Lynx Guide and Best Builds

Introductions

Lynx is a 4-Star character with the Quantum element who follows the Path of Abundance. Lynx is a sustain who can increase her allies' max HP, AoE debuff and aggro enemies onto allies who follow the Path of Destruction or Preservation. On top of this, Lynx deals Quantum damage based on her Max HP rather than her ATK, allowing her to contribute decent amounts of damage for her team on top of healing.
Our Lynx Build Guide will show you the best Light Cones, Relics, and team compositions to help you build the best Lynx.

Lynx's Best Light Cone

Listed below are the Light Cones we recommend for Lynx.

Night of Fright
S1

Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%. When any ally uses their Ultimate, the wearer restores HP for the ally currently with the lowest HP percentage by an amount equal to 10.0 / 11.0 / 12.0 / 13.0 / 14.0% of the healed ally's Max HP. When the wearer provides healing for an ally, increases the healed ally's ATK by 2.4 / 2.8 / 3.2 / 3.6 / 4.0%. This effect can stack up to 5 times and lasts for 2 turn(s).

Night of Fright is a 5-star Light Cone and one of Lynx's best weapons. This Light Cone increases Lynx's Energy Regeneration Rate by 12%, and when an ally uses their Ultimate, Lynx restores HP to the ally with the lowest HP percentage equal to 10% of that ally's Max HP. When Lynx heals an ally, they also receive an ATK buff. The Energy Regeneration Rate from this Light Cone helps Lynx maintain Ultimate uptime while also allowing her to increase an ally's ATK and restore HP.

Time Waits for No One
S1

Increases the wearer's Max HP by 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0 / 27.0 / 30.0% and Outgoing Healing by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%. When the wearer heals allies, record the amount of Outgoing Healing. When any ally launches an attack, a random attacked enemy takes Additional DMG equal to 36.0 / 42.0 / 48.0 / 54.0 / 60.0% of the recorded Outgoing Healing value. The type of this Additional DMG is of the same Type as the wearer's. This Additional DMG is not affected by other buffs, and can only occur 1 time per turn.

Sources: Stellar Warp

Time Waits for No One is another excellent Light Cone for Lynx. It increases her Max HP by 18% and her Outgoing Healing by 12%. The increased Max HP not only improves her healing and the HP boost she provides to allies, but also increases the DMG dealt by her Basic ATK. Additionally, when an ally attacks an enemy, a random enemy takes additional DMG of the same type as Lynx (Quantum) based on the amount of Outgoing Healing provided.

Unto Tomorrow's Morrow
S5

Increases the wearer's Outgoing Healing by 12.0 / 15.0 / 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0%. When an ally target's current HP percentage is greater than or equal to 50.0%, increases the DMG dealt by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%.

Sources: Nameless Glory

Unto Tomorrow's Morrow increases Lynx's Outgoing Healing by 24%. Additionally, when a targeted ally's current HP is 50% or higher, their DMG is increased by 20%. This Light Cone allows Lynx to provide stronger healing while also boosting an ally's damage output.

Post-Op Conversation
S5

Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 8.0 / 10.0 / 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0% and increases Outgoing Healing when they use their Ultimate by 12.0 / 15.0 / 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0%.

Sources: Stellar Warp

Post-Op Conversation increases Lynx's Energy Regeneration Rate by 16% at S5 and increases her Outgoing Healing by 24% when she uses her Ultimate. This Light Cone helps improve the uptime of her Ultimate while also increasing the amount of healing she provides to her allies.

Multiplication
S5

After the wearer uses their Basic ATK, their next action will be Advanced Forward by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%.

Sources: Stellar Warp

Multiplication is a decent Light Cone for Lynx. Although it is only a 3-star Light Cone, it advances Lynx's next action by 20% after she uses her Basic ATK. This can come in handy, especially when she is conserving Skill Points, allowing her to contribute some damage before taking another action soon after.

