Best Echo Sets for Lynae

5pc

Pact of Neonlight Leap

Hyvatia

Best for Sub-DPS Lynae. Increases her buffing capability so the main DPS deals more damage. Synergizes with Hyvatia's All-Type DMG bonus for the next Resonator.

5pc

Moonlit Clouds

Impermanence Heron

General sub-DPS option and good placeholder. Provides Energy Regen and ATK to the next Resonator; slightly worse than Pact of Neonlight Leap.

5pc

Rite of Gilded Revelation

Hyvatia

Spectro-focused set that boosts Lynae's own damage (Spectro DMG and Basic Attack DMG). Good for main DPS Lynae but ranks third for the sub-DPS/support 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 when using Intro Skill, which synergizes with Lynae's buff/support playstyle.

Impermanence Heron

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

Jué

Summon-type Echo that grants additional Resonance Skill DMG and deals Spectro DMG based on that scaling. Easy to input with Lynae's combos but less optimal than Hyvatia for her primary role.

Best Stats for Lynae Echoes

Best Tips & Tricks for Lynae

Lynae scales primarily with Crit (Rate/DMG), Spectro DMG, and ATK — get these on main stats and roll Crit/ATK on substats.

Aim for ~120% Energy Regen for consistent rotations and access to Liberation when needed.

For sub-DPS/support playstyle use Pact of Neonlight Leap + Hyvatia to maximize All-Type DMG amplification for the next Resonator.

If you don't have Pact of Neonlight Leap, Moonlit Clouds is a viable placeholder (Impermanence Heron as main echo).

Spectrum Blaster is her best-in-slot weapon (boosts ATK, Basic Attack DMG and grants strong team All-DMG amplification).

Use Basic Attack - Spark Collision to enter Kaleidoscopic Parade and manage Overflow/Lumiflow for high output; Forte upgrades significantly increase damage.

When using Resonance Liberation (Prismatic Overblast), it grants 24% DMG to nearby Resonators for 30s — great for team support windows.

If building Lynae as main DPS, equip Rite of Gilded Revelation to enhance her Spectro/Basic Attack scaling.

Best Teams for Lynae

Lynae Tune Rupture Team

Set Aemeath and Lynae to be in Tune Rupture Mode via the in-game Character Menu. Team focuses on funneling buffs into Aemeath's Tune Rupture windows; timing of Outros, Liberations, and Heavy Attack charge windows is critical for maximum damage.

Team Echo Sets: Aemeath — Trailblazing Star (5-pc); Lynae — Pact of Neonlight Leap (5-pc); Mornye — Halo of Starry Radiance (5-pc)., Purpose: Aemeath is the primary Tune Rupture DPS, providing additional instances to trigger Tune Rupture damage. Lynae serves as the sub-DPS/support that supplies All DMG buffs, Resonance Liberation DMG amplification, and Tune Break Boost. Mornye speeds Off-Tune buildup and provides further All DMG amplification and utility (heals/support)., Key synergy: Mornye increases Off-Tune Buildup Rate and deploys High Syntony Field interactions to enable frequent Tune Break windows for Aemeath; Lynae maximizes damage during those windows via amplification and team-wide buffs., General Rotation:, 1) Start combat with Mornye: fill her Rest Mass Energy with 3 Basic Attacks, then Heavy Attack to enter Wide Field Observation Mode., 2) In Wide Field Observation Mode: do 3 Basic Attacks -> Mornye Resonance Skill. Cancel endlag with Liberation to generate High Syntony Field., 3) After High Syntony Field is deployed: Heavy Attack, then switch to Lynae via Outro., 4) On Lynae: immediately use Resonance Skill to max Overflow stacks., 5) Use Lynae Liberation to deal damage and give a team-wide buff, then Basic Attack., 6) With Overflow full: hold Heavy Attack for ~1.6s to convert to max Lumiflow, release to deal damage and enter Kaleidoscopic Parade., 7) In Parade state: jump three times to perform 3 Polychrome Leaps to generate True Color stacks., 8) With 3 stacks: do a mid-air attack to deal big damage, then switch to Aemeath with her Outro., 9) On Aemeath entry: do 2 Basic Attacks -> Resonance Liberation to gain 2 Resonance Rate Forte stacks., 10) Do 3 Basic Attacks -> enhanced Resonance Skill; repeat to get remaining Forte stacks (do twice total)., 11) With 4 stacks: hold Heavy Attack to fill Forte instantly, then cast second Resonance Liberation to deal huge damage, then exit via Outro., 12) Repeat the rotation until enemies are defeated.

