Yato is a 2★ Pioneer Vanguard given as one of the starting Operators. As a Pioneer Vanguard, Yato has high HP and DEF, and can block two enemies. But since she is a 2★ Operator who has no skills, Yato has no means to generate DP.
The said fact also gives Yato the lowest DP cost of all Vanguards, but she cannot be promoted and is stuck at the maximum level of 30, thus she will never be able to keep up with Pioneer Vanguards of higher rarity. On the flipside, Yato is very easy to raise, both in levels due to only requiring a minimal sum of 
LMD and in Potential through recruitment (which is also the only way to get more of her copies).
Yato's talent, Fast Redeployment, cuts her redeployment time by 30 seconds, giving her a redeployment time of 40 seconds or 35 seconds at Potential 3 – half of other Operators' 70 seconds. While the quicker redeployment time cannot match that of Executor Specialists (18 seconds), Yato's low DP cost means that she is quite cost-efficient to act as a makeshift one, especially if combined with Zima's Spearheader (at Elite 2) which reduces Yato's DP cost to 4 – second only to Robot Operators, though this is mainly useful in some Challenge Mode and Contingency Contract operations which restricts or forbids the use of Specialists.
Yato's first base skill, Order Distribution β, increases Trading Posts' order acquisition efficiency by 30% when she is assigned to one. Her second base skill, Standardization α, increases Factories' productivity by 15% when Yato is assigned to one.
Overall, Yato is a good Pioneer Vanguard for earlier contents, but as the player progresses, she will eventually be outperformed by her higher rarity counterparts, especially in regards to Vanguards' core functionality to generate DP. Still, her low DP cost, well-rounded stats, and faster redeployment time mean that Yato can still serve well as a reserve/backup Operator.
