Ishiyama The Immovable Overview

Wielding his fiery chain flail, this descendant of one of Yakai’s greatest warriors rises to destroy all who threaten his realm. Decades ago, Ishiyama was set ablaze by a monster known as Fyro, the Fire Knight. He was consumed by the flames – and in the aftermath, he entered his ancestors’ vault and equipped himself with the strongest armor in Shadowkin history, known to make the wearer immovable by any enemy.

Ishiyama the Immovable focuses on dealing damage while growing stronger against enemies under debuffs, all while placing a few debuffs of his own. His debuffs come from his A2, an AoE attack that can place Fear, Decrease C.DMG, and Decrease C.RATE on enemies, with the effects becoming irresistible if the target has two or more debuffs. Since many bosses, like the Hydra, or in the Doom Tower have a base 15% Crit Rate, lowering their Crit Rate helps protect your team from dangerous hits. The Fear also adds crowd control for enemies, or perhaps the Chimera’s Ram Form.

One of the main reasons these debuffs are important is that they help scale his MAX HP, as he passively gains 3% MAX HP, up to 30%, for each debuff he places. This means that as the fight progresses, he becomes stronger and tankier, allowing him to sustain hits more effectively and deal more damage. Additionally, if an enemy resists one of his debuffs, he can place his debuffs unresisted on his next hit.

In terms of his damage potential, the A3 is expected to be his strongest skill, ignoring 25% of a target’s Defence – or 50% if the target is under two or more debuffs. This makes it strong for taking down a single enemy or dealing solid damage to bosses. Upon killing a target with this skill, he also places Block Damage on himself, providing strong self-protection in areas like the Arena.

With the long awaited Hard Mode Faction Wars arriving, Ishiyama is expected to be a strong option for this content, as well as other faction limited areas like the Cursed City, or even in certain Shadowkin Siege teams if his damage potential meets expectations. Additionally, his A1 can reflect random debuffs back onto enemies and allows him to counterattack with it when attacked by enemies under debuffs.
