Yakarl the Scourge is a Legendary Void Attack champion of the Barbarians faction, the Blizzard King whose conquest of Teleria comes with one of the most striking backstories in the game. Earnable through Clan Gold fragments in the Clan Shop, he launched as an underwhelming Void Legendary before a comprehensive Patch 5.30 rework turned Freeze into the centerpiece of his kit.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Freeze-Scaling Damage and Survivability: His passive, Lord of Ice, boosts his own damage by 10% and cuts damage he takes by 10% for every Champion in the battle under Freeze, ally or enemy alike, and grants him Unkillable for a turn whenever he kills a Frozen enemy.
Guaranteed Freeze Against Fast Enemies: His A3, Glaciate, is an AoE attack with a 75% chance to place Freeze, rising to a guaranteed, unresistible 100% against any enemy with 75% or more Turn Meter.
Full Turn Meter Steal with Speed Control: His A2, Blizzard Rider, carries a 75% base (100% booked) chance to place both a 30% Decrease SPD and a 1-turn Freeze, while also stealing 100% of the target's Turn Meter and granting himself a 30% Increase SPD buff.
Key Weaknesses
Freeze Penalizes His Own Damage: Being frozen himself cuts his damage output by 25%, so he needs to avoid Freeze effects turned back on him to keep his kit performing at full strength.
Yakarl shines in Doom Tower and Arena, pairing especially well with another Freeze-focused champion like Ninja or Gliseah Soulguide, and performs excellently against the Dark Fae thanks to his 100% Turn Meter steal.
