Wuthering Waves Lynae Build Guide: Why should you pull, pre-farm, best build, and more

The popular action RPG, Wuthering Waves, will receive a major update (version 3.0) and introduce two new characters, called resonators. One of these, Lynae, will be available starting December 25th, 2025. Based on early information and leaks, we’ve created a comprehensive guide to help you understand Lynae, including reasons to obtain her, how to prepare, and optimal build strategies.

We’ve also updated our information on voice actors, including how to avoid getting banned and what’s being done to prevent leaks. Plus, you can find the latest working redeem codes, guides for rerolling, getting started, understanding elements, and using a controller. We’ve also covered weapon types, echoes, playing with friends, earning Astrite, and a current tier list.

Lynae: Resonator Overview

Okay, so I just learned about Lynae, and she sounds awesome! She’s a new 5-star character coming in version 3.0, and she’s a Spectro type, which is cool. From what I’ve seen, she’s super fast and fights with pistols, which is a style I really like. Her special ability, the resonator, has two different modes – Optical Sampling and Kaleidoscopic Parade. Basically, she’s built to be a damage dealer, either as your main DPS or a really strong sub-DPS. I’m definitely going to try her out!

I’m so excited for her debut! She’s going to be around for a limited time, and everyone’s already talking about her. The coolest thing is, when she skates, her skates actually glow and leave a shimmering trail! Watching her move feels like she’s flying – it’s incredible! We’ll learn even more about her powers once we see the resonator in action, and I can’t wait!
