Mastering Lynette in Genshin Impact: Best Builds and Team Compositions

Lynette's Abilities and Unique Mechanics

Elemental Skill

Press: Performs a quick Anemo attack with high damage scaling.

Hold: Enables movement for up to 2.5 seconds, ending with an Anemo thrust on a single target.

Ousia Aligned Damage (Surging Blade): This thrust deals Ousia aligned damage, useful against specific Fontaine enemies, disabling some mechanics.

‍

HP Conversion Mechanic

Using the skill heals Lynette for 25% of her max HP initially.

Afterwards, she loses 6% of her current HP per second for 4 seconds.

The net result is usually a health gain, as the HP loss is based on current HP, not max.

‍

Elemental Burst

Summons an AoE damage box that deals continuous Anemo damage.

Can taunt enemies, attracting their attention.

Infuses with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro elements, dealing additional damage of the infused element.

‍

Passive Talents

Provides an attack bonus to the party based on the variety of elements present.

Increases burst damage when it infuses with an element.

‍

Talent Prioritization

Elemental Skill (Enigmatic Feint)

Prioritize this first.

It's her main utility tool, offering healing, Ousia aligned damage, and Anemo damage.

Upgrading increases its damage output and healing efficiency.

‍

Elemental Burst (Magic Trick: Astonishing Shift)

Next in priority.

Enhances its Anemo damage and, by extension, its infused elemental damage.

Upgrading increases the damage output during the burst's duration and makes it a more effective taunt and crowd control tool.

‍

Normal Attacks

Lowest priority.

Lynette's role as a support means she rarely uses normal attacks.

Only consider upgrading if you have her at a high constellation level (particularly C6) and plan to use her more actively in combat.

‍

Best Artifacts for Lynette

Ideal for maximizing Lynette's Anemo support capabilities.

Perfect for teams where Lynette's role is to boost elemental damage through Swirl.

‍

Considerations

• The choice of weapon for Lynette largely depends on her role in the team.
