Best Echo Sets for Lynae

Pact of Neonlight Leap
5pc
Pact of Neonlight Leap

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

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

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

Rite of Gilded Revelation
5pc
Rite of Gilded Revelation

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

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

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

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

Lynae Sun and Moon Team

Lynae significantly boosts Augusta + Iuno by providing many buffs plus her own damage. Team sustain is handled by Iuno's heals and shields and Augusta's shields. Outros/resonator chain: (1) Lynae grants 15% All DMG and 25% Resonance Liberation DMG Amplification to Iuno; (2) Iuno grants 50% Heavy Attack DMG Amplification to Augusta; (3) Augusta grants 15% DMG Amplification for all attributes to Lynae. This loop maximizes mutual DMG amplification.

Begin combat with Augusta and build up her Concerto Energy via her attacks. Switch to Lynae once her Intro is available., When Lynae enters via Intro, immediately use her Resonance Skill to max Overflow stacks., Use Lynae's Liberation to deal damage and grant the team-wide buff, then follow with a Basic Attack., With Overflow maxed, charge Lynae's Heavy Attack for 1.6s to convert it to Lumiflow, let go to deal damage and enter Kaleidoscopic Parade., In Parade state, jump 3 times to perform Polychrome Leaps and generate True Color stacks., With three True Color stacks, perform a mid-air attack (enhanced) then switch to Iuno via Outro., When Iuno enters via Intro, immediately use Resonance Skill to activate Lunar Cycle and switch to New Moon by jumping., In New Moon, cast Liberation to generate Sentience, consume with three Basic Attacks and two Resonance Skill instances., Do a Heavy Attack to generate Full Moon Domain and switch to Augusta via Outro., As Augusta, use Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks, cast Echo Skill, then Resonance Skill and Liberation (Tap). Do Heavy Attack combos to fill Ascendancy stacks and perform her 3-attack Resonance Skill combo when available., After the plunging attack, hold Liberation to enter Sworn Allegiance (7s time pause). During it, deal Sunborne Slashes and cast Everbright Protector., Repeat rotation until enemies are defeated. Optional: do one extra Heavy Attack combo (HA + BA2-4) before repeating rotation for more damage.

Liberation Main DPS Team

Lynae provides strong support for any Resonance Liberation DMG-focused DPS with her All DMG buffs and an additional 25% Resonance Liberation DMG Amplification. Iuno is a strong main DPS here, but Xiangli Yao or Calcharo can replace Iuno to the same benefit.

Start with Shorekeeper and build her Concerto and Resonance Energy via optimal combos. Cast her Liberation (Stellarealm) then exit via Outro to Lynae., As Lynae, use Resonance Skill to reach max Overflow stacks, then cast Liberation for damage and the team-wide buff. Follow with a Basic Attack., With Overflow full, charge Lynae's Heavy Attack for 1.6s to convert Overflow to Lumiflow, deal damage and enter Kaleidoscopic Parade., In Parade, jump 3 times to perform Polychrome Leaps and generate True Color stacks. With three stacks, do a Mid-Air Attack (enhanced) then switch to Iuno via Outro., When Iuno enters, immediately cast Resonance Skill to activate Lunar Cycle and jump to New Moon., In New Moon, use an Enhanced Skill to consume some Sentience, then cast Liberation to generate more., After Liberation, do three Basic Attacks into one Enhanced Skill, then finish remaining Sentience with three more Basic Attacks for damage., Once Iuno's Concerto is full, switch back to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm., Repeat until enemies are defeated.

Lynae Main DPS Team

Running Lynae as main DPS benefits from heavy Basic Attack damage buffs; Sanhua is a strong sub-DPS because she provides detonation burst and consistent synergy with Lynae's BA-focused scaling. Shorekeeper remains the primary support for healing and general DMG buffs.

Initiate with Shorekeeper and perform her optimal combos to generate Concerto and Resonance Energy. Cast Stellarealm Liberation and exit to Sanhua via Outro., On field, have Sanhua use Resonance Skill and Liberation to deploy Ice Structures, then use Heavy Attack: Detonate to blow them up., When Lynae's Intro is ready, switch to Lynae. Cast Resonance Skill to fill her Forte quickly., Use Lynae's Liberation to deal damage and grant team-wide buffs, follow with a Basic Attack to trigger an enhanced attack., When Forte is full, hold Lynae's Heavy Attack for 1.6s to convert Overflow into Lumiflow, release to deal damage and enter Kaleidoscopic Parade., In Parade, jump 3 times to perform Polychrome Leaps and generate True Color stacks. With three stacks, perform a Mid-Air Attack to cast Visual Impact or Iridescent Splash., Switch back to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm and continue the rotation., Repeat until enemies are defeated.
