Yamada is Crissandre's go-to guy when the team of Battlemages need reinforcements. He’s like their secret weapon! He comes flying over the battlefield, evading enemies' attacks and healing his allies, just like a miracle.
Role: Support
Overview
Yamada is a nice Fire support. Starting with his positives, he has a decent speed and good relics in Essence so he can essentially come back and help his team a second time. His moveset attempts to mix dealing damage while supporting allies. He has NER which is great and his main form of support is through healing, but should you find yourself against monsters with Reverse Healing, this owl might be doomed. While he also offers Damage Boost, Precision, and Evasion for himself, his trait isn't that good and he's a bit bland when compared to modern supports such as Belbreath. Overall, early-game Yamada is a great pick for a support, but is outclassed nowadays.
Pros:
- Access to 5 positive effects and NER
- Moderate to low cooldowns and stamina costs
- Good relic slot in Essence
- Great team sustainability
Cons:
- Average stats
- Mediocre trait
- Trap is awful with low life

Counters
- Yamada relies on a lot of Healing to support his allies, so anyone who can use Reverse Healing, such as Pierceid and Dr. Marihelson, can make Yamada hurt his allies instead of helping them.
- Like all supporters, PER destroys his role.
- His squishy life allows Water Attackers, like iMigbo, to take down this healing owl. iMigbo also can remove Yamada's trait and Possess him.
