Wuthering Waves Lynae Build Guide
A Startorch Academy prep student whose head-turning, electric style hides an inner focus as explosive as a coiled spring.
Best Echo Sets for Lynae
Best for sub-DPS. Maximizes her buffing capability and pairs well with Hyvatia's All-Type DMG bonus to the next Resonator.
Good general sub-DPS option and a solid placeholder while farming the new set. Provides Energy Regen and ATK to the next Resonator.
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.
