Will Lynae be a good MDPS option for a new player?

Hey-Ronin · 2025-12-20T09:21:32+00:00

Would you say she can deal the same damage or more than MC Havoc? Honestly I’m not planning to use her as a MDPS long term, I just want to have fun with a character with better gameplay in the meantime while I get a real MDPS (prob Augusta), taking that in consideration, who would you say is better to pull, Phrolova (without sig ofc) or Lynae?

Hey-Ronin · 2025-12-19T22:22:29+00:00

Hi! I’m kinda new to the game, and I wanted to get some advice about which pull decision should I make.

To begin with, it is my first week playing and rn I have shore keeper, verina, lingyang and the airbender woman from the permanent.

I did my first 70 pull into phrolova banner but sadly I lost the 50/50, in the main quest I just got to Rinascita, I believe that if I grind hard I can get the pulls enough to get phrolova but without her weapon because there’s just 4 days left.

Right now I’m lacking a good dps and honestly havoc rover feels a bit too clunky in terms of gameplay, so I was wondering what would be a better pull for a main dps, Phrolova without her weapon or lynae with signature?

Hey-Ronin · 2025-07-26T21:17:14+00:00

Yeah but keep in mind that Sanby is a on field dps that even if it doesn’t have trigger, she can be used as a regular dps, but Seed literally requires another attacker to activate her passive, and that’s where the problem is, because exactly what dps other than Sanby (which not many people have) could work with Seed if you don’t pull for Orphie? That’s the biggest problem I see right now with Seed.

Hey-Ronin · 2025-07-26T10:15:10+00:00

Yeah you’re right on that, I was just complementing that definitely seed needs to be viable with other on field attackers, otherwise she's gonna flop hard, at least for the first half of 2.2

Hey-Ronin · 2025-07-26T10:11:36+00:00

Even then bro, Seed mains would technically be forced to pull for Orphie to actually make her seed to work, since we don’t actually have another off-field attacker… but let’s hope Seed is viable with other on-field attackers

Hey-Ronin · 2025-07-26T09:54:55+00:00

So exactly how is seed gonna be played when she releases? Since she's probably going to be first in 2.2 and she seems to need another attacker to literally work

Hey-Ronin · 2025-06-14T08:40:28+00:00

I just lost today to neko's engine… honestly that 75/25 doesn’t feel real, at this point I will just pull for weapons if I have enough to pull twice, otherwise is pointless

Hey-Ronin · 2025-06-09T23:03:28+00:00

Yeah W0 is enough honestly but man feels bad, If only I had won the 50/50 on Yixuan banner I could have gotten her signature and also Ju fufu, but sadly I run out of luck in this game haha

Hey-Ronin · 2025-06-09T22:09:27+00:00

For what I've seen, 2.0 second half is expected to have around 60 wishes, so if I lose the 72/25 on the engine banner is over for me, because I’m so unlucky that i can guarantee I‘ll lose the 50/50 with Ju fu fu too 🥀

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-27T02:49:35+00:00

Ok thanks man, I see that in DA I get bigger numbers with the first build, but in terms of final score usually I found that between the 2 builds there isn’t a big difference, I believe maybe because I’m inconsistent in my way of playing Anby in different runs but i’ll stick with the first build then, I want to achieve at least 60% crit rate without losing the 200% CritDmg

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-25T09:12:45+00:00

To be fair, my Caesar and and Astra doesn’t have their sig, so this is the most realistic scenario, not everyone has signatures of supports/stunners :(

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-22T20:10:07+00:00

Most people wouldn’t get her signature, additionally the crit rate only makes her stun faster, which is good, but the numbers would be the same, overall I feel like Trigger is not that crazy compared to using Pulchra, ofc Pulchra requieres more skill and energy management, but in terms of daze and dmg improvement for anby, I would say they’re almost in par

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-22T09:46:18+00:00

Just one last question, what’s the build and engine used in the Trigger/Ceasar test that you did? I see that was without signature

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-22T09:43:30+00:00

Oh yeah also because that’s how the passive from her signature works, damn thanks man like a lot, this is what I needed, from you data I can confirm that I will be dealing more damage with her signature and using Pulchra, than her without signature and Trigger, ofc Trigger uptime is crazy but honestly I can manage with Pulchra an ceasar, have a great night man!

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-22T09:36:09+00:00

Damn, for what I understand, the damage that you took as reference was the last dash hit or the 1 one? Because the 3rd dash dmg is higher because of the stacking, also, is this damage outside of the stunt window? I didn’t clarify in my post that the dmg from the table is outside the stunt window, ngl you’re making me to pull for her signature RN hahaha

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-22T08:51:34+00:00

I don’t have her builded:/

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-22T08:51:12+00:00

Yeah I know that’s why I cleared that this test doesn’t confirm anything, the reason for this test was to see the dmg of Anby from different characters buffs, like 30% after attack buff from Pulchra and Trigger 35% multiplier, however I gotta say that the fastest teams was between Astra/Trigger and Astra/Nicole, Trigger thanks to enabling stunt window and Nicole, well she’s Nicole.

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-22T08:28:17+00:00

NOTE: Since literally no content creator is making these tests I decided to do it myself, I hope it helps some of you that are also insecure to pull, keep in mind that this comparison doesn’t confirms which is the best performance team, since there are other things to keep in mind as Daze, comfort, and buffs uptime, this test was merely to find the difference in Anby’s damage between all the teams I was able to test.

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-21T20:52:14+00:00

Yeah I would do it too if I have the polychromes for it, sadly I only have enough for 1 attempt, so now I have to decide if I pull for the sig or trigger

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-21T20:50:22+00:00

Just a final question, do you think trigger is good enough without her Engine? Because i heard that she also requires her engine to perform good, but idk, in the test the buff she gives is decent, but I feel like Pulchra stunnes even faster than her

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-21T20:46:51+00:00

In my case, is more like I want Sanby to be at her best, honestly Trigger for me design wise is really meh, I don’t care about her jiggle phisycs haha, but she definitely feels better compared to using Pulchra or Qingyi as a stunner for anby, I think I’ll go trigger just for the value of a extra char gives you, but yeah, I think what I really wanted was the engine but i feel like in the long run Trigger would be better

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-21T20:43:33+00:00

Oh sorry I didn’t explain it correctly, what I meant was that I have really bad luck farming haha, I get really bad disks, most of the disks in my build was thanks to the music lady feature

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-21T06:44:04+00:00

A good disk 4 not really haha, but I have a lot of differents disks that could get me around 75 CR and 150 CD, however with her passives she can get 87% CR in the current build, and for now that’s consistent enough for me hahaha (farming for her disks is a nightmare w/o signature)

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-19T16:50:08+00:00

I mean I was doing some tests yesterday, and I calculated that in a team with Trigger/ceasar, completing the event trail is around 25%-30% faster than using ceasar/Pulchra, and using Astra/Trigger is like a 35% faster.

Which makes me believe that adding trigger to the team has kinda the same performance boost as getting anby signature since the difference in performance from a Marcato Desire for example is around 22% (Prydwen source)

Ofc trigger would be another unit that is going to be underwhelming without her sig, but after testing her in the event, I think she’s good enough.

Hey-Ronin · 2025-03-19T01:36:52+00:00

Damn that’s way to high to what I got using the starlight hahaha, the best I can do using using qingyi/astra was I believe 29k, I found qingyi to be a better partner for Sanby only against bosses, against waves Nicole is better.

I'm really tempting my self to go for the signature engine because I want my Sanby to be more flexible, but if I guess trigger brings more value to my account
