Lynn, formerly known as Beast Tamer, is a duo focused support type character. Lynn has good mobbing and ok solo bossing. She really shines during party bossing, especially duo bossing. What you get with Lynn is consistent heals, FD buff, overheal shield, damage reduction, party teleport, and IED buff.
Beware, she has a lot of different skills to use so your keyboard layout will be important to figure out.
You should make a Lynn even if you aren’t planning on maining her or making her a boss mule because of the Link Skill and Legion Block. One of the best in slot link/legion block for bossing and you shouldn’t go without it.

If you’re making a Lynn boss mule that is strictly for buffing your ally, you want to focus on getting as much INT lines as possible since your big buff skill scales with INT. Only do this if you’re just helping out your friend and don’t care about drops or reaching 5% damage. Other wise you’ll want to build a boss mule the normal way with Abso/Acrane, and unique 2 lined gear.
Lynn Beginner Skills
In the Beginner tab there will be a skill called Focus. This is an important skill that lets you choose any ally to give your buffs to. You can only choose 1 ally at a time and who you choose will be important in a party scenario.
All skills with [Focus] in the name will affect you and your chosen ally.

Lynn Perfect Trio Nodes
In the V Matrix you’ll also have Boost Nodes. They are there to level up your 1st – 4th job skills past their initial cap. You’ll want to level up the most useful skills for your class and those will form your perfect trios.
For Lynn these are the perfect nodes you’ll want to look for,
| Primary Node | Secondary Node |
 Strike |  Earth Pulverization and Roar |
 Peck |  Sweep and Whirlwind |
 Sneak Attack |  Predator’s Blow and Raid |
If making a main you’ll want both primary and secondary nodes. If you’re making a boss mule and want to save some slots you just need the primary. Easy to get your perfect nodes since she has no useless skills in the boost pool.
An explanation of perfect trios and full list of all classes and their perfect trio nodes here.
All Useful 5th Job Skills for Lynn
These are all the skills you’ll need to get the most out of Lynn. Any other skills are not useful and can be disassembled.
Do not level up your Decent skills past level 1 unless you’re at the end game and min/maxing to get an extra 5 stat at max level. At level 1 all your decent skills have 100% uptime since the duration will be longer than the cooldown. Holy Symbol is the only exception since you’ll get more exp and drop rate as you level it.
 Decent Sharp Eyes |
 Decent Combat Orders |
 Decent Speed Infusion |
 Mana Overload |
 Maple World Goddess’s Blessing |
 Blink |
 Erda Nova |
 Decent Holy Symbol |
 Decent Advanced Blessing |
 Will Of Erda |
 Erda Shower |
 Ethereal Form |
 Rope Lift |
 True Arachnid Reflection (Obtained from Will boss) |
 Solar Crest (Obtained from Seren boss) |
The ones that are underlined and bolded are not necessary if making a boss mule.
Lynn 5th Job V Matrix Node Slot Priority
- Boost Nodes
- Level 1 Decent Sharp Eyes, Decent Combat Orders, Decent Speed Infusion
- [Focus] Awaken
- Beast’s Rage + Beak Strike
- Nature’s Grace
- Maple World Goddess Blessing
- Level 20 Erda Nova
- Power of Destiny
Maxing the skills in this order (except decents) is also ideal for bossing but if you want to get better training rates I would suggest putting more focus on Boost Nodes, Decent Holy Symbol, and Erda Shower.
If you’re making a purely supportive bossing mule to help your teammates you’ll want to max [Focus] Awaken and Nature’s Grace first.
Lynn 6th Job HEXA Skills
The HEXA matrix is split up into Skill Node (6th job Origin skill), Mastery Node (enhances 4th job skills), Boost Node (5th job enhancement), and Common Node (Job specific skills)
You’ll get your 1st Origin skill for free once you finish the quest line and the rest you’ll have to unlock yourself. Link to a Guide for HEXA Matrix so that you’ll have the best start possible.
| Node Type | Skill Name | Max Lvl Description | Purpose |
| Skill Node |  Source Flow | Consumes 1500 MP. You are invincible during the cast action Unleash 54 activations of the Guardians’ full-force attack, dealing 1080% damage 12 times on up to 15 enemies Cooldown: 360 seconds | Big Bind and Burst Skill (This is your Origin skill which binds the boss and gives a big buff to your skills for a duration) (This bind is different than a regular bind (erda nova) which means you can use your regular bind right after your Origin bind) |

6th Job Lynn HEXA Skill Priority
When starting your HEXA Matrix you’ll want to unlock everything then start putting focus on depending on if you’re a solo progression player or a party player.
For party play focus Lynn you’ll want more in [Focus] Awaken and then Nature’s Grace. Party focus is much more important in the late/end game especially for a class like Lynn where her main skills are support focused.
If you’re a solo progression player there are infographics online and in the Lynn discord that you can follow.
Lynn 6th Job Hero HEXA Stat Priority
For Lynn, your 1st HEXA stat node, you’ll want
- Main Stat: Attack
- Additional Stat: STAT
- Additional Stat: Critical Damage
HEXA stat is an RNG type system and it doesn’t matter what you get in the beginning since it is not worth it to reroll until your entire 6th job is maxed. Once it gets to level 20 leave it there and no matter what you got it would still be at least a 2-3% FD gain.
