Neverness to Everness: Linko Build and Skill Mechanic Guide

To play Linko effectively in Neverness to Everness, prioritize Cooldown Reduction and Kinetic Damage while keeping him in constant motion. Chaining his mobility moves resets ability cooldowns and maintains damage-boosting passive effects, making movement management essential to his overall output.

Linko Skill-Reset Loop

Linko relies on continuous movement and kit rotations rather than standard attack strings. Executing abilities in sequence triggers his internal reset loop, bypassing standard cooldown downtime and maintaining high hits-per-second output.

Initiate Movement Status: Activate a dash, slide, or movement skill to engage Linko's high-speed passive bonuses.
Execute Ability Sequence: Rotate through primary abilities to feed into his skill meter and trigger internal resets.
Reposition Between Inputs: Slide or dash behind targets while skill timers refresh, keeping damage buffs active without pausing combat.

Stat Priorities and Gear Focus

Building Linko requires balancing skill frequency with raw element scaling. Prioritizing stat efficiency ensures his kinetic damage stays active during high-mobility sequences.

Stat Category	Priority Target	Operational Function
Primary Stat	Cooldown Reduction	Decreases base wait times between skill resets.
Primary Stat	Kinetic Damage	Scales total damage output for Linko's element type.
Secondary Stat	Movement Speed	Extends active uptime for movement-based damage buffs.
Gear Effect	Dash / Movement Triggers	Grants temporary stat bonuses upon executing movement abilities.

Avoid gear combinations that favor raw attack power at the expense of speed or cooldown reduction. High single-hit stats do not compensate for the loss of skill reset frequency.

Combat Positioning and Vulnerabilities

Linko operates best as a hit-and-run specialist who constantly shifts position across the arena. However, this high-mobility focus creates specific combat limitations:

Crowd Control Weakness: Stuns, freezes, and knockdowns interrupt Linko's movement. Being immobilized prevents skill resets and dramatically reduces his damage output.
Aggro Management: Rapid dashes can accidentally draw enemy attention toward weaker team members if combat space is tight.
Space Requirements: Linko requires room to maneuver. Pair him with squad members who allow open field space rather than characters who clump enemies into static zones.
