Genshin Impact – Lynette best build

Looking for the Genshin Impact best Lynette build? This new four-star Anemo character is given to every player for free once you hit Adventure Rank 25. Due to her nature as a fully free character, her kit can be a little underwhelming.

Lynette makes for a fairly decent support character, able to give your team various damage buffs, but her personal damage is lacking in a few areas at Constellation 0. At C6, Lynette has a significant Anemo infusion on her attacks, which opens up her kit to be onfield for longer, also increasing her viability for a full Elemental Mastery build. Let’s take a look at the best Lynette builds in Genshin Impact. If you are after other builds, check out our Genshin Impact Yelan best build guide.

Best weapons for Lynette

Lynette’s best weapon right out the gate is going to be the Sacrificial Sword. It has Energy Recharge as its main stat which is hugely important for Lynette’s high-cost Burst. Not to mention, the Sacrificial Sword’s passive effect has the chance to reset your Skill’s cooldown, effectively doubling your Skill usage and your Energy generation.

If you don’t have a Sacrificial Sword to spare, the Favonius Sword is a decent alternative. It solves her Energy Recharge problems and helps her generate even more energy particles with its passive effect. One of the new free-to-play weapons added in 4.0 is only good for Lynette if you don’t have the other two swords. Here’s a breakdown of her weapon options.

Weapon	Main Stat	Passive Effect
Sacrificial Sword (*4)	Energy Recharge	After hurting an enemy with your Skill, there is a 40% to end the cooldown on your Skill. This lets you use it again immediately after. It can only occur once every 30 seconds at R1.
Favonius Sword (*4)	Energy Recharge	Crits have a 60% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, regenerating six energy for the character.
Fleuve Cendre Ferryman (*4)	Energy Recharge	Increases your Elemental Skill crit rate by 8%. It increases your energy by an additional 16 after you use your Skill.

The Fleuve Cendre Ferryman can be obtained from the Fontaine Fishing Association, making it a fully F2P weapon. This also means you can get it to Refinement rank 5 for free, but it will take a lot of fishing. Generally speaking, Fleuve Cendre Ferryman should only be used on Lynette if you have no other choice.

Best Artifact sets for Lynette

When it comes to choosing Artifacts the Genshin Impact best Lynette builds, you will want to go with the four-piece Viridescent Venerer. This is by far her best set, since she can benefit from the Anemo damage bonus it gives and the resistance shred from swirling enemies thanks to the four-piece set bonus.

If you really want, you could give Lynette the four-piece Noblesse Oblige set to further enhance her Elemental Burst, and provide the party with an ATK boost, but this isn’t entirely necessary since one of her talents has a similar effect without needing the Artifacts.

Artifact Set	Reason
Four-piece Viridescent Venerer	This is the standard Artifact set for almost every Anemo character and for good reason. The four-piece set bonus increases Swirl DMG by 60% and shreds the enemies’ Elemental RES to the element infused in the Swirl by 40% for 10s. Overall, this buffs her damage and makes every enemy hit with Swirl take more damage.
Four-piece Noblesse Oblige	If you want more damage from Lynette, then you could opt for this four-piece set. With two Noblesse, she gets a 20% damage buff to her burst. The four-piece bonus increases all party members’ ATK by 20% for 12s. More ATK and Burst means more damage, but there are better characters who would utilise this set.

Within these two sets, you could opt for the two-piece Viridescent and two-piece Noblesse to get the Anemo damage and Burst bonus, but this is entirely up to you if you want to play around with other options. When it comes to stat priority, you will want to have the following main stats on your artifacts.

Artifact Piece	Main Stat	Substat Priority
Flower	HP	Energy Recharge > Crit Rate >EM
Feather	ATK	Energy Recharge > Crit Rate/DMG > EM
Sands	Energy Recharge or ATK%	Energy Recharge > ATK% > Crit Rate
Goblet	Anemo DMG	Energy Recharge > Crit Rate > ATK%
Circlet	Crit Rate/DMG	Energy Recharge > ATK% > EM

Energy Recharge is an incredibly important stat for Lynette since her Burst costs a lot and she won’t be picking up many energy particles as an off-field support.

✓ Jack’s Opinion

What about Elemental Mastery?

If you have Lynette at C6, you could consider building her with full Elemental Mastery. With her Anemo infusion, her attacks will Swirl any other elements on an enemy and you can use her as an on-field DPS to trigger several reactions.

Lynette Talent priority

When levelling Lynette’s Talents, you should focus on her Elemental Burst and then her Elemental Skill. If you have Lynette at C6, you should invest in her Normal Attack talent, but otherwise, you can leave it. The main source of Lynette’s damage comes from her Burst and Skill, so levelling these first will be the best.

Lynette Constellations – Genshin Impact best Lynette builds

Lynette’s Constellations go a long way in making her much better to play. While they’re not entirely necessary to get the most out of her, at C6 Lynette’s playstyle will change considerably and she can be an onfield DPS instead of an off-field support.

1. Cold Blade Like a Shadow – When Enigamitc 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. The 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. The 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.

As mentioned, these Constellations aren’t necessary for Lynette to be good, but if you want her to be more useful then they will be important for you to grab.
