Signature mechanic

Triple Shroud marks empower his skills

Every combo finisher grants a Triple Shroud mark, and his skills scale with how many he holds. Sharpened Focus lets him chain straight into another combo after a finisher, with each follow-up shorter than the last, so a skilled Yodarha stacks finishers extremely quickly. He also hands the party Immunity and Invincibility, which is unusual for a mobile duellist.

Yodarha is a fast and mobile character that focuses on combo finishers, and is able to buff his team with Immunity and Invincibility. However, his own damage relies heavily on ramping up properly to maximize damage.— Game8 tier assessment

Support skills (passives)

  • Lost for Words

    Yodarha's skills are enhanced based on the number of Triple Shroud marks he has. Landing a combo finisher gives 1 mark.

  • Sharpened Focus

    Yodarha can chain into another combo by pressing attack after a combo finisher. Each follow-up combo gets shorter, allowing him to trigger finishers more often.

How to unlock

Players may unlock Yodarha by using a Crewmate Card in Siero's Knickknack Shack in a town. You obtain Crewmate Cards by progressing through the main story.

Strengths

  • 1

    Very fast and mobile

    Short chained combos mean high finisher density and easy repositioning.

  • 2

    Party immunity and invincibility

    Rare defensive utility on a character who is otherwise a pure duellist.

  • 3

    Cheap to gear

    A straightforward damage-cap stack works; no exotic requirements.

Weaknesses

  • 1

    Ramp-heavy

    His damage only arrives after several finishers; short fights waste him.

  • 2

    Mediocre ceiling

    Even ramped he sits below the top DPS bracket.

  • 3

    Fragile

    Low effective health means Chaos++ hits remove him quickly if you misplay.

Builds by progression stage

Chaos → Chaos+ → Chaos++, then Defy Infinity

Triple Shroud Savvy. His party invincibility keeps him relevant even where his damage isn't leading.

Sigil loadout — Fatebreaker

A major part of the build involves using Basic , Attack , and Defense Stat-type Sigils to maximize Yodarha's Master Traits that provide DMG Cap , ATK , and DEF . Additionally, new traits in Endless Ragnarok such as Fatebreaker , Celestial Lumen , and Celestial Terra all provide additional DMG Cap.

Cascade , Quick Cooldown , and Uplift are important for both Skill and SBA uptime. Greater Aegis is there to increase your HP, but make sure not to cross the 200,000 limit for Catastrophe Nova. Steel Nerves synergizes with the Stout Heart trait from your summons to provide more DEF.

Gearing priorities

  • Transcended Terminus (T.Lvl 7): Catastrophe Nova, DMG Cap, Sigil Booster, Unbound Master
  • While progressing Chaos, a transcended Defender weapon usually beats an un-transcended Terminus
  • The standard template: 5 Basic-Stat + 3 Attack + 2 Defense/Support sigils
  • Fatebreaker V+, Celestial Lumen V+ and Celestial Terra V+ in the attack slots
  • Improved Dodge+ and Steel Nerves V+ for survivability that does not cost damage
  • Summons for their traits: War Elemental, Stout Heart, Berserker Echo, Spartan Echo

Over Mastery bonuses

  • Critical Hit Rate Up
  • Skill Damage Up
  • Skill Damage Cap Up
  • Normal Attack Damage Cap Up

Focus on getting Normal Attack Damage Cap Up since this is where the majority of Yodarha's damage will be coming from. Critical Hit Rate Up is ideal for more consistent damage overall.

This distribution considers Master Level 50.

For Yodarha's Master Traits, we recommend focusing on Triple Shroud Savvy to focus mainly on his normal attack combos as his main damage source. This build will require mastery of the normal attack combo's perfect timings to maximize damage.

For the other styles, get nodes that provide bonuses based on equipped Sigils and additional DMG Cap to maximize damage.

Execution

Combos & rotation

  • Yodarha Ramping Combo6 steps
    1. 1Use Perpetual Rotation for full Triple Shroud marks
    2. 2Use Hymn of the Hundreds for survivability
    3. 3Use Sky Shatter and finish with unique attack
    4. 4Execute normal attack combo
    5. 5Use consecutive combo finishers
    6. 6Maintain Triple Shroud marks by alternating between normal attack combos and combo finishers

    Yodarha's main combo revolves around always getting maximum Triple Shroud marks and weaving in skills to constantly perform combo finishers . Ideally, you always want to use skills when you have 3 marks to maximize damage.

  • Aim for 4 Consecutive Normal Attack Combos

    Yodarha's Normal Attack combo gets shorter for every combo he does consecutively. Always aim to reach past 4 combos , since this is the point where you only need to alternate between the Normal Attack button and the Combo Finisher button.

    Constantly ramping up to the shortest possible combo maximizes damage and allows Yodarha to be invincible half the time, which contributes to his survivability.

  • Do Combo Finishers After Skills

    While weaving in skills during Normal Attack combos, make sure to always do combo finishers to always gain 1 mark back . This automatically reduces the number of combos you need to land to get your full marks back.

Kit

Skills

Recommended loadout — Empty Mist and Perpetual Rotation

The most important skills to have equipped are Perpetual Rotation and Hymn of the Hundreds . Perpetual Rotations allows you to initiate combos by instantly providing full Triple Shroud Marks, and Hymn of the Hundreds is a great buff that allows you to ignore enemy attacks for its duration.

For utility, Awakening is used as an extra gap closer that can chain into a combo finisher. Lastly, Sky Shatter is a good damage skill that you can use to consume your Triple Shroud marks before looping into a normal attack combo.
