TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Lynette if…

  • For efficient overworld sprinting and mobility
  • If you need a taunt to distract enemies in the Abyss

Pick Ifa if…

  • When building a team around Dendro reactions (Quicken/Bloom)
  • If you enjoy a precision-based archer playstyle

Shared Team Members

With Lynette

Nahida provides Lynette with massive Elemental Mastery sharing, which significantly increases the damage of Lynette's swirls and infused burst hits. Her Tri-Karma Purification ensures consistent off-field Dendro application, which can be used to trigger various reactions alongside Lynette's Anemo. This pairing is effective for increasing the reaction-based damage of the entire team.

With Ifa

Nahida is a powerful partner for Ifa, providing Dendro resonance and consistent Dendro application from off-field. Her EM sharing increases the damage of Ifa's reactions, while her skill provides a reliable source of Dendro particles to fund Ifa's burst. This pairing forms a solid Dendro core that can support various reaction-heavy team compositions.

With Lynette

Kuki Shinobu provides Lynette with consistent healing and off-field Electro application, which is helpful for triggering Electro-related swirls and reactions. Her healing ensures Lynette stays healthy while on-field, and her Electro resonance can help with energy generation. Together, they form a stable and reliable support duo for various team compositions.

With Ifa

Kuki Shinobu enables Ifa to trigger consistent Quicken and Hyperbloom reactions through her off-field Electro application. Her healing provides much-needed sustain for Ifa, while her Electro application helps maintain the reaction chain. This synergy is essential for maximizing Ifa's damage and efficiency in Dendro-related teams.
