Yakarl the Scourge

Last Updated: September 14, 2026

Yakarl the Scourge Overview

Yakarl the Scourge is a powerful control Champion who combines reliable AoE Freeze with Turn Meter manipulation and scaling damage, making him a strong option for controlling PvE waves, key bosses, and progression teams in Arena.

Yakarl the Scourge, Blizzard King of the Barbarians, is a Void Legendary available to all players by purchasing his Fragments with Clan Gold from the Clan Shop. Once considered an underwhelming reward for the time required to unlock him, his rework in Patch 5.30 transformed Yakarl into a powerful control Champion with strong damage and Turn Meter manipulation.

Freeze sits at the heart of Yakarl’s kit. His A3 attacks all enemies with a strong chance of placing Freeze, becoming guaranteed and irresistible against targets with 75% Turn Meter or higher. This gives him an excellent way to lock down enemy teams, while his passive rewards having Frozen Champions by increasing the damage he deals and reducing the damage he receives for each active Freeze.

Yakarl also brings excellent single target utility through his A2, capable of stealing an enemy’s Turn Meter before attacking. This makes him particularly effective against the likes of Fire Knight & Dark Fae, where controlling the boss’s Turn Meter is a major part of the encounter. His combination of Freeze, Turn Meter manipulation, and damage also makes him a strong option for PVE waves, key bosses and Arena progression.
