Yvonne Build Guide

Yvonne Xaihi Alesh Estella

F2P friendly team that focuses on maximizing Cryo Applications on the enemy. Use Yvonne and Alesh to trigger Solidification as needed. Fluorite and Gilberta can replace Estella depending on your availability or content you’re doing.

Build Recommendations are based on Weapons/Gear from Beta 2. Multiple Equipment pieces have changed for release. Stay tuned for updates.

Weapons

• Best-in-Slot: Artzy Tyrannical
• Alt: Navigator
• Alt: Wedge
• Alt: Opus: The Living

Yvonne’s Signature offers great stats and good synergy with her gameplay, making it the best option for her.

Both Wedge and Navigator are good options in case you don’t have Artzy Tyrannical. Navigator still provides some Crit Rate, but Wedge gives only damage effects.

If none of these options are available, Opus: The Living will be the best option for you. The stats are not as great as other options, but still gives Crit Rate and effects that can be easily triggered without any changes on Yvonne’s Gameplay.

Gear

• Gear Set: MI Security
• Armor: MI Security Overalls
• Gloves: MI Security Hands PPE
• Kit 1: MI Security Toolkit
• Kit 2: MI Security Toolkit

MI Security allows you to stack a lot of Crit Rate and give you extra stats by hitting Critical Hits. Since Yvonne’s Ultimate has a lot of hits, this set has amazing synergy and is highly recommended.

Gear Set: Pulser Labs

• Armor: Pulser Labs Disruptor Suit
• Gloves: MI Security Hands PPE
• Kit 1: Pulser Labs Calibrator
• Kit 2: Pulser Labs Calibrator

Pulser Labs focus on Solidifications, which Yvonne can trigger with both her Battle Skill and Chain Attack. Use it if you lack Crit Rate weapons or are focusing on Arts Reactions.

Ultimate > Battle Skill = Combo Skill > Basic Attack

Standard level up priority for DPS Operators. Just keep in mind that you should level up her skills whenever possible.

• P1 Flash Freezer
• P2 Flawless Creation
• P3 Tink-a-Power
• P4 Rebellious Mood
• P5 Expert Mechcrafter

Yvonne’s Potentials focus on increasing her damage, some of them include utilities, such as Potential 1 which increases her Combo Skill area of effect, and Potential 4 which improves her Battle Skill to return SP. None of them are noticeable or offers a different approach to Yvonne’s Gameplay.

Keep in mind that vertically investing in Arknights Endfield is not recommended and you should treat these as a bonus damage/utility for your Operator.

While Yvonne deals a lot of damage by herself, she still requires some team setup and good timing on skill to ensure you get the most out of her.

Start applying Cryo or Nature Infliction on the enemy using one of your other Operators. Once applied, use Yvonne’s Battle Skill to consume Inflictions and Solidify enemies. Hit a Solidified enemy with a Final Strike to trigger her Combo Skill, which pulls enemies, deals damage and forces another Solidification on enemies.

Her Ultimate enhances her Basic Attacks for a few seconds. The Enhanced Final Strike can consume Solidification from enemies to deal massive damage, so you need to time her Combo Skill properly or use other Operators to apply Solidification on the enemy before Yvonne’s Final Strike.

Yvonne will release on January 22nd, 2026 along with the release of Arknights: Endfield. She will be part of the Limited Off-Banner Pool, but won't be featured (50/50 rate) until the third Limited Banner character after Laevatain and Gilberta.

Her banner will likely last approximately 2.5 weeks. From there, she will be removed from the off-banner pool after 2 additional banners, making her total run time end in approximately mid April.
