Linko Build Guide

Increases CRIT Rate by 16% for each Type III Module equipped.

Due to the unique buff to Hexed reaction and follow-up damage, Linko is positioned as best support for Zankou in a Hexed team. While also being best support for Nanally hyper carry teams, since Nanally's damage is counted as follow-up damage.

Zankou Hexed Team

Zankou, Linko, Sakiri, Daffodill

This Hexed team relies on Zankou dealing Incantation damage through her skills, DoT, and Scorch, and Hexed replicated a portion of all this damage as a follow-up attack buffed by Linko, while Linko also buffing follow-up attacks of Zankou skills.

Nanally Hyper Carry Team

Nanally, Linko, Sakiri, Zero

It's another Hexed team, but focuses on Anima damage instead. Zero instant cycle takes care of Blossom, while building full Cycle intensity to maximize Blossom damage.

This frees Nanally to use her Esper Meter to trigger Hexed. With Linko buffing all Hexed and follow-up DPS, and Sakiri for generic Attack buffing and completing Hexed reaction.

• Limited BiS: Voice of the Voyager
• Paid Alternative: Fluff of Fortitude
• F2P Alternative: Raging Flames
• Early F2P: Oraora!

Best Arc for Linko is her limited signature, Voice of the Voyager. It gives all offensive stats she need to deal highest DPS, from CRIT Rate, to a massive CRIT DMG boost for Synced Strike and Ultimate.

A paid alternative would be the Battle Pass Arc, Fluff of Fortitude.

But Raging Flames is a free S-Rank stat stick that's good with Linko

• Cartridge: Fireflies and the Forest (S) / Speedy Hedgehog (S)
• Cartridge Main Stat: CRIT Rate
• Substats: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Universal DMG% / ATK%

Fireflies and the Forest (S) is the Anima set, and is best in slot Module for a sub-DPS Linko. It provides a lot of damage, and amplify the DPS significantly. It's recommended over Speedy Hedgehog (S), so try to give Speedy Hedgehog (S) to another support in the team such as Sakiri or Zero or Haniel. You usually would have one of them in team.

Because of massive CRIT DMG you may get from signature weapon and Anima set, CRIT Rate is the best main stat for Linko.

For sub-stats, she scales with a typical DPS build of CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Universal DMG% / ATK%

Support Skill > Ultimate = Basic Attack > Skill

Linko is the first character in NTE that prioritize support skill above all else, since her Synced Strike count as a support skill. If you have spare resources, level up the rest of her kit, giving Ultimate and and basic higher levels than skill.

Through normal attacks, Linko may build a special resource above her HP bar called "Modulation". She consumes Modulation by using skill to activate Synced Strike, and gets a wheel to select which character to sync with.

Her second Synced Strike is performed from off-field. When an ally uses skill, Linko can sync with them and lands Synced Strike (on 10 seconds cooldown). This helps her build cycle energy, Ultimate energy, and Modulation.

Ultimate can activate three extra Synced Strikes (One with each ally)

This accumulates into a very simple support rotation:

• Open with skill
• Select your main DPS to perform Synced Strike with
• Use Ultimate
• Perform 3 Synced Strikes with all team
• Finish with Linko's final Ultimate hit
• Swap out to do team rotation

Linko released in version 1.3 second half, on September 9, 2026 to Global.
