Attitude Guide

This page explains Yo-kai attitudes and how they affect a Yo-kai's stats and performance in battle.

Overview

A Yo-kai's attitude consists of two words. The first word determines how frequently that Yo-kai will loaf in battle. The second word determines what type of action the Yo-kai will do most often in battle, and also determines the Yo-kai's stat increases.

The first word can't be changed, but the second word can be changed by using a book on the Yo-kai. However, some types of Yo-kai can't be changed to certain attitudes. For example, if a Yo-kai's Inspirit does damage, it can't become Helpful or Devoted.
