Character Overview – Lynette

Element and Weapon

Lynette wields the Anemo element and is a Sword user, making her a fast-paced and flexible unit in combat. Her abilities allow her to serve as both an on-field and off-field damage dealer, depending on the build and Constellation level.

Playstyles

Off-Field DPS / Support

Lynette thrives as an off-field support, primarily using her Elemental Burst, “Magic Trick: Astonishing Shift,” which summons a Bogglecat Box that taunts enemies and deals AoE Anemo DMG. Additionally, it can absorb Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro to fire Vivid Shots of the absorbed element. This makes her a strong option for reaction-based teams, particularly those that benefit from Swirl-infused Elemental RES shredding.

On-Field Anemo / Hyperbloom DPS

Upon unlocking her sixth Constellation (C6), Lynette can shift into an on-field DPS role. C6 grants her Anemo Infusion and a 20% Anemo DMG bonus for 6 seconds after using her Elemental Skill, enhancing her ability to consistently trigger Swirl and chain reactions like Hyperbloom.

Talents – Lynette

Normal Attack – Rapid Ritesword

Normal Attack: Performs up to four consecutive strikes.
Charged Attack: Uses Stamina to execute two rapid slashes.
Plunging Attack: Deals AoE damage upon landing.

Her normal attack chain is standard, but with C6, it gains more effectiveness in triggering Swirl reactions.

Elemental Skill – Enigmatic Feint

Her Elemental Skill offers two modes of activation:

Press: Lynette deals Anemo damage while restoring HP based on her Max HP. However, after 4 seconds, she loses HP per second.
Hold: Enters Pilfering Shadow mode, tagging a target with Shadowsign. Releasing the skill rushes to the marked opponent and deals Anemo DMG.
Arkhe: Ousia: Launches a Surging Blade every 10 seconds, dealing Ousia-aligned Anemo DMG.

Elemental Burst – Magic Trick: Astonishing Shift

Lynette summons a Bogglecat Box that attacks enemies by taunting and dealing AoE Anemo damage at intervals. This box absorbs an element and converts its additional attacks into that element. Since it does not snapshot, the damage dynamically changes based on Lynette’s buffs.

Passives

Ascension 1 Passive

Provides a team-wide ATK% buff, making her beneficial in setups needing additional damage amplification.

Ascension 4 Passive

The specifics of this passive are not widely detailed, but Ascension Passives often improve utility or self-sustain capabilities.

Constellations

C1 – A Cold Blade Like a Shadow

Enigmatic Feint’s Enigma Thrust creates a small vortex that pulls enemies when hitting a Shadowsign-marked opponent, enhancing crowd control.

C2 – Endless Mysteries

Increases the number of Vivid Shots fired by the Bogglecat Box, boosting Lynette’s off-field effectiveness.

C4 – Tacit Coordination

Adds an additional charge to Enigmatic Feint, increasing flexibility in battle.

C6 – Watchful Eye

Grants Anemo Infusion and a 20% Anemo DMG bonus for 6 seconds after using Enigmatic Feint, making her a viable on-field DPS.
