Lynae Build
Best weapons, echoes & teams
Skills
Chroma Drift
Perform up to 3 consecutive shots dealing Spectro DMG.
When Lynae has Lumiflow, Basic Attacks are replaced with Spark Collision: rapid multi-hit Spectro shots that consume Lumiflow per hit.
After accumulating enough Optical Sampling, Basic Attack is replaced with Kaleidoscopic Parade: a sweeping shot dealing Spectro DMG and generating Premixed Hue based on colors mixed.
Consume Stamina to fire a charged shot, dealing Spectro DMG.
Consume Stamina for an aerial burst, dealing Spectro DMG.
Normal Attack after a successful Dodge to attack the target, dealing Spectro DMG.
Lynae-Style Palettes
Launch a prismatic paint burst at the target, dealing Spectro DMG and applying a color pigment to enemies hit. Gaining pigment advances Optical Sampling and contributes to the active Premixed Hue composition. Casting again within the window throws a secondary burst, dealing additional Spectro DMG and generating Lumiflow.
Prismatic Overblast
Detonate accumulated Premixed Hue in a chromatic explosion dealing Spectro DMG to all nearby enemies. Grants all party members +24% DMG Amplification for 25s based on the number of unique color channels in the current Premixed Hue composition.
Time to Show Some Colors!
Enter the field with a sweeping prismatic volley, dealing Spectro DMG and instantly filling Optical Sampling to the next threshold.
Let's Hit the Road!
Fire a parting chromatic burst dealing Spectro DMG. All nearby party members' DMG is increased by 15% for 30s. The incoming Resonator's Resonance Liberation DMG is Amplified by 25% for 20s.
Inherent Skills
Colors Never Fade!
Premixed Hue does not decay while Lynae is off-field. When Lynae re-enters the field with active Premixed Hue, Optical Sampling instantly advances by 1 stage.
Adaptive Optics
For every unique color channel active in Premixed Hue, Lynae gains 5% CRIT Rate. At maximum True Color (3 channels), she additionally gains 15% Spectro DMG Bonus.
Tune Break
Spectral Analysis
increasing the target's Spectro RES penetration taken for a duration. Tune Rupture scales with Lynae's accumulated Tune Break Boost.
Forte Circuit
Chromaticity Modeling - Optical Sampling & Kaleidoscopic Parade
Lynae accumulates Optical Sampling from Basic Attacks, Skill hits, and Intro Skill. At each threshold (3 stages), Lynae may cast Kaleidoscopic Parade instead of Basic Attack: a high-multiplier sweeping shot dealing Spectro DMG that generates Premixed Hue and Lumiflow.
While Lumiflow is active, movement skills are enhanced into prismatic dashes that deal Spectro DMG and apply color tags to enemies passed through.
Chromaticity Modeling - Resonance Mode
When Premixed Hue reaches maximum True Color composition (all color channels filled), Lynae enters Resonance Mode: Spark Collision gains unlimited Lumiflow for its duration, Kaleidoscopic Parade's DMG Multiplier is increased by 80%, and Lynae generates Additive Color stacks with each hit.
Chromaticity Modeling - Overflow, Lumiflow & True Color
Holds up to 60. Gained from Kaleidoscopic Parade and Resonance Skill secondary burst. Spent by Spark Collision.
When Lumiflow exceeds cap, excess converts to Overflow stacks (max 5). Each stack grants 8% Spectro DMG Bonus.
Tracks unique color channels active in Premixed Hue (max 3). At max True Color, Resonance Mode triggers.

Best Weapons
by calculated performance
Spectrum Blaster
R1BestLynae's Signature weapon provides her with a significant boost to her ATK, CRIT Rate and Basic Attack DMG Bonus, while increasing all damage dealt by the team when applying Tune Rupture or Tune Strain. Overall a fantastic choice to buff both personal and team damage at once.
100.0%
Static Mist
R1While Static Mist provides noticeably less personal damage than other 5-star weapons, it is generally the best choice on Lynae after her Signature as its passive allows her to buff the Main DPS of the team's ATK which is almost always preferable compared to improving her own personal damage.
81.5%
Phasic Homogenizer
R1An amazing generalist permanently available pistol that can universally improve the wearer's ATK, DMG Bonus and CRIT DMG. Can get close to a lot of character signatures and is overall a must-have for most accounts.
91.2%
The Last Dance
R1Mostly an ATK and CRIT DMG stat-stick for Lynae, who barely benefits from this weapon's Skill DMG-increasing effects.
85.0%
Lux & Umbra
R1ATK and CRIT DMG stat-stick for Lynae who cannot benefit from this weapon's Heavy Attack and Echo DMG-focused effects.
83.8%
Percentages show relative damage performance from calculations; some weapons bring un-quantifiable quality-of-life on top.
Best Echo Sets
5-Piece Sonata
Pact of Neonlight Leap
The best Support set specifically made for Lynae that provides a total of 30% ATK (and an extra 10% DMG Bonus via the Main Echo) to the next character Lynae uses her Outro on. Amazing set to buff your Main DPS by massive amounts.

Lynae build summary
Spectrum Blaster is the weapon to build around. Without it, Static Mist, Phasic Homogenizer and The Last Dance are the next picks, in that order. Solar Flame is the budget option.
On the Pact of Neonlight Leap set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Spectro DMG on the 3-cost, Spectro DMG > ATK% on the 3-cost and ATK% on both 1-costs. Substats in priority order: Energy Regen (Until Satisfied) > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > ATK = Basic Attack DMG%.
The Resonance Chain nodes worth pulling for are S1 (+120% Basic Attack DMG), S3 (+90% Basic Attack DMG) and S5 (+70% Liberation DMG). Level Forte Circuit → Res. Liberation → Basic Attack → Res. Skill → Intro Skill.
Ascension needs 46× Suncoveter's Reach above everything else, and the full build — ascension plus every forte node — costs 2,200,000 Shell Credits.
