Yvonne Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Yvonne build guide for Arknights: Endfield. Yvonne is a 6-star Handcannon Striker Character available in Arknights: Endfield who utilizes the Cryo element.

In our Yvonne guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Yvonne, from building the best Gear and Weapons, to important stat priorities and combos.

Yvonne's Best Weapons

Artzy Tyrannical
  • Wisdom +156 (9/9)
  • Crit Rate +19.5% (9/9)

Fracture: Artzy Exaggeration (4/9):
Cryo DMG Dealt +25.6%.
After the wielder scores a critical hit with a battle skill or combo skill, the wielder gains Cryo DMG Dealt +22.4% for 30s.
Max stacks for effects of the same name: 3. Duration of each stack is counted separately. Effect only triggers once every 0.1s.
Artzy Tyrannical grants a flat bonus Cryo damage and also gives an additional Cryo damage bonus after scoring a critical hit with a battle skill. This is also Yvonne's Signature weapon, and its apparent by its effects. This weapon is the best fit to maximize her potential.

Infliction: Wedge of Civilization (4/9):
Arts DMG Dealt +19.2%.

The two effects apply separately and do not stack with themselves.
Wedge grants a flat arts damage boost with additonal arts damage boosts for casting a battle skill and applying an arts reaction with a battle skill.

Best Gear for Yvonne

MI Security
3-piece set effect: Wearer's Critical Rate +5%.
When the wearer scores a critical hit, gain ATK +5% for 5s. This effect can reach 5 stacks. At max stacks, grant an additional Critical Rate +5%. This effect cannot stack.
The 3-Piece set effect for this gear grants the wearer a slight Critical Rate boost and states when the wearer scores a critical hit, they gain a slight ATK boost for a brief time. This effect can reach 5 stacks. At max stacks, it grants an additional slight Critical Rate boost as well. Since Yvonnes kit is focused heavily around critical damage, this gear set is by far her best option.
  • Body: MI Security Overalls Set — Intellect, Agility, Basic Attack DMG Bonus
  • Gloves: MI Security Hands PPE Set — Intellect, Agility, Basic Attack DMG Bonus
  • Kit 1: MI Security Toolkit Set — Intellect, Agility, Critical Rate %
  • Kit 2: MI Security Toolkit Set — Intellect, Agility, Critical Rate %
For Yvonne, the MI Security Set in full has everything you'll need. Double equipping the MI Security Toolkit pieces grants Critical Rate Bonus in addition to the 3-set effect which also boosts Critical Rate. The MI Security Chest and Gloves both grant Basic Attack Damage Boost which will play nicely into her Ultimate and really help Operators rain pain down on their enemies.

Leveling Gear for Yvonne

While this set is accessible much earlier in your journey on Talos-II, it can still be quite useful even at higher levels!

Mordvolt Insulation
Mordvolt Insulation
The 3-Piece set effect for this gear grants the Wearer a sizeable Intellect boost. In addition, when the wearer’s HP is above a certain percentage, Arts DMG is given a solid buff.
  • Body: Mordvolt Insulation Set — Intellect, Agility, Normal Attack Efficiency
  • Gloves: MI Security Hands PPE Offset — Intellect, Agility, Basic Attack DMG Bonus
  • Kit 1: Mordvolt Insulation Set — Intellect, Agility, Ultimate SP Gain
  • Kit 2: Mordvolt Insulation Set — Intellect, Agility, Attack DMG Bonus
The Mordvolt set is an alternative option for Yvonne that focuses on boosting attack and SP Gains. Outside of the MI Security set, which is Yvonnes indisputable best gear set option, this is the only other set that matches on Yvonne's Main and Secondary Attributes. The Mordvolt Security set doesn’t have Glove's that match the Intellect + Agility combination, which necessitates an offset option. As Yvonne's Main damage is handled with her basic attack the MI Security Hands PPE which boasts a sizeable Basic Attack Damage Bonus will slot nicely to round out the gear selection. Please Note: Intellect + Agility gear options are limited at launch, so this information may be updated in a future update. Please check back in the future for the most up to date information.

Yvonne's Skill Priority

Skill Priority: Exuberant Trigger > Cryoblasting Pistolier > Brr-Brr-Bomb β > Flashfreezer υ37

Picking Yvonne’s skill priority was a bit of a difficult task at first, but after looking at the numbers there was a clear order to things. We start with her Basic Attack. Since her Ultimate directly boosts her Basic Attack, you naturally want to ensure it has a very high level to benefit from the Ult buffs. Next is her Ultimate, which offers basic, powered, and additional attack damage multipliers to her Basic Attack. Her Normal skill will be third, with additional damage multipliers as well as multipliers that scale with when the enemy is affected by Cryo and Solidification. Last is her combo skill, as it only grants a few damage multipliers for itself.

How to Play Yvonne

Yvonne is an Operator that acts as hardcore Cryo DPS with a specialization in Solidification. Her optimal rotations involve chaining her Battle Skill on enemies with either Cryo or Nature infliction already applied to inflict solidification, performing a final strike on a solidified enemy, triggering combo skill, and then activating Ultimate to dish out maximum damage. Because a majority of her damage comes from her Basic Attack, its important to focus that specific skill as a main priority followed by her Ultimate, Battle Skill, and Combo Skill. As a striker, she will need support from an operator adept in applying elemental inflictions, so plan your team comp accordingly.
