Overview

Lyria is an impressive buffer and healer with unique mechanics that is able to stand on par with SSR characters in utility and skill power. Although these mechanics often make people shy away from her at first look.
Her most notable traits are being one of two characters able to assume any element by synchronizing her element to the main character's, one of very few being unable to perform normal attacks, and finally the only one sharing her life with the main character: If either dies, the other immediately dies as a result.

Strengths

Synchronizes her element with the main character's so she is available in every element.
While Lyria is a main ally, summoning can be performed twice in a turn.
Fills her Charge Bar through skill use, allowing her not only to Charge Attack at will but to manipulate her charge bar to some extent. For example, a lack of 30% charge bar to perform her Charge Attack can be solved by using just one of her available skills.
Lyria's skills are comparable to several SSR characters' in strength.

Can reset the cooldown of one of her skills, selected at random, by summoning Dark Flame Scion.

Weaknesses

Life-Link means that if Lyria or the main character dies, they both die simultaneously. Since she's an SR character, she has a lower HP amount than SSRs or the main character have available. This is a serious issue earlier on, but can be diminished with smart use of her skills, EMP allocation, and more base HP from the weapon grid.
Lyria cannot normal attack. This means that she can only cause direct damage by Charge Attack. She can still contribute massive damage through Roaring FireAll allies gain 30% ATK UpATK is boosted

How to Play

Keep her as a main ally. Lyria should not be kept as a sub ally since that will disable all summons. This is important to note in battles where enemies can move the position of your characters. She can still summon normally if left as a main ally while the main character is moved to the sub position, however.
Lyria gains charge bar mostly from her own skills, so use them often. Lyria can generate 100% charge bar for herself by using multiple skills. She can fill her charge bar on the first turn of battle by spending 2 to 4 skills depending on her EMP upgrades and whether a crew charge bar boost is active. During Strike Time or later in battle, she can Charge Attack two turns in a row by following the first Charge Attack with multiple skills. Summoning Dark Flame Scion can also net you more charge bar by resetting her cooldowns.

Make use of her double summoning ability. It is possible to perform two different Calls in a single turn for simultaneous buffs that wouldn't have been possible on that turn otherwise. In raids, time the summons to benefit from two combos in a turn or keep a spare summon always available to snipe an opportune combo like Shiva (Summon), Lucifer, Bahamut or any Carbuncles.

Synergy

Lyria can fit well with any party. Her ability to match the main character's element means she can always be of use. If used often, she will quickly increase EMPs, and her Charge Attack will be quite a good source of damage. Her buffs are quite powerful and versatile, so she is useful in any battle.

She is less useful on a party that can already provide the buffs she have, since they do not stack. But it also means you can bring more offensive characters as she can provide defensive buffs and some healing.

The event summon Dark Flame Scion resets one of her abilities. This means an additional ~30% charge bar increase whenever that summon is used. Many summons provide a better aura, but you can still bring it as a sub summon to trigger this ability.

On Renown Pendant farming teams, Lyria can fill an SR slot with minimal or no loss of power. She can also replace a Sidewinder main character after they have taken their turn by taking advantage of the ChangeMain Character switches positions with a sub ally. skill.

C.A.-Focused

This build is made for grids that can naturally hit cap damage on Charge Attack, therefore not using the Attack nodes and freeing these stars for the DEF and HP. It also benefits massively from cap damage lifting items and summons such as the Seraphic Weapons, Celestial Weapons, Arcarum Summons on sub-grid and buffs like Rage IVAll parties gain 40% ATK UpATK is boosted
Strength: 40%Multiplier: NormalDuration: 3 turns.

(Consumes 30% of charge bar.) and Kaguya (Summon)'s Call.

Following the implementation of her Support Skill node, Lyria can now passively generate 10% charge per turn. This makes her Charge Attack available considerably more often in fights longer than a couple of turns, compensating a little for her lack of normal attacks. It is also much more valuable than the extra 1~3% bar per skill cast given by her Charge Bar Speed node, although both could be combined later for further charging speed.
Assuming Lyria has enough HP from her node and your grid to survive a couple of hits, we stay away from the Hostility Down node as she can help reduce overall damage by soaking some of it through Mirror ImageNext one-to-one attack received will be ineffective
(Effect removed on next all-foe all-ally attack)
and her RefreshHP is restored on every turn
through the entire front row. This is especially true if paired with another DEF buffer like Magisa or Mechanic so DEF UpDEF is boosted

Additional stars can be put towards Charge Bar Speed, C.A. DMG or Defense by preference.

Full-Offensive / Starting EMP Spread

From reddit:

1 point into Charge Bar (1)
3 points into Crit (4)
3 points into C.A. DMG Cap (7) [As needed when C.A. DMG hits cap]
2 points spread across each C.A. DMG (9)
2 points spread across each C.A. DMG (11)
2 points spread across each C.A. DMG (13)
2 points spread across each ATK (15)
2 points spread across each ATK (17)
1 point in an ATK (18)

As you update your grids, Lyria's Charge Attack can push into the damage cap even with the C.A. DMG Cap EMP, as this happens you can begin to free up points from ATK and reallocate your stars elsewhere.

Suggestions

Hostility Down if you want to focus less on her extra charge gain from getting hit and more on her actually living, and if she's enough of a central focus to you living that you can't afford her to get hit too much.
Charge Bar. 1 point is generally good enough, but more points might be a thing if you want to ensure she gets as much charge as possible when using her skills and/or getting meter from other characters' Charge Attacks.
Defense/HP matter a bit more here since she has SR stats and thus will crumple easier than SSRs, generally speaking.
Debuff Resistance if, and only if, you don't run Veil Characters and are hoping (with wishful thinking) that Enduring Earth will spare you.

Gamewith's recommended EMP build for Lyria.

Priorities

Focus on C.A. Damage and C.A. DMG Cap, then get her Attack, and finally Critical Hit.
