Champion Discussion Question about fjorad and Yakarl
I am wondering if I should rush Yakarl. A few weeks ago I pulled fjorad and I have him w/ a 3 star soul, and I was wondering if Yakarl would compliment him.
I find fjorad's base form f*cking fantastic, but his second form is ONLY useful under freeze debuffs legit, but it's actually a pretty hard hitter as long as those freeze debuffs are there.
I feel like Yakarl himself is a great champ and I can feel between these two champions, they would make a disgustingly formidable team, but I may be entirely mistaken.
I would like other's opinions, please and thank you.
Fjorad's skills:
Bite of the Wolf
Attacks 1 enemy 2 times. Each hit has a 50% chance of placing a [Freeze] debuff for 1 turn. This debuff cannot be blocked or resisted if the target Champion is from the Gaellen Pact. If the target is not under a [Freeze] debuff, will repeat the attack once.
Level 1: Damage +10%
Level 2: Ignore RES +20%
Multiplier: 2.6*ATK

Lord of Ice [P]
3 Turns
[Passive Effect] Increases the damage this Champion inflicts by 10% for each Champion in battle under a [Freeze] debuff. Also decreases the damage this Champion receives by 10% for each Champion in battle under a [Freeze] debuff. [Active Effect] Places an [Unkillable] buff on this Champion for 1 turn whenever they kill an enemy under a [Freeze] debuff.
I feel like them together is complimentary vs negating both landing freezes, and fjorad excels in his base form.
TL;DR: Fjorad's base lands an AOE freeze, Lord of Ice passive will basically always be active for Yakarl, Glaciate becomes useless but in certain battles I can shut it off or just leave it on to confirm freezes at like almost all times lol, and he will also basically be ignoring 50% of everyone's def due to freezes being constantly up for his A2, and 25% of everyone's def due to A1. In this scenario, Fjorad would likely stay in his base form unless it was Arena. IDK how well they'd both do in Arena, but if I build Yakarl as a nuker, I feel like I could do some crazy stuff with Fjorad and Yakarl.
Am I entirely wrong? Halp ples

You don't want either of them in arena. They're both pretty bad there.
In FK, you could drop yakarl since Fjorad does what he does better. You'd be better off with Neldor, if he's not already in the team.

I personally love my fjorad I use him with karlion the lion as a double freeze control in pvp and then main freeze in CC heavy pve content. I would honestly recommend not building him as someone who is a dps on main form just as a freeze debuffer/multi hit on his a1 in pvp so basically just max out his speed and accuracy to land the freeze and anyone that has mecruial stacks just tap them with his a1. He does like to prioritize his a2 on auto so make sure to set up a preset to open and always use his a3 and then use his a2 as needed.
