Lynette build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

Light of Foliar Incision is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Lynette's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Absolution, Calamity of Eshu and Mistsplitter Reforged come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Lynette, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Desert Pavilion Chronicle on Lynette, with Viridescent Venerer and A Day Carved From Rising Winds behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, Anemo DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Energy Recharge.

Talent priority is Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 70 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

Skill

Enigmatic Feint

Flicks her mantle and executes an Enigma Thrust, dealing Anemo DMG. When the Enigma Thrust hits an opponent, it will restore Lynette's HP based on her Max HP, and in the 4s afterward, she will lose a certain amount of HP per second. Based on whether you press or hold this ability, she will use Enigma Thrust differently.

Press She swiftly uses an Enigma Thrust.

Hold Lynette will enter a high-speed Pilfering Shadow state and apply Shadowsign to a nearby opponent. You can control her movement direction during this state, and you can end it prematurely by using this skill again. When this high-speed state ends, Lynette will unleash her Enigma Thrust. If there is an opponent with Shadowsign applied to them nearby, Lynette will approach them in a flash before using Enigma Thrust.

A maximum of 1 opponent can have Shadowsign at any one time. When this opponent gets too far from Lynette, the Shadowsign will be canceled.

Arkhe: Ousia At specific intervals, Lynette will unleash a Surging Blade when she uses Enigma Thrust, dealing Ousia-aligned Anemo DMG.

"Now then, turn your eyes to the stage and continue to enjoy the performance. When I next appear, I'll be where you least expect."
