Should You Pull for Lynx?

Healer

Lynx is a 4-star Quantum healer, and everything in her kit scales off her HP. Her Skill heals one ally and raises their Max HP, her Talent adds continuous healing, and her Ultimate heals the whole team and dispels a debuff from everyone. If you are short on sustain units, she is well worth building, especially since she is easier to get than the 5-star options.

She suits characters who want to get hit, like Yunli, Clara or Blade, because her Skill makes Destruction and Preservation allies far more likely to be targeted. Even if you already have a strong 5-star healer, keep Lynx around for Yunli if Yunli doesn't have her signature Light Cone.

Memory of Chaos Decent Her healing is steady and she can cleanse Crowd Control from the whole team, but at E0 she still falls behind the stronger 5-star healers.
Pure Fiction Strong Steady team-wide healing keeps everyone standing through wave after wave of enemies.
Apocalyptic Shadow Good Reliable healing and debuff cleansing are enough to keep the team alive through boss fights.
Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Consistent and strong AoE healing
  • Excellent synergy with Yunli, making her play better (if you do not have Yunli's signature Light Cone)
  • Can be extremely Skill Point positive thanks to her A6 trace
  • Her Ultimate cleanses debuffs across the team
  • Very tanky
  • Stronger than Natasha and easier to obtain than the 5-star options

Cons

  • Needs her A6 trace to be fully effective
  • Her cleanse sits on her Ultimate, so it is sometimes not ready when you need it
  • Emergency healing is awkward because it wastes her healing over time turn

Best Lynx Build Guide

Best Lynx Build

Lynx's healing, the Max HP boost she gives allies and even her Basic ATK damage all scale off her HP. Stack HP% first, then add SPD so she takes more turns.

Best Light Cones

  • 1 Night of Fright Night of Fright Best
    Her best Light Cone. It raises her Energy Regeneration Rate, adds its own extra healing that can save the team when you have no Skill Points left, and gives allies a stacking ATK buff.
  • 2 Time Waits for No One Time Waits for No One Great
    Raises her HP and Outgoing Healing, and more HP means bigger heals from Lynx. When allies attack, it also deals extra DMG to a random enemy. The downside is that it is pure sustain and gives the team no buffs.
  • 3 Post-Op Conversation Post-Op Conversation Great
    An easy-to-get 4-star that gives a big chunk of Energy Regeneration Rate and boosts her Outgoing Healing when she uses her Ultimate.
  • 4 Perfect Timing Perfect Timing Good
    Gives Effect RES, which helps her meet the Broken Keel requirement and resist debuffs. The more Effect RES she has, the more Outgoing Healing she gets.
  • 5 Warmth Shortens Cold Nights Warmth Shortens Cold Nights Good
    Raises her Max HP, and when Lynx uses her Basic ATK or Skill, her allies get extra healing.

Best Relics

1
Her best set, and the best set for most healers. It gives her 12% SPD, and when she heals her allies, the whole team gets 15% CRIT DMG.
2
The second-best option. Lynx gets extra SPD, and every time she uses her Ultimate the whole team gets a SPD buff. Time her Ultimate so the buff covers the allies who need it most.
3
If you can't put together 4 pieces with good stats yet, mix 2 + 2 like this for both SPD and Outgoing Healing.

Best Planar Ornaments

1
A healing-focused set that gives SPD and Outgoing Healing. Great for teams that need a lot of healing. Lynx needs at least 135 SPD to activate its effect.
2
Raises the whole team's CRIT DMG as long as Lynx has at least 30% Effect RES. That is easy to reach with her Traces and a few Effect RES substats.
3
Raises Lynx's HP and the whole team's ATK, so it suits teams with an ATK-scaling damage dealer. It needs at least 120 SPD, which is easy to reach with her Relics.

Main Stats

  • BodyOutgoing Healing Boost or HP%
  • FeetSPD
  • Planar SphereHP%
  • Link RopeEnergy Regeneration Rate or HP%

Substats

  • 1HP% or SPD
  • 2Effect RES
  • 3DEF%

Either Outgoing Healing Boost or HP% works on the Body. The Max HP boost from her Skill (and the ATK buff at E4) scales off Lynx's HP, so an HP% Body makes the team stronger, while the difference in healing is tiny. On the Link Rope, take Energy Regeneration Rate if enemies hit the whole team and keep applying debuffs. Otherwise, HP% is fine too.

