Build Notes
Rank #4
This endgame build turns Fluorite into a reliable off-field sub-DPS who amplifies team damage through additional Infliction stacks. The MI Security set and Wedge weapon provide a strong foundation of critical-based damage and Arts DMG bonuses. Alternative weapons like Navigator offer conditional boosts in dedicated Cryo/Nature teams, while OBJ Velocitous serves as an excellent F2P option. Focus on maintaining her Combo Skill’s uptime by coordinating with allies who can maintain the required Infliction stacks.
Wedge is the top pick for its unconditional Arts DMG boost and bonus Critical Rate, both of which directly increase Fluorite's personal damage.
The MI Security set provides a stacking ATK buff on critical hits and additional Critical Rate, synergizing perfectly with her kit that relies on frequent hits to trigger effects.
Navigator becomes a solid alternative in teams focused on Cryo/Nature reactions, offering matching damage bonuses and extra Crit when those reactions occur.
OBJ Velocitous is a strong budget choice that boosts Nature DMG after consuming Infliction and improves Ultimate uptime.
- Prioritizes raising Intellect and Critical Rate to maximize personal DPS.
- Free Giveaway is her key utility; manage its long cooldown carefully and align with teammates' Infliction applications.
Rank #4
Tangtang’s endgame sub‑DPS build revolves around the Bonekrusha set and Brigand’s Calling to maximize the damage of her Waterspout generation. The Bonekrusha set gives a large Battle Skill DMG boost after casting her Combo Skill, which directly enhances her core rotation: spawn a Whirlpool with River, To Me!, then cast IMA WAVERIDAAH! to convert it into a debuffing Waterspout. With Brigand’s Calling, each Battle Skill also debuffs enemies to take more Arts damage, turning Tangtang into a potent hybrid who amplifies the entire team’s output while dealing significant Cryo AoE damage herself. The build prioritizes Agility for her main stat scaling and Cryo DMG for her elemental attacks.
Brigand’s Calling is the premier choice because it simultaneously buffs her own Cryo damage and amplifies the team’s Arts damage via its unique Susceptibility on‑hit effect, aligning with her dual debuff/damage identity.
The Bonekrusha gear set was selected because its 2‑piece ATK increase and the Combo → Battle Skill damage boost stack seamlessly with her natural playstyle, pushing her burst damage to its ceiling.
Alternative weapons like Home Longing focus more on raw Cryo and Nature DMG boosts, while Opus: The Living offers easy access to Arts DMG and ATK buffs but trades away the extra team debuff.
- This build centres on the Bonekrusha set’s effect: after using her Combo Skill, the next Battle Skill deals massive bonus damage, perfectly matching her Whirlpool → Waterspout rotation.
- The Brigand’s Calling handcannon further bolsters her Cryo output and applies a team‑wide Arts DMG Taken debuff, cementing her sub‑DPS role.
Rank #4
This build maximizes Yvonne’s single‑target burst by stacking Cryo DMG, Crit stats, and Intellect. With Artzy Tyrannical, every critical hit from a skill further boosts her Cryo output. MI Security complements this by raising Basic Attack DMG and granting a stacking ATK/Crit Rate buff when she scores criticals. Together, they allow her to shred bosses during Ultimate windows, especially when enemies are Solidified.
Artzy Tyrannical is the best‐in‐slot because it directly pumps Cryo DMG and grants stacks on crit—exactly what her ultimate does.
Navigator is a strong battle pass option, giving Cryo DMG and extra crit when Solidification is applied; however, it has less overall stats.
Wedge is a solid 5★ alternative that still boosts Intellect, Crit Rate, and Arts DMG for Solidification setups.
MI Security gear provides the perfect mix of Basic Attack DMG Bonus, Crit Rate, and ATK%, all of which feed into her ultimate’s sustained damage.
The set’s 4‐piece effect grants stacking ATK and an additional 5% Crit Rate at max stacks, which is trivially maintained during her ultimate.
- Pair with Pulser Labs Gloves as an off‐piece for an extra Cryo DMG boost if you can spare the set bonus.
- MI Security set provides stacking ATK% and Crit Rate after critical hits, which aligns perfectly with her ultimate’s rapid fire.
Rank #4
This early‑game setup focuses on budget weapons and accessible gear that still enhance Yvonne’s main scaling sources: Intellect, Arts DMG, and Crit Rate. Wedge provides a balanced stat stick, while Mordvolt Insulation grants a solid Intellect boost and conditional Arts DMG, letting her contribute meaningfully until you can farm her optimal endgame pieces.
Wedge is the best accessible weapon early on, raising Intellect, Crit Rate, and Arts DMG—all stats Yvonne needs to get going.
Howling Guard is an okay fallback: it gives Intellect and ATK%, but its base stats are lower and it lacks crit synergy.
The Mordvolt Insulation set is easy to farm and directly buffs her main stat (Intellect) while providing additional Arts DMG when HP is high.
- Upgrade to MI Security and Artzy Tyrannical as soon as you reach endgame.
- Mordvolt Insulation gives a flat +50 Intellect and conditional Arts DMG, which boosts both her skill and combo damage.
