Yoshi the Drunkard Overview

Yoshi’s 2026 buffs modernised his kit, turning him into a far stronger support and control champion with AoE HP Burn, reliable True Fear, Turn Meter boosting, and Accuracy manipulation, giving him solid value for Hydra, Spider, wave control, and general PvE progression.

Yoshi the Drunkard is a Force affinity Legendary from the Shadowkin faction and was the very first champion revealed for the faction back in March 2021. He was originally obtainable through a Fragment Summon event launched on March 16th, 2021.

As of 2026, Yoshi received buffs aimed at improving his overall effectiveness by modernising the core mechanics of his kit. He now has slightly higher base SPD, while his passive Turn Meter gain when enemies receive buffs was increased from 4% to 5%, improving his turn cycling over longer fights.

His A3 also received significant improvements. While it still places Increase ATK and Increase ACC on allies, it now additionally fills ally Turn Meters and can place True Fear on enemies without conditions. This makes him much stronger for supporting ally rotations, increasing team damage and Accuracy thresholds, while also giving him reliable crowd control against waves without requiring enemies to already be under Increase ATK.

As for the A2, it is now an AoE attack instead of a random two hit ability, allowing it to place Decrease ACC and HP Burn across the enemy team. The synergy between this and the A3 is great for manipulating Accuracy, while the HP Burn adds strong value against content like Hydra, Spider, and Frost Spider. His A1 has also been improved with a higher chance to place Stun, while applying Decrease RES to enemies who resist the Stun.
