Piekron (パイケロン) is a Nyontama Yaripon Uberhero first introduced in Patapon 3. Like Yarida, Piekron attacks by throwing spears but is also equipped with shield, providing more defense. He balances offence and defense for a reliable all-round unit. As an Uberhero, Piekron can act as a support unit with his Uberhero mode.
Appearance
Piekron initially sports a pale green mask in the form of a Nyontama Rarepon and wears an orange cape by default.
As Piekron evolves, his mask loses the Nyontama tail and gains additional green colors, resembling a Gekoroth. Finally, it turns a deep dark green with notable spines, resembling a Gekonronpa.
Acquisition
Piekron is at level 5 when unlocked, which is when Yarida reaches level 5.
Equipment
Piekron can be equipped with:
- Helms by default.
- Spears and Shields by default.
- Lances at level 7.
- Daggers at level 12.
Uberhero Mode: Concentrate
- "Long-lasting boost for attack power of entire team. Use combo to boost effect. ~ Combines with other hero skills ~ "
- Activate:
- Combo:
During Concentrate, Piekron will meditate intensely, bolstering all allied damage, including his own, for a short period of time. Piekron becomes completely immobile while this is active. The longer Piekron meditates, the higher the attack multiplier increases, maxing out at 2x damage.
With Charibasa's Set Skills, Team Aid 1 and 2, this multiplier can be further increased to 3.5x damage. Reactivating Concentration will reset the multiplier and timer. Concentrates damage boost stacks with other Piekrons.
Class Skills
As with all Class Skills, each skill requires 100,000 experience to master. The amount of experience gained is dependent on the skill. Piekron's Class Skills will be inherited by Yarida.

Strategy
- Piekron is quite similar in playstyle to Yarida. Those familiar with Yarida will be able to adjust to Piekron easily. However, Piekron's playstyle is more defense/support based, as he throws his spears at a downward angle towards closer enemies.
- The equipment Piekron can use is arguably some of the most unique out of the whole Spear Class Tree; He is the only Spear Class who can equip Daggers. He can also equip shields like Charibasa and Kibadda.
- Be wary that, despite carrying a shield, Piekron gets no innate defense and must rely on equipment.
- Piekron's Hero Mode, which can reach a maximum of x2 damage, can actually reach x2.5 if he equips Charibasa's "Team Aid 1" Set Skill, x3.0 if he equips Charibasa's "Team Aid 2" Set Skill, and x3.5 if he equips Charibasa's "Team Aid 1" and "Team Aid 2" Set Skills.
- Good classes to level up alongside Piekron are Yarida and Taterazay. The former provides his "X Spears" abilities, allowing Piekron to throw more spears with a single attack, and the latter provides his "Energy Field" abilities, giving Piekron greater defense against melee attacks.
- Since Piekron's class skills require rain to activate, equipping Wooyari's Set Skills, Fish in Pond and Big Fish in Pond, can help bolster his stats further.

Trivia
- Piekron is the only Uberhero to wield a Unique Weapon (Galapagos Shield) in the Patapon 3 Tips instead of their default weapons.
- Piekron, along with Yarida, has the lowest health of all spear based Uberheroes.
- Despite the Spear Boom Class Skill description about a "lightning strikes wherever the spear lands", Piekron may throw Daggers to deal the same effect.
- Piekron and Myamsar are similar in a way that both can equip Daggers, and how their Hero Modes are activated using the PON CHAKA drum command.
- Piekron, and Taterazay are the only heroes in the game with Hero Modes that affect teammates in a global range.
- During online play against Dark Heroes, it is recommended to unequip 'Rain Dance', as Dark Heroes are unaffected by the lighting caused by Spear BOOM. From the viewpoint of the Dark Heroes, lightning strikes will not appear, nor will they take any damage from it. It is unknown if this is a glitch or intentional, as a similar glitch happens to Charibasa.
