Yvonne Weapons & Gear Progression

Comprehensive progression guide from level 1 to 80+

Updated: 2/22/2026 | BiS + F2P Options | P0 Viable

6★ DPS Cryo Rapier

Limited Cryo Main DPS with powerful single-target burst. Relies on consuming Cryo Infliction stacks for Solidification and damage scaling. Solidification mechanic converts Cryo Infliction to boosted damage on next hit. Requires 3 stacks of Cryo Infliction for full power, making her team-dependent but rewarding for well-composed Cryo teams.

Build Focus

Cryo DMG, Critical Rate, Critical DMG, Arts Intensity, Combo Skill DMG (her main damage source), Ultimate Gain Efficiency for faster rotations

Skill Priority

Combo Skill > Ultimate > Battle Skill > Normal Attack

Playstyle

Wait for 3 Cryo Infliction stacks from teammates, then use Combo Skill to consume for massive Solidification burst. Follow with Ultimate during Solidification window. MI Security gear crit ramps + Artzy Tyrannical create unstoppable damage chain. Requires Gilberta for mobbing, Xaihi for Cryo Amp. Excellent ST boss killer.

Optimization Logic

Target MI Security pieces with best substats. Hands PPE T1 is essential for Crit Rate.

ATK +15%

When any operator in the team casts a battle skill, the wearer gains 1 stack of Yinglung's Edge that gives DMG +20% to the wearer's next combo skill. Yinglung's Edge can stack 3 times. Max 3 stacks.

Combo skill focus set. Perfect for Yvonne's main damage source being her Combo Skill. Provides massive Combo Skill DMG scaling.

Target Max Refinement

Effect

Physical DMG +57.6%. After the wearer scores a Critical Hit, gain Physical DMG +25.2% and Critical Rate +7% for 15s. Cannot stack.

Source: Arsenal Exchange (Curated Weapon Supply)

Why: Yvonne's signature and BiS weapon. The crit chain effect creates a feedback loop: crit → more rate → higher damage → more crits. At max refinement, this is unstoppable.

Investment: Final stop. Max refinement for optimal crit scaling and damage output.

DPS Gain: +20-25% over next best weapon - crit scaling multiplies exponentially with MI Security gear

F2P Max Valiant (Maxed) 6★ Rapier

Effect

ATK +39%. After casting Ultimate, gains ATK +28% for 20s. Cannot stack.

Why: Best F2P alternative. At max refinement, provides consistent ATK buffs for sustained damage. Lacks the crit synergy of signature but still reliable.

Note: Solid F2P endgame weapon. No immediate need to replace if Artzy Tyrannical isn't available.

Gear Sets

Best in Slot MI Security (Optimized) (3pc) Tier 3 Gold

Critical Rate +5%

After 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.

Why this set?

BiS for Yvonne - this gear set was literally designed for her crit-oriented design. The synergy between MI Security's crit ramping and Artzy Tyrannical's Crit Rate self-buff creates unstoppable damage scaling. With optimal pieces, can hit 80%+ Crit Rate with 4-5 ATK stacks.

Complete Build

armor: MI Security Overalls T3 (Intellect primary, Ultimate Gain Efficiency secondary)

gloves: MI Security Hands PPE T1 (AGI primary, Critical Rate secondary)

Source: Wuling Gear Template Crates, Gear Assembly with Xiranite + Wuling Bills

Alternative Swordmancer (Optimized) (3pc) Tier 3

Stagger Efficiency Bonus +20%

When the wearer applies a Physical Status, the wearer also performs 1 hit that deals 250% ATK of Physical DMG and 10 Stagger. Effect trigger cooldown: 15s.

Alternative for content where stagger matters or crit focus isn't viable.

Note: Use in stagger-dependent content.

F2P Option Aburrey's Legacy 3pc + MI Security Off-piece (Budget Crit Build) (3pc Aburrey's Legacy + 1pc MI Security)

Skill DMG +24%

When the wearer casts a battle skill, combo skill, or ultimate, gain ATK +5% for 15s. The buff from each of the three skill types is unique and does not stack with itself.

F2P-friendly max level setup. Aburrey's Legacy provides +15% ATK from all skill types plus +24% Skill DMG. Mix with MI Security PPE T1 Gloves for critical rate. Only ~20-25% behind full MI Security setup but much more accessible.

Tip: Best F2P option for max level. One MI Security piece gives decent crit scaling while Aburrey provides consistent damage. Upgrade to full MI Security 3pc when possible.

Complete Build

armor: Aburrey Light Armor (ATK% secondary)

gloves: Aburrey Gauntlets (Combo Skill DMG secondary)

kit1: Aburrey Sensor Chip (Ultimate DMG secondary)

kit2: MI Security Hands PPE T1 (Critical Rate secondary) - off-piece

Upgrade Path: Farm MI Security pieces gradually, replacing Aburrey pieces one at a time. Keep highest crit rolls on MI Security pieces.

Alternative: Redeemer 3pc (Comfort Build)

Final Build Optimization

Rotation

Generate Cryo Infliction stacks (requires teammate or Ult) → Combo Skill (Crystal Slash) to consume 3 stacks for Solidification buff → Ultimate (Arctic Judgment) for massive burst → Basic Attacks to apply crit chains

Timing

Wait until 3 Cryo Infliction stacks are applied before using Combo Skill for Solidification. The Solidification window is short - use immediately. Time Ultimate during Solidification for maximum damage. Artzy Tyrannical's buff triggers on crits - maintain crit streaks.

Team Compositions

Optimal

Yvonne (DPS) + Gilberta (grouper + Cryo Infliction provider) + Xaihi (massive Cryo Amp + heal) + Estella (Solidify + arts susceptibility) or Snowshine (counter + Solidify)

Alternative

Yvonne + Gilberta + Xaihi + Last Rite (Cryo infusion for hybrid team)

F2P

Yvonne + Gilberta + Xaihi + Estella

Min-Max Tips

Yvonne REQUIRES 3 Cryo Infliction stacks for full damage - never use Combo Skill without stacks

Gilberta is non-negotiable for mobbing struggles - her grouping allows Yvonne to hit multiple enemies

MI Security set + Artzy Tyrannical = crit chain that can reach 80%+ Crit Rate with 5 ATK stacks

The feedback loop: crit → +7% Crit Rate → next crit → +5% ATK → more DMG → more crits

Combo Skill is MAIN DAMAGE SOURCE - prioritize it over everything else in rotation

Solidification buff duration is SHORT - use immediately after Combo Skill for burst

Ultimate does massive damage but has long cooldown - save for important targets

Practice timing: Cryo stacks (teammate) → Combo Skill (Solidify) → Ultimate (burst) → Basics (crit chain)

Yvonne struggles with AoE - Gilberta grouping is essential for mob clear

10.

Fixed attack range means positioning matters - stay in melee range

11.

In pure ST boss fights, Yvonne outperforms most other DPS with proper team setup

12.

Consider Type 50 Yinglung set if you prefer pure Combo Skill scaling over crit RNG

13.

Yvonne's damage is backloaded - patience with Cryo stack setup pays off

14.

Xaihi's Amp is massive - Cryo DMG scales with this, making her essential

15.

Don't over-invest in early gear - Yvonne really shines at Authority 60+ with full MI Security
