==Abilities==
Name 	Description 	Notes 	
Perk: Way of the Grain 	His basic attacks increase his movement speed by 20% for 2 seconds. After attacking 5 times in the same hero, Yoshiro's next basic attack will deal 100% more damage. 	 	
Grass Twister (D) (1) 	Yoshiro's next basic attack is empowered upon activation.
First Strike: Unleashes an attack that can strikethrough (cleave attack) to enemies in the area, they receive 50% reduced damage from the strikethrough damage.
Second Strike: Unleashes an attack that both can strikethrough and slow enemies for 3 seconds. Strikethrough damage is now 75% your basic attack.
Third Strike: Unleashes a tornado on the area in front of him, dealing medium damage to enemies along the way. Enemies that it passes through are Bounced into the air for 1.5 seconds. The tornado lasts longer once it passes through a bush.	The first and second strikes can apply Way of the Grain, but the third strike doesn't. 	
Harmony Stance (D) (2) 	Yoshiro enters a stance of complete harmony. Rapidly healing an amount of health over 10 seconds. He is Disarmed while the stance is active. Taking damage interrupts the stance but gives Yoshiro an adrenaline rush, causing him to gain +50% movement and attack speed for 2 seconds. 	 	
Blade of Balance (D) (3) 	Passive: Yoshiro's katana enters the state of Yang. While in this state, his attack allow him to deal extra damage based of his movement speed. If he is disabled (stunned, slowed, rooted, etc), Yang Blade is disabled for 10 seconds or until Blade of Balance is off cooldown.
Active: Yoshiro dashes to the target line, damaging the first enemy he hit before whirling his blade around, dealing additional damage to surrounding enemies. His katana enters the state of Yin for 10 seconds. While in this state, his attacks are armor piercing but a lot slower. Yin Blade disappears when used on Grass Twister or Harmony Stance.	Both Yang and Yin Blades apply Way of the Grain, but only Yang can do a speed boost.
The initial dash damage and the whirl damage does not stack, meaning the initial target can only.be damaged by the initial dash.
Blade of Balance active prioritizes bounced heroes (especially via Grass Twister)	
Harvester Sweep (D) (Ult)	Yoshiro instantly dashes through the targeted path, following a line. He slashes enemies.along the way. Each receiving 3 slashes that deal heavy damage. Yoshiro can only slash for a maximum of 12 slashes, before dashing to the end of the path. Yoshiro has fortified health and is immune to negative effects while slashing. 	Without any enemies in his path, he simply dashes through the whole line drawn.
Harvester Sweep can apply Way of the Grain. 	
Fatal Feint
(A) (1) 	Yoshiro dashes to his target and performs a quick slash. This does not do damage but Dazes the enemy. If this Daze effect is successfully applied (i.e. the enemy does not block it) Yoshiro follows up with a sweeping stroke that does bonus damage based on the target's missing health and knocks the enemy into the air from the force of the impact. 
Overdrive: If the target enemy is killed within 1.5 seconds of the attack, Yoshire gains an extra burst of movement speed and this ability's cooldown is refreshed.	Only the secondary stroke applies Way of the Grain. 	
Crushing Vitality (A) (2)	Yoshiro channels for 1.2 seconds, then spins his sword around himself, damaging all nearby enemies. His next basic attack is replaced by a powerful leap through the air that smashes down on and stuns its target. Yoshiro regenerates 30% of all damage done by this ability as health. 	The leaping attack applies Way of the Grain twice, but the sword spin does not. 	
Steel Drive 
(A) (3) 	Yoshiro blasts through a line of enemies with his sword, damaging everyone hit. If this hits at least one enemy, Yoshiro darts to the other end of the line and causes his next basic attack to do +35% damage. 	Only the empowered basic attack at the end can apply Way of the Grain. 	
Unfettered Spirit
(A) (Ult)	Yoshiro visualises the mental chains restricting his and his allies' souls, then temporarily breaks them, globally giving him and all allies doubled movement speed, +15% Crazy and Infinity power, and 25% resistance to disables. Meanwhile, he surges toward a selected target, smashing it for heavy damage and creating a spiritual shockwave that slows and silences all enemies in a wide cone.	While Unfettered Spirit is active, Way of the Grain is disabled, but the 100% damage bonus will immediately activate once Unfettered Spirit expires.
