Is Linko good?

Linko builds up a Modulation Gauge through basic attacks and critical ripostes, and that gauge powers up her Redirect Skill, which is really the centerpiece of her whole kit. Landing that skill slams nearby enemies and lets her call in a teammate (or her companion Xiaozhen) for a Synced Strike, and whichever ally you pick determines the element of that follow-up hit, though the damage itself always scales off Linko's own stats.

She's built as a Burst DPS who spends most of her active time off-field: while she's out, she quietly marks enemies, and hitting a marked target with Redirect Skill still triggers a Synced Strike and keeps feeding her Modulation and energy even without her on the field.

Strengths

  • Redirect Skill calls in a teammate or her companion for a bonus hit
  • Follow-up strike's element depends on the ally chosen, but scales off her own stats
  • Keeps building resources passively while off-field

Briefly pauses the battle timer while selecting the attacker and initiating the Synced Strike. Replaces an ally's position on the wheel with Xiaozhen if the ally is unable to act or is not on the team. Grants Xiaozhen's Synced Strike an additional DMG Bonus for each additional Xiaozhen on the wheel.

    Ultimate

    Enters Overdrive upon casting Oversync, deploying a Resonance Field for a set duration and Syncing with up to 3 allies.

Deals 1 additional instance of Anima Area DMG when a Synced Strike is performed within Resonance Field. Ends Overdrive when its duration expires or when Oversync is pressed again, releasing an overloaded noise burst that deals multiple instances of Anima Area DMG and 1 instance of Anima Burst DMG to all enemies within Resonance Field. Increases this Anima Burst DMG based on the number of different debuffs on each target. Extends Resonance Field for a set duration after Overdrive ends. Counts Support Skills triggered by allies within Resonance Field as Synced Strikes, treats their DMG as Follow-up Attack DMG, and grants them the bonuses from Precision Turning, Starlit Whispers, and The World Answers.
