Solidifies Enemies and Deals Damage with Her Ultimate

Yvonne is an attacker whose Enhanced Basic Attacks from her Ultimate are extremely powerful. Apply Solidification to enemies, use her Ultimate to increase Critical Rate and Critical DMG, and keep landing Enhanced Basic Attacks to deal massive damage.

Yvonne Strategy Guide

Basic Rotation

Aim for Battle Skill → Combo Skill

Yvonne's Battle Skill forces enemies with Cryo or Nature Infliction into a Solidification state. Solidifying enemies restores bonus Ultimate Energy and leads directly into her Combo Skill, so prioritize this rotation.

Force Solidification With Combo Skill

Trigger Yvonne's Combo Skill by hitting a Solidified enemy with a Final Strike. This gathers enemies and forces them back into Solidification. While the cooldown is long, it recovers a massive amount of Ultimate Energy, so use it whenever available.

Utilize Solidification Time Lag

The Solidification from her Combo Skill applies on the final hit, a few seconds after activation. You can exploit this to extend the duration. Ideally, pop her Ultimate immediately after the Combo so the Combo finishes and reapplies Solidification while the Ultimate is active.

Greatly Enhance Basic Attacks With Ultimate

Yvonne enters an enhanced state during her Ultimate, where her Critical Rate and DMG scale up with every Basic Attack hit. Hold the Basic Attack button during her Ultimate to land as many hits as possible.

Can Move and Dodge During Ultimate

You can still move and dodge during her Ultimate. However, because damage scales with the number of enhanced Basic Attacks landed, you should try to set up a window (like a Stagger state) where you can stand still and focus entirely on attacking.

Yvonne Best Teams

Yvonne-focused Team

DPS	Cryo Amp	Nature Infliction	Recover SP
Yvonne	Xaihi	Gilberta	Alesh

This is a Solidification team centered around Yvonne. Trigger Solidification with Gilberta's Battle Skill → Yvonne's Battle Skill and cycle through Combo Skills to build up Yvonne's Ultimate.

Tips!	Xaihi and Gilberta synergize exceptionally well with Yvonne, so consider including them in your team if available.

Basic Combo & Strategy

Yvonne can inflict Solidification through Cryo/Nature Infliction, so confirm the enemy's Infliction status before activating her skill. Against normal enemies, group enemies using Gilberta’s Battle Skill, then apply Solidification to all targets with Yvonne's Battle Skill for a highly effective AoE combo.

Tips!	Yvonne's Ultimate lasts 7 seconds, while the Susceptibility effect from Gilberta's Ultimate lasts 5 seconds. To maximize overlap, slightly delay activating Gilberta's Ultimate after Yvonne's.

Recommended Replacements

Character	Description
Perlica	- Replace Alesh - Increases Arts DMG with Electrification from her Combo Skill - Increases DMG output, but skill rotation is difficult
Ardelia	- Replace Alesh - A healer who can apply Susceptibility - Her Ultimate can be used for a large burst of healing
Snowshine	- Replace Alesh - Inflicts Cryo with her Battle Skill and Solidification with her Ultimate 　- A healer who has good synergy with Yvonne
Last Rite	- Replace Alesh - Sub-Attacker who can inflict Cryo 　- Battle Skill → Final Strike to inflict Cryo

In a Yvonne-centered team, you will generally be replacing Alesh. Strong alternatives include Perlica and Ardelia, who further amplify her Ultimate's burst potential, as well as Snowshine and Last Rite, who can apply Cryo via Battle Skills while refunding SP.

Beginner & F2P Team

DPS	Cryo Infliction	HP Support	Recover SP
Yvonne	Estella	Snowshine	Akekuri

This team can be assembled using only free and 4-Star characters, excluding Yvonne. Use the combo Snowshine’s Battle Skill or Estella’s Battle Skill → Yvonne’s Battle Skill to trigger Solidification, then rotate through Combo Skills. Akekuri is included to recover SP via her Combo Skill and Ultimate, without relying on her Battle Skill.

Recommended Replacements

Character	Description
Ardelia	- Replace Snowshine - A healer who can apply Susceptibility - Obtainable from the Awakening Sign-In
Xaihi	- Replace Estella or Snowshine - Can inflict Cryo and apply Cryo Amp 　- Prioritize adding to the team if available
Alesh	- Replace Akekuri - Can Recover SP and inflict Cryo with his Ultimate - His Combo Skill is hard to trigger

Xaihi and Alesh are 5-Star characters, and since they are not free, they are listed here as alternatives. Ardelia, who can provide significant HP recovery with her Ultimate in emergencies, is also a viable option. Customize your team based on the characters you own.

Yvonne Best Weapons

Artzy Tyrannical is Recommended

Weapon	Features
Artzy Tyrannical	- Increases Intellect and Critical Rate. - Increases Cryo DMG; Critical Hits with a Battle or Combo Skill further boost Cryo DMG for 30s. - Synergizes well with Yvonne, who scales with Critical Rate from Gear.

Yvonne’s recommended weapon is her signature weapon, Artzy Tyrannical. With its effect that increases Critical Rate and Cryo DMG, it allows her to fully capitalize on the high Critical Rate and Critical DMG during her Ultimate, significantly enhancing her performance as a Main DPS.

Tips!	The weapon’s effect triggers upon landing a Critical Hit with a Battle Skill or Combo Skill. To maximize its uptime, it is recommended to stack Yvonne's Critical Rate as high as possible.

Navigator or Wedge as Alternatives

Weapon	Features
Navigator	- Increases Cryo and Nature DMG for 15s when enemies are Solidified or Corroded. - Obtainable from Protocol Pass
Wedge	- Increases Critical Rate - During Battle Skill or inflicting an Arts Reaction, Arts DMG increases for 15s - Obtainable from Arsenal Ticket

As alternatives to her signature weapon, Navigator and Wedge are recommended. Both increase damage when inflicting Solidification, synergizing well with Yvonne’s high damage output during Solidification. If both are available, Wedge is preferred due to its higher Critical Rate bonus.

Yvonne Best Gear Build

Security set effect. The Kit also provides additional Critical Rate, making it easier to scale her overall damage output.

Yvonne Recommended Potential Phases

At P5, Yvonne gains a significant increase to ATK and Critical DMG during her Ultimate. This is a powerful Potential effect that can further amplify her Ultimate's burst damage.

Advance Potential During Pick-Up Banner