Quid Pro Quo
S5

At the start of the wearer's turn, regenerates 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 Energy for a randomly chosen ally (excluding the wearer) whose current Energy is lower than 50.0%.

Sources: Forgotten Hall Store, Echo of War

Quid Pro Quo regenerates 16 Energy for a random ally whose Energy is below 50% at the start of Lynx's turn. This can work great in teams where an ally's Ultimate is used frequently, helping them regenerate Energy faster and maintain consistent Ultimate uptime.

Perfect Timing
S5

Increases the wearer's Effect RES by 16.0 / 20.0 / 24.0 / 28.0 / 32.0% and increases Outgoing Healing by an amount that is equal to 33.0 / 36.0 / 39.0 / 42.0 / 45.0% of Effect RES. Outgoing Healing can be increased this way by up to 15.0 / 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0 / 27.0%.

Best Relics and Planar Ornaments for Lynx

Best Relics for Lynx

These are the best Relic sets for Lynx.

Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder

2-Piece Set: Increases SPD by 6.0%.

4-Piece Set: When the wearer or their memosprite provides healing to ally targets other than themselves, the wearer gains "Gentle Rain," which lasts for 2 turn(s) and can only trigger once per turn. While the wearer has "Gentle Rain," SPD increases by 6.0% and all allies' CRIT DMG increases by 15.0%. This effect cannot stack.

Warrior is a great 4-piece set for Lynx. The 2-piece set increases Lynx's SPD by 6%, allowing her to take turns more frequently and consistently provide healing to her allies. The 4-piece set increases Lynx's SPD by a further 6% and all allies' Crit DMG by 15% whenever Lynx heals an ally other than herself gaining "Gentle Rain". This set provides Lynx with a total of 12% SPD while also boosting her allies' Crit DMG once per turn.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

2-Piece Set: Increases SPD by 6.0%.

4-Piece Set: When the wearer uses their Ultimate on an ally, SPD for all allies increases by 12.0% for 1 turn(s). This effect cannot be stacked.

The 4-piece Messenger Set is another decent choice for Lynx. The 2-piece provides a 6% SPD increase, while the 4-piece increases all allies' SPD by 12% when Lynx uses her Ultimate on an ally. This additional SPD for Lynx allows her to consistently heal her allies while also boosting her team's overall SPD.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal

2-Piece Set: Increases SPD by 6.0%.

4-Piece Set: When the wearer uses their Ultimate on an ally, SPD for all allies increases by 12.0% for 1 turn(s). This effect cannot be stacked.

2-Piece Set: Increases SPD by 6.0%.

4-Piece Set: When using Skill or Ultimate on one ally target, increases the ability target's CRIT DMG by 18.0%, lasting for 2 turn(s). This effect can stack up to 2 time(s).

If you do not have a good 4-piece set, it is recommended to use 2-piece SPD with 2-piece SPD, Outgoing Healing, or HP%. This can be Messenger with Sacerdos or Warrior Goddess, for example. You should stack as much SPD as possible, which can be easier to achieve through 2-piece, 2-piece rather than 4-piece. See some other recommended sets below:

Longevous Disciple - HP%
Passerby of Wandering Cloud - Outgoing Healing
Guard of Wuthering Snow - Reduced DMG taken

Best Planar Ornaments

Fleet of the Ageless

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's Max HP by 12.0%. When the wearer's SPD reaches 120 or higher, all allies' ATK increases by 8.0%.

Fleet of the Ageless is a great Planar set for Lynx, increasing her max HP by 12% in addition to increasing all allies' ATK by 8% when she has an SPD of 120 or more. The additional max HP is highly valuable for Lynx, while the additional ATK for her allies is equally beneficial. Lynx should easily be able to hit 120 SPD, as she will want to have at least 134 SPD to get the most out of her kit.

Lushaka, the Sunken Seas

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 5.0%. If the wearer is not the first character in the team lineup, then increases the ATK of the first character in the team lineup by 12.0%.

