Everything You Need To Know About Yatzli In Avowed

by

In “Avowed”, the significance of having companions is evident right from the start, as you engage in battle beside your crew member at Northreach Fort. With the multitude of adversaries you encounter simultaneously in this game, it could quickly become overpowering if your allies don’t divert some of them away from you.

Besides drawing enemy attention, every major character serves a distinct purpose, and it’s Yatzli, the one you unlock last in Shatterscarp, who stands out as particularly valuable during battles when utilized effectively.

Yatzli Abilities, Explained

Among the four companions, it’s their unique exploratory skills that set them apart. While the other three can to some degree have their special abilities replicated using specific items, Yatzli stands out as the one whose ability is utterly irreplaceable.

During your adventure, you’ll encounter illusions tinted in shades of purple, which are connected to the main narrative of Shatterscarp. Only she has the power to dispel these illusions. Additionally, you can utilize her unique abilities in combat alongside yours.

Essence Explosion Upon activation, Yatzli opens a portal that spawns a giant orb and drops it on the target enemy. This deals damage in a small AoE while also knocking back the enemy.

With upgrades, you can reduce this ability’s cooldown, increase its explosion radius, and let it deal fire accumulation to the enemies.

Minoletta’s Missile Battery This ability also spawns an orb above the target, but this orb stays in the air and continuously launches missiles at the surrounding enemies. With Shock Aspect, you can also make these missiles deal shock accumulation.

Other upgrades can increase the missile rate of fire and the radius of the ability.

Arduous Delay of Motion This is a simple ability that slows down an enemy for a few seconds. You can turn this ability into a multi-target one with the Exhausting Field upgrade, and also increase its slow effect while applying frost with other upgrades.
Blast This passive lets Yatzli’s attacks burst into a small area after hitting the first enemy. With Explosive Blast, you can make this AoE damage remove enemy blocks, break walls, and deal increased damage to frozen enemies.

With upgrades, this ability can also inflict a random debuff on the enemy and deal increased stun.

Yatzli Upgrade Priority

In the game Avowed, acquiring companion points might not be common, and you have the option to invest up to 15 of them for each companion. Whenever you earn a companion skill point, you can allocate one towards every companion, and here are some suggestions for Yatzli’s upgrades:

Unlock Priority Ability Name Upgrade Priority (Left to Right)
1 Essence Explosion (already unlocked) Concentrated Essence Scrappy Casting Fire Aspect
2 Blast Force Blast Affliction Blast Explosive Blast
3 Minoletta’s Missile Battery Speedy Salvo Horizon Strike Shock Aspect
4 Arduous Delay of Motion Exhausting Field Frost Aspect Energy Sap

When Should You Use Yatzli?

After acquiring Yatzli in Shatterscarp, she proves indispensable for your team because she’s the only one who can pierce through illusions. But this isn’t a downside since she essentially takes over Marius’ role as your damage dealer within the party. Yatzli is capable of dishing out substantial damage to both individual and multiple foes.

You can utilize both Marius and Yatzli simultaneously as they have the ability to inflict greater stuns on your enemies.

Marius has the power to swiftly overcome tough, stunned opponents using one of his skills, creating an effective partnership in this case.

Once you acquire Yatzli, it’s best to have her as a permanent member of your party. However, since she harmonizes well with all other companions, feel free to select any character for the second slot according to your game strategy and character build.
