Looking for the best build options for Lynette in Genshin Impact? Look no further, we have you covered with our build guide.
With the new region of Fontaine available for players to explore in Genshin Impact, players will get a chance to meet plenty of new characters. As always, some of them can join your team as you progress through the story. This is the case with Lynette, sister to Lyney, who’s a sword-wielding Anemo character that can bring some nice versatility to your squad. The best builds for Lynette can utilize her as main DPS or sub-DPS support, with the primary focus in both cases landing on her Elemental Mastery. Let’s dive in and discuss how you can build up your Lynette in Genshin Impact.
Best DPS Build for Lynette in Genshin Impact
If you’re building Lynette as your main DPS, you’ll want to focus on her Elemental Burst stat. This lets Lynette deal substantial damage even when she’s swapped away off-field. This involves using her Enigmatic Feint attack and Magic Trick: Astonishing Shift.
Weapon choices
The best weapon for Lynette is the Freedom-Sworn sword. The skill effect from this weapon triggers even when Lynette is off-field, which combined with its great stats and damage potential make for a deadly combo. Another possible option that could be difficult to get is the Primordial Jade Cutter. However, if you don’t have access to either of them, there are some alternatives:
- Iron Sting
- Wolf-Fang
- Favonius Sword
- Sacrificial Sword
Artifact choices
For artifacts, you should look to use the 4-piece artifact set of either Noblesse Oblige or Emblem of Severe Fate.
The Noblesse Oblige 4-piece bonus will help with providing your party with extra ATK stat whenever you perform Elemental Burst.
Meanwhile, the Emblem of Severe Fate 4-piece bonus will increase your Elemental Burst DMG stat by 25% of your Energy Recharge. So the choice is between buffs for the whole party with Lynette or frontloading damage through her alone.
Stat priorities
When you’re building Lynette as the main DPS, her main strength should lie in her Anemo Burst capabilities. For that reason, look for the following stats:
- Sands: Elemental Mastery or Energy Recharge
- Goblet: Elemental Mastery or Anemo DMG Bonus
- Circlet: Elemental Mastery or CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Besides those main stats, your sub-stat priority on artefacts should be: Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > HP%.
Best Support Build for Lynette in Genshin Impact
In case that you’re building Lynette as your Support character, you’ll want to use her status as an Anemo character to perform as your team’s Elemental Mastery buffer. This will let Lynette increase your main DPS’ output substantially while remaining off-field. The main goal of this build is to maximize Lynette’s Swirl damage output through Elemental Mastery while buffing the whole party (and main DPS most importantly) through her artefact set.
Weapon choices
The best weapon for Lynette still remains the Freedom-Sworn sword. With her being mostly off-field with this build, the triggered skill effect from this weapon triggers is second to none. However, if you don’t have access to it, here are some alternative picks:
- Xiphos’ Moonlight
- Favonius Sword
- Iron Sting
- Toukabou Shigure
Artefact choices
This Lynette build only has one crucial 4-piece set that enables the build to work. In other words, the best artifact set for this Lynette build is the Viridescent Venerer set. It not only gives you an Anemo DMG bonus, but also adds Increased Swirl DMG and decreases enemy Elemental RES to the element that Swirl was infused with. This alone will make your main DPS burst down opponents that Lynette sets up for them.
Stat priorities
When you’re building Lynette as Support, you should look for every chance to get Elemental Mastery as much as possible. Even more so than when you build her for DPS. Therefore, you should look for the following stats:
- Sands: Elemental Mastery or Energy Recharge
- Goblet: Elemental Mastery or Anemo DMG Bonus
- Circlet: Elemental Mastery or CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Besides those main stats, your sub-stat priority on artefacts should similarly be: Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > HP%.
Lynette Character Build Guide
While getting weapons and artefacts for your Lynette build in Genshin Impact is important, upgrading the character also plays an important role. Here’s everything that you’re going to need to get the most out of Lynette.
Talent Priority
Lynette’s strongest ability is her Elemental Burst Magic Trick: Astonishing Shift. It’s AoE damage and Taunt all wrapped up in a neat package. Most importantly, the Bogglecat Box it summons will stay even after you take her off-field, dealing that damage at regular intervals.
Her second priority should be her Elemental Skill Enigmatic Feint. It’s both a damage and mobility tool, depending if you press or hold the skill.
