Your Guide to Best Builds for Lynae in Wuthering Waves

Lynae is a 5‑star Spectro pistol resonator whose main role is to boost the team’s damage while also dealing solid personal damage. She excels at enhancing the next character through her Outro Skill and buffing the whole team with her Liberation.​

Her playstyle chains Normal and Leap attacks, letting her flex as support or hypercarry, while boosting the team with Tune Break, 40‑point Break Points, 24% all-damage, and 40% Liberation damage.

Lynae Overview

How Lynae Plays

Lynae is a Normal Attack–focused Spectro character who chains long sequences of Basic and Leap attacks to deal damage. She can either:

• Act as a support, setting up the next character with strong ATK, All DMG, and Spectro uptime.
• Act as a hypercarry, dealing sustained Spectro damage through Basic Attacks, especially when paired with Rite of Gilded Revelation.

She is versatile and fits into a wide range of team compositions, making her a strong pick for most players.

How Lynae’s Kit Works

Lynae’s combat revolves around three bars she fills and consumes in sequence: Yellowforte, Speedometer, and Color Bars.

Yellowforte (Basic Mode)

• Starts in basic mode (on two feet) with a Yellowforte bar.
• Basics, Heavies, and her Resonance Skill generate Yellowforte.
• Intro Skill generates 100/120 Yellowforte, making Intro + Skill the fastest way to fill the bar.
• Once full, she can use an enhanced Heavy Attack to enter rollerblade mode.

Speedometer (Rollerblade Mode)

• Hold Heavy Attack to consume Yellowforte and fill the Speedometer to 120.
• Basics, Heavies, and Aerials are enhanced; movement and attacks generate Speedometer, while standing still reduces it.
• Jump Attack (Polychrome Leap) consumes 40 Speedometer and generates one Color Bar.
• At max Speedometer (120), she can perform three Jump Attacks to generate three Color Bars.

Color Bars (Midair Mode)

• With three Color Bars, using a Basic Attack triggers Visual Impact, a powerful midair attack.
• Visual Impact has a 25-second cooldown and provides the team with a 40-point Break Point boost.

Liberation (Resonance Liberation)

• Main part: sprays paint on enemies.
• Follow-up: optional Basic Attack throws a motorcycle at enemies.
• Grants the team a 24% all-damage boost for 30 seconds.

Tune Rupture vs Tune Strain Mode

• Toggle modes outside combat on her talent page.
• Rupture Mode: attacks apply Rupture debuff; enemies take extra Tune Break Rupture damage.
• Strain Mode: attacks apply Tune Strain debuff; Lynae deals more damage to Strain-affected enemies. Future characters and weapons will interact with Tune Strain.

Passives and Buffs

• Passive 1: After swapping out, applies Rupture or Strain debuff for a short duration.
• Passive 2: After using Intro Skill, gains 25% Spectro DMG for 9 seconds.
• Outro Skill: When swapping out, the incoming character gains 15% All DMG and 25% Resonance Liberation DMG for 14 seconds (lost if they swap again).

This kit allows Lynae to seamlessly switch between supportive and carry roles, making her extremely versatile and valuable in a wide range of team setups.

How to level Lynae’s skills

Prioritize leveling her skills in this order:​

1. Forte Circuit (highest priority)
2. Normal Attack (high priority)
3. Resonance Liberation (medium priority)
4. Resonance Skill (low priority)
5. Intro Skill (low priority)​

This order focuses on boosting her core mechanics, improving her damage uptime, and maximizing her buff utility.

Best Weapons for Lynae

Lynae is most often used as a sub-DPS with strong supportive buffs, so her best weapons are those that enhance her damage while amplifying team utility.

Best Choice

Spectrum Blaster (Signature Weapon)

Lynae’s best-in-slot option, offering high CRIT Rate, strong ATK scaling, and powerful Normal Attack damage bonuses. It also boosts overall team damage when Lynae applies Tune Rupture or Tune Strain during Basic Attacks, making it especially strong in teams built around the Tune Break mechanic.

Five-Star Alternatives

Static Mist

A solid option that provides CRIT Rate and improves Energy Regeneration, while also granting an ATK buff to the incoming Resonator after Lynae uses her Outro Skill. This makes it a good pick for rotation-heavy sub-DPS playstyles.

Phasic Homogenizer

Best suited for teams that frequently trigger Tune Breaks. It offers CRIT DMG and grants a significant All-Attribute DMG Bonus after any team member activates a Tune Break, synergizing well with Lynae’s kit.

Four-Star Alternatives

Solar Flame

A strong F2P-friendly choice that increases ATK and boosts damage through repeated Basic and Heavy Attacks. While less consistent than five-star options, it performs well in sustained combat.

