[@kamicokrolock]

I've found that Lynette is pretty good in melt teams where you want to swirl cryo since she, like anemo traveler, gives priority to cryo auras over pyro. The other Anemo units prioritize pyro first, so it makes melt fussier than reverse melt. I've had great fun pairing her with her brother and Rosaria.

[@loif93]

12:00 Happenes to me sometimes, before this version and even against non-boss enemies. I think it's because you are too close to the enemy and the characters have no "space" to swap.

[@sleet9289]

yeah, if you stand to close to the enemy hit-box it prevents you from swapping characters, this can also happen with terrain collision too.

[@a-non6238]

While that is also true I have to agree with Java, I’ve noticed a lot of switch lag this patch regardless of how tall or close to enemies I am. I can be at the back of the new artifact domain arena with Nahida or another ranged chara and it will take some time to get to my next character. But hey I’ll take that over crashing every 3 Gilded artifact domain runs.

[@jakecake8890]

yeah same happens to me..at first i thought it was a ping thing but then i get delayed even with good ping. It also happens even when not in combat

[@ChaosFlute]

I think they made that world quest a prerequisite because it's basically a tutorial for all of the diving mechanics and that section of the event is a swimming challenge.

[@cyan_ghost1727]

[@joeytabora1052]

Salsa doesn't activate from stepping near the canvas. She activates when you solve the puzzle. That's also not how triple shields work. All shields take damage at the same time. Triple shields are exactly as strong as whichever of the shields is strongest on its own.

For those who don’t know, the way you can tell what drop the dancer bot will give is based on the dance name, if you notice, on the last part of the drop name it has the dance’s name, in other words, if on the end of the name it says coppelia then you choose the dance that has that name

[@rekabalazs7323]

Lynette's drop description mentions that its a piece of **Coppelia** and when you talk to the guy, it asks which one would you like to fight, and it offers a "Dirge of Coppelia" and a "Nemesis of Coppelius" so yeah, a little help for anyone who still can't decide which one they need ❤

Do ppl on this comment section like actually build Lynette or are they just speculating, I have her on 4 VV and a Sacrificial sword she has almost 200 er and she absolutely shreds with Yae Miko and such. Her talents are also leveled up that could be another thing ppl aren't doing. I will admit yeah she won't shine much especially on this account when Kazuha is a thing but for those without him and are doing swords only she is a definite must have, reason I said swords only was because Sucrose is still a thing and at c6 her Chaotic Entropy (still my favorite sounding constellation in the game) she still outshines Lynette I suppose but oh well. Bottom line is instead of speculating like half the ppl in this community do why don't you actually go through the kit and build them and try them out and if you don't feel like wasting materials then don't but don't try and downplay them for other players who might actually enjoy her, tbh it's very refreshing not playing Kazuha atm I'm having fun again with a new character. I apologize if I offended anyone or something.

Keep an eye on your ping when you encounter the issue with swapping characters. Fluctuating ping can cause things that happen server side to be kind of janky (swapping characters).

[@fnln3011]

That e skill for the new cat tho. "You...can't run from Lynette."

[@glendor1el]

As a Keqing main, if you want her to do big damage, you really want to run an aggrevate build with a dendro character and some em, because yeah I mained her before dendro and it worked, but she never really did good damage until aggrevate dropped and appreciated her "death by a thousand cuts" playstyle. You can't just put her on a hypercarry team with no dendro and expect amazing damage, sadly, but hey, aggrevate is pretty strong.

[@GnetumGnemon25]

Next patch is a feast for Spells Only.

[@photo.sun.thesis]

my preferred teleport to the mech dancers boss (w/o setting up a temporary waypoint) is the one *just north of the arena - turn around and there's a hydro bubble path thingy that takes you to a cliff overlooking the boss arena. you can then fly down to talk to the npc who prompts the boss fight. it's a simpler path* and much quicker, although going from the path by the fountain of lucine lets you farm up some rainbow roses on the way (although you don't need them for lyney) !

[@aruaruru624]

i also built lynette as a dps! i love using her shes so much fun. i did still put 4pc vv on her but her E skill does like 18k no buffs on crit (she doesnt crit often despite having 71% crit rate). i would also love to get her c6 someday for the anemo infusion.
