2.43Yamato
Apollo demonstrates noticeably stronger kill-death-assist performance against Yamato, maintaining a 3.05 KDA versus 2.43. This 0.62 point gap reflects Apollo's superior ability to secure eliminations while avoiding death in these head-to-head encounters.

Kill production between Apollo and Yamato is virtually identical, with Apollo averaging 7.7 kills per game and Yamato securing 7.8. This parity suggests both heroes are equally capable of finding frags in this matchup, and outcomes depend more heavily on objective play, ability usage, and team coordination than raw elimination numbers.

Avg Deaths
6.6Apollo
7.9Yamato
Apollo demonstrates markedly better survivability against Yamato, recording fewer deaths per game. Dying less frequently gives Apollo significantly more impact potential — more opportunities for multi-kills, more presence in objective fights, and more economic stability from staying alive.

Player DMG
37,058Apollo
38,973Yamato
Yamato applies 1,915 more damage per game than Apollo in this matchup (38,973 vs 37,058). While not overwhelming, this gap compounds meaningfully over a full match: Yamato contributes noticeably more chip damage, assists, and near-kills that set up teammates. Apollo can close this gap through better trading patterns, ensuring their damage leads to actual eliminations rather than just tagging opponents who then escape or get healed.
Objective DMG
5,404Apollo
5,632Yamato
Objective damage contribution is similar between Apollo (5,404) and Yamato (5,632). Neither hero has a distinct advantage when it comes to taking towers, walkers, or the patron. Team coordination will be more important than hero selection for objective control.
