

By targeting an enemy player and cancelling while moving towards them, you can maintain the momentum and use that for movement. This is called an **Empty Strike**((AKA "Flying Drill Breaker", "Fly Cancel", "Grapple Jump", "Flying Strike Cancel")).

Moving backwards while the grapple is thrown allows you to gain more speed, since <wrap retailsemibold>Flying Strike</wrap> will increase your launch velocity if you are further. This becomes more powerful with move speed items such as the <weapon> <wrap retailsemibold><color #9E6203>Weapon</color></wrap> item <item_fleetfoot> <wrap retailsemibold>Fleetfoot</wrap> or by [[universaltech:dashing|dashing]] backwards before casting. By quickly [[universaltech:Air Jumping]] or [[universaltech:Sliding]] after cancelling, you can cover more distance after the cancel.

For the most amount of speed, execute an Empty Strike on the ground; executing one from the air results in less speed.

Empty Strike can be used for quickly evading an enemy opponent that is attacking from behind.

To execute, use <wrap retailsemibold>Flying Strike</wrap>. Just after you start to move and before the slash would connect, press space to cancel <wrap retailsemibold>Flying Strike</wrap>. After this, you are fully actionable in the air.

</WRAP>

<yamato_sm> Yamato’s first ability, <wrap retailsemibold>Power Slash</wrap>, has her charge a sword slash while slowing descent in the air.

By using [[universaltech:zmc|Zipline Momentum Conservation]], you are able to carry over transit line momentum while in <wrap retailsemibold>Power Slash</wrap>.

This can help chase down opponents in lane.

To execute, drop off the transit line and use <wrap retailsemibold>Power Slash</wrap>.
