Hello and welcome to this Lone Destruction: Shadowchaser Guide!
I hope I'll be able to help you, let's start~

✦ Short Overview ✦
Typing: Fire / PSY
Wheel of Destiny Roles: Fire DPS / Elemental and Crit Support
World Star Roles: Fire and Physical Support / Resonance trigger
For details on the meanings of those roles, I recommend to read my Astral Ring Specialisation guide:
Currently Lantern is used for Thelema and she'll most likely be used for the next Physical DPS.
With her elements she limits the use of Luna and Garuda a little again and I guess she can be considered a HFS powercreep? Not like HFS was still good.
✦ Source ✦
Lantern can only be obtained in gacha, her first supply will be in 7.5:
It's a normal expansion banner, meaning you're guaranteed to get her within 90 pulls.
...or whatever your current expansion pity is.
Your first 10 pull on the supply only costs 5 pulls.
On the global servers, this banner releases on June 8th and end on July 5th.

Why are P2 kits such text walls... I decided bullet points make more sense than short sentences for them

✦ Rank-ups ✦
I... maybe forgot to do a DMG comparison in beta
in case you made one and want some advertisement, would be nice if u allowed me to link it here:)
✦ Weapon Syncs ✦
Sync 1 is generally fine. Initial SP from syncs helps a lot in MA.
Sync Skill: Enemies take 3% / 6% / 9% more Total DMG from the character on the field (independent & exclusive).
When equipped by LDS (Lantern) she gains 20 / 35 / 50 more initial SP.

✦ Team & Rotation ✦
✧ Supports ✧
Lantern needs her Astral Ring, so P1 supports ain't working
Senadina absolutely needed, Thelema can be replaced by Coralie.
For details on them please check here:
new Thelema team will be pretty much the same
✧ Rotation ✧
Note: Please remember that rotations can always differ based on the boss, the DMG needed and your overall situation. This is only the base rotation, if you want to be sure watch videos of players who know what they're doing.

So then, is Lantern worth pulling?
If you have Senadina and Thelema, definitely!
I'd rank both of them as higher priority as for now.
