Yukari Character Mod

Adds Yukari Yakumo, the Youkai of Boundaries as a playable character.

Overview

• Colors: White / Black
• Cards: 77
• Act 1 boss planned for a future update

While searching the true culprit, you will inevitably meet Yukari a handful of times. She can help you relax or prepare for upcoming battles.

Fantasia Because Upgraded cards are overrated. Whenever a card receives Fantasia during combat, if it is not Upgraded, the card becomes Upgraded. But if the card is already Upgraded, it will return to its un-Upgraded state. Many of Yukari cards have effects that can vary slightly depending on whether they are Upgraded or not, especially "and" cards which can become drastically different.

Life-loss Everything in life has a price. As long as one's life total is above 0, one can always use it as a resource to draw power from. And this is exactly what Yukari thought of, so do not be afraid of doing so as well. Quite a lot of her cards have life costs, and similarly some of them will react to these effects.

Exile The best place to store junk. Normally difficult to access for most, this is child's play for Yukari! Tons of her cards play around it, between adding them to Exile, returning them to the hand and more. These are within a Gap's reach, unlike the crappy cards naturally discarded at the end of each turn...

Additional Notes

All the non-Starter cards are hidden by default to give a proper vanilla experience in discovering them all in-game. Shall you wish to reveal them all, you can use the LostBranchCompanion mod made by Cyaneko.

Feel free to give me feedbacks on your thoughts and experience: You can contact me on the LBoL Discord or directly through private messages.
