A Yumipon

Yumipon[]

Yumipons are bow-wielding Patapons who believe that offense is the best defense. These Patapon have one of the largest attack range in the games (wind can increase or decrease the range of their attack, depending on which way it is blowing) and are always placed in the back of your army. While they are extremely effective and can rain down arrows on enemies from afar, they are vulnerable to fire. While in Fever, they fire three arrows at once. A full Yumipon squad consists of 6 Yumipons. "Yumi" means "bow" (弓) in Japanese

Arrows

A group of Yumipons.

The Yumipons have one of the longest range in the Patapon Army, and can be used to execute preliminary attacks. In Fever mode, they release 3 rapid shots to deal damage to a wide area.

Yumipon's memory

Yumipons have low HP and are weak against fire; their small projectiles are also greatly affected by the wind. Despite their weaknesses, they're still incredibly powerful; use them as the main back-rank units of the Patapon Army.

Acquisitions[]

Patapon[]

Yumipons can be created by getting Yumipon's Memory from the mission Crack the Zigoton Fort! After that, you can create Yumipons at Mater by using Wood and Ore.

Patapon 2[]

Clear Karmen Usso Forest Fortress to meet Don the Yumipon and obtain Yumipon's Memory. You can create more by using Fangs and Bones after retrieving Mater's Sprout. Later evolutions will need Ore and Wood.

Patapon 3[]

Superhero Yumipon

Yumiyacha.

Yumiyacha[]

Choose from the beginning or level up Taterazay/Yarida to level 15.

Alosson[]

Level up Yumiyacha to level 7.

Abilities[]

Fever Mode[]

In Fever, the Yumipons shoot 3 arrows, tripling their already amplified damage output. This is very useful against bosses when you have Moriussoo Yumipons; combining Moriussoo's natural 205% Stagger ratio with the Yumipons' triple attack will be devastating. Any attack speed more than 4 seconds will nullify this advantage.

ChakaChaka[]

The Yumipons will fire their arrows at a shorter range, capable of hurting some front-line units.

PonChaka~PonPon[]

Same as Fever Mode, but increases damage output.

Hero Modes[]

Broken Arrow - Patapon 2[]

Yumipon Hero Mode

Broken Arrow

Your Hero will shoot out glowing yellow arrows that can pierce through enemies and buildings. Unlike other unit that only attack twice in one PonPon song, regardless of how low attack speed is, this attack can shoot out as many arrows as the stats say, depending on the Hero's attack speed. If your Hero has an extremely low attack speed (as a level 10 Chikurinchi Rarepon, for instance), he can easily fire at least one arrow per tenth of a second. With good equipment, the Yumipon Hero will literally and violently perforate everything.

Alosson's and Yumiyacha's hero modes.

Meteor Arrow - Yumiyacha[]

Yumiyacha will shoot multiple large arrows surrounded by a red aura into the air. The arrows will then rain down on enemies like meteors; the number of arrows Yumiyacha fires depends on his Class Skills (Quickshot 1~6). The more he upgrades these Class Skills, the more arrows he'll fire.

Arrow Shower - Alosson[]

Alosson's Hero mode is similar to Broken Arrow, except he fires blue arrows that will explode on impact, and a lot faster. With certain equipment, Class Skills and Set Skills, Alosson can reach an extremely low attack speed of 0.07 seconds, allowing extremely fast attacks.

Eagle Eye[]

Yumipons have the longest attack range out of the whole army, so their angry eyes can warn you that danger is coming. In Patapon 3, Yumiyacha and Alosson lose this ability.

Komu Yumipons[]

  • Lutecci: "I want to grow up, pon!" He goes out on the battlefield to earn Ka-ching. He thinks he's not strong enough but he'll give it all he's got!

  • Hassh: He loves firing of his bow. He loves it even more than three meals a day! He spends all his day at the target range, and neglects the rhythms.

  • Markyu: With his strong body, he can take down any prey, and he has the accuracy to match his strength. He does credit to his clan.

Legend[]

"This agile warrior once shot down three hundred hawks with a single arrow."

Trivia[]

  • Yumipons can't hit a target at point blank range.
  • Yumipons are the most frail unit in Patapon, and the second most frail unit in Patapon 2, only ahead of Mahopons.
  • Yumiyacha and Alosson are also very frail at the start in Patapon 3, but by leveling up, they will become much more ideal to use.
  • The Yumipon Hero in Patapon 2 had no unlimited time frames, meaning that it is limited to how many arrows it can fire during Hero Mode, meaning the fastest attack speed of 0.02s is not performed; unlike Alosson, who has unlimited time frames and can fire as many arrows as he can based on his attack speed.
