Lynette build guide · GenGuru: Your guru for Genshin Impact

Overview

Anemo support
Party ATK buffer
Taunt

Lynette is an Anemo sword support. Her Elemental Burst summons a Bogglecat Box that taunts enemies, deals Anemo damage, and fires extra shots of Pyro, Hydro, Cryo or Electro once it absorbs one of those elements. For a while after the burst, every party member gains ATK based on how many different elements are in the party, up to the largest bonus with four. Her Elemental Skill is a quick Anemo thrust that also heals her and then drains a little HP over the next few seconds.

Build her for Energy Recharge first so the burst is always ready, then ATK and crits. In most teams she bursts, uses her skill for particles, and swaps out.

Tips

Her ATK buff scales with how many different elements are in the party. Four elements give the biggest bonus.
The Bogglecat Box absorbs only one element per burst, so make sure the element you want reaches it first, for example from a teammate who attacks around it right after the burst.
The Box taunts enemies, which keeps attacks off your carry for a few seconds.
Hold her skill to mark an enemy and dash to it, which helps reach targets that keep moving.
