Best Echo Sets for Lynae

5pc

Pact of Neonlight Leap

Hyvatia

Best for sub-DPS. Maximizes her buffing capability and pairs well with Hyvatia's All-Type DMG bonus to the next Resonator.

5pc

Moonlit Clouds

Impermanence Heron

Good general sub-DPS option and a solid placeholder while farming the new set. Provides Energy Regen and ATK to the next Resonator.

5pc

Rite of Gilded Revelation

Hyvatia

Spectro-focused set that boosts Lynae's own damage (Spectro DMG, Basic Attack DMG). Viable for main-DPS playstyle.

Lynae's Best Primary Echo

Hyvatia

Best option. Summon-type Echo that deals Spectro DMG and grants an additional 10% All-Type DMG Bonus to the next Resonator upon using Intro Skill, synergizing with Lynae's supportive/sub-DPS role.

Impermanence Heron

Second option (good with Moonlit Clouds). Transform-type Echo that increases damage dealt to the next Resonator and provides Resonance Energy; requires weaving into combos.

Jué

Summon-type Echo that grants Resonance Skill DMG and deals Spectro DMG based on Resonance Skill — usable but less optimal than Hyvatia for her primary synergy.

Best Tips & Tricks for Lynae

Lynae functions best as a sub-DPS/buffer: she provides a large All DMG Amplification to the next Resonator and still deals excellent personal damage.

Preferred main stats: Crit (Rate or DMG) on 4-cost, Spectro DMG (or Energy Regen) on 3-cost, ATK% on 1-cost. Prioritize substats in the order: Crit Rate → Crit DMG → Basic Attack DMG → ATK% → Energy Regen → Flat ATK.

Aim for roughly 120% Resonance Energy to keep consistent rotations and Liberation uptime.

Hyvatia synergizes extremely well with her kit (Spectro damage + All-Type DMG bonus to next Resonator). Impermanence Heron is a good secondary option if using Moonlit Clouds.

Spectrum Blaster is her signature best-in-slot weapon — it raises ATK and increases Basic Attack DMG while providing a team All DMG bonus. Phasic Homogenizer and Static Mist are the strongest alternatives.

Upgrade Forte Circuit first, then Resonance Liberation, then Normal Attack / Resonance Skill. Intro skill can be left last.

Best Teams for Lynae

Liberation Main DPS Team

Primary loop: Mornye -> Lynae -> Iuno -> Mornye. Focus is on enabling frequent Tune Breaks and amplifying Resonance Liberation damage; can swap Mornye for Shorekeeper if you prefer extra crit/DMG buffs over Tune Break optimization.

Team role summary: Mornye provides high Off-Tune buildup rate and team sustain; Lynae increases Tune Break DMG, provides Resonance Liberation DMG and All-Type DMG Amplification to Iuno; Iuno is the primary burst DPS and contributes team heals., Sustain/niche: Sustain is comfortable because both Mornye and Iuno provide team-wide heals; team focuses on frequently triggering Tune Break and funneling buffs into Iuno., Rotation Step 1: Begin combat with Mornye — do three Basic Attacks to generate max Rest Mass Energy, then do a Heavy Attack to enter Wide Field Observation Mode., Rotation Step 2: In Wide Field Observation Mode, cast three enhanced Basic Attacks, then Mornye's Resonance Skill. Cast Mornye's Liberation to upgrade her Syntony Field., Rotation Step 3: Once High Syntony Field is deployed, quickly cast a Heavy Attack and switch to Lynae via Outro., Rotation Step 4: On Lynae, immediately cast Resonance Skill to max Overflow stacks., Rotation Step 5: Use Lynae's Liberation to deal damage and generate a team-wide buff, then do a Basic Attack., Rotation Step 6: With Overflow full, hold a Heavy Attack for 1.6s to reach max Lumiflow, release to deal damage and enter Kaleidoscopic Parade., Rotation Step 7: In Kaleidoscopic Parade, jump three times to perform three Polychrome Leaps to generate True Color stacks., Rotation Step 8: With three stacks, do a mid-air attack to deal big damage, then switch out to Iuno with Lynae's Outro., Rotation Step 9: As Iuno enters via Intro, immediately cast Resonance Skill to activate Lunar Cycle, then jump to enter New Moon state., Rotation Step 10: In New Moon, use one Enhanced Skill instance to consume Sentience before casting Liberation to generate more., Rotation Step 11: After Liberation, do three Basic Attacks into one Enhanced Skill, then use remaining Sentience with three more Basic Attacks., Rotation Step 12: Once Iuno's Concerto is full, switch back to Mornye and repeat the cycle until enemies are defeated.

