Best party partners
Slot Yakumo beside a Pal that covers the Ground weakness chart at /elements, so a single swap answers whatever resists you. Keep one flyer for traversal and one Handiwork Pal for field crafting alongside it.
How to fight a wild Yakumo
Open from behind for the backstab multiplier, keep its Solar Beam, Solar Beam, Earth Fissure, Rock Blast on cooldown by circling, and use the /damage calculator to confirm your weapon clears its 262 DEF before you commit ammo.
PvP notes
Yakumo is a niche PvP pick — bring it for the Miner's Grip partner skill rather than raw stats. Ranked lobbies punish single-element teams, so never stack two Ground Pals.
Boss and raid use
Against tower and raid bosses, Yakumo performs best with a same-type damage move plus a shield-breaking partner. Check the raid rotation notes on /guides before committing a full team.
