Top Yvonne Weapons, Gears, and Team for Completing and Solving in Arknights: Endfield

Select Language:

After about 30 minutes of playing Arknights: Endfield, you’ll get familiar with the game’s gacha system. You’ll notice a specific character featured with a rate-up during the Chartered Headhunting banners. These characters are available for a limited time and can only be pulled until their two rate-up banners are over.

Yvonne is an exception. You can acquire her even before her limited-time banner appears in the launch version of the game. She’s a six-star striker who uses pistols as her weapon. When you equip her with the best weapons and gear, she can quickly take down bosses with ease.

Best Yvonne Weapons and Essences

Once you pull Yvonne from one of the banners she’s featured on, your first move should be to equip her with the top weapon you have. This will significantly boost her stats over time. Her most effective weapon is her signature called the Artzy Tyrannical.

However, there are several other good choices from different rarity levels:

Weapon Name	Rarity	Stat Boost Types	Description
Artzy Tyrannical	6-Star	Intellect, Critical Rate, Fracture	Provides a Cryo damage bonus that increases when her skills land critical hits. Stacking this effect up to three times makes it very powerful.
Navigator	6-Star	Intellect, Cryo Damage, Infliction	Raises her critical rate and boosts Cryo damage when enemies are solidified or corroded.
Wedge	6-Star	Main Attribute, Critical Rate, Infliction	Significantly boosts Arts damage, especially after using her battle skill and applying solidification.
Opus: The Living	5-Star	Agility, Arts, Infliction	Increases Arts damage, attack, and crit rate, though it doesn’t boost her main attribute.
Howling Guard	4-Star	Intellect, Attack, Suppression	A basic weapon that grants attack boosts after hitting enemies with her battle skill.

Best Yvonne Gear Sets

The gear system in Endfield is straightforward without much randomness. Each gear piece shows its stats beforehand, and you only need to craft each gear type once for her if you focus on her best gear set.

The most beneficial gear set for Yvonne is MI Security, which offers excellent bonuses in the late game. For early game until you upgrade to high-quality gear, other options include:

Pack Name	Best Pieces for Yvonne	Set Bonus
MI Security	Overalls, Security Hands PPE, Toolkit	Gains crit rate with three pieces; each crit stack also grants attack boost, stacking up to five times, plus an additional crit rate bonus at five stacks.
Mordvolt Insulation	Vest T1, Gloves T1, Wrench T2	Provides extra intelligence and boosts arts damage when at high health.

Since only three pieces from MI Security are necessary for the bonus, the remaining gear can be chosen freely. An auxiliary option such as the Arm from the Eternal Xiranite pack can complement her.

Yvonne’s Best Teams

In Endfield’s combat system, you can deploy up to four characters per team. As you progress to the endgame, strong synergistic teams are critical for victory.

Yvonne works well with a team that includes Gilberta, Xaihi, and Snowshine. The best pairing generally involves Gilberta along with the other two. You might also experiment with Last Rite, Snowshine, and Xaihi, but note that the shared striker effect between Yvonne and Last Rite makes this combination challenging.

Here’s how each teammate supports Yvonne:

Gilberta: Uses her skill and ultimate to apply Nature Infliction, pull enemies together, and speed up Yvonne’s ultimate charge. She also applies Art Susceptibility.
Xaihi: Heals Yvonne, applies Cryo Infliction, and can amplify her Cryo and Arts damage—key for maximizing her burst potential.
Estella: Good with Yvonne, especially when paired with Gilberta for synergistic effects. Her role is to apply Cryo Infliction with her skills.
Snowshine: Applies Cryo Infliction by parrying enemies, absorbs it, and can solidify enemies with her ultimate. She also heals the team.
Last Rite: Applies Cryo Infliction during her skill and final strike, though her ability to apply Cryo Susceptibility depends on consuming Arts Infliction, which is often not optimal when Yvonne’s damage is a priority.

Yvonne Ability Overview and Upgrade Focus

Yvonne’s abilities revolve around her combat stance and infliction mechanics:

Her battle skill throws a bomb causing AoE damage and can consume Cryo or Nature Infliction on enemies to instantly solidify them, gaining ultimate energy in the process.
Her combo skill activates when her controlled operator lands the final blow and creates a bot that pulls enemies in while applying Solidification, further powering her ultimate.
Her ultimate stance lets her attack a single enemy repeatedly, gaining crit stacks and crit damage when maxed. It also allows her to deal extra attacks if her final strike hits a solidified enemy.
Yvonne excels when enemies are kept under Solidification, which maximizes her damage output.

Upgrade priority should focus on her ultimate skill, as it yields the most damage. Her battle skill and combo skill are also important for maintaining solidification on enemies and generating energy. The basic attack can be upgraded if you intend to use her as the controlled operator.