Lynae Sun and Moon Team

Tradeoff: team sacrifices some sustain by not running a heavy healer like Mornye/Shorekeeper, but Iuno and Augusta provide enough healing/shields to keep the party afloat. The team focuses on chaining Outros to maximize buff inheritance between characters.

Augusta

Main DPS

Iuno

Sub-DPS

Lynae

Sub-DPS

Team role summary: Lynae provides All DMG Amplification and Resonance Liberation DMG Amplification (benefiting Iuno), Iuno grants Heavy Attack DMG amplification for Augusta, and Augusta provides an All-Attribute DMG Amplification to Lynae — their Outros chain to maximize each other's damage buffs., Synergy highlights: 1) Lynae → +15% All DMG and +25% Resonance Liberation DMG to Iuno. 2) Iuno → +50% Heavy Attack DMG to Augusta. 3) Augusta → +15% All-Attribute DMG to Lynae., Rotation Step 1: Begin with Augusta, build Concerto via attacks, then switch to Lynae once her Intro is available., Rotation Step 2: On Lynae, use Resonance Skill immediately to max Overflow stacks, then use Liberation for team buff and damage followed by a Basic Attack., Rotation Step 3: Hold Lynae Heavy Attack for 1.6s to convert Overflow to Lumiflow, release to enter Kaleidoscopic Parade; jump 3 times to generate True Color stacks and do a mid-air enhanced attack, then switch to Iuno via Outro., Rotation Step 4: On Iuno, use Resonance Skill to activate Lunar Cycle and enter New Moon by jumping; cast Liberation to generate Sentience and consume it with Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill instances., Rotation Step 5: After filling Iuno's Concerto, switch to Augusta. Use Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks, Echo Skill, Resonance Skill and Liberation (Tap), then Heavy Attack combos to fill Ascendancy and perform her plunging attack and Sworn Allegiance sequence for sustained high damage., Rotation Step 6: Repeat rotation; optional: do one extra Heavy Attack combo before looping for additional damage.

Lynae Main DPS Team

This team is Off-Tune/Tune Break-focused. Mornye is crucial for maximizing Tune Break frequency and applying damage-increasing markers; Sanhua's Outro boosts Lynae's Basic Attack damage, making this a strong Main DPS-centric loop. Swap Mornye for Shorekeeper if you prefer raw crit/DMG buffs over Tune Break optimization.

Sanhua

Mornye

Support

Team role summary: Mornye boosts Off-Tune buildup rate (enabling frequent Tune Breaks) and applies Interfered Marker damage increase and heals; Sanhua amplifies Basic Attack DMG for Lynae via her Outro; Lynae is the primary damage dealer using Tune Break/Overflow/Lumiflow mechanics., Rotation Step 1: Start with Mornye and fill Rest Mass Energy with three Basic Attacks, then Heavy Attack into Wide Field Observation Mode., Rotation Step 2: In Wide Field Observation Mode, perform three Basic Attacks, then Mornye's Resonance Skill; cancel endlag with Liberation to generate High Syntony Field., Rotation Step 3: When High Syntony Field is up, Heavy Attack then switch to Sanhua., Rotation Step 4: On Sanhua, cast Resonance Skill and Liberation to spawn Ice Structures, detonate with a Heavy Attack; once Concerto is full, switch to Lynae., Rotation Step 5: On Lynae, use Resonance Skill on entry to fill Forte, then use Liberation for team buff and damage followed by a Basic Attack., Rotation Step 6: With Forte full, hold Heavy Attack for 1.6s to convert Overflow to Lumiflow, release to enter Kaleidoscopic Parade; jump 3 times to do Polychrome Leaps and generate True Color stacks., Rotation Step 7: With three True Color stacks, do a mid-air empowered attack, then switch back to Mornye and repeat the cycle.
