The Yomomute Style is a distinct character Style in Volleyball Legends, classified with Legendary rarity (red indicator). It is inspired by the Haikyuu!! character Taketora Yamamoto, known for his power and spirit. In-game, Yomomute translates this into a highly specialized defensive role, excelling at receiving hits but severely lacking in other areas.
- Rarity: Legendary (2% base spin chance)
- Inspiration: Taketora Yamamoto (Haikyuu!!)
- Primary Roles: Defensive Specialist / Receiver
Yomomute features one of the most polarized stat distributions among Legendary styles, making it exceptional defensively but very limited otherwise:
- Block: 5 (Moderate)
- Jump: 5 (Moderate)
- Speed: 5 (Moderate)
- Bump: 10 (Maximum Proficiency) – Its defining strength, perfect for receiving.
- Serve: 2 (Very Low)
- Spike: 7 (Moderate) – Usable, but not a primary offensive tool.
- Dive: 9 (Excellent) – Complements the high Bump for superb defense.
- Set: 3 (Very Low)
Analysis: Yomomute is unparalleled in Bump (10) and Dive (9), making it arguably the best Style for pure receiving and digging. However, its Very Low Serve (2) and Set (3) make it a liability in those roles. Moderate Speed, Block, and Jump mean it doesn’t offer advantages there, and its Spike is only average compared to dedicated attackers.
Gameplay Role
Yomomute’s stats dictate a highly specific role on the court:
- Primary Role: Defensive Specialist / Receiver. Its main job is to consistently receive opponent serves and spikes with its Max Bump stat and make difficult saves with its Excellent Dive.
Using Yomomute effectively, or playing alongside one, requires adapting to its highly specialized nature:
- Maximize Bump/Dive: As the Yomomute player, focus entirely on positioning yourself to receive attacks. Trust your high stats to handle powerful hits and make difficult saves. Your primary goal is a clean first touch to keep the rally going.
- Team Must Compensate: Teammates need to understand Yomomute cannot reliably Serve or Set. Other players must take responsibility for these actions. The team should funnel receives towards players with better setting styles.
- Manage Average Speed: The moderate Speed (5) means anticipation is key. Predict where attacks are likely to go rather than relying on raw speed to react. Good positioning minimizes the impact of average mobility.
- Opportunistic Spikes: While not its strength, the moderate Spike (7) can be used if a perfect opportunity arises, but it should not be the focus. Prioritize the defensive role.
- Communication: Clear communication helps teammates know that the Yomomute player will focus on digs, allowing others to prepare for the subsequent set and spike.
How to Get Yomomute Style
Acquiring the Yomomute Style follows the standard procedure for Legendary items:
- Spinning (2% Chance): Obtained via the random Style spin system with a base 2% probability.
- Lucky Spins: Using Lucky Spins (from Codes, Season Pass, etc.) improves chances for Legendary styles like Yomomute by removing Common styles from the pool.
- Codes: Monitor official channels (Discord, Twitter) for redeemable codes which frequently grant Yen or Lucky Spins. Requires Level 5+.
- Tier: Consistently placed in B-Tier across various community analyses. This reflects its hyper-specialization; while elite at receiving, its severe weaknesses in crucial areas like Serving, Setting, and Speed limit its overall impact compared to more versatile or offensively powerful styles.
- Comparisons:
- Its Legendary rarity (2% chance) indicates scarcity, but doesn’t guarantee top-tier performance like S-Tier Godly/Secret styles (Oigawa, Butoku, Sanu, etc.) which offer broader impact.
- Compared to other defensive options like Yabu (Legendary) or Nichonayo (Rare), Yomomute offers the absolute best Bump stat, but potentially lower Speed or net presence (Block/Jump).
- Niche Value: Yomomute proves that Legendary rarity doesn’t always equal S-Tier dominance. It holds value for players dedicated purely to the receiver role, but its lack of versatility keeps it out of the highest meta tiers.
Conclusion
The Yomomute Style is a Legendary rarity Style in Volleyball Legends, offering unmatched proficiency in Bump and Dive for exceptional defensive receiving. Inspired by Taketora Yamamoto, it is the ultimate specialist for players who want to focus purely on digging opponent attacks. However, this comes at the cost of critically low Serve and Set stats, and only average Speed, requiring significant team compensation. Its consistent B-Tier ranking reflects this niche role; while valuable for its specific purpose, its lack of versatility prevents it from reaching the top meta tiers. Acquiring Yomomute (2% spin chance) provides a unique defensive tool, best utilized in coordinated teams that can play around its extreme strengths and weaknesses.
