Tier	B (Support) / A (C6 Main)

Lynette is a Multi-Function Magic Assistant who provides Anemo support with a side of Ousia utility. While often overshadowed by Kazuha or Sucrose in pure buffing, Lynette offers unique ATK buffs based on elemental variety, a taunting summon, and at C6, she unlocks Anemo Infusion to become a stylish on-field driver.

Pros

Free Unit (Given at AR 25).
Strong exploration utility (Speed dash).
C6 unlocks Anemo Infusion for DPS builds.
Synergizes with Furina (HP Drain/Heal mechanic).
Unique Taunt mechanic on Burst distracts enemies.

Cons

Lower crowd control than Sucrose/Kazuha (until C1).
Burst does not snapshot.
Single-target focused Skill.
Requires C6 to be a viable Main DPS.

Quick Guide (TL;DR)

If you don't have time for the math, here is the cheat sheet.

Best Artifact (Support): 4pc Viridescent Venerer (Mandatory).
Best Artifact (C6 DPS): 4pc Marechaussee Hunter (Furina Team) or 4pc Desert Pavilion.
Best Weapon (Support): Favonius Sword (Battery) or Sacrificial Sword.
Best Weapon (C6 DPS): Mistsplitter Reforged or Primordial Jade Cutter.
F2P Weapon: Fleuve Cendre Ferryman (Fishing Pipe) or Amenoma Kageuchi.
Main Stats: SANDS: ER% or ATK% | GOBLET: Anemo | CIRCLET: CRIT.
Talent Priority: Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack (Only for C6).
Top Team: Lynette + Bennett + Xiangling + Furina/Yelan.

Pro Tip: Element Absorption Priority: Lynette's Bogglecat Box absorbs elements in this order: Cryo > Pyro > Hydro > Electro. This is unique (most Anemo absorb Pyro first). Use this to guarantee Cryo absorption for Freeze teams!

Talent Breakdown & Mechanics

Elemental Skill: Enigmatic Feint

Enigma Thrust: A piercing Anemo strike. Deals Ousia-aligned DMG periodically.
HP Mechanics: Using the Skill restores HP (25% max HP) then drains HP (6% current HP/sec for 4s). This drain allows her to stack the Marechaussee Hunter set buff instantly.
Hold Mode: Enters a running state ("Pilfering Shadow"). Applying marks to enemies allows the Enigma Thrust to teleport to them instantly.

Elemental Burst: Magic Trick: Astonishing Shift

Cost: 70 Energy | Cooldown: 18s | Duration: 12s
Bogglecat Box: Summons a giant cat box that taunts enemies (Crowd Control) and fires Vivid Shots.
Vivid Shot: If the Box absorbs Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it fires heavier element-aligned shots at intervals.

Passive: Sophisticated Synergy

Rainbow Buff: If the party has 1/2/3/4 different Elemental Types (including Anemo), the team's ATK increases by 8%/12%/16%/20% after using Burst. This encourages using her in "Rainbow" teams (e.g., Anemo + Pyro + Hydro + Electro).

Talent Priority Order:

Elemental Burst (Level 9) - Main damage source for Support.
Elemental Skill (Level 8) - Ousia damage and energy.
Normal Attack (Level 1 / 9) - Max this if C6 Main DPS.

Stat Requirements & ER Thresholds

Lynette is energy hungry. As a solo Anemo support, she needs ~200% ER.

Build Type	Weapon	ER Requirement
Solo Anemo (Support)	Favonius Sword	190% - 210%
C6 Main DPS	DPS Weapon	130% - 150% (w/ Faruzan)
Triple Anemo (Lyney)	Any	140% - 160%

Substat Priority (Support):

Energy Recharge (Priority #1)
CRIT Rate (For Favonius)
ATK% / CRIT DMG (For personal damage)
EM (Nice bonus for Swirls)

Substat Priority (C6 DPS):

CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG (Target 60/120+)
ATK%
Energy Recharge

Best Artifacts Comparison

Set Name	Role	Reasoning
4pc Viridescent Venerer (VV)	BiS Support	Standard Anemo Support set. Shreds RES for PECH elements. Mandatory for Taser/National teams.
4pc Marechaussee Hunter	C6 DPS	Her Skill drains and heals HP, instantly triggering the 36% Crit Rate buff. Best for On-Field DPS builds.
4pc Noblesse Oblige	Buffer	Good if another teammate already has VV (e.g. Kazuha/Venti). Boosts team ATK.

Weapon Rankings

Weapon	Type	Performance	Notes
Favonius Sword	ER%	S+ (Support)	Generates particles for the whole team. Best option for Support Lynette.
Mistsplitter Reforged	CRIT DMG	S (C6 DPS)	Best damage option for C6 Main DPS builds. Massive Elemental DMG bonus.
Fleuve Cendre Ferryman	ER%	A (F2P)	Fishing Pipe. Gives ER and Crit Rate for Skill. Ugly but very effective.
Sacrificial Sword	ER%	A	Double E casts allow for better energy generation and more damage.

Constellation Value

Lynette's C6 changes her role completely.

C1: A Cold Blade Like a Shadow - (CC) Enigma Thrust (Skill) generates a vortex that pulls enemies in. Adds Crowd Control to her kit. Very useful.
C2: Endless Mysteries - (App) Bogglecat Box (Burst) fires 2 Vivid Shots instead of 1. Doubles her elemental application. Crucial for reaction teams.
C6: Watchful Eye - (DPS Mode) Using Skill grants Anemo Infusion and 20% Anemo DMG Bonus for 6s. This turns her into an Anemo Keqing/Alhaitham driver.

Verdict: C1 is a great QoL. C6 opens up a whole new playstyle.

Top Team Compositions

1. Lyney Mono Pyro

Main DPS: Lyney
Buffer: Bennett
Defense: Dehya / Zhongli
Support: Lynette

Why it works: Lynette provides Anemo VV Shred, Taunt (Box), and ATK buff (Passive). Since she is not Pyro, she satisfies the "Elemental Variety" check to grant Lyney ATK buffs while still shredding Pyro RES.

2. C6 Anemo Driver (Taser/National)

Driver: Lynette (C6)
Sub-DPS: Faruzan (C6)
Hydro/Pyro: Xingqiu / Xiangling
Flex: Bennett / Yelan

Why it works: At C6, Lynette gains Anemo infusion. Paired with Faruzan's buffs, she deals respectful damage while driving off-field DPS units like Xingqiu or Xiangling.

Rotations & Combos

Support Rotation:
Element Applier > Lynette E Q > Main DPS

C6 Driver Combo:
Lynette E Q > N3D (3 Normal + Dash) Spam until infusion ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lynette vs. Sucrose/Kazuha?
Kazuha/Sucrose are generally better buffers/groupers. Lynette is a free alternative who offers unique ATK buffs (Passive) and Ousia application for Fontaine mechanics.

Why Marechaussee at C6?
Her Skill drains HP and then heals it. This HP fluctuation instantly stacks Marechaussee Hunter's 36% Crit Rate, making it her strongest DPS set.
