    We love T2 items on Yamato!

    1. HealbaneHealbaneInsane item for Yamato, but you can skip it by buying Burn right after and make other items instead of this.
    2. Healing BoosterHealing BoosterEasy to buy: +800 to improve Extra Regen. Boosts your entire kit!
    3. Spirit LifestealSpirit LifestealVery interesting stats. Combines with Healing Booster. But you can wait to buy it at the time of Leech/Infuser.
