Who is Yami?
Yami is one of those characters who brings a lot of depth and charisma to "Black Clover." His background is shrouded in mystery, and there are hints of a fascinating past that's slowly unveiled throughout the series.
One of the coolest things about Yami is his magic, Dark Magic, which he uses in various ways, including creating portals with his "Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash" technique. His fighting style is intense and direct, often overwhelming opponents with sheer power and precision.
Despite his tough exterior and gruff demeanor, Yami has a strong sense of responsibility towards his squad, the Black Bulls, whom he leads with a unique mix of authority and understanding. He genuinely cares for his comrades and values their growth, often offering guidance in his own peculiar way. His interactions with other characters, especially with Asta and Julius Novachrono, add depth to his character and showcase different facets of his personality.
And hey, his habit of saying "I'm going to surpass my limits!" or "I don't care about magic!" in his rough, straightforward way is both amusing and inspiring. Yami's dedication to getting stronger and pushing his own boundaries is pretty motivating.
Overall, Yami's a crucial and beloved character in "Black Clover," contributing not only to the action-packed moments but also to the emotional core of the series. His presence on screen always manages to bring excitement and a sense of security to fans!
Yami's Role
He functions as a firepower unit capable of debuff-like movements. Academy Yami serves as an attacker character, yet his skills allow him to fulfill debuffer roles, such as 'healing disruption,' 'SP reduction,' 'absolute silence,' and 'barrier removal.'
These effects are more potent in PvP compared to PvE, although they can still be effective in PvE situations.
Blue Yami himself is a mix of both a debuffer and a buffer. Naturally, every attacker functions as a buffer, but he possesses some potent debuffing capabilities, particularly strong against red units due to the type advantage and his passives.

Skills and Passives
In terms of his skills and priority upgrades, let's begin with his skill set. His first skill provides an all-attack increase when he has four or more SP, delivering substantial damage. The second skill is an AoE that grants HP Recovery immunity and SP +1, and if enhanced by a skill page, provides SP +2 and the removal of one debuff, amplifying damage by 15%. His ultimate applies total silence, bypassing defenses, and reduces SP by three, effectively hindering enemies from using their abilities.
Improving his ultimate to level five is essential as reducing SP by four prevents enemies from executing combos. As for other enhancements, focusing on his AoE skill can be beneficial, especially for PvE. Concerning his passives, his increased favored damage against specific types and increased damage dealt at dupe two are advantageous. However, dupe five offers SP +1 per turn, accelerating his attack frequency.
