On November 6, Lind arrives in Girls’ Frontline 2 as a new Corrosion DPS, debuting with her own rate-up banner, the Thorn Criterion weapon, and the limited-time The Sun Never Rises outfit. She scales her damage with her team’s Corrosion output, making her a key pick for players building high-damage debuff-focused squads.

Lind Overview
Frostfall’s finest doesn’t fight without her sugar fix.
Lind is a Corrosion DPS whose power scales with her team’s Corrosive output. She thrives in parties that stack lingering damage effects, amplifying her own numbers as the debuffs pile up.

Lind Skills & Keys
Every hit’s a sugar-coated meltdown.
Her keys turn corrosion into pure damage.
Key Highlights
Top Picks:
- Key 4: Civilized Judgment: If this skill only hits 1 enemy, increases damage dealt by 30%
- Key 6: Withdrawal Reaction: Before skill usage, gains Critical Rate Boost II for 2 turns
Situational:
- Key 3: Radio Invitation: Best when paired with Mechty (with Expansion Key). At battle start, select Mechty as the designated ally. The chosen ally can’t move or use skills for the rest of the fight but reduces all enemies’ DEF by 15% until they’re defeated. Lind also gains 1 Extra Action.
- Key 5: Dessert Therapy: Great for boss fights with frequent debuffs. If Lind has Sugar, she cleanses 1 debuff from herself before attacking.
Lind’s abilities make her effective immediately at V0, making her a safe one-copy pull.
Rate-Up Banner: Lind, Krolik & Nemesis
Pull fast before the banner fades.
Lind debuts alongside Krolik and Nemesis on the latest rate-up banner. She’s a high-impact Corrosion DPS right from V0, and her scaling potential makes her a key piece for damage-heavy teams that rely on debuffs and corrosion synergy.
Vertebrae Breakpoints:
- V0: Fully functional and strong out of the box. Good for F2P or collection purposes.
- V1: Improves skill 2 usage and ult rotation.
- V3: Increases her application of Honey Trap, creating a more consistent debuff and support
- V6: Enables her ult every turn she has, instead of every other turn, pushing her damage significantly.
Disclaimer: It’s not recommended to pull for V3/6; one copy is sufficient for most players.
Verdict: V0R0 > V1 > V3 >= R1 >= V6
Stop at V0R0 if you’re on a budget—she’s efficient enough without extra investment.
Team Recommendations
Lind thrives in Corrosion-focused teams, pairing especially well with V6 Klukai, whose AoE and Vertebrae synergy amplify Lind’s damage. She remains viable with V0 Klukai, but don’t expect the same level of performance.
- Lind / Mechty / Peritya / Healer or Flex / V6 Klukai
Lind can also flex outside Corrosive squads when built correctly, offering solid damage and support in hybrid team setups.
Thorn Criterion: Lind’s Signature Weapon
Thorn Criterion cuts deep with every strike.
Effect:
- Increases AoE damage by 5%
- If AoE Corrosion damage is dealt, increases AoE damage by another 5%
- Before attacking, boosts damage per enemy debuff (3%–9% per stack, up to 18%–45% based on imprint)
- When Corrosion damage is dealt, increases Corrosion damage by 10%
Imprint Skill:
- +2.5% damage to PMC units
- Additional +2.5% damage if the target has Corrosion debuffs
Should You Get Thorn Criterion?
Thorn Criterion strengthens Lind’s natural synergy with Corrosion teams, rewarding debuff stacking and AoE play. It’s a great weapon if you plan to maximize her output, but far from required.
- AA-12 (SR): Budget-friendly and performs nearly on par with higher-tier options.
- Heartseeker or Mezzaluna: Great choices for keeping her DPS competitive without heavy investment.
Rerun Banner: Niketta, Littara & Ksenia
Niketta and friends make a splash once more.
Niketta returns alongside Littara and Ksenia on the rerun banner. She’s a Hydro hyper carry and a must-have for anyone building a Hydro team, remaining strong even at V0.
- V0: Fully usable with a simple rotation — S1 → S2 → Ultimate → Repeat
- V1+: Gains a more optimized loop — S2 → S1 → S2 → Ultimate → S2 → Ultimate (until Kulich falls)
- V3: Slightly overtakes a V6 Tololo
- V6: Roughly 150% the power of a V6 Tololo
Weapon Recommendations
- WA’s Signature or Mosin’s Signature are best choices
- Her own Signature Weapon performs about 5% lower in total DPS but remains viable
Recommended Teams
Niketta works best alongside Springfield and Tololo.
V1 Springfield still functions but requires a tighter rotation.
Aim for V2+ Springfield to maintain her S2 buff on both units.
Additional Outfits
The Sun Never Rises Outfit
Lind’s style rises even when the sun doesn’t.
Lind’s The Sun Never Rises outfit is available in the Outfit Shop from November 6 – November 25 at a launch discount for $9.99 / 880 tokens.
Final Thoughts
Lind’s a corrosion-core DPS who doesn’t need extra copies or her signature weapon to shine. Her ramping damage, team synergy, and charming presentation make her an easy recommendation for anyone investing in Corrosion compositions.
She’s easy to build, fun to use, and proof that sometimes the sweetest things can still melt everything around them.
Good luck, Commanders — may your pulls corrode your pity, not your patience.
