The Formtion Effect

Tribal Cousins Fight Better Together!

If you place two Yo-kai of the same tribe next to each other in
your Yo-kai Wheel’s front line, the pairing can trigger a stat-boosting Formation Effect. Line up three tribemates across the top for an even more powerful effect!

No Benefit When Down

Even if members of the same Yo-kai tribe are lined up onscreen, the Formation Effect isn’t triggered unless they’re actually participating in battle. The effect is lost if tribal cousins are down.
