Yvonne

endgame dps

dpsstrikersingle_target

Yvonne is rated S tier due to her exceptional single-target burst damage, especially through her Ultimate. She excels in RE-Crisis boss fights and can trivialize content with high investment. Her self-buffing and Solidification mechanics make her a top-tier striker.

This endgame build maximizes Yvonne's single-target burst potential by stacking Cryo DMG, Critical Rate, and Intellect. Artzy Tyrannical is the best-in-slot weapon, with Navigator as a strong alternative. The MI Security gear set synergizes with her crit-heavy playstyle, and the full set bonus boosts ATK significantly during her Ultimate window. Prioritize upgrading her Ultimate and Basic Attacks first.

Insights

Core Mechanics

Yvonne's kit revolves around Solidification, a status that boosts her damage. Her Battle Skill forcibly applies Solidification on enemies with Cryo or Nature Infliction.
Her Ultimate Cryoblasting Pistolier enhances Basic Attacks, granting stacking Critical Rate and Critical DMG buffs. The final attack deals massive Cryo DMG and consumes Solidification for extra damage.
The Combo Skill Flashfreezer υ37 deploys a turret that pulls enemies and re-applies Solidification, enabling consistent uptime on her damage modifiers.

Scaling

Yvonne scales heavily with Intellect, Critical Rate, and Cryo DMG. Her damage increases significantly with investment in these stats.
She is best as a Controlled Operator, relying on team support for debuffs and energy generation to maximize her Ultimate uptime.
Early game, she performs well with budget gear, but her true potential unlocks in lategame with optimized stats and set bonuses.

Team Role

Yvonne functions as the primary single-target burst DPS in a team. She benefits from allies who can apply Cryo or Nature Infliction to enable her Solidification mechanic. Support operators that provide Attack buffs, energy regeneration, or enemy debuffs (e.g., Cryo RES down) greatly enhance her damage. She is typically played on-field as the Controlled Operator, weaving Basic Attacks during her Ultimate. Her combos with Freeze or Corrosion reactions can further amplify team damage.

Explanation

Artzy Tyrannical is chosen because its Cryo DMG buff after critical hits synergizes with Yvonne's high crit rate from gear and her Ultimate's stacking mechanic.

Navigator is a solid battle pass alternative that provides Cryo DMG and crit rate when Solidification is applied, which Yvonne does frequently.

MI Security set gives +5% crit rate and stacking ATK on crits, which Yvonne can maintain during her enhanced Basic Attacks. The individual pieces also provide Intellect and Basic Attack DMG.

Notes

For an off-piece, consider Pulser Labs Gloves for higher Cryo DMG, but the full MI Security set provides consistent ATK stacking.
Use Artzy Tyrannical's effect after a critical hit to stack Cryo DMG; it aligns perfectly with her Ultimate's rapid attacks.
