dpssingle_targetcryocrit_scalingcontrolled_operator
Yvonne is rated at the very top of the tier list because her single-target output is among the highest in Endfield, letting her melt RE-Crisis bosses once she is well invested. She pairs that damage with built-in self-buffs and Solidification utility, so she is both a strong carry and a useful enabler.
endgamedpsendgamesingle_targetcritcryomain_dpsbursthigh_investment
This is Yvonne's dedicated endgame carry setup, built around maximizing her single-target burst during the ultimate window. Artzy Tyrannical is the weapon of choice because it feeds the Intellect, Critical Rate and Cryo scaling her kit is built on, with Navigator as an almost equal substitute for battle pass owners and Wedge or Howling Guard as fallbacks. The four-piece MI Security set provides the Crit Rate and ATK she wants, and since the set rewards landing critical hits, her ultimate's rapid enhanced basic attacks keep the bonus stacked for the entire duration. Play the build by softening or freezing the target first, forcing Solidification, then dumping the ultimate while the enemy is Staggered so the enhanced attacks and the Freezing Point crit bonus both apply. It is a high-investment, high-reward configuration aimed at RE-Crisis bosses and trimmed medal runs.

Explanation
Weapon logic: her multipliers lean on Intellect, Crit and Cryo, so the handcannon that supplies all three at once outperforms everything else in the pool.
Gear logic: MI Security hands her the exact offensive stats she scales from, and her fast empowered basic attacks keep the set's crit-triggered ATK stacks running.
Navigator is the runner-up and behaves almost identically, but it is a battle pass reward, so players without it should fall back to Wedge for Crit and Arts damage or Howling Guard as a budget Intellect/ATK option.
Notes
- Artzy Tyrannical lines up with the Intellect, Critical Rate and Cryo damage her kit converts into output.
- The MI Security set adds roughly 25% ATK and 10% Critical Rate on top of the raw stats each piece already carries.
- Its conditional ATK effect stacks quickly because her ultimate fires a rapid stream of basic attacks while she builds Critical Rate.
early gamedpsearly_gamebeginnerbudgetcritintellecttransition
A low-cost starter configuration for Yvonne aimed at the level 15 to 30 range before better equipment is farmable. Wedge is the recommended early weapon since it pushes Critical Rate and Arts damage, with Howling Guard serving as a budget substitute when better options are not available. The Mordvolt Insulation set is chosen for its Intellect set bonus and its Arts damage bonus while healthy, both of which support the Intellect-driven side of her kit even without refined gear. Nothing here is meant to be permanent: the build exists to keep her damage respectable while progressing through the early zones, and it should be replaced with MI Security gear as soon as the Wuling content opens up.

Explanation
Weapon logic: Wedge gives early Critical Rate and Arts damage, which is enough for Yvonne to function while she is still leveling.
Gear logic: Mordvolt Insulation grants a flat Intellect boost and an Arts damage bonus while above 80% HP, both of which line up with her Intellect-based scaling.
This setup is only a bridge — once Wuling-tier gear becomes available, transition into the MI Security endgame configuration.
Notes
- Wedge is a cheap entry weapon that still delivers Critical Rate and Arts damage boosts.
- Howling Guard is a workable stand-in if nothing better has dropped, though its base stats are low.
- Mordvolt Insulation is meant as a level 15 to 30 stepping stone before moving on to better sets.
Build Insights
Yvonne is meant to be fielded as the controlled operator and functions as the team's primary single-target carry. Her kit wants allies who can apply Cryo Infliction so she can convert those stacks into Solidification with Brr-Brr-Bomb β; that conversion both locks the target down and refunds Ultimate Energy, so a Cryo applier effectively accelerates her ultimate loop. From there, a Final Strike on the Solidified target triggers Flashfreezer υ37, which drops Frost-e-Bytee to cluster enemies and re-solidify them, keeping the whole chain alive. Support slots that buff Cryo DMG, Arts damage or general ATK, or that apply Arts-related debuffs, multiply her output further. Because her ultimate wants targets that are already Staggered and Solidified, she is usually deployed alongside control and debuff tools rather than pure damage dealers, and she occupies the main DPS slot in those compositions rather than a flex slot.
