Guardians Of The Galaxy's Yondu Joins Marvel Contest Of Champions

Peter Quill's father figure and sometimes-nemesis Yondu has joined the cast of Kabam's Marvel Contest of Champions. And no, he doesn't eat anyone — at least not yet.

Yondu's description from the official Kabam page for MCOC reads:

"Centaurian scoundrel Yondu Udonta may not seem like much of a threat at first glance, but when you hear a whistle and his deadly Yaka Arrow comes out to play it's not advisable to make any rash decisions. Leader of the Ravagers and mentor to Star-Lord, Yondu is a stickler for honor, but not above breaking a rule or ten to get what he wants."

Which is a pretty accurate, if somewhat tame, description for the anti-hero.

His stats and abilities are rather impressive, given the recent changes Marvel Contest of Champions has undergone. His stats detailed below are based on 4 Star, Rank 5, Level 50, Signature Level 99 status.

• Health: 15736
• Attack: 1159
• Max PI:
  • Without Signature: 3562
  • With Signature (99): 4240

Basic Abilities: Bleed, Armor Break, Heal Block, Precision

Yaka Arrow Hits:

• 25% chance to poke holes in fleshy targets, making them Bleed for 1159 Damage over 7 seconds.
• If the target is immune to Bleed, they suffer a -222 Armor Break for 7 seconds instead.
• +424 Armor and Block Penetration
• The strength and precision of Yondu's Yaka Arrow allow it to trigger Critical Hits and Abilities through an enemy Block.

All Attacks:

• Yondu has a 25% chance to steal the target's Armor, which he might be able to trade for Units later.
• Generate 10% less Power in the target for each Debuff they suffer from. Max: -50%.

Heavy Attack:

• +50% Offensive Ability Accuracy for this attack.

And his Signature Ability, Centaurian Archery, is nothing to sneeze at either: Yondu's high-octave vocal range gives him precise control over his yaka arrows. Enemies activating a Special Attack suffer Weakness for each Debuff effect they're suffering from at the time of the activation, reducing Attack by 30% for 5 seconds.
