Basic attack sequence - Exuberant Trigger
- Basic attack: An attack with up to 5 sequences that deals Cryo DMG. As the controlled operator, Final Strike also deals 17 Stagger.
- Dive attack: Basic attack performed in mid-air becomes a dive attack that deals Cryo DMG to nearby enemies.
- Finisher: Basic attack performed near a Staggered enemy becomes a finisher that deals massive Cryo DMG and recovers some SP.
Battle skill - Brr-Brr-Bomb β
- Fires a freezing bomb. The bomb explodes when it hits the enemy, dealing Cryo DMG and applying Cryo Infliction to nearby enemies. If this battle skill successfully applies Solidification, it deals another hit of Cryo DMG with greatly increased Critical Rate after a short delay.
Combo skill - Flashfreezer υ37
- Combo trigger: When the controlled operator performs a Final Strike on an enemy with Solidification.
- Immediately deploys Frost-e-Bytee next to the enemy. While active, Frost-e-Bytee constantly releases energy to attack nearby enemies, deal Cryo DMG to them, and pull them towards itself. When Frost-e-Bytee expires, it explodes to deal Cryo DMG and apply Cryo Infliction to nearby enemies.
Ultimate skill - Cryoblasting Pistolier
- Immediately deploys the support bot Tink-a-Bella and makes Yvonne the controlled operator. Temporarily enhances Yvonne's basic attack (BATK). Each BATK sequence performed grants a stack of DMG buff to her BATK. At max stacks, Yvonne also gains a Critical Rate buff. When the skill is about to end, Yvonne's last BATK becomes a Final Strike that deals massive Cryo DMG and applies Cryo Infliction. Yvonne gains Ultimate Energy whenever her battle skill, combo skill, and Final Strike (as the controlled operator) deals Critical DMG. This effect only triggers once every 0.1s.
Talents
- Keen Mind: Operator Intellect +10/15/15/20.
- Barrage of Technology: Battle skill Brr-Brr-Bomb β improved: Triggering the additional effect converts the next basic attack performed into a Final Strike/Final Strike that has a buff of DMG Dealt +50%.
- Freezing Point: DMG Dealt +9%/+18% to enemies with active Cryo Infliction. Effect is doubled against enemies with Solidification.
- Outfitting: Activate this to let the operator equip blue/purple/gold quality gear

Best gear for Yvonne
- Artzy Tyrannical
- Navigator
Team synergy and role
Yvonne works well with the Cryo team - she can apply Solidification to enemies who already have Cryo or Nature Infliction, which is why using Gilberta alongside the other Cryo characters works so well.- Last Rite (Cryo)
- Xaihi (Cryo)
- Gilberta (Nature)
Is Yvonne worth using?
If you already plan on using a Cryo team, then she is a must-use. Her kit has amazing synergy with Xaihi and Last Rite, who are two of the core characters you would use on a Cryo team. So, to keep it short, she is definitely worth using.Her damage and utility alone make her worth using - and as a bonus, she is super cute, and I love her personality!
