Leaked kit and abilities

Lynette Full Kit via Mero by u/MuffinLoL in LynetteMains

A reliable Genshin Impact leaker called Mero leaked Lynette's entire kit. This section will briefly go over her potential abilities.

Elemental Skill

Lynette will execute an Enigma Thrust, dealing Anemo DMG. When Enigma Thrust hits an opponent, it will restore Lynette's health depending on her Max HP; however, in the following 4 seconds, she will lose a certain amount of HP per second. Furthermore, based on how her skill is used, it will have different effects:

• Press: Swiftly use Enigma Thrust.
• Hold: Lynette will enter a high-speed Pilfering Shadow state and apply Shadowsign to a nearby opponent. When the state ends, she will approach the enemy marked by Shadowsign in a flash and use Enigma Thrust. Only one enemy can be marked by a Shadowsign at a time, and if the enemy moves too far from Lynette, the mark will be canceled.

In addition, Lynette will unleash Surging Blades at specific intervals when she uses Enigma Thrust, dealing Anemo DMG. Her skill cooldown is 12 seconds.

Elemental Burst

Lynette will deal AoE Anemo DMG and summon a giant Bogglecat Box, which has the following effects:

• Taunts nearby enemies.
• Deals Anemo DMG to nearby enemies at intervals.
• If the Bogglecat Box comes in contact with Pyro/Electro/Hydro/Cryo, it will absorb that element and fire five Vivid shots, dealing DMG based on the element absorbed. Only one element can be absorbed for the entire duration of the burst.

Lynette's Bogglecat Box stays active for 12 seconds and has a very long cooldown of 18 seconds. Furthermore, its energy cost is 70.

Passive skills

As per the leaks, Lynette also has three passive abilities like most characters in Genshin Impact, and they are:

• Sophisticated Synergy: Within 10 seconds of using her Elemental Burst, when there are 1/2/3/4 members in the party, the entire party's ATK will be increased by 8%/12%/16%/20%.
• Props Positively Prepped: After Lynette's Bogglecat Box absorbs one element, her burst damage will be increased by 15%.
• Point Mnemomics: Shows the location of nearby Revival Orbs on the minimap. The underwater stamina and HP gained upon touching these Orbs will be increased by 25%.

The Revival Orbs mentioned in the last passive seem to be related to a new exploration mechanism that will be introduced in the Genshin Impact 4.0 update.

Constellation

Here is a list of Lynette's leaked constellations:

• C1: Her Elemental Skill will create a vortex nearby the enemy marked by her skill and pull them in.
• C2: She will fire one extra Vivid Shot from her Elemental Burst.
• C3: Increase Elemental Burst Max level by 3.
• C4: Gain one more charge in her Elemental Skill.
• C5: Increase Elemental Skill Max level by 3.
• C6: Upon using her Elemental Skill, she will gain Anemo Infusion and a 20% Anemo DMG bonus for 6 seconds.
