    "Lyney is a very squishy character." I knew that going in but it feels like he's made of wet tissue paper. He hits like a freight train though, so balanced enough I guess.

      Idk if it's because i just started and so i have to use a Favonius bow on him due to lack of better alternatives (bow items for forging WON'T drop) but he doesn't feel squishy in the slightest since he can routinely heal himself for 60% of his own hp every 15 seconds

    There's a lot of meta shifts that would be crazy, but the part about bad artifacts making you tankier reminds me of one of my favorite things to imagine: What if there were no timers, and we merely wanted to do high dps in order to eliminate threats? Essentially, it'd turn into another form of dps-race, the kind where your own effective hp becomes part of the equation, and dodging skills/target prioritization/mechanics to subdue enemies etc. let you prioritize it less. Basically... Remember fighting the wolf as an AR20? That. (Of course, Zhongli cheese etc. would have to be accounted for while then also remaining top-tier)
    We can still get some foes with hp regen etc. that effectively make us wanna reach certain sustained or burst dps thresholds, and ideally there would be ways to mitigate that as a way around a chunk of that threshold requirement. A cool idea is one that requires sustained dps cause no reasonable burst dps gets through it all, but then the regen could be somehow disabled, at which point burst dps can get through before it comes back.
    As for scoring... Idk man, I don't really need to get a score for beating a boss in Dark Souls either, it's intrinsicaly rewarding to do well. And what does do well mean? Well, I love taking down a boss without getting hit. I love having a busted weapon that makes that easy, I love seeing how much I can abuse tanking or safe attacking tactics to make an eventual win easy, and I especially love trying to see what merits unconventional approaches may have, it's just whatever I feel like. I'd prioritize that organic feel over fascilitating a scoring system myself, and hey, less excessive anxiety! They just gotta make sure there is a lot of room for making it tough, I'm usually not in favor of setting difficulty, but it seems like an easy option here. Even with that, I bet less players would be stressed out if a careful approach was so viable.

  • @kimarimoi
    @kimarimoi ปีที่แล้ว +14

    It feels like they've stopped increasing enemy HP (other than those overworld omega hydro slimes) and started giving them ludicrous damage instead. My usual teams had no trouble clearing floor 12 in time, but only when they didn't get one-shot by attacks I couldn't even see. Odd time to release a fragile charge-shot character for a team that normally has no shielder.

    Lyney's been one of my favorite characters to play lately, his kit feels very fluid and complete, like everything has a place and nothing feels tagged on for the sake of it. I run him with C4 tankfei, kazuha, and obv bennett, and i havent had THIS much fun playing the game since I got my C1 Kazuha on his first banner back in 1.6. He's a bow hypercarry, but he isnt as monotonous and boring as Ganyu, or as frustrating and clunky as Yoimiya. Genuinely a fantastic character and one of the few I pulled their signature weapon for.

    @OminousSlush ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For the Dehya segment and something I never really paid attention to from all of his gameplay over the years till he was focusing on charge shots only in this vid - not sure if it's mostly just him showcasing so not aiming for speedrun times/rotations or anything but I believe doing Left click wait for charge shot into R charge shot start is ever so slightly faster than just doing whichever method he's doing. Don't have a raw number but as a random guesstimate let's just say the normal method of going into the next shot while dropping it is .5s while the one I'm mentioning is .25
    Left click CA > drop > repeat
    or R charge shot > drop > repeat
    miniscule 0.X seconds saved but hey maybe the 2 extra shots out of the 4 can be slightly faster to weave in when you do Left click to R CA over 4 LC/4 R CA

    i managed to full star the secong half with liney not yet maxxed out, for me the only thing lacking for him to be great is a support that complements his kit. Wanderer for once have way more options for team building. Kazuha and Bennet are a must but I feel like a definitive last slot is yet to come, maybe Arleccino?

    You can cheese Icewind Suit boss with lyney/other CA characters if you stand in the corner of the arena. They will spam an attack where the robot lady will circle around but her attacks will never hit you, so you can proc VV/get particles on her and at the same time you can shoot the dude in the middle.

    I find that swapping out Kazuha for Lynette works quite well. Her burst taunting is a decent defensive support and she can still use VV. Its not much of a damage loss vs boss's but you will miss how well Kazuha groups enemies.

