Lyney, Five-Star Character in Genshin Impact 4.0 Version

Lyney is the Celebrated Magician of the Court of Fontaine, wowing the nation’s crowds alongside his sister and assistant, Lynette. In battle he acts as the team’s main DPS, using a bow and the Pyro element to empower his charged attacks and defeat enemies in a dazzling display.

How to Build the Best Lyney in Genshin Impact 4.0 Version

This Lyney DPS build takes advantage of Lyney's mechanic of consuming a portion of his HP whenever he uses his special Charged Attack. We expect The First Great Magic to be his signature, while the Marechaussee Hunter set synergizes well with his kit.

You can also use the Vermillion Hereafter set as you can attain its HP-loss effects with 4 Charged Attacks, but in order for this build to work, be mindful to use Lyney's Elemental Burst first to trigger the set's 4-piece passive effect.

Best Weapons for Lyney in Genshin Impact 4.0 Version

The First Great Magic

As an archer, Lyney’s weapon has to be a bow, though there are several options to choose from. Nevertheless, the best weapon for Lyney in Genshin Impact is his signature bow, The First Great Magic, also introduced with Version 4.0. The bow has a fantastic base ATK stat (608 at level 90), with an impressive CRIT DMG sub-stat (66.2% at level 90). This makes it a fantastic bow for any archer DPS in the game, but its weapon skill makes it even better for Lyney, specifically. The ability, Parsifal the Great boosts the DMG of Charged Attacks by 16%, which matches his skill set.

In addition to this, the weapon grants stacks of Gimmick to Lyney for each team member with the same Elemental Type as the wielder, including themselves. Gimmick stacks increase ATK by 16%/32%/48% when there are 1/2/3 or more stacks. For each party member with a different Elemental Type, the user gains a stack of Theatrics. For 1/2/3 or more stacks of Theatrics, the user gets a 4%/7%/10% increase to Movement SPD.

Best Artifacts for Lyney in Genshin Impact 4.0 Version

Golden Troupe (4-piece) is the best artifact set for Lyney, but if you don't have it, you can go with Crimson Witch of Flames (4-piece).

Golden Troupe

2-Piece Bonus: Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 20%.

4-Piece Bonus: Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 20%. Additionally, when not on the field, Elemental Skill DMG will be further increased by 20%. This effect will be cleared 2s after taking the field.

Crimson Witch of Flames

2-Piece Bonus: Pyro DMG Bonus +15%

4-Piece: Increases Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using an Elemental Skill increases 2-Piece Set effects by 50% for 10s. Max 3 stacks.

Best Team Compositions for Lyney in Genshin Impact 4.0 Version

Lyney should be counted as an on-field damage dealer. His reliance on Charged Attacks means that he’ll have constant Pyro application, which can be used for devastating elemental reactions. However, a Lyney with The First Great Magic will excel in mono compositions due to the buff to his damage generated that way. Here’s an example for this archetype:

Lyney (Main DPS)

Xiangling (Sub DPS)

Kazuha (Support)

Bennett (Support)

Both Pyro Resonance and The First Great Magic’s passive effect will enhance Lyney’s damage in a team with two other Pyro characters. Xiangling provides fantastic off-field damage as well as various buffs and debuffs that further assist Lyney. Bennett as the premium Pyro healer is there to keep Lyney up and running, boosting his damage through his own buff.

Finally, an Anemo character like Kazuha can bring Swirl reactions as well as elemental resistance shredding to the table. You can replace Kazuha with Venti, Sucrose, Lynette, or Jean.
