Faruzan vs Lynette

The Anemo hyper-support vs. the flexible free utility

TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Faruzan if…

  • If you are playing Wanderer, Xiao, or Heizou (Essential)
  • When you have her at C6 for consistent grouping and buffs
  • To shred Anemo resistance for any Anemo carry

Pick Lynette if…

  • As a generic Viridescent Venerer holder for any element
  • When you need a taunt to manage enemy aggression
  • For overworld mobility using her dash skill
Verdict

Faruzan is a non-negotiable requirement for Anemo DPS teams, but requires high constellations. Lynette is a versatile, free alternative for players who just need a standard VV support.

Shared Team Members

With Faruzan

Bennett is a staple in Faruzan-led Anemo teams, providing the ATK buff needed to maximize the damage of the Anemo hypercarry she supports. His healing and Pyro application also allow for easier Swirl reactions and increased team survivability.

With Lynette

Bennett significantly boosts Lynette's off-field Burst damage with his flat ATK buff and provides the healing she needs to function as a support or sub-DPS. He also enables Pyro Swirls, which Lynette can use to further shred enemy resistances.