    • @verzetta
      @verzetta ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The damage loss is not small since Kazuha gives up to 40% damage bonus, vs 12% atk bonus by Lynette (Bennett already gives massive atk buff so damage buff becomes more valuable). However she can be an alternative due to her taunt utility like you said for players who don't have Zhongli and needs Kazuha for the other team, and she can still use VV.

    Xiangling is a better option at this stage purely because there are no other real alternatives but she is a suboptimal one as the main aspect of Lynsey’s gameplay is a charge attack stack which generates taunt. He is meant to be played from a distance not with a melee character. For this reason Kazuha is the same. I hope arlechino and cloud retainer sort this out. As for shielder I find Baizhu at c2 work well esp with the new artifacts set. Yes you get burn but you don’t die and you’re still doing a ton of damage. Don’t have zhongli yet, should be interesting to see the difference.

  • @andris404
    @andris404 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I couldn't complete 12-2-2 with Lyney when playing at point blank with Benny, Kazuha and Xiangling because he ALWAYS gets interrupted. BUT then I decided to keep my distance shooting from afar and only then I managed to complete it, even despite that his damage wasn't buffed by Benny and Kazuha. Which always was my preferred style of playing with Ganyu, but with Lyney it's even better because he has a better taunt.
    Overall I'm very happy with Lyney, I'm glad I've pulled him and triple crowned

    After playing with him I came to a conclusion that he is really similar to Alhaitham, a slighty situational upgrade to an already good team, not much flexibility, needs to do a proper combo (this aspect is more important on Alhaitham) and feels bad to play without a shielder (this aspect is more important on Lyney)
    I just hope in the future we got more support alternatives for him since he is really fun to play

    • @abbystafford7549
      @abbystafford7549 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      If you think Alhaitham is situational, inflexible or requires a shield then you have mean playing some strange version of Alhaitham because that's not the case at all.
      He appreciates resistance to interruption (XQ, Beidou) but you can just dodge and still get his mirror proccs. He has a range of teammates for Quickbloom or Spread variants.
      As for "situational upgrade"...? He and Nahida fulfill different roles and, in fact, share a best team (where they work *together*). If you're talking about Tighnari, he is way less flexible and only barely better than Alhaitham in pure single target, granted you have his signature bow. Otherwise, f2p Alhaitham beats him even there.

    • @NexusGamerss

      @@abbystafford7549 Resistance to interruption does not go well with his F2P BiS HoD, also batterying a low investment Beidou, especially on solo Electro is not very efficient.
      I don't know if it's a high ping problem, but dodging with Alhaitham can make his sword rain go to the wrong direction, making a huge DPS loss.
      And his only teams are Quickbloom and Quicken, his teammates have flexibility, not him, Burgeon felt bad, Quickburn terrible and I tried to use him as quickswap with Hyper Raiden, was fun but it was Raiden doing the most heavy lifting.
      Don't get me wrong his teams are strong but he is not flexible, compare him to Raiden (Hyper, National, HB, Aggravate) or Ayato (Off fielder, HB, Burgeon, Mono Hydro) even Cyno has more options (Quickbloom, Quickburn, Aggravate, Chaos or even full EM if you're onto this shit)
      I am also not comparing him to Tighnari since I do not have him.
      As for me, for Alhaitham I like to use him with Baizhu, since it frees the Nahida slot and makes you have to evade less to avoid the mirrors missing

    I do think another important thing that Zajeff didnt talk about was pneuma/ousia and how that affects Lyney's pull value.
    Hes currently our only Fontaine character thats actually good. Lynette is fine since shes off field, but for pneuma the options are a little rough. You might think that imcreases Lyney's pull value.
    HOWEVER, at least in this abyss, it is pretty easy to brute force the ousia/pneuma mechanics. So don't worry about pulling him for that.

    Based on my experience, you can actually "cheat" this Dehya-Bennett field timing problem: by learning how to dodge and keep moving when you aim.
    First you may shoot two shooting without buffs, then place the other rotation like kazuha/lynette/anemo, then apply dehya then bennett. After that, use your burst quick to heal a little, now you get three stack, charge two more, then you get 5 stacks + two unbuffed dmg as a result.
    The next part, the best part, is kaboom with his E.
