Fan and Fire: Lynette's Signature Moves

Lynette is armed with two distinct fan skills. The first is a simple, yet effective two-hit single-target fan attack. The second, 'Bemusing Strut, is a more complex three-hit single-target fan skill that also inflicts a 15% magic defense down for two turns.

When it comes to her fire skills, Lynette is no less impressive. Her arsenal includes a powerful one-hit nuke, a one-hit AoE, a three-hit random target, and a two-hit AoE that drops fire defense by 15%.

Lynette's Role: Support Over DPS

While Lynette's potent skills might suggest a potential for a DPS role, her true strength lies in support.

Her utility skills are so powerful that they outshine her capacity for DPS.

‍

Ultimate and Brave Fan: Boosting Lynette's Power

Lynette's power surged after ultimates were added to the game.

Her ultimate at level 1, which gives all allies a 10% increase in attack, magic, and speed for two turns, can scale up to 20% for three turns at level 10. When paired with the "Bravely Fan" weapon, these buffs can last for an extra turn!

Choosing the Right Position and Pairing for Lynette

The strategic placement of Lynette at the start of a fight can significantly impact the battle's outcome.

In quick fights, starting with Lynette in the back row allows her to swap to the front row at the turn's start.

For longer, more challenging fights, Lynette performs better starting in the front row.

When it comes to pairing, Lynette pairs well with utility units like Viola or regen caster Alfyn, who don't need to act every turn to be useful.
