Yo-ki Element (Japanese: 妖気 Yōki) is a new mechanic in Yo-kai Watch 4, which allows Yo-kai Watch Masters to join their Yo-kai friends in battles.
Basics[]
There can only be one Master on the battlefield at any time. Each Master has different abilities to help their Yo-kai friends in battle. All of their skills require YP to use, including attacking. Like in Yo-kai Watch Blasters, they have a stamina gauge and a chargeable ability akin to a Soultimate. The in-battle Master can be swapped out of battle automatically with an in-game prompt or manually by Stopwatching.
Skill tree[]

Like most RPG games, Yo-ki utilizes a skill tree system to upgrade the Yo-kai Watch Masters and their abilities. On level-up, the Masters will gain Skill Points, which can be allocated to the skill tree. They can unlock passive skills, such as health regeneration while absorbing YP, upgrade already unlocked skills, or provide boosts to stats.
Weapons[]
Each Master has a unique weapon they fight with. To use these weapons, YP is consumed. These attacks can be charged up to deal more damage by holding down the attack button.
"Soultimates"[]
Each Master can use an ability similar to a Soultimate move. They can range from buffing all allies, to high damage attacks, and to total transformations. Some Masters unlock a second ability as the story goes on, allowing them two abilities they can choose from.
For characters with two "Soultimates," the format is "Initial Ability/Unlockable Ability."
- Nate: Boosts the Strength and Spirit of all allies/High-damage explosive attack that deals either physical or spiritual damage
- Katie: Fully heals all allies/High-damage explosive attack that deals either physical or spiritual damage
- Summer: Boosts the Defense and Spiritual Defense of all allies/Channels the power of Juno, changing Summer's abilities for a limited time
- Cole: Uses the Sacred Armory to become one of the Sword Bearers, changing Cole's abilities for a limited time
- Bruno: Summons a Celestial for a high-power elemental attack (exception is Kyryn, who heals all allies)
- Jack: Boosts the Speed of all allies/Summons Gunshin Susanoo for a high-power physical attack
YP Absorb[]
This ability absorbs YP, which is used for attacks and skills. Can be upgraded to restore more YP faster.
YP Send[]
Send YP to your Yo-kai friends, allowing them to use their special moves quicker (Yo-kai regenerate YP slowly). Can be upgraded to reach all 3 Yo-kai at once.
Trivia[]
- In Yo-kai Watch games preceding Yo-kai Watch 4, Yo-ki is not a combat mechanic and is involved with inspiritments. It is usually translated as "aura."
- When Cole and Summer transform into a Sword Bearer and Juno, respectively, they lose the ability to absorb YP. However, they will slowly regenerate YP, similar to Yo-kai.
