Who is Lynae?

Lynae is a graffiti artist from the New Federation and a preparatory student at Startorch Academy; her colorful style always puts her in the spotlight, but once she focuses on her work, nothing can stop her. She shifts the wavelength of visible light to mix colors however she likes and uses this in her spray paints. She wields Pistols with the Spectro element; she fills Overflow and switches to Kaleidoscopic Parade with Spark Collision, then applies Tune Rupture or Tune Strain with Polychrome Leap and Visual Impact while gliding on her skates. Her Liberation and Outro give the team a general damage boost, which makes her a strong sub DPS and support who fits many teams.

Lynae build

Updated for version 3.6

Echo set

Pact of Neonlight Leap5-piece

2-piece: Spectro DMG + {0}

5-piece: Casting Outro Skill increases the ATK of the incoming Resonator who casts Intro Skill by {0}. Each point of Tune Break Boost the incoming Resonator has additionally increases their ATK by {1}, up to {2}. This effect lasts for {3}s, or until the Resonator is switched out.

After Outro, it gives the character who enters with Intro ATK plus extra ATK based on Tune Break Boost; Visual Impact hands out Tune Break Boost to the team, so the bonus fills easily. The set that raises Lynae's support value the most.

Moonlit CloudsAlternative · 5-piece

2-piece: Energy Regen + {0}.

5-piece: Upon using Outro Skill, increases the ATK of the next Resonator by 22.5% for 15s.

If your Pact of Neonlight Leap Echoes aren't ready, 5-piece Moonlit Clouds with Impermanence Heron is a good temporary solution that gives Energy Regen and an ATK buff to the next character.

Rite of Gilded RevelationAlternative · 5-piece

2-piece: Spectro DMG + {0}

5-piece: Dealing Basic Attack DMG increases Spectro DMG by {0} for {2}s, stacking up to {1} times. With {1} stacks, casting Resonance Liberation grants {3} Basic Attack DMG Bonus.

If you play Lynae as the main DPS, the Spectro DMG that stacks with Basic Attack hits and the 40% Basic Attack DMG bonus after Liberation boost her personal damage.

A summon-type Echo: It deals Spectro damage with a laser from above, and if you use Outro within 15 s after summoning it, the character who enters with Intro gains a 10% All-Attribute DMG Bonus for 15 s. It counts toward both the Pact of Neonlight Leap and Rite of Gilded Revelation sets.

Use a 4-3-3-1-1 layout and get about 120% Energy Regen so your rotations stay smooth. Most Kaleidoscopic Parade attacks count as Basic Attack damage, so Basic Attack DMG Bonus is valuable in substats.

Lynae skills

Normal Attack

Chroma Drift

Normally she performs a three-hit Spectro combo. When Overflow is full, holding Basic Attack charges it: While converting Overflow into Lumiflow she is immune to interruption and takes 50% less damage, and on release she fires Spark Collision, which grows stronger based on her Lumiflow. In Kaleidoscopic Parade, her attacks turn into a five-hit combo, and the Heavy Attack held on the ground turns into Graffiti Blast, which counts as Basic Attack damage.

Resonance Skill

Lynae-Style Palettes

Deals Spectro damage with Lynae-Style Palettes and fills Overflow in the Optical Sampling Stage; holding it in Kaleidoscopic Parade attacks and exits that state. Pressing it on the ground during Parade uses Additive Color; the two skills share the same cooldown.

Forte Circuit

Chromaticity Modeling

Spark Collision puts Lynae into Kaleidoscopic Parade: Lumiflow (up to 120) fills as she moves on her skates and uses skills, and drains when she stops or leaves the field. Jump turns into Polychrome Leap, which spends a third of her Lumiflow; it chains up to 3 levels in mid-air, and each grants 1 True Color. At 3 True Colors she performs Visual Impact in mid-air (40 Tune Break Boost for the team for 30 s), or Iridescent Splash if it is on cooldown; these attacks apply Photochromic Flux, which works as Tune Rupture or Tune Strain - Shifting depending on the Resonance Mode.

Resonance Liberation

Prismatic Overblast

Deals Spectro damage and raises the damage of all nearby team members by 24% for 30 s. Right after, you can press Basic Attack for an extra Spectro attack with To a Vivid Tomorrow!

Intro Skill

Time to Show Some Colors!

Deals Spectro damage on entry and applies Photochromic Flux to the targets it hits. In the Optical Sampling Stage, it grants 100 Overflow; through the Adaptive Optics passive, it also gives a 25% Spectro DMG Bonus for 9 s.

Outro Skill

Let's Hit the Road!

Deals Spectro damage equal to 100% of her ATK to the target; the next character gains 15% All DMG Amplification and 25% Resonance Liberation DMG Amplification for 14 s (or until they leave the field). Using Outro makes Lynae exit Kaleidoscopic Parade.

Inherent Skill

Colors Never Fade!

After Visual Impact, she leaves a Spray Paint on the ground that lasts 5 s; targets inside it get Photochromic Flux every 2 s, and this effect holds even if the Resonance Mode changes. While Lynae is on the team, the exploration motorcycle's Energy Tank grows by 600 points, and she automatically enters Kaleidoscopic Parade on the bike.

