Yarida

“	Yarida sees the world through internal crosshairs... and enemies rue the day his sight falls upon them. He always makes sure that all his spears are perfectly balanced for his strength - this and his homing-missile skills is what make enemies cry in their sleep when they dream of Yarida!	”
	— Quoted directly from official North American Patapon website.

“	The basic spear class. Scatters the foe from behind the front lines. Lots of room to grow.	”
	— US In-game description.

Yarida (ヤリーダ) is a Yaripon Uberhero first introduced in Patapon 3. He is one of the three parent classes, the others being Taterazay and Yumiyacha; the player chooses one of them at the beginning of Patapon 3, each one having separate abilities and attributes. Yarida is a mid-range class that excels in dealing damage with spears, capable of striking multiple opponents simultaneously at a safe distance. However, his proximity to the front lines means he is prone to collateral damage and is fairly vulnerable due to his lack of defensive equipment.

Appearance

Yarida sports a blue mask and wears a light blue cape by default. His default hairstyle is straight ponytail with three strands.

Yarida's mask remains the same as he evolves.

Base

Story

Yarida is revived by Silver Hoshipon and the Almighty, once you play as him you march toward the sound of the Pata Drum where you find Hatapon praying to the Almighty for help, he joins you and you march back towards your petrified Patapon comrades where Silver Hoshipon will revive three Patapon warriors, Ton Yaripon, Chin Tatepon and Kan Yumipon and he drops Ka-ching on the way. Hatapon will take Meden (still petrified) on the way.

Acquisition

Yarida is at level 1 when he is unlocked, which is either if the player chooses him at the beginning of the game, or when either Taterazay or Yumiyacha reach level 15.

• When Yarida reaches level 3, Kibadda is unlocked.
• When Yarida reaches level 5, Piekron is unlocked.
• When Yarida reaches level 7, Cannassault is unlocked.
• When Yarida and Piekron reach level 9, Wooyari is unlocked.
• When Yarida reaches level 12, and Cannassault and Pyokorider reach level 10, Charibasa is unlocked.
• When Yarida reaches level 15, Taterazay and Yumiyacha are unlocked, if the player has not already unlocked them (Uberhero only).

Equipment

Yarida can be equipped with:

• Helms by default.
• Spears by default.

Uberhero Mode: Fear Spear

"Throw powerful glowing spears that explode upon landing. Explosions inflict damage over a wide range."

• Activate:
• Combo:

During Fear Spear, Yarida relentlessly launches spears towards his opponents, only limited by his attack speed. Similar to the Yaripon Hero's "Iron Fist" in Patapon 2, the spears will cause a damaging explosion on contact, though Yarida's explosions have a considerably smaller blast radius. When Piekron's Class Skills, Leaping Spear and Spear BOOM, have been unlocked, Yarida will jump before each throw, as well as causing lighting to strike where the spears land, given that it is raining.

Upon activation, Yarida will shout, "Yabayari!"

Class Skills

As with all Class Skills, each skill requires 100,000 experience to master. The amount of experience gained is dependent on the skill. Yarida's Class Skills will be inherited by Piekron and Charibasa (if Yaripon Spirit has been unlocked).

Strategy

• When selecting an Uberhero at the start of the game, Yarida offers the most offensive gameplay. Fear Spear deals a large amount of splash damage, which makes it effective for wiping out groups of Bonedeth troops.
• Yarida can equip up to six Set Skills, the most out of any class in the game. This makes Yarida highly customizable, especially if he is an Uberhero and the Taterazay and Yumiyacha class trees have been unlocked.
• Developing Piekron alongside Yarida allows the former's Class Skills to be inherited by the latter, allowing Yarida to summon lightning strikes with each spear toss, unlike Piekron, who must charge before every attack.
• Equipping a spear with a high attack speed can help quickly develop Yarida's Class Skills.

Trivia

• Yarida is one of the few Uberhero classes that only has one type of weapon.
• Yarida is also the only basic class that can only equip one weapon. Yumiyacha can equip 2 weapons, and Taterazay can equip 3, one of them being, oddly, a spear.
• Yarida, along with Piekron, has the lowest health of all spear-based Uberheroes.
• Yarida's most common element is stab, although Repel Spear has Strike.
• If you manage to use the jump command while Yarida is jumping in his Hero Mode, he'll go even higher due to the combined height. This also works if Yarida is affected by knockback.
• Although Ton as Yarida can be seen with a Pointidon pike on the American cover of the game, Yarida can never equip pikes in-game without using glitches.
• All of Yarida's set skills and class skills (including the ones inherited from Piekron) have the word "spear" in them