Relativistic Jet

Provides high ATK scaling and helps smooth rotations by generating Resonance Energy after casting Lynae’s Resonance Skill, making it useful for frequent skill usage.

Pistols #26

An easy-to-obtain option that grants stacking ATK bonuses as long as Lynae avoids damage. While it falls off in high-pressure fights, it remains a decent early or budget alternative.

While five-star weapons offer the best overall performance, these four-star options are much easier to obtain and still allow Lynae to function effectively as a sub-DPS and team buffer.

Best Echo sets for Lynae

Lynae can be built in two main ways: support‑focused or damage‑focused.​

Support‑focused build

Use this if Lynae is mainly there to buff a main carry like Iuno or Augusta.​

• Echo Set: Pact of Neonlight Leap
  • 2‑pc: Spectro DMG +10%
  • 5‑pc: After casting Outro Skill, the next character gets 30% ATK and 10% All‑Type DMG​
• Main Echo: Hyvatia (for the 5‑pc effect)​

Damage‑focused build

Use this if Lynae is the main damage dealer in a hypercarry team.​

• Echo Set: Rite of Gilded Revelation
  • Greatly increases her Basic Attack damage, which fits her Normal Attack–heavy playstyle​

Best Echo stats for Lynae

Echo main stats

• CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG (4-Cost)
• Spectro DMG > ATK% (3-Cost)
• ATK% (1-Cost)

Echo sub‑stats

• CRIT Rate: ★★★★ (High Priority)
• CRIT DMG: ★★★★ (High Priority)
• Energy Regen (20%): ★★★ (Mid Priority)
• ATK%: ★★★ (Mid Priority)
• Basic Attack DMG: ★★★ (Mid Priority)

Best team compositions for Lynae

Lynae is a highly versatile sub‑DPS who fits well into many team compositions, especially with DPS characters whose damage relies heavily on Resonance Liberation DMG, like Iuno and Xiangli Yao. She can also be the main DPS in a hypercarry team.​

1. Lynae + Iuno + Mornye (High-Survivability)

• Lynae: Sub‑DPS/Buffer; provides 24% team DMG via Liberation and boosts Iuno’s Liberation damage with Outro Skill.
• Iuno: Main DPS; benefits from team and Liberation DMG buffs for strong Spectro damage.
• Mornye: Support/Sustain; healing, shields, DMG amplification, and Off‑Tune efficiency.

Why it works: High survivability and strong team buffs make Iuno a potent carry.

2. Augusta + Iuno + Lynae (Sun-Moon / Quick-Swap Burst)

• Augusta: Burst DPS/Shielder; deals massive single-target damage and provides shields/invincibility.
• Iuno: DPS/Sustain; strong Liberation damage, healing, and team DMG amplification.
• Lynae: Sub‑DPS/Buffer; boosts team and Liberation DMG.

Why it works: Shields and healing ensure survivability; buffs stack for extremely high burst.

3. Lynae + Sanhua + Mornye/Shorekeeper/Verina (F2P / Budget)

• Lynae: Sub‑DPS/Buffer; enhances Sanhua’s damage and provides team buffs.
• Sanhua: Main DPS; strong 4-star damage, hands field control back to Lynae.
• Mornye/Shorekeeper/Verina: Sustain; keeps DPS alive.

Why it works: Low-investment but efficient; Lynae’s buffs maximize Sanhua’s and her own damage.

4. Lynae + Cartethyia + Shorekeeper (Balanced / Burst)

• Lynae: Sub‑DPS/Buffer; provides Liberation DMG bonus to Cartethyia.
• Cartethyia: Main DPS; unleashes high Aero burst with Lynae’s buffs.
• Shorekeeper: Support/Sustain; healing, Crit buffs, and fatal blow protection.

Why it works: Buffs and healing enable safe, high-burst rotations.

5. Lynae Hypercarry Team (Lynae as Main DPS)

• Lynae: Main DPS; sustained Spectro damage with Rite of Gilded Revelation.
• Sub‑DPS/Buffer: Provides extra buffs or off-field damage.
• Sustain (e.g., Mornye, Shorekeeper, Verina): Keeps Lynae alive.

Why it works: Lynae’s kit and continuous on-field presence allow massive sustained damage, especially with proper skill chaining.

Lynae is a nice addition to the team!

Lynae is a very flexible 5‑star Spectro resonator who can work as both a powerful sub‑DPS and a team‑wide damage amplifier. Whether you build her as a support using Pact of Neonlight Leap or as a hypercarry using Rite of Gilded Revelation, she brings strong buffs and solid damage to almost any team.​

If you’re looking for a versatile sub‑DPS who can boost Liberation DPS or carry her own team, Lynae is definitely a must‑pull character.​
