Advanced Builds

S
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.
endgamedpsburstsingle_targetcryoendgame
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.

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.
early gamedpsbeginnerf2pearly_game
This early game build uses easily obtainable gear to boost Yvonne's damage. Wedge provides a solid stat stick for Arts DMG and crit rate, while Mordvolt Insulation increases her Intellect and Arts DMG. It is a cost-effective setup for progressing through the first region, and can later be replaced by the MI Security set for endgame content.

Explanation

Wedge is a 4-star weapon that grants Arts DMG and crit rate, boosting Yvonne's early damage without requiring high investment.
Mordvolt Insulation set gives flat Intellect (+50) and conditional Arts DMG when HP is high, which is easy to maintain in early content.
The set pieces offer Intellect, Cryo DMG, and crit rate substats, aligning with Yvonne's scaling needs.

Notes

  • This build is for levels 15-30 and helps transition into Wuling. Upgrade gradually to MI Security set in midgame.
  • Wedge provides Arts DMG and crit rate, which are universal stats for Yvonne. Howling Guard is a budget option if Wedge is unavailable.

Build Insights

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.
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.

Character Notes

Yvonne is a 6-star Cryo Striker who specializes in high single-target burst damage via her Ultimate. She relies on applying Solidification to amplify her attacks and can chain her Combo Skill for additional crowd control. Her flashy personality matches her combat style—rapid, cold, and precise. She is a top-tier pick for boss fights and endgame content.
Playstyle
  • Use Brr-Brr-Bomb β to apply Solidification on enemies, then follow with Basic Attacks to build SP.
  • Activate Cryoblasting Pistolier when enemies are Solidified to maximize damage from the enhanced Basic Attacks and final strike.
  • Utilize Flashfreezer υ37 after a Final Strike on Solidified enemies to re-apply Solidification and deal AoE Cryo DMG.
Strengths
  • Highest single-target burst damage in the game, especially against boss enemies.
  • Self-sufficient with built-in Solidification application and energy generation.
  • Ultimate provides stacking crit rate and crit dmg, making her scale well with investment.
Weaknesses
  • Relies on her Ultimate for peak damage; downtime can be a issue without proper energy support.
  • Vulnerable during Ultimate animation if not positioned carefully.
  • Requires team support for consistent Cryo Infliction to maximize talent bonuses.

  • Time Yvonne's Combo Skill to reapply Solidification after her Battle Skill to extend crowd control.
  • In Burst team, place Perlica before Yvonne in the team order to ensure Electrification is applied first.