Inherent Skill

"Adaptive Optics: Everyday Applications"

Using Intro Skill raises Spectro DMG Bonus by 25% for 9 s. Outside combat, a non-directional dodge in Kaleidoscopic Parade grants Optic Camo for 15 s; even if you step into enemies' detection range, combat doesn't start.

Tune Break

Spectral Analysis

Lynae can apply Tune Rupture - Shifting or Tune Strain - Shifting to targets and responds to both states. When someone on the team creates Tune Rupture - Interfered, she strikes with Spectral Analysis for extra Spectro damage (once every 8 s per target); for each Tune Strain - Interfered stack, every point of Tune Break Boost raises her damage to that target by 0.12%, and while she is on the team this stack cap rises by 1.

Lynae sequences (Resonance Chain)

S2 is the most efficient stopping point for those who play her as a support, since it boosts both her own damage and her Outro buff. S3 nearly doubles Visual Impact damage, and S6 is the ceiling Sequence that triples Lumiflow and changes her gameplay; S4 is the weakest link.

  1. S1

    Days to be Painted Like a Canvas

    Polychrome Leap's multiplier increases by 120%, Spray Paint's duration doubles and it pulls targets to the center every 6 s; Polychrome Leap and Visual Impact become immune to interruption, and Overflow fills quickly outside combat.

  2. S2

    Into Lights' Vanishing Point

    Lynae gains 25% All DMG Amplification; her Outro also gives the next character an extra 25% All DMG Amplification.

  3. S3

    For One Brilliant Moment

    The multipliers of Visual Impact and Iridescent Splash increase by 90%; at 120 Lumiflow, Premixed Hue stacks build up every second (up to 25) and raise Additive Color's Spectro DMG Bonus by 55% per stack.

  4. S4

    Shadows of a Wind Racer

    ATK increases by 20%.

  5. S5

    Visions of a Future Unbound

    Prismatic Overblast's multiplier increases by 70%.

  6. S6

    Painted in My True Color

    Graffiti Blast and the mid-air Heavy Attack grant Color of Soul (up to 3), which raises the damage of Visual Impact and Iridescent Splash by 30% per stack; the Lumiflow cap rises to 360, and Lynae stays in Kaleidoscopic Parade after Outro.

Lynae team comps

Tune Rupture team

Aemeath is the strongest Tune Rupture main DPS; Lynae gives Tune Break Boost along with damage and Resonance Liberation amplification, and Mornye speeds up Off-Tune buildup and heals the team. Switch Lynae to Tune Rupture mode in her skill menu.

Tune Strain team

All three can respond to Tune Strain, so their damage multiplies as Tune Break Boost rises; in this team you should switch Lynae to Tune Strain mode.

Glacio Chafe team

Hiyuki, who scales with Resonance Liberation damage, benefits greatly from Lynae's 25% Liberation amplification; Chisa raises the Glacio Chafe stack cap and heals the team.

Lynae tips

  • Enter the field with Intro and use Resonance Skill right away: With the 100 Overflow from Intro, the gauge fills instantly.
  • Use Liberation before Spark Collision; it gives the team a 24% damage bonus for 30 s, and the Basic Attack that follows performs an extra attack.
  • Hold Heavy Attack for about 1.6 s to convert all Overflow into Lumiflow; a fully charged Spark Collision deals the most damage.
  • In Kaleidoscopic Parade, jump three times to perform Polychrome Leap, then press Basic Attack in mid-air with 3 True Colors to use Visual Impact; it gives the team 40 Tune Break Boost.
  • Keep Lynae on the team when exploring: She moves fast on her skates, enlarges the motorcycle's Energy Tank, and Optic Camo lets you approach enemies unnoticed.

Common questions

How do you get Lynae?

Lynae is a limited 5★ Resonator and can only be pulled with Radiant Tide while her banner is active. She first arrived in Version 3.0 with the "Undefined Spectrum" banner and got reruns in Versions 3.2 and 3.5.

What is the best Echo set for Lynae?

As a sub DPS / support, 5-piece Pact of Neonlight Leap with Hyvatia as the main Echo is the best. If the set isn't ready, use 5-piece Moonlit Clouds, and if you play Lynae as the main DPS, use 5-piece Rite of Gilded Revelation.

What is Lynae's best weapon?

Her signature weapon Spectrum Blaster is the best; it raises her own Basic Attack damage while giving the whole team a damage bonus. Alternatives are the standard 5★ Phasic Homogenizer and Static Mist, and Solar Flame as a 4★.

Is Lynae strong?

Yes. Besides being a sub DPS with high personal damage, she gives the team general damage buffs with her Liberation, Outro and signature weapon; that is why, besides Tune Break teams, she also fits the lineups of DPS characters like Hiyuki, Augusta and Iuno. Her only drawback is that her rotation takes quite a bit of field time.

Should I choose Tune Rupture or Tune Strain for Lynae?

Decide based on your team's main DPS: Choose Tune Rupture with Tune Rupture DPS like Aemeath, and Tune Strain mode with Tune Strain DPS like Qingxiao or Luuk Herssen. Mornye is the best support in both lineups; the mode is changed from the character's skill menu.

What materials does Lynae use?

Ascension needs Suncoveter's Reach from Starward Handmaiden: Hyvatia, Rimewisp and the Exoswarm Core series. Skill upgrades use the Combustor series, Exoswarm Core and the weekly material Dreamless Feather from Dreamless.