Core Mechanics
- Brr-Brr-Bomb β eats all Cryo or Nature Infliction stacks on the target to force Solidification, and each stack consumed refunds extra Ultimate Energy to Yvonne.
- Her Combo Skill Flashfreezer υ37 only fires after a Final Strike lands on a Solidified enemy; it drops Frost-e-Bytee, which drags enemies inward, chips them with periodic Cryo hits, then explodes to reapply Solidification.
- Cryoblasting Pistolier puts Yvonne in control with empowered basic attacks, stacking Critical Rate on every sequence and converting max stacks into a Critical DMG buff.
- Freezing Point adds Critical DMG against targets carrying Cryo Infliction, and doubles that bonus while they are Solidified.
- Barrage of Technology makes the next basic attack after a Solidification into a Final Strike, which is what enables the Combo Skill loop.
Scaling
- Her damage mostly rides on Intellect, then Critical Rate, Critical DMG, Cryo DMG and Basic Attack DMG, with flat ATK as a secondary multiplier.
- She functions fine early with basic gear because her kit self-buffs, but her ceiling in RE-Crisis content only opens up with heavy investment in weapon and gear stats.
- Damage is team-dependent: without allies applying Cryo Infliction she loses the Solidification conversions that feed her Ultimate Energy and Freezing Point bonus.
Character Notes
Yvonne is a 6-star Cryo Striker who fights with a handcannon and is designed to be played as the controlled operator. Her identity is single-target elimination: she stacks Solidification on one target, converts Cryo or Nature Infliction into extra Ultimate Energy, and then unloads a long enhanced basic-attack sequence that scales with Critical Rate and Critical DMG. Because her best damage window is the ultimate, and the ultimate rewards hitting enemies that are already Staggered and Solidified, she plays best in teams that supply freeze and stagger support around her. She is a premier boss killer and one of the strongest carries in the game, but she expects gear and weapon investment to reach that level, and she is not a character that functions well without a setup crew around her.
Playstyle
- Keep her as the controlled operator so she can land Final Strikes and trigger the Combo Skill.
- Apply Cryo or Nature Infliction first, then fire Brr-Brr-Bomb β to burn those stacks into Solidification and recover Ultimate Energy.
- Follow up with a Final Strike on the Solidified target to summon Frost-e-Bytee, which groups enemies and re-applies Solidification.
- Hold Cryoblasting Pistolier until the target is both Staggered and Solidified so every enhanced swing benefits from the crit bonuses.
- Only run her on teams that can keep Cryo Infliction active, or her energy loop and Freezing Point bonus lose most of their value.
Strengths
- Among the highest single-target damage dealers, capable of trivializing RE-Crisis boss fights when invested.
- Self-sufficient buffs: her ultimate hands out stacking Critical Rate and a large Critical DMG bonus without needing dedicated supports.
- Brings her own control through Solidification, which helps the rest of the team as well as her own damage.
- Skill kit generates its own Ultimate Energy through Solidification conversion, so rotations come back online quickly.
Weaknesses
- The ultimate leaves her vulnerable while she channels the enhanced attack sequence, so it needs a controlled target to be safe.
- The Combo Skill demands a Final Strike on a Solidified enemy, which means setup, skill points and timing are required.
- Damage is heavily team-gated: without a Cryo Infliction source she cannot reliably convert into Solidification or the crit damage bonus.
- Her best weapon and gear are expensive or banner-locked, so she underperforms noticeably at low investment.
Team Guide
bestcryo_teamsolidification_teamnature_teamburst_team
This comp layers Cryo and Nature Infliction onto targets, then converts those stacks into Solidification so Yvonne can fuel and amplify her own damage. Gilberta usually supplies the Nature half of the setup, though Arcane can be swapped in for her if you prefer that kit. Xaihi handles buffing and sustain, and Tangtang contributes AoE crowd control plus Arts Susceptibility so Yvonne's Ultimate can be completed safely.
