Yvonne Compele Guide: Builds & Teams - Arknights: Endfield

When playing Arknights: Endfield, a character’s role and build direction have a direct impact on your team’s overall damage flow and combat stability. Yvonne, a Cryo Striker main DPS, stands out in the launch version thanks to multiple balance buffs that significantly improved her on-field damage and Ultimate uptime.

This guide covers Yvonne’s core mechanics, skill priorities, weapon and gear choices, and practical team compositions, helping you decide whether she’s worth investing in—and how to get the most value out of her.

 

If you’re aiming to secure Laevatain early or want to test multiple starting setups, many players use OSLink to reroll in Arknights: Endfield efficiently. With remote multi-instance control, OSLink allows you to manage multiple accounts at once, sync tutorial progress, and complete early pulls simultaneously, dramatically cutting down reroll time and locking in an ideal opening roster.

 

 

I. Yvonne Overviews

Yvonne is a Cryo Striker main DPS designed for sustained on-field damage. Her kit revolves around high-frequency basic attacks, consistent critical scaling, and a stable Solidification loop, making her a textbook on-field DPS.

After receiving buffs in the release version, Yvonne now features a complete self-sustaining damage cycle: she generates Ultimate energy while dealing damage, enabling frequent Ultimate activation without heavy team dependency.

 

II. Core Mechanics Breakdown

Yvonne’s damage profile centers on Ultimate-enhanced basic attacks.

• Her basic attacks hit rapidly and in multiple stages
• When player-controlled, Charged Attacks quickly build Stagger, setting up executions, combo skills, and Ultimates
• Maintaining on-field presence is key to maximizing her damage output

 

Her Battle Skill, Brr-Brr-Bomb β, is a critical energy engine:

• When it hits enemies affected by Cryo or other Arts Inflictions, it consumes all inflictions
• Forces Solidification
• Deals high Cryo damage based on consumed stacks
• Refunds a large amount of Ultimate energy

This allows Yvonne to enter her Ultimate state far more frequently than most DPS units.

 

Her Ultimate, Cryoblasting Pistolier, is her primary burst window:

• Basic attacks are fully enhanced
• Each hit stacks Critical Rate
• At max stacks, Critical Damage is increased
• Ends with a high-multiplier Charged Attack
• If the target is Solidified, additional Cryo damage is triggered and the effect is consumed

 

How to Play

High-frequency basic attacks + Charged Attacks → Trigger Solidification and energy refund via Brr-Brr-Bomb β → Activate Ultimate → Enhanced basic attack loop

As long as enemies remain affected by Cryo or Solidification, Yvonne can continuously output damage with minimal downtime. She’s easy to pilot, but her damage ceiling is extremely high in optimized setups.

VII. Should You Pull Yvonne?

After launch-version buffs, Yvonne is firmly positioned as a T0-tier main DPS. She deals high damage while sustaining her own Ultimate cycle, making her extremely efficient and reliable.

Yvonne can now appear in limited banners:

• If you already pulled Yvonne, she’s absolutely worth building
• If you don’t have her yet, consider pulling when she enters limited banner, depending on your roster needs

 

For Potential

• Potential 0: Fully functional
• Potential 1: Faster Ultimate rotation
• Potential 4: Reduces team SP pressure

Higher Potentials mainly improve gameplay comfort rather than providing mandatory power spikes.
