Build Notes

Wulfgard—endgame dps

Rank #3

This is Wulfgard's on-field damage configuration. Rational Farewell acts as the core offensive piece because its Pursuit buff is easy for him to keep running and it grows with each Potential level. Hot Work supplies the Heat DMG and Arts Intensity he needs so that the Combustion he spreads deals meaningful damage over time, while the Bonekrusha Wristband off-piece adds another Heat DMG layer that applies to both his shots and the reaction ticks. The plan in combat is simple: let a non-Heat Infliction land on the target so Frag Grenade·β fires and applies Combustion, then immediately follow with Thermite Tracers to consume the reaction and land the large bonus hit. Because everything hinges on a single target carrying the reaction, this build shines in boss and elite fights and drops off in wide AoE situations.

Rational Farewell is picked first because its buff is trivial for Wulfgard to trigger and it scales further with Potentials, and it is a 5-star obtainable through the Arsenal Exchange.

Hot Work supplies Arts Intensity plus a Heat DMG boost after Combustion is applied, which multiplies the repeated damage of his reaction rather than just his initial hits.

The Bonekrusha Wristband off-piece is chosen to stack additional Heat DMG on top of the set bonuses.

Clannibal works as a substitute but demands tighter play: let Combustion tick to benefit from Arts Intensity, then consume it in time to activate the weapon's debuff.

Wedge functions as a generic damage stat-stick, while Long Road is the budget 4-star fallback until higher rarity handcannons are available.

Rational Farewell's Pursuit effect gives a big flat ATK swing that his Frag Grenade·β can keep active almost permanently.
The Hot Work set turns every Combustion he applies into a long Heat DMG window, which is exactly what his damage-over-time wants.
Bonekrusha Wristband is slotted in as the off-piece because it lifts Heat DMG for both his skills and his Combustion ticks.
Clannibal is a stronger theoretical option only if you are willing to micromanage consuming his own Combustion before it falls off.

Yvonne—endgame dps

Rank #3

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.

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.

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.

Yvonne—early game dps

Best in Slot

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.

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.

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.