HP% and SPD are both top priority, and aim your SPD at a breakpoint. Effect RES helps Lynx resist debuffs and is a must if you use Broken Keel. A bit of DEF helps her survive in harder content.

Stat Targets

  • HP5000 or more
  • DEF1000 to 1200 or more
  • SPDaim for a breakpoint such as 143 or 160, at least 135 with Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding
  • Energy Regeneration Rate19.44% or more

Skill Priority

Skill or Ultimate first, Basic ATK last

There are two sensible ways to level her. The first puts her Skill first, since it is her main healing tool and leveling it also raises the Max HP boost from Survival Response, then her Ultimate, then her Talent, with Basic ATK last because you mostly use it to recover Skill Points and Energy. The second levels her Ultimate first, then her Talent, with her Skill and Basic ATK after that.

Trace Priority

Survival in the Extreme and Advance Surveying, Exploration Techniques is also worth unlocking

The first two matter most, and you can unlock them in either order. Survival in the Extreme makes her Talent's continuous healing last 1 more turn, which is a big deal when you need to keep several allies alive. Advance Surveying gives Lynx 2 Energy every time an ally with Survival Response gets hit, so her Ultimate comes back faster. Exploration Techniques raises her chance to resist Crowd Control debuffs by 35%, which is also worth having on a healer.

Eidolon Priority

E0 works well, E2 is the most valuable

Lynx heals very well with no Eidolons at all. E1 raises her Outgoing Healing by 20% when healing allies at 50% HP or lower, and this also works on her continuous healing. E2 lets an ally with Survival Response resist debuff application 1 time, which can stop Crowd Control too. E4 raises the ATK of an ally who gains Survival Response by 3% of Lynx's Max HP for 1 turn. E6 adds 6% of Lynx's Max HP to the Max HP boost from Survival Response and gives 30% Effect RES.

Best Lynx Teams

Budget Team (All 4-Stars)

Lynx can be the only healer in a budget team. Dan Heng is the main damage dealer, Trailblazer (Preservation) draws enemy attacks and provides shields, and Asta gives the whole team SPD and ATK buffs.

Counter Team with Yunli

Replace Yunli with: Clara

Yunli and Clara need to get hit to deal damage. Lynx's Skill makes enemies target them more often, so they get to attack a lot more. For a Yunli without her signature Light Cone, Lynx makes her play much better.

Mydei Team with Lynx as Solo Healer

Replace Mydei with: Castorice, Blade, Clara

Her Ultimate cleanses debuffs from the whole team, and together with her strong healing, that lets Lynx be the only sustain unit in most teams. Mydei and Blade both want to get hit, and Lynx heals them while making them more likely to be targeted, which turns them into the team's tank. If you need a tankier team, swap one support slot for Fu Xuan.

Mono-Quantum Team

Replace Seele with: Qingque

This team needs Silver Wolf, because when everyone on the team is Quantum she is guaranteed to apply Quantum Weakness to enemies. Lynx heals, Fu Xuan reduces the damage the team takes, and Lynx's Skill both raises Fu Xuan's Max HP and makes enemies target her more. If you don't have Seele, use Qingque.

Best Teammates for Lynx

Yunli
Yunli

She needs to get hit to attack. Lynx's Skill makes enemies target Yunli more often, which is a big upgrade if Yunli doesn't have her signature Light Cone.

Clara
Clara

Clara is a Destruction character who likes getting hit. Lynx's Skill makes her more likely to be targeted so she counters more often, and Lynx's Ultimate can also cleanse Crowd Control from her.

Blade
Blade

Blade keeps draining his own HP, so he needs someone looking after him. Lynx's continuous healing and the extra aggro from her Skill let Blade use his Follow-up ATK more often, healing himself along the way.

Mydei
Mydei

He wants to get hit. Lynx heals him and makes enemies target him more, turning Mydei into a solid tank.