Lastly, her Normal Attack Rapid Ritesword can be used to fill out the rotation between the other skills. Use it with quick taps or a charge attack version. Therefore, when building Lynette, your Talent priority should be:
- Elemental Burst – Magic Trick: Astonishing Gift
- Elemental Skill – Enigmatic Feint
- Normal Attack Rapid Ritesword
For her Talent upgrades, Lynette uses materials found primarily in Fontaine. Here’s everything that you’ll need to upgrade her Talents.

Lynette’s Constellations
Building Constellations on any character that’s a 4-star rarity and above largely depends on your Wish luck. If you do manage to get more copies of Lynette, you will be happy to find out that her Constellation tree gets stronger the more you unlock it.
Her final, sixth, Constellation node is especially strong. Called Watchful Eye, its effect is “When Lynette uses Enigmatic Feint’s Enigma Thrust, she will gain an Anemo Infusion and 20% Anemo DMG Bonus for 6s.” This is a huge DPS boost no matter which build you run for Lynette.
Lynette’s Constellation is called Felis Alba and comes with the following effects:
| Constellation Level | Constellation Name | Constellation Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A Cold Blade Like a Shadow | When Enigmatic Feint’s Enigma Thrust hits an opponent with Shadowsign, a vortex will be created at that opponent’s position that will pull nearby opponents in. |
| 2 | Endless Mysteries | Whenever the Bogglecat Box summoned by Magic Trick: Astonishing Shift fires a Vivid Shot, it will fire an extra Vivid Shot. |
| 3 | Cognition-Inverting Gaze | Increases the Level of Magic Trick: Astonishing Shift by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| 4 | Tacit Coordination | Increases Enigmatic Feint’s charges by 1. |
| 5 | Obscuring Ambiguity | Increases the Level of Enigmatic Feint by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| 6 | Watchful Eye | When Lynette uses Enigmatic Feint’s Enigma Thrust, she will gain an Anemo Infusion and 20% Anemo DMG Bonus for 6s. |
Lynette Ascension Guide
Levelling up and ascending Lynette will take some time and a lot of resources. But it’s well worth it if you’re building her up to use in a team comp. The stat boosts alone will help immensely. Moreover, her special stat is Anemo DMG bonus, which maxes out at 24% at Ascension Level 6. Here’s everything that you’ll need to Ascend Lynette.
| Ascension Level | Character Levels | Ascension Materials and Cost |

Best Team Comps for Lynette
Depending on what type of build you’re running for Lynette, there are a few team comps that you can use. Primarily, you will want to use characters that synergize with her Anemo abilities. For example, you could use Fischl for Electro and Anemo combos. For support, Barbara could act as your healer, replacing Sucrose or Bennett as Anemo enabler. However, here are a few examples of best comps featuring Lynette.
Main DPS Lynette Elemental Damage Team
This team consists of the following characters:
- Main DPS: Lynette
- Sub-DPS: Xiangling
- Sub-DPS: Ganyu
- Support: Kokomi
The goal of this team is to set up elemental chain reactions for Lynette’s Elemental Burst attack. Use her Anemo power of Swirl to combo with the elemental abilities of everyone else for massive AoE bursts.
In this setup, you’ll use Kokomi to sustain your team, especially because Lynette loses health as well as stamina when using her abilities. She takes care of Lynette’s HP, and also brings Hydro to the table. Similarly, you will use Xiangling for Pyro and Ganyu for Cryo applications.
Perma Freeze Team
You’ll need these characters for this team build:
- Main DPS: Ayato
- Sub-DPS: Lynette
- Sub-DPS: Ganyu
- Support: Kokomi
This team looks to benefit from the off-field support build for Lynette. Her Swirl is the effect that you’ll use to combine Ayato’s Hydro and Ganyu’s Cryo to form perma-freeze effects. In this comp, Lynette adds consistency and duration to an already awesome duo.
Burst Vaporization Team
To build this team comp, you will need the following party members:
- Main DPS: Hu Tao
- Sub-DPS: Yelan
- Sub-DPS: Lynette
- Support: Zhongli
In this team, Lynette enables the elemental reaction potential for combining Hu Tao’s Pyro with Yelan’s Hydro to produce Vaporization elemental effect. While Hu Tao is technically the main DPS of the team, you’d look to use Lynette together in synergy as a sort of co-DPS. Meanwhile, use Zhongli’s shielding powers to keep everyone alive while you set up the massive elemental reaction.
With this guide, you’ll be able to build up your Lynette into a potent force on the field. Make sure to check out our other Genshin Impact guides, like How To Get Characters in Genshin Impact and Is Genshin Impact on Steam.
