For those wishing to add Lyney to their party in Genshin Impact, we’ve put together an early preview of his combat kit. This guide will cover Lyney’s abilities, Elemental Skill, Burst, and other details about his playable version. Read on for more information on this upcoming character.
Genshin Impact Lyney Kit: Abilities
Normal Attack – Card Force Translocation
- Normal Attack – Performs up to four consecutive shots with a bow
- Plunging Attack – Fires off a shower of arrows mid-air before falling and striking the ground which deals AoE Damage upon impact
- Charged Attack – Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased damage. While aiming, flames will run across the arrowhead before being fired which can lead to different effects depending on the time spent charging.
- Level 1 Charge – Fires off a Pyro-infused arrow, dealing Pyro damage
- Level 2 Charge – Fires off a Prop Arrow that deals Pyro damage and upon hit, it will summon the Grin-Malkin Hat
- Grin-Malkin Hat – Can taunt nearby opponents and attract their attacks. Each opponent can only be taunted by the Grin-Malkin Hat once every five seconds. The hat’s endurance is a percentage of Lyney’s maximum health. If destroyed, or if its duration expires, it will fire off a Pyrotechnic Strike at one nearby opponent, dealing Pyro damage. Only one Grin-Malkin Hat can exist at any given time.
- Pneuma –At certain intervals, when the Prop Arrow hits an opponent, a Spiritbreath Thorn will descend on that opponent’s location, dealing Pneuma-aligned Pyro damage.
Elemental Skill – Bewildering Lights
Lyney’s Elemental Skill allows him to unleash a brilliant barrage of fireworks that damage opponents. When used, it clears all of Lyney’s current Prop Surplus stacks and emits Area of Effect Pyro damage to enemies in front of him. Additionally, the skill causes Lyney to regenerate HP based on his maximum HP. If Lyney has summoned his Grin-Malkin Hat to the field, the fireworks will make the hat explode for extra AoE Pyro Damage equal to that of his Pyrotechnic Strike ability.
Elemental Burst – Wondrous Trick: Miracle Parade
Lyney channels his magical powers to transform into a swift Grin-Malkin Cat. When in this form, getting near opponents causes flames to rain down, dealing a single instance of Pyro damage to each enemy. Once the duration ends or Lyney activates his Elemental Skill, the Grin-Malkin Cat is dismissed in a spectacular burst of fireworks. This explosion deals Area of Effect Pyro damage, summons one Grin-Malkin Hat to the field, and grants Lyney a Prop Surplus stack to empower his abilities.
