Best Echo Sets for Lynae

Pact of Neonlight Leap
5pc
Pact of Neonlight Leap

Best for sub-DPS/buffer Lynae. Increases her buffing capability (All DMG Amplification) so the main DPS deals more. Synergizes well with Hyvatia's next-Resonator All-Type DMG bonus.

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

Solid general sub-DPS set. Provides Energy Regen and additional ATK to the next Resonator — good temporary/alternate option while farming the new set.

Rite of Gilded Revelation
5pc
Rite of Gilded Revelation

Spectro-focused set that boosts Lynae's personal damage (Spectro DMG and Basic Attack DMG). Good if running her as main DPS.

Lynae's Best Primary Echo

Hyvatia

Hyvatia

Best option. Summon-type Echo (easy to weave), deals Spectro DMG, and grants an additional 10% All-Type DMG Bonus to the next Resonator after using Intro Skill — excellent for her sub-DPS/buffer role.

Impermanence Heron

Impermanence Heron

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

Jué

Jué

Summon-type Echo that grants extra Resonance Skill DMG and inflicts Spectro DMG based on that. Useful but not her primary damage source.

Best Tips & Tricks for Lynae

Lynae excels as a sub-DPS that also provides a powerful team All DMG Amplification — she can fit into many teams and often improves overall team damage.
Primary stat priorities: Crit (Rate/DMG) > Spectro DMG > ATK. Substat priority: CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Basic Attack DMG, ATK%, Energy Regen.
Aim for ~120% Resonance Energy to keep rotations smooth and ensure timely Liberations/skills.
Hyvatia is the best main Echo for her playstyle because it deals Spectro DMG and boosts the next Resonator's All-Type DMG; Impermanence Heron is the secondary choice if using Moonlit Clouds.
Best weapon: Spectrum Blaster (signature) — it provides ATK, CRIT Rate, boosts Basic Attack DMG and grants a team All DMG bonus. Phasic Homogenizer and Static Mist are strong alternatives.
Upgrade Forte Circuit first (primary damage source), then Resonance Liberation, then Normal Attack / Resonance Skill; Intro Skill is last priority.
When building echoes, follow the recommended cost pattern (4 3 3 1 1) and get a 4-cost CRIT piece with two 3-cost Spectro DMG pieces and two 1-cost ATK% pieces for highest damage.

Best Teams for Lynae

Tune Rupture

Aemeath is the premier Tune Rupture DPS; Lynae functions as sub-DPS that provides All DMG, Resonance Liberation DMG amplification, and Tune Break Boost. Mornye increases Off-Tune buildup rate and provides All DMG buffs. Set both Aemeath and Lynae to Tune Rupture Mode in the Character Menu.

Enable Tune Rupture mode for Aemeath and Lynae in the Character Menu before play., Start on Mornye: do 3 Basic Attacks to fill Rest Mass Energy, then Heavy Attack to enter Wide Field Observation Mode., In-air: 3 Basic Attacks → Mornye Resonance Skill, cancel endlag with Liberation to generate High Syntony Field., Heavy Attack → switch to Lynae via Outro. On Lynae: Resonance Skill to max Overflow → Liberation → Basic Attack., Charge Lynae Heavy Attack for ~1.6s to convert Overflow to Lumiflow → release to enter Kaleidoscopic Parade; perform 3 jumps (Polychrome Leaps) to generate True Color stacks → mid-air attack and switch to Aemeath., On Aemeath: 2 Basic Attacks → Resonance Liberation to gain Resonance Rate Forte stacks; repeat enhanced Resonance Skill strings to reach 4 stacks → hold Heavy Attack to fill Forte → Resonance Liberation for large damage → Outro off-field., Repeat rotation, focusing casts so Aemeath gets maximum Tune Rupture instances and Lynae/Mornye supply All DMG & Tune Break Boosts.

Tune Strain

All three members (Luuk, Lynae, Mornye) can respond to Tune Strain; with them together Tune Strain multipliers and Tune Break Boost greatly increase damage. Lynae and Mornye provide broad All DMG amplification to Luuk.

Support

Set Lynae to Tune Strain Mode in the Character Skills menu before play., Begin on Mornye: 3 Basic Attacks → Heavy Attack (Wide Field Observation) → in-air 3 Basic Attacks → Resonance Skill → cancel with Liberation to deploy High Syntony Field., Cast enhanced Heavy Attack on Mornye, switch to Lynae via Outro: Resonance Skill to max Overflow → Liberation → charge Heavy Attack to convert Overflow into Lumiflow → enter Kaleidoscopic Parade and generate True Color stacks via 3 jumps → mid-air attack → switch to Luuk., On Luuk: Intro gives max Ichor Flow; use Jump-based Scythe strings and enhanced Resonance Skill rotations (repeat to deploy Ichor Deposits), detonate deposits with plunging attacks, then perform Liberation when ready for massive damage., Repeat rotation, using Lynae and Mornye to funnel All DMG and Tune Break multipliers to Luuk.

Sun and Moon

Team synergy relies on sequential Outros — each next Resonator amplifies the previous one's damage. Use Iuno and Augusta to cover sustain while Lynae supplies broad damage amplification and personal DPS.

This composition trades some sustain for higher damage; Iuno provides heals/shields if needed., Start on Augusta to build Concerto Energy, then switch to Lynae when her Intro is available., On Lynae: Resonance Skill → Liberation → charge Heavy Attack (~1.6s) → enter Kaleidoscopic Parade → 3 Polychrome Leaps → mid-air enhanced attack → switch to Iuno., On Iuno: use Resonance Skill to cycle Moon states, enter New Moon via jump → Liberation to generate Sentience → consume via Basic Attacks and Resonance Skills → Heavy Attack to generate Full Moon Domain → switch to Augusta., On Augusta: use Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks, Echo Skill, Resonance Skill(s) and Liberation (held) to enter Sworn Allegiance and deal damage during the paused-time window. Repeat rotation., Synergy summary: Lynae gives +15% All DMG and +25% Resonance Liberation DMG Amplification to Iuno; Iuno grants +50% Heavy Attack DMG to Augusta; Augusta gives +15% All-Attribute DMG to Lynae.

Lynae Main DPS

Main DPS Lynae relies on Off-Tune mechanics; Mornye greatly increases Off-Tune buildup and provides healing and Interfered-marker damage increase. Sanhua is used to buff Basic Attack damage for Lynae.

This team focuses on Lynae as the primary carry with Mornye increasing Off-Tune buildup so Tune Break occurs frequently., Start on Mornye: 3 Basic Attacks → Heavy Attack → in-air 3 Basic Attacks → Resonance Skill → cancel with Liberation to deploy High Syntony Field, then Heavy Attack and switch to Sanhua., On Sanhua: use Resonance Skill and Liberation to spawn Ice Structures, detonate with Heavy Attack, then switch to Lynae when Sanhua's Concerto is full., On Lynae: Resonance Skill on entry → Liberation → charge Heavy Attack (~1.6s) to convert Overflow to Lumiflow → Kaleidoscopic Parade → 3 Polychrome Leaps → mid-air enhanced attack → switch back to Mornye and repeat., Sanhua's Outro amplifies Basic Attack damage which benefits Lynae during her windows.