The core idea is to have all the debuffs and Inflictions online before Yvonne consumes them with her Battle Skill.
The core idea is to have all the debuffs and Inflictions online before Yvonne consumes them with her Battle Skill.
Explanation
Gilberta (or Arcane) applies Nature Infliction, which Yvonne's Battle Skill converts into Solidification.
Xaihi provides team buffs and keeps the squad alive while also adding Cryo Infliction stacks.
Tangtang's crowd control and Arts Susceptibility make the window for Yvonne's Ultimate far safer and more damaging.
Solidification itself doubles as crowd control, prolonging the freeze and giving Yvonne extra energy through her skills.
Strengths
- Covers debuffing, buffing, crowd control and sustain in one four-slot shell.
- Arts Susceptibility from Tangtang significantly boosts the damage of Yvonne's Ultimate.
- Solidification keeps enemies pinned while Yvonne channels her burst.
Weaknesses
- The rotation is order-sensitive: Yvonne's Battle Skill must land after the Infliction application to actually trigger Solidification.
- Swapping Gilberta out for Arcane changes the combo timings, so a new opener sequence is needed.
Rotation
- 1Open with Xaihi's Battle Skill and Gilberta's Battle Skill to prepare buffs and Infliction.
- 2Land a Final Strike with Yvonne, then use her Battle Skill once Gilberta has applied Nature Infliction to trigger Solidification and gain Ultimate energy.
- 3Trigger Gilberta's Combo Skill to apply Lift and Shatter, follow with a basic attack to skip straight to Final Strike, and fire Xaihi's Ultimate if it is up.
- 4Use Yvonne's Combo Skill to reapply Solidification, then Xaihi's Combo Skill for an extra stack of Cryo Infliction.
- 5Trigger Tangtang's Combo Skill and then her Battle Skill to apply Arts Susceptibility.
- 6Cast Tangtang's Ultimate first for crowd control, then Yvonne's Ultimate, and finish with a Dive Attack to activate Tangtang's Riot Bringer talent.
Buff and debuff first, convert Infliction into Solidification for Yvonne, then layer Tangtang's control and Arts Susceptibility right before Yvonne's Ultimate.
elementalcryo_teamultimate_uptime
A mono-Cryo shell built to keep Yvonne's Ultimate cycling as often as possible. Last Rite, Xaihi and Fluorite all pile on Cryo Infliction, and Yvonne consumes those stacks with her Battle Skill, gaining energy with each one to shorten her Ultimate cooldown.
Last Rite's Combo Skill can freeze enemies and delays before it consumes Infliction, so make sure Yvonne's Battle Skill resolves first and funnels every stack into her.
Last Rite's Combo Skill can freeze enemies and delays before it consumes Infliction, so make sure Yvonne's Battle Skill resolves first and funnels every stack into her.
Explanation
Every teammate contributes Cryo Infliction, giving Yvonne plenty of stacks to consume.
Each Infliction consumed by Yvonne's Battle Skill refunds energy, which is what drives the high Ultimate uptime.
Last Rite's freeze adds crowd control on top of the damage window.
Fluorite rounds out the Infliction count so the team can realistically reach four stacks in a cycle.
Strengths
- Very high Ultimate frequency thanks to constant Infliction consumption.
- Fully aligned element means every member feeds the same mechanic.
- Multiple freeze effects keep the target locked down during Yvonne's damage window.
Weaknesses
- Last Rite's Combo Skill consumes Cryo Infliction on a delay, so a mistimed Yvonne Battle Skill steals those stacks and wastes them.
- Little room for defensive utility outside of the Cryo kit.
Rotation
- 1Cast Xaihi's and Last Rite's Battle Skills to set up the Auxiliary Crystal and Hypothermic Perfusion buff.
