Explanation
Artzy Tyrannical is chosen for its high base stats and essence that boost Fracture, Crit Rate, and Intellect, all of which Yvonne scales with.
Navigator is a solid alternative but provides fewer stats, while Wedge and Howling Guard are budget options that still offer relevant bonuses.
The MI Security set maximizes Yvonne's crit potential and ATK, and the set bonus is easily triggered by her multi-hit Basic Attacks.
Notes
- For an off-piece, consider replacing the gloves with Pulser Labs Gloves for additional Cryo DMG and Intellect.
- The MI Security set grants 5% Crit Rate and stacking ATK on crit, synergizing perfectly with Yvonne's rapid attacks during her Ultimate.

Build Insights
Yvonne is best played as the Controlled Operator, focusing on single-target burst damage. She excels when paired with allies that apply Cryo or Nature Infliction to enable Solidify, and supports that buff her Cryo DMG or Crit stats. Her optimal rotation involves using her Battle Skill to Solidify, then triggering her Combo Skill for additional damage and energy, followed by her Ultimate for massive sustained DPS. She is a top choice for boss fights and RE-Crisis content.
Core Mechanics
- Yvonne's Ultimate Cryoblasting Pistolier enhances her Basic Attacks, stacking Crit Rate and Crit DMG.
- Her Battle Skill Brr-Brr-Bomb β applies Solidify to enemies with Cryo or Nature Infliction, enabling further synergies.
- The Combo Skill Flashfreezer υ37 deploys a turret that pulls enemies and re-applies Solidify.
Scaling
- Scales heavily with Intellect, Crit stats, and Cryo DMG. Basic Attack DMG bonuses also significantly boost her output.
- Her damage output spikes during her Ultimate window, requiring proper setup with Solidify and stagger.
- Team dependency is moderate; she performs best with buffers who boost Cryo DMG or apply debuffs.
Character Notes
Yvonne is a 6-star Cryo Striker who excels as a single-target DPS. Her kit revolves around applying Solidify to enemies and then unleashing powerful enhanced Basic Attacks via her Ultimate. She is a top-tier character for burst damage and is highly effective against bosses, especially when paired with support units that amplify Cryo or apply debuffs.
Playstyle
- Act as the Controlled Operator to maximize her damage output.
