Recommended Light Cones

  1. Night of Fright (5⭐)
  2. Time Waits for No One (5⭐)
  3. Post-Op Conversation (4⭐)
  4. Perfect Timing (4⭐)
  5. Warmth Shortens Cold Nights (4⭐)
  6. Shared Feeling (4⭐)

1) Night of Fright

Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 12~20%. When any ally uses their Ultimate, the wearer restores HP for the ally currently with the lowest HP percentage by an amount equal to 10~14% of the healed ally's Max HP. When the wearer provides healing for an ally, increases the healed ally's ATK by 2.4~4.0%. This effect can stack up to 5 times and lasts for 2 turn(s).

2) Time Waits for No One

Increases the wearer's Max HP by 18~30% and Outgoing Healing by 12~20%. 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 36~60% 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.

3) Post-Op Conversation

Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 8~16% and increases Outgoing Healing when they use their Ultimate by 12~24%.
Note: Great LC especially if you're against enemies that often debuff your team. This LC can increase the uptime of Lynx's Ultimate (removes one debuff from all allies) as it increases ERR.

4) Perfect Timing

Increases the wearer's Effect RES by 16~32% and increases Outgoing Healing by an amount that is equal to 33~45% of Effect RES. Outgoing Healing can be increased this way by up to 15~27%.
Note: The healing effect is hard to achieve with low Effect RES so it's recommended to use Broken Keel Set to help.

5) Warmth Shortens Cold Nights

Increases the wearer's Max HP by 16~32%. When using Basic ATK or Skill, restores all allies' HP by an amount equal to 2.0~4.0% of their respective Max HP.

6) Shared Feeling

Increases the wearer's Outgoing Healing by 10~20%. When using Skill, regenerates 2~4 Energy for all allies.
Note: Helps to generate Energy for the whole team with a small healing effect for Lynx.

Team Recommendations

1) Follow-Up Team

Because of Lynx's skill that increases the chance of Preservation/Destruction characters being targeted by enemies, follow-up DPS like Blade and Clara are extremely in tune with Lynx. A reminder that Blade is better with Bronya instead of Tingyun. The best examples would be:

Blade / Clara: Main DPS
Bronya / Tingyun (Any other support): Buffer
Pela / Silver Wolf (Any other support): Debuffer
Lynx: Healer

2) Mono-Quantum Team

A bit on the expensive side as 3 of the characters are 5-star characters. Unless the enemies are weak to Quantum, Silver Wolf plays an important role in the team to inflict Quantum Weakness on enemies without the said weakness. You can swap Fu Xuan with a buffer like Bronya or Tingyun if you want.

Seele / Qingque: Main DPS
Sparkle (Any other support): Buffer
Silver Wolf (Any other support): Debuffer
Lynx: Healer
