[Master of the Cage] Yama
Rankings
S
A+
Survivability is acceptable once he uses the first Special Move.
His kit is not bad, with DEF, Physical Resistance and Energy Decrease, but his grouping feels weak.
Overall, he is a good unit, but not a worthwhile investment.
Myeongwol rework works really well on Yama, but his survivability decreases a lot, it will require better team building.

Notes
Myeongwol is best in slot only if Yama can get to the first Special Move safely, but he's so squishy that it's not always an easy feat to achieve.
Bari is the best option when it comes to helping Yama to survive until that first Special Move.
