Anima Sub DPS

Linko is a limited S-rank Anima quickswap damage dealer using Plasma Arcs. Start with her Support Skill rather than maxing Basic Attack first. Her third awakening unlocks the Skill reset; her fifth changes how Skill-triggered Synced Strikes interact with Cycles. Global/Taiwan: September 9, 2026 after maintenance to September 30, 05:59 (UTC+8). Mainland China: September 3 after maintenance to September 24, 05:59 (UTC+8).

Analysis

Spend Modulation and select Xiaozhen or an ally for a Synced Strike. Its damage element follows the attacker: it is not always Anima damage. Deploy a Resonance Field and call up to three allies during Overdrive, then finish with an area burst. The field briefly persists afterward, treating allied Support Skills as Synced Strikes and follow-up damage. Invest in Support Skill and Ultimate, unlock both passives, then improve Skill and Basic Attack as resources allow. Guides differ on which of Support or Ultimate to finish first; neither supports treating Support as an afterthought.

Skills

Cross-checked September 9, 2026. Sources and verification limits are documented in the full build guide.

Basic Attack

Poltergeist CQC

The five-hit Basic sequence builds Modulation. Off-field, Xiaozhen attacks and marks a target every 8 seconds; hitting that mark with a Redirect Skill enables a Synced Strike.

Redirect Skill

Full-Frequency Pulse

Spend Modulation and select Xiaozhen or an ally for a Synced Strike. Its damage element follows the attacker: it is not always Anima damage.

Ultimate

Oversync

Deploy a Resonance Field and call up to three allies during Overdrive, then finish with an area burst. The field briefly persists afterward, treating allied Support Skills as Synced Strikes and follow-up damage.

Support Skill

Spectral Cross

Its level sets the damage ratio of Synced Strikes. This is a core damage investment, not an optional skill to leave until last.

Passive 1

Weakness Radar

Hexed enhancement: additional follow-up base damage becomes 30%; Hexed targets take 10% more follow-up damage.

Passive 2

Precision Tuning

Synced Strikes reduce resistance to the attacker's element by 8% for 12 seconds. Different elements coexist; repeating the same element refreshes rather than stacks.

Skill Multipliers

Cross-checked September 9, 2026. Sources and verification limits are documented in the full build guide.

Resonance 3: Three awakenings: Support, Redirect Skill and Ultimate levels +1; Linko ATK +20%.
Resonance 6: Six awakenings: field duration +5 seconds; all allies gain 30% Anima and Incantation damage during the field.

Eidolons / Awakening (M1–M6)

Cross-checked September 9, 2026. Sources and verification limits are documented in the full build guide.

Off-field attack interval -25%: 8 seconds becomes 6 seconds.

Ultimate's final Anima burst ratio +30%, not a blanket 30% increase to every attack.

Casting Ultimate resets Redirect Skill cooldown. This is not part of A0.

Field-triggered strikes add Anima area damage and can consume the mark. The ratio scales with Ultimate level; it is not a fixed 100%.

Skill-triggered Synced Strikes can trigger Cycles. If the selected ally cannot form a Cycle with Linko, that strike deals 50% more damage.

Allied Synced Strikes gain 25% Crit Rate and the Charge effect.

Signature Arc

Voice of the Voyager

Base ATK 570 Sub-stat Level 80 Crit Rate 24%

Level 80: 570 base ATK and 24% Crit Rate. At M1: ATK +24%, Support Skill Crit DMG +66%; Support hits add 22% Ultimate Crit DMG per stack for 3 seconds, up to 3 stacks, refreshing on repeated triggers.
