Snowbreak: Containment Zone Lyfe - Wild Hunt Build
This 5-star (orange-tier) version of Lyfe has outstanding crowd-control abilities, thanks to her reliable application of the Freeze effect that also immobilizes enemies for a short amount of time. In this build guide, we will discuss Lyfe-Wild Hunt's build - her recommended weapons, logistic officers, and priority neural skills.
Snowbreak: Containment Zone - Lyfe Wild Hunt Description
Weapon: SMG
Skill DMG Type: Frost
Role(s): Crowd-control, medium-range DPS
Lyfe-WH can launch numerous homing Frost Fangs that trigger small explosions upon impact. The number of Frost Fangs she can fire at a time and the chance of freezing and immobilizing enemies can be improved through neuronics and manifestations. In fact, all of her Manifestation levels are geared towards the improvement of her Frost Fangs, like decreased ammo consumption, increased ammo capacity, and enhanced damage.
Her support skill allows her to damage all enemies around the player while also freezing and applying DoT on them. Finally, her burst deals massive Frost damage and freezes enemies within range. She's still using an SMG (submachine gun) as well, offering great rate of fire at short and medium ranges. Lyfe - Wild Hunt is one of the free 5-star operatives you can get from the Elite Recruit event.
Snowbreak: Containment Zone - Lyfe Wild Hunt Recommended Weapons
Lyfe-WH's signature weapon is Stardust Memory. This SMG's effect increases Frost DMG while stacking up counters that further increases Lyfe's standard skill damage. The effect takes advantage of Lyfe's standard skill has relatively low cooldown, allowing her to maximize its effect through frequent skill usage.
Weapon Alternative(s)
For the top alternative, it seems to be the 100 Battle Veteran. This 5-star Chaos SMG gives a direct 18% ATK boost, with its ballistic damage increases as its magazine or ammo count decreases. Even if its element is different from Lyfe's standard skill, she can still take advantage of its damage-boosting effects.
Homecoming is a 4-star Kinetic SMG that just straight up increases Lyfe's ATK by a small percentage every second. At tier 1, the max number of stacks is reached after 6 seconds, giving Lyfe a considerable 27% ATK increase.

Snowbreak: Containment Zone - Lyfe Wild Hunt Recommended Logistic Officers
Lyfe-WH's recommended logistics squad is the Thebes Squad (Dawn, Khonsu, and Mut). Their 2-officer effect boosts Active Skill DMG, while the full squad provides a stackable ATK boost each time ANY standard skill, support, or ultimate skill is used. The boost only lasts for a few seconds but since it can be stacked easily, Lyfe gains a significant damage boost from this squad.
Logistic Officer Alternative(s)
As an alternative, you can consider using the Blacksmith Squad (Lissia, Titania, and White Hunt). Two of these officers increase Standard Skill DMG while the full squad increases elemental skill DMG (electrical, frost, and thermal).

Snowbreak: Containment Zone - Lyfe Wild Hunt Neuronics
For Lyfe-Wild Hunt's neural skills, we recommend to prioritize the following:
- Control (Standard)
- DMG (Standard)
- Control (Ultimate)
- Special (Ultimate) or Range (Support)
Lyfe-WH's Frost Wolves active skill allows her to deal significant extra damage so increasing their chance to apply Frozen to enemies hit by this skill will help her control the battlefield. The second skill simply increases the final DMG of Frost Wolves once her skill charge is full.
Next, the Control effect of her ultimate increases the duration of her ultimate attack and its freeze duration so after getting the two neural skills for her Standard skill, this is a good buff to go next.
For the fourth neural skill, it really depends if you're using Lyfe-WH on-field most of the time or not. If you're using her most of the time on-field, then you can get the second neural skill for her Ultimate (Special). Otherwise, if you're more into switching between your operatives and rely on their support skills, then increasing the range and DoT (damage-over-time) duration of Lyfe's support skill will be better.

Snowbreak: Containment Zone - Lyfe Wild Hunt Summary
Lyfe is an excellent crowd-control operative thanks to her barrage of frost projectiles and capacity to restrict enemy action thanks to her freeze effect. Like most top-tier operatives, weapons, logistics, and neuronics should be built around her kit since that's how she'll shine the most.
