Stats / Weaknesses:

Element: Black Innate (weak to White)
Resistances: Immune to elements of the same color (Black)
Counters:

Hit with White Element: Casts Anti White (disables White Elements for target)
Hit with non-White Element: Casts Imbecile (lowers Magic Attack for target)

Phases:

Phase 1: Standard Attacks & Counters
Lynx uses his regular attacks and counters White Elements with Anti White, and other Elements with Imbecile. Focus on building your Elemental Power and controlling the Field Effect to White or anything other than Black.
Phase 2: Hell Soul Activation
When Lynx's HP drops significantly, he will begin using Hell Soul. This is a powerful one-hit-kill move, but it has a low accuracy rate. This is your cue to go all-out with your strongest offensive White Elements.

Strategy:

Element Usage: Since Lynx is a Black Innate, White Elements are your best bet. However, be mindful of his Anti White counter. Try to spread your White Element attacks among your party members so that if one gets disabled, others can still attack.
Field Effect: Try to shift the Field Effect to White or any color other than Black. This will boost your White Element damage and potentially weaken his attacks.
Offensive Push: When Lynx starts using Hell Soul, it's time to unleash your most powerful White Elements. Make sure you have strong offensive White Elements like Serge's Dash & Slash, Meteorite, and Photon Ray set in your highest Level slots (around Level 4) before the battle to maximize their damage output.
Managing Imbecile: If Lynx casts Imbecile on a character, their Magic Attack will be reduced, but they can still use their Elements. This is less detrimental than Anti White, so don't panic if it happens.

After the Boss Battle:

After defeating Lynx, a significant story event will occur. You'll be presented with a save menu, and it's crucial to save your game at this point. What happens next is quite epic and sets up major plot developments.
