At first sight, Yvette appears charming, but she is actually one of the most formidable Controller Agents in Strinova. Armed with a high-damage, rapid-fire submachine gun (SMG), she can eliminate enemies in the blink of an eye. What’s more, Yvette can become invisible when she remains still, making it easy for her to set up ambushes.
To enhance her capabilities in battle, Yvette has her adorable teddy bear companion, Fay. While her cute appearance is deceiving, the real strength comes from skilled players who know how to harness her abilities. This guide aims to help you master this icy yet deadly character.
Yvette’s Abilities
Skill Name |
Skill Type |
What It Does |
Teddy Assault |
Active Skill |
Yvette can summon her teddy bear, Fay, to freeze designated areas. Fay is controllable and causes enemies to slip, making them vulnerable. |
Frostfall |
Ultimate Skill |
Yvette summons a Polar Bear to create a freezing zone that makes enemies slide. It also slows down their movement and weapon usage. |
Camouflage |

When standing still, Yvette can turn invisible. However, moving or having opponents get close will break her camouflage. |
Recommended Loadout for Yvette
Yvette’s ideal loadout includes two SMGs, a Healing Grenade, and a Frag Grenade. Players can enhance the primary SMG, Beareas, for improved performance in combat.
The Beareas SMG offers strong range and damage. However, its rapid rate of fire can quickly empty the magazine, necessitating an upgrade. Follow this upgrade order for optimal performance with Yvette:

Avoid changing Yvette’s secondary weapon, as having two SMGs is strategic. If you run low on ammo, you’ll still have a backup weapon with similar fire rates and decent damage. Instead, consider modifying her throwable options.
Keep the Frag Grenade in her loadout and replace the Healing Grenade with a Smoke Bomb. The Smoke Bomb can help you escape tough situations and provide cover to strategize your next move.
Tips for Mastering Yvette Gameplay
Even though Yvette is classified as a Controller in Strinova, approach gameplay from a Duelist perspective. Her weapon deals substantial damage and can be enhanced by her abilities. When deploying Fay (her Active Skill), collaborate with teammates to focus on the weakened areas created by Yvette.
Utilize her camouflage ability frequently to surprise opponents. You can also use Fay as a temporary shield, allowing you to take cover in gunfights; with 700 HP, Fay can absorb a significant amount of damage for Yvette.
