Genshin Impact 4.0 Lynette build: Best weapons
We recommend going for an elemental mastery (EM) based weapon. If you feel you need more energy recharge (ER), you can go for Favonius Sword too, which gives you a massive amount of ER while also generating white energy particles for your party.
Xiphos’ Moonlight
Favonius Sword
Iron Sting
Toukabou Shigure
Freedom Sworn
Genshin Impact 4.0 Lynette build: Best artifact set
The best relic set is undoubtedly Viridescent Venerer. You can also use Noblesse Oblige if you don’t have a good Viridescent set.
Viridescent Venerer
2-PC: Anemo DMG Bonus +15%
4-PC: Increases Swirl DMG by 60%. Decreases opponent's Elemental RES to the element infused in the Swirl by 40% for 10s.

Genshin Impact 4.0 Lynette build: Best talents to level
You should ideally level only Lynette’s Elemental Skill and Burst. If you use her on-field, you can raise her Normal Attack to Level 6.
Normal Attack: Rapid Ritesword
Normal Attack: Performs up to 4 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Elemental Skill: Enigmatic Feint
Lynette flicks her mantle and executes an Enigma Thrust, dealing Anemo DMG. When the Enigma Thrust hits an opponent, it will restore Lynette’s HP based on her Max HP, and in the 4s afterward, she will lose a certain amount of HP per second. Based on whether you press or hold this ability, she will use Enigma Thrust differently.
Press: Lynette swiftly uses an Enigma Thrust.
Hold: Lynette will enter a high-speed Pilfering Shadow state and apply Shadowsign to a nearby opponent. When this high-speed state ends, Lynette will unleash her Enigma Thrust. If there is an opponent with Shadowsign applied to them nearby, Lynette will approach them in a flash before using Enigma Thrust.
A maximum of 1 opponent can have Shadowsign at any one time. When this opponent gets too far from Lynette, the Shadowsign will be canceled.
Fundamental Force: Ousia
At specific intervals, Lynette will unleash a Surging Blade when she uses EnigmaThrust, dealing Ousia-aligned Anemo DMG.
Elemental Burst
Lynette raises her mantle high, dealing AoE Anemo DMG, using skillful sleight of hand to make a giant Bogglecat Box appear!
Bogglecat Box
Taunts nearby opponents, attracting their attacks.
Deals Anemo DMG to nearby opponents at intervals.
When the Bogglecat Box comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will gain the corresponding element and additionally fire Vivid Shots that will deal DMG from that element at intervals. Elemental Absorption of this kind will only occur once during this ability duration.
Genshin Impact 4.0: Lynette Constellations
We recommend not going for Constellations at this time but her E1 is a nice quality-of-life upgrade in case you want to build her for crowd control and debuffs.
Level 1 — A Cold Blade Like a Shadow: When Enigmatic 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.
Level 2 — Endless Mysteries: Whenever the Bogglecat Box summoned by Magic Trick: Astonishing Shift fires a Vivid Shot, it will fire an extra Vivid Shot.
Level 3 — Cognition-Inverting Gaze: Increases the Level of Magic Trick: Astonishing Shift by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Level 4 — Tacit Coordination: Increases Enigmatic Feint’s charges by 1.5.
Level 5 — Obscuring Ambiguity: Increases the Level of Enigmatic Feint by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Level 6 — Intent-Identifying Insight: When Lynette uses Enigmatic Feint’s Enigma Thrust, she will gain an Anemo Infusion and 20% Anemo DMG Bonus for 6s.
