Yvonne

endgame dps

dpscryosingle_targetstriker

Yvonne is one of the highest single-target damage dealers in Arknights: Endfield. Her ultimate-boosted basic attacks and self-applied critical buffs make her extremely strong against bosses, especially at high investment. She needs team support to consistently apply Cryo Infliction and Solidification, but when supported she can trivialize difficult RE-Crisis encounters.

This endgame build focuses on maximizing Yvonne's single-target burst through her Ultimate. Artzy Tyrannical provides the ideal stat mix of Fracture, Critical Rate, and Intellect, while MI Security's Crit-based ATK stacking synergy turns her rapid-fire enhanced Basic Attacks into sustained high damage. The set bonus is easy to maintain because Yvonne constantly crits during her ultimate window, making this the strongest setup for boss fights.

Insights

Core Mechanics

Battle Skill Brr-Brr-Bomb β consumes Cryo or Nature Infliction stacks to forcibly apply Solidification and grants extra Ultimate Energy based on stacks consumed.
Combo Skill Flashfreezer υ37 triggers after a Final Strike on a Solidified enemy, deploying Frost-e-Bytee to pull enemies, deal periodic Cryo DMG, and reapply Solidification.
Ultimate Cryoblasting Pistolier makes Yvonne the Controlled Operator, enhancing Basic Attacks, stacking Critical Rate up to 10 stacks, and granting Critical DMG at max stacks. The final enhanced attack becomes a massive Final Strike.

Scaling

Yvonne scales very strongly with Intellect, Critical Rate, Critical DMG, Cryo DMG, and Basic Attack DMG.
Her damage is heavily tied to Ultimate uptime and her team's ability to apply Cryo or Nature Infliction, so she becomes much stronger with proper composition and late-game gear.
At high investment, her multipliers and self-buffs make her one of the best boss-killers in the game, but early game she is more reliant on setup.

Team Role

Yvonne is best used as the primary Controlled Operator in a single-target boss-kill composition. She wants teammates that can reliably apply Cryo Infliction so her Battle Skill can Solidify enemies and refund Ultimate Energy. In addition, supports that buff Cryo DMG or apply Arts-related debuffs greatly increase her burst potential. Her Combo Skill's Frost-e-Bytee can group enemies, but her real role is focusing down priority targets during her Ultimate window while the team keeps enemies Staggered and Solidified.

Explanation

Artzy Tyrannical is chosen because its Fracture effect and Critical Rate/Intellect bonuses directly amplify Yvonne's main damage sources.

MI Security is recommended because the 2-piece Crit Rate boost and the on-crit ATK stacking effect have high uptime during her Ultimate, where she fires many Basic Attacks.

At max stacks, the MI Security set grants an extra Crit Rate boost, further stabilizing her Crit output against bosses.

Navigator is usable if you already have it from the Battle Pass, while Wedge and Howling Guard serve as cheaper alternatives during progression.

Notes

Artzy Tyrannical is the best-in-slot weapon because it matches Yvonne's core stats: Fracture, Critical Rate, and Intellect.
The MI Security set gives Critical Rate plus stacking ATK on critical hits, which works perfectly with Yvonne's rapid Basic Attacks during her Ultimate.
If you have the Battle Pass, Navigator is a good secondary choice, though it provides fewer raw stats than Artzy Tyrannical.
Wedge and Howling Guard are more accessible fallbacks when you don't have the premium weapons yet.