Lynae Sun and Moon Team

This composition trades some sustain for high damage synergy but remains viable due to Iuno's heals/shields and Augusta's shields. Timing of state switches (Iuno) and Outs/Intros is important to maximize chained amplifications.

Augusta

Main DPS

Iuno

Sub-DPS

Lynae

Sub-DPS

Team Echo Sets: Augusta — Crown of Valor (3-pc) + Void Thunder (2-pc); Iuno — Crown of Valor (3-pc) + Sierra Gale (2-pc); Lynae — Pact of Neonlight Leap (5-pc)., Purpose & synergy: Lynae provides strong party-wide buffs and contributes personal damage. Iuno supplies heals and shields to maintain survivability. The team's Outros and skill interactions chain to maximize the next resonator's damage:, 1) Lynae gives 15% All DMG Amplification and 25% Resonance Liberation DMG Amplification to Iuno., 2) Iuno gives 50% Heavy Attack DMG Amplification to Augusta., 3) Augusta gives 15% DMG Amplification for all Attributes to Lynae., General Rotation:, 1) Begin with Augusta and build her Concerto Energy via attacks, then switch to Lynae when her Intro is available., 2) On Lynae entry: immediately use Resonance Skill to max Overflow., 3) Use Lynae Liberation for team-wide buff and follow with a Basic Attack., 4) Hold Lynae Heavy Attack ~1.6s to convert Overflow into Lumiflow, release to enter Kaleidoscopic Parade., 5) In Parade: jump 3 times for Polychrome Leaps to get True Color stacks; with 3 stacks do a mid-air attack then switch to Iuno via Outro., 6) On Iuno: use Resonance Skill to activate Lunar Cycle, switch moon states by jumping to New Moon as needed., 7) In New Moon: cast Liberation to generate Sentience, consume with 3 Basic Attacks and 2 Resonance Skills., 8) Do a Heavy Attack to generate Full Moon Domain and switch to Augusta via Outro., 9) As Augusta: use Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks, Echo Skill, Resonance Skill(s) and Liberation (Tap) combos to fill Ascendancy and deal damage; perform plunging attack and hold Liberation to enter Sworn Allegiance (~7s) then deal Sunborne Slashes and cast Everbright Protector., 10) Repeat rotation; optional: do one extra Heavy Attack combo (HA + BA2-4) before repeating for additional damage.

Lynae Main DPS Team

This build is heavily reliant on the Off-Tune mechanic and precise timing between Mornye, Sanhua, and Lynae. You can replace Mornye with Shorekeeper for more crit/DMG buffs instead of tune-specific enhancements.

Lynae

Main DPS

Sanhua

Sub-DPS

Mornye

Support

Team Echo Sets: Lynae — Rite of Gilded Revelation (5-pc); Sanhua — Moonlit Clouds (5-pc); Mornye — Halo of Starry Radiance (5-pc)., Purpose: This comp runs Lynae as the main DPS, using Mornye to accelerate Off-Tune buildup so Lynae can trigger Tune Break frequently. Sanhua serves as a sub-DPS that amplifies Lynae's Basic Attack damage via her Outro., Key interactions: Mornye massively increases Off-Tune buildup rate, applies Interfered Marker (increasing DMG taken by marked enemies) and provides heals. Sanhua's Outro amplifies Basic Attack damage, synergizing with Lynae's playstyle., General Rotation:, 1) Start with Mornye: fill Rest Mass Energy with 3 Basic Attacks, then Heavy Attack to enter Wide Field Observation Mode., 2) In that mode: do 3 Basic Attacks -> Resonance Skill; cancel endlag with Liberation to generate High Syntony Field., 3) After High Syntony Field is up: do a Heavy Attack then switch to Sanhua., 4) On Sanhua: use Resonance Skill and Liberation to create Ice Structures, detonate with Heavy Attack; once Concerto is full, switch to Lynae., 5) On Lynae: use Resonance Skill on entry to quickly fill Forte, then Liberation for team buff and damage, followed by a Basic Attack., 6) With Forte full: hold Heavy Attack ~1.6s to convert Overflow to Lumiflow, release to enter Kaleidoscopic Parade., 7) In Parade: perform 3 Polychrome Leaps (3 jumps) to get True Color stacks; with 3 stacks do a mid-air empowered attack then switch back to Mornye., 8) Repeat until enemies are defeated.
