Yukimasa, Demon Of Ice

This Shadowkin warrior is a master of damage, control, and icy manipulation. Just when his enemies believe they hold the upper hand, he twists their confidence into fuel for his own awakening… unleashing a chilling surge of power that freezes them in place, leaving his chosen target exposed and helpless. Yukimasa, Demon of Ice arrives as the Christmas Fusion of 2025!

Yukimasa brings a versatile kit, filling the roles of damage dealer, controller, and clutch reviver. He performs best when paired with an ally who can provide reliable crowd control, allowing his effects to become irresistible if you choose to focus fully on offensive stats rather than Accuracy – though building Accuracy is still an option if he’s your only source of control. His A1 opens with an AoE attack that has a 40% chance to place Block Active Skills, making it great for stopping Mythicals from metamorphing and preventing enemies from using key skills. If he loses his turn due to control, this attack will instantly trigger.

For his own control, Yukimasa’s A2 has an AoE attack that places Freeze, and ignores Block Damage from champions like Helicath or Odin. It also brings valuable utility to the Shadowkin faction by reviving a single ally if no enemy is killed, or reviving the entire team if he secures at least one kill. Revivers are rare within Shadowkin, so having an active, reliable source of revival is a huge asset – especially when paired with his ability to control enemies and deal damage at the same time. The Freeze becomes irresistible against enemies already under control effects, giving him even more consistency in locking opponents down.

Yukimasa’s main damage source comes from his A3 – a single-target hit that steals Turn Meter before attacking, equalizes the target’s Defence with his own, and deals increased damage based on how much Turn Meter he steals. Since he’ll generally have lower Defence than tankier enemies, this equalization makes breaking them down far easier, and the Turn Meter steal can push him faster into another turn. This also makes the ability particularly strong against bosses like the Dark Fae and the Fire Knight.

His passive pushes the kit even further, granting him 50% Turn Meter whenever he loses a turn due to crowd control, while also allowing him to ignore 50% of the target’s Defence on his next active skill. This is excellent for wave-based content, letting him cycle turns quickly and hit much harder. The tradeoff, however, is that he has no built-in survival tools, making him vulnerable – especially in PvP, where he can be taken out before he gets another chance to act.
