The Mysterious Lyney: A Journey Through His Past
Lyney, widely known as the 'Spectacle of Phantasmagoria,' hails from Fontaine and is renowned for his magical prowess. With a twin sister named Lynette and another sibling, Freminet, Lyney's upbringing is interwoven with mystique. He found his home in Arlecchino's House of the Hearth after learning the ropes of magic from Cesar amidst the lively streets of Fontaine.
The enigmatic magician bears connections with the Fatui, thereby sparking questions about his ultimate motives. Will he serve a dark agenda or wield his magic for the greater good? Your encounters with him in the Version 4.0 Archon Quests promise to unfurl these intriguing layers.
Lyney's Arsenal: A Comprehensive Skill Breakdown
Normal and Charged Attacks
Lyney is a Pyro Bow user whose core strength lies in his distinctive Charged Attack, Card Force Translocation. This move allows him to conjure a Grin-Malkin Hat, essentially a feline housed in headgear, that unleashes additional instances of Pyro DMG.
Elemental Skill: Bewildering Lights
Lyney’s Elemental Skill, Bewildering Lights, synergizes flawlessly with Card Force Translocation. The skill permits Lyney to expend his HP to amass Prop Surplus Stacks. When detonated with Bewildering Lights, these stacks can culminate in a Pyro explosion of epic proportions.
Elemental Burst: Wondrous Trick: Miracle Parade
Lyney’s Elemental Burst, aptly named Wondrous Trick: Miracle Parade, offers a burst of Pyro DMG along with a complimentary stack grant.
Ascension Passive: Conclusive Ovation
His true prowess is unveiled at his 4th Ascension, thanks to his passive skill Conclusive Ovation. This skill ramps up Lyney’s damage against Pyro-affected targets by a whopping 100%. Although this passive pigeonholes Lyney into a Mono-Pyro team, the extraordinary damage amplification easily outweighs the limitations.
Team Compositions and Synergies
Lyney’s Pyro-centric kit makes him particularly F2P-friendly. Xiangling serves as a strong complementary unit given her free availability, while Bennett’s role as a guaranteed reward from the Mega Meka Melee event in 4.0 provides a second viable option.
Event Wish & Availability
Lyney will be up for grabs in his dedicated Character Event Wish, “Conjuring Chiaroscuro,” running until September 5, 2023. Sharing the spotlight are 4-star characters Barbara, Bennett, and Lynette.
Final Thoughts: To Pull or Not to Pull?
In summary, Lyney is an explosive Pyro DPS with an uncomplicated yet effective kit, which makes him a worthwhile addition to nearly any lineup in need of Pyro damage. His presence in F2P-friendly team compositions is another feather in his cap.