- 2Perform a Final Strike with Yvonne, then cast Last Rite's Battle Skill again for a second Hypothermic Perfusion buff.
- 3Perform another Final Strike with Yvonne, then trigger Xaihi's Combo Skill followed by Fluorite's Combo Skill.
- 4Use Xaihi's Ultimate when available, then trigger Last Rite's Combo Skill.
- 5Cast Yvonne's Battle Skill before Last Rite's Combo Skill connects so all four Cryo Infliction stacks go to her and Solidification triggers.
- 6After Solidification lands, basic attack into an immediate Final Strike thanks to Barrage of Technology, then trigger Yvonne's Combo Skill.
- 7Cast Yvonne's Ultimate to dump damage while the reapplied Solidification extends the crowd control and triggers Freezing Point.
Build up to four Cryo Infliction stacks, feed them all to Yvonne's Battle Skill, then chain Combo Skill into Ultimate while the target stays frozen.
alternativeburst_teamdebuff_stacking
A damage-ceiling composition that leans on stacking debuffs rather than on Infliction volume. Gilberta and Perlica pile separate debuffs onto the enemy while Xaihi keeps Yvonne buffed, so her Ultimate lands with the maximum number of amplifiers active.
The trade-off is that this team generates very little Cryo and Nature Infliction, so Yvonne gains less energy and her Ultimate comes up less often even though each cast hits harder.
The trade-off is that this team generates very little Cryo and Nature Infliction, so Yvonne gains less energy and her Ultimate comes up less often even though each cast hits harder.
Explanation
Perlica provides Electrification while Gilberta enables Corrosion and grouping, giving Yvonne several stacked debuff multipliers.
Xaihi keeps the team buffed and healthy so Yvonne can commit to a full Ultimate channel.
Because the comp focuses on buffs and debuffs instead of Infliction, each Ultimate deals more damage per cast.
Strengths
- Highest single-Ultimate damage of Yvonne's comps thanks to stacked debuffs and buffs.
- Gilberta's grouping helps Yvonne's Ultimate cover more targets at once.
Weaknesses
- Low Cryo and Nature Infliction means poor energy gain and noticeably worse Ultimate uptime.
- Placement order matters: Perlica should sit before Yvonne to apply Electrification first, and Xaihi before Gilberta to trigger Corrosion.
Rotation
- 1Open with Xaihi's Battle Skill to prepare the Auxiliary Crystal.
- 2Cast Gilberta's Battle Skill to begin channeling and pulling enemies together.
- 3Run a basic attack string into Final Strike with Yvonne to consume a crystal charge, and cast Xaihi's Ultimate when available.
- 4Once Gilberta's Nature Infliction is applied, use Yvonne's Battle Skill to consume it and apply Solidification.
- 5Perform another Final Strike with Yvonne, then trigger Perlica's Combo Skill to apply Electrification.
- 6Trigger Gilberta's Combo Skill, then Xaihi's Combo Skill, then Gilberta's Ultimate to apply Corrosion, follow with a Final Strike and Yvonne's Combo Skill to reapply Solidification.
- 7Use Xaihi's Ultimate when ready, then cast Yvonne's Ultimate while the target carries Electrification, Corrosion, Solidification and Arts Susceptibility.
Set the crystal and Gilberta's channel, apply Solidification, layer Electrification and Corrosion, then fire Yvonne's Ultimate into the fully debuffed target.
f2pf2pbeginnerlow_investmentcryo_team
A budget-friendly Cryo setup where Snowshine, a free unit, covers both sustain and Cryo Infliction while Estella and Fluorite handle additional Infliction stacking. Alesh is the preferred SP generator, but if you cannot field her, Akekuri can fill that slot for skill point generation alone.
Play the comp by getting enemies Solidified before Yvonne fires her Ultimate, which is exactly where the bulk of the damage comes from.
Play the comp by getting enemies Solidified before Yvonne fires her Ultimate, which is exactly where the bulk of the damage comes from.