Lushaka will increase Lynx's Energy Regen Rate by 5%, enabling her to maintain higher uptime on her Ultimate for continuous healing and debuffing. If Lynx is not placed in the first team slot, the character in the first slot gains 12% ATK. This can work especially well in teams that scale off ATK.

Broken Keel

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's Effect RES by 10.0%. When the wearer's Effect RES is at 30.0% or higher, all allies' CRIT DMG increases by 10.0%.

Broken Keel increases Lynx's Effect RES by 10%. When her Effect RES is 30% or more, all allies' Crit DMG is increased by 10%. This is useful for increasing her allies' Crit DMG while also reducing the chance that she will be inflicted with a debuff like Crowd Control.

Penacony, Land of the Dreams

2-Piece Set: Increases wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 5.0%. Increases DMG by 10.0% for all other allies that are of the same Type as the wearer.

Penacony Land of the Dreams works best in teams where allies are of the same type as the wearer, which in this case is Quantum. This set increases Lynx's Energy Regen Rate by 5% and increases the DMG of allies who are of the same element as Lynx by 10%.

Lynx Build Comments

Character Overview Kit Overview

Character Overview

Lynx is a 4-star sustain character who provides strong healing, team utility and survivability. Her Skill heals an ally, increases their Max HP, and can boost enemy aggro toward Destruction and Preservation characters, helping protect the rest of the team. Her Ultimate provides team-wide healing and removes debuffs from all allies, making her especially valuable against crowd control effects.

Unlike many sustains, Lynx's abilities scale with HP, including her Basic Attack, allowing her to contribute damage while focusing on survivability. Her Talent adds healing-over-time effects, making her highly Skill Point efficient and capable of sustaining teams through difficult content.

While she is a great budget alternative to limited 5-star sustain characters, Lynx remains a decent option in certain teams, particularly alongside characters such as Yunli, who benefit from her Skill's aggro. Overall, Lynx is a reliable healer for a 4-star character.

Kit Overview

Lynx is an HP-scaling Quantum sustain who provides decent single-target and team-wide healing while offering valuable benefits. Her Basic Attack deals Quantum damage based on her Max HP, allowing her to contribute more damage than most healers without investing in offensive stats.

Lynx's Skill heals one ally, increases their Max HP and grants aggro if they follow the Destruction or Preservation Path. This makes Lynx particularly effective at supporting durable frontline characters that benefit from being attacked.

Lynx's Ultimate restores HP to the whole team and removes a debuff from all allies at once, giving her powerful recovery and emergency cleansing capabilities against crowd control effects.

Through her Talent, any ally healed by her Skill or Ultimate receives a healing-over-time effect that restores HP at the start of their turns. Allies affected by her aggro-enhancing Skill receive even stronger regeneration, making her healing more efficient.

These abilities make Lynx a well-rounded sustain character who combines direct healing, regeneration, cleansing, Max HP buffs, and aggro manipulation in a single kit. She excels at keeping teams alive in challenging content while enabling tankier allies to take pressure for the rest of the team.

Lynx's Best Teams

Lynx Teams

Lynx's Best Eidolons

E6 – Lynx's E6 boosts max HP increasing the effect of "Survival Response" by 6% of her max HP while also increasing Effect RES by 30%. This makes her both a stronger healer and a more reliable debuff cleansing sustain.
E2 – Her E2 makes it so that a target with "Survival Response" is able to resist debuff application for a single time. This is especially valuable in difficult content where a single crowd control or harmful status can disrupt a rotation or lead to a team wipe.
E1 – Lynx's E1 makes it so that when healing allies with HP% equal to or lower than 50% her outgoing healing increases by 20% and also works on continuos healing as well. This is when allies are most vulnerable and need recovery the most. This also applies to continuous healing, making her overall sustain more consistent and effective in longer fights.
E4 – When a target gains "Survival Response," their ATK is increased by 3% of Lynx's max HP. This is good because it turns her sustain into a small but consistent damage boost for the team, keeping allies alive while also contributing damage.
