Is Yondu good?
Yondu applies Heal Block and strips Prowess from opponents, and he carries a heavy debuff load on both sides of the fight that the Inequity mastery turns into extra tankiness. Playing him aggressively to stack debuffs while running Collar Tech gives him strong power control over the match.
Purify counters him hard, and he's punished by Rupture and Armor Break, which is why he sits at D despite the utility.
Pairs well with: 
Rocket Raccoon; 
Ronan; 
Beast; 
Nightcrawler; 
Star-Lord; 
Crossbones.

Skills
6Yaka Arrow
PassiveYondu's Yaka Arrow attacks are non-contact, have 916.67 Armor and Block Penetration, as well as the following: 100% chance to inflict a Rupture Debuff dealing 12085.2 Physical Damage over 7 seconds. Max stacks: 5. If the Opponent has 4 or more unique Buffs, this potency is reduced by half. If these Ruptures are prevented by Immunity, inflict a 485.29 Armor Break Debuff for 9 seconds. The strength and precision of Yondu’s Yaka Arrow allows it to trigger Critical Hits and personal Abilities through the Opponent’s Block. Yondu now has the ability to steal his opponent’s Prowess Effects and/or Armor Up Buffs and convert them into Armor Up Buffs for himself. This should come in handy against annoying Mutant defenders such as Sauron and Storm (Pyramid X).