Explanation
Snowshine is freely obtainable and doubles as the team's sustain and Cryo Infliction source.
Estella or Fluorite adds the extra Cryo Infliction stacks Yvonne needs to reach Solidification.
Alesh supplies skill points, though Akekuri is an acceptable stand-in when Alesh is unavailable.
The whole shell is built so Yvonne can land her Ultimate on a frozen, debuffed enemy.
Strengths
- Very low investment requirement with a guaranteed free healer in Snowshine.
- Dedicated SP generation keeps Yvonne's skills and Combo Skill flowing.
- Full Cryo alignment makes Solidification reliable despite the budget roster.
Weaknesses
- Alesh is difficult to replace without noticeably weaker skill point flow, and Akekuri only patches the SP side.
- Damage output is lower than the premium Cryo and Burst compositions.
Rotation
- 1Start the fight with Estella's Battle Skill to apply the first Cryo Infliction, then chip in with Yvonne's basic attacks.
- 2Use Yvonne's Battle Skill to convert the Infliction into Solidification.
- 3Follow up with basic attacks into a Final Strike before the Solidification shatters, holding Yvonne's Combo Skill for later.
- 4Fire off any available teammate buffs and debuffs, then trigger Estella's Combo Skill and her Ultimate, followed by Snowshine's Ultimate.
- 5Use Yvonne's Combo Skill, then Alesh's Combo Skill to rebuild resources.
- 6Cast Yvonne's Ultimate so the Final Strike lands on a frozen target, then keep basic attacking until the Ultimate ends and repeat the cycle.
Apply Cryo Infliction, convert it to Solidification, hold Yvonne's Combo Skill until the buffs are up, then fire her Ultimate into a frozen enemy.
Team Insights
Yvonne is the dedicated main damage dealer in every composition, and her kit is built around two resources: Infliction stacks on the enemy and the Ultimate energy those stacks generate when she consumes them with her Battle Skill. Teams are therefore assembled around whoever can reliably apply Cryo and Nature Infliction on demand, with Solidification acting as both a damage trigger and crowd control. Xaihi appears in nearly every setup because she combines buffing, sustain and Cryo Infliction in a single slot. From there you choose between maximum Ultimate uptime (stacking Infliction) or maximum per-cast damage (stacking buffs and debuffs), and the budget version simply substitutes free characters into the same Cryo shell.
Synergy Patterns
- Infliction appliers such as Gilberta, Last Rite, Xaihi, Fluorite and Estella exist to feed Yvonne's Battle Skill, which converts the stacks into Solidification and energy.
- Xaihi's Auxiliary Crystal and Cryo/Nature Amp buffs line up well with Yvonne's Ultimate window.
- Crowd control from Tangtang or Last Rite keeps the target in place while Yvonne channels her Ultimate.
- Debuff stackers like Perlica and Gilberta raise Yvonne's damage ceiling but reduce how often her Ultimate comes back online.
Tips
- Always land Yvonne's Battle Skill before any delayed Infliction consumption, especially against Last Rite's Combo Skill freeze.
- Save Yvonne's Combo Skill so it can reapply Solidification and extend the crowd control into her Ultimate window.
- In the Burst team, set Perlica ahead of Yvonne in the lineup to apply Electrification first and Xaihi ahead of Gilberta to trigger Corrosion.
- Ending Yvonne's Ultimate with a Dive Attack matters in comps that rely on Tangtang, since it activates her Riot Bringer or early Rogue Wave effects.
- If you lack Alesh for the budget team, Akekuri can cover skill point generation, but the rest of the Cryo core should stay intact.

Yvonne is a researcher attached to Endfield Industries' Specialist Tech Division, working on Aether and Blight. She deliberately breaks the mold of the reserved scientist: bright dye on her horns, tail and nails, and a habit of slipping out of conferences to chase her own hobbies. Her colleagues still hold her in high regard because her intellect and sharpness are beyond question.