Castorice
Castorice

She benefits from Lynx's Max HP boost and healing for her Ultimate.

Fu Xuan
Fu Xuan

Lynx's Max HP boost pairs well with Fu Xuan. Since Fu Xuan is a Preservation character, Lynx's Skill also makes enemies target her more.

Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf

The core of the Mono-Quantum team, since she is guaranteed to apply Quantum Weakness to enemies.

Trailblazer (Preservation)
Trailblazer (Preservation)

Draws enemy attacks and provides shields in the budget team, while Lynx takes care of the healing.

How to Play Lynx

Her Skill Applies Survival Response

Her Skill, Salted Camping Cans, heals one ally and applies Survival Response for 2 turns, raising their Max HP based on Lynx's HP. If that ally is on the Path of Destruction or Preservation, enemies will also target them much more often. A good way to play her is to pick a tanky ally and turn them into the enemies' main target. The effect only lasts 2 turns, so keep an eye on your Skill Points if you want to keep it up.

Her Talent Adds Continuous Healing

Every time she uses her Skill or Ultimate, her Talent, Outdoor Survival Experience, gives the allies she heals continuous healing at the start of each of their turns. Allies with Survival Response are healed even more. With the Survival in the Extreme Trace, this lasts 3 turns instead of 2, which helps bridge the gap between her Ultimates. This is why Lynx is easy on Skill Points.

Her Ultimate Heals and Cleanses the Whole Team

Her Ultimate, Snowfield First Aid, instantly heals all allies and dispels 1 debuff from each of them. When the whole team is hit by Crowd Control, this is what gets you back into the fight. Keep in mind it only removes 1 debuff per ally, so if someone has several at once, it might remove a less important one. Because the cleanse sits on her Ultimate, you can't use it back to back the way you could with a Skill.

Her Basic ATK Scales off HP

Her Basic ATK, Ice Crampon Technique, deals Quantum DMG based on Lynx's Max HP, not her ATK. Since her whole kit scales off HP, a high-HP build lets her add a fair bit of damage even as a healer. On top of that, every time an ally with Survival Response gets hit, the Advance Surveying Trace gives Lynx 2 Energy, so her Ultimate comes up more steadily.

Quick Tips

  • Use her Technique, Chocolate Energy Bar, before a fight so the whole team starts the next battle with her Talent's continuous healing for 2 turns.
  • Put Survival Response on a tanky Destruction or Preservation ally so they draw attacks away from the rest of the team.
  • Broken Keel needs at least 30% Effect RES, so keep that in mind when picking substats.
  • If you keep using her Skill on one ally to hold the taunt effect, and your team has a single CRIT DMG damage dealer, 4 pieces of Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal is a very strong pick.
  • Against enemies that hit the whole team and keep applying debuffs, use an Energy Regeneration Rate Link Rope so her Ultimate comes up faster.

Lynx FAQ

Is Lynx worth building?
Yes, especially if you don't have many sustain units yet or have Destruction characters who want to draw attacks. She heals well, cleanses debuffs from the whole team, and works fine as your main healer until you get a stronger 5-star option.
What stat does Lynx's healing scale off?
HP. That is why you prioritize HP% on the Planar Sphere and in substats, while the Body can be either Outgoing Healing Boost or HP%. More HP also makes the Max HP boost she gives allies and her Basic ATK damage bigger.
What Light Cone should Lynx use without Night of Fright?
Time Waits for No One is a great 5-star option. If you only have 4-stars, Post-Op Conversation, Perfect Timing, Warmth Shortens Cold Nights or Shared Feeling all work. Quid Pro Quo is also a strong support Light Cone if your team can make use of the Energy it gives.
Which Eidolons should I aim for on Lynx?
Lynx doesn't need Eidolons to heal well. If you get them, E2 is the most valuable because it lets an ally with Survival Response resist a debuff 1 time. E4 and E6 are also very good.
Is Lynx good with Yunli?
Very good. Yunli needs to get hit to attack, and Lynx's Skill makes enemies target her more. If Yunli doesn't have her signature Light Cone, Lynx can even be her best healer, including the 5-star options.
