One thing I forgot to mention is his rotation can be a little tricky. I’ll include rotation guides in future video. You can start with this and optimize and change up based on enemies from here. I’m sure the comments will have more suggestions. You may want to swirl later in rotation so lyney can get that buff linger. 1. Lyney charge attack OR Bennet skill 2. Kazuha skill and burst 3. Bennet burst, skill 4. Xiangling burst skill 5. Lyney charge attack 1-2 times, burst to tag enemies, cancel burst with skill, charge attack repeat
Everyone is *okay* to leave at 80, just some of them benefit a lot more from being 90. The short version is that if a character heavily scales off of a stat beside ATK, then you should level them to 90 if you play them a lot. This is because ATK is the only stat that barely increases after 80, and also every elemental reaction beside melt and vape does a lot more damage at 90 too. It'd be like a 3 minute video, not that that's a bad thing.
That doesn't need a video, it can be solved in a medium-sized comment (like this one lmao) You can level them to 90 if they're focused on transformative/additive reactions, scale on HP/DEF or if you're SURE you're gonna use them a lot. Otherwise (for example they scale on ATK, only do multiplicative reactions/no reactions at all) you can keep them at 80 👍
I might just be based because I love him, but playing him has been some of the most fun I've had in a while. His scaling is insane, and the fact all of his talents do good damage is incredible. I'm working on triple crowning him.
If you know the right rotation, he can put a giga nuke from his Elemental skill. First 3 charge + Elemental Burst then cancel it before it pops, then use all Elemental bursts of other characters then switch back Lyney do 1charge shot and lastly use Elemental skill.
I think Lynette is very good with his mono pyro team. Doesn't need grouping that much and even shields because of every taunting hats on the field and more pyro
I agree! While her first passive isn't fully used, I think the value from her taunt and swirl ability more than makes up for it. I'm able to play him without a sheilder and not get hit due to having both him and his sisters taunt being on field
She isn’t good for him, but she’s anemo soo… but she is one of the worst anemo options. For defense, use a healer like jean or sayu and not her taunt, especially since he can do taunts himself. For VV, literally any other anemo character works so whatever. And though he doesnt _need_ grouping per se its still useful like every character. The only real reason you would use her is for using the siblings. Or because you don’t have other options since shes free. But even anemo mc is better because he shreds defenses so no she sucks.
@@valuccc I didn't say she's the best pairing but their kit together makes it easier to play around many enemies and be safer even if there's no shielder. Plus you already have bennet as a circle healer so having jean is a bit redundant and you want to be in long range so sunfire isn't that used. They're a good pair, not the best but still they compliment each other
You can always slot in C6 Amber, Wolves Gravestone/tenacity Dehya, C4 TTDS Yanfei, or use a geo and anemo unit together. Xiangling isn't necessary. She just can help with off field damage, but so can others.
@@DelfyDaun A world where you actually invest into the characters you enjoy using star glitter, or a world where you happen to pull them on standard banner. C6 starters have been out for over a year now via star glitter. But people would rather use it to obtain more event wishes than invest into starters since many of them are misunderstood by the community. You also don't know what other people have, so the suggestion is always there Incase they may have it. Not everyone wants to play the same 3 broken characters constantly or even likes those characters, nor do they have those characters c6 either. I also never said c6 Amber was a standard. It exists and therefore can be suggested in case someone potentially has it or actually invested in the character.
Lyney looks to me like he was tailor made for anyone new to Genshin - you get Bennett for free, Xiangling from the Abyss, and Lynette for free. That's Lyney's support cast right there and they're all free and obtainable early on. So if you jumped in right now, you could build him and his team without too much trouble, especially at low AR. If you like charged bow shots, That being said, Lyney's optimal team is also Tartaglia's optimal team. I think Tartaglia has stood the test of time and is arguably one of the best nuke characters in the game. Tartaglia is re-running in like two weeks, so, if you haven't pulled for Lyney yet, I'd wait for Tartaglia, and even if you're brand new, get the free Bennett, get the free Lynette, and then use Amber or Xiangling for your last pyro slot, and then pull for Tartaglia instead of Lyney. If money doesn't matter - i.e., if you're whaling - pull for Lyney and Tartaglia and Yelan and Zhongli and enjoy 3 of the strongest characters in the game. :P
The only down time for Tartagalia against lyney is the proper rotation and not over extending as the CD of Childe skills is quite punishing, Lyney is more easy to play that is the up for him but if you got good skills Tartagalia would be rewarding. Though from my exp I much enjoy and feel Lyney is stronger due to the weapons I have and artifact. Never had a good heart of the depth.
lol ur kinda right omg...yelan, lyney, childe, zhongli...stacked banners right here. unfortunately childe suffers the same problem as lyney, that they only really have 1 strong ceiling team
@@omu5560 In 4.0 you got him for free. Otherwise, you can get him from the Starglitter Shop. He's "free" because you can use your Starglitter to buy him.
Outside of his value in spiral, the most important thing is that he's really fun to play as far as bow users go, on an exploration team he feels effective too, the ability to drop a taunt anywhere has amazing strategy benefits.
Thank u for this video cause I feel like a lot of people has been very harsh on him idk why but lyney is clearly a very strong dps that make mono pyro a good team. It’s honestly one of the hardest choice already have yelan but her cons are strong and going for maybe c1 or c2 look very tempting but at the same time I like lyney kit and aesthetic so much
Ended up getting him in one multi at 30 pity so I went on the weapon banner since I have yelan already and I wanted to fill out my weapon index for more options. Now I have Lyney and his Signature!
19:37 I wish we'd get a sidegrade to Benny, like you said, but just. . . remember what happened when we got a sidegrade to Xingqiu, and then dual hydro happened. . . . I think Hoyo assumes that would happen. Still, I'd absolutely love a Yelan equivalent for Bennett.
He is 1 of the good example of what luxury character should be. You definitely don't need him but if you want him, he will do his job very well in his own team. For me, I skip bc I want Furina and maybe Neuvillette. Also, I like playing the game without Bennett or Xiangling, so I would rarely play him if I got him. I pulled his weapon banner tho bc I want good 5* bow for my Ganyu and both of them are good for her. Luckily, I got both of them.
@@oliviaaargh Right now, I put Aqua on Ganyu bc I just maxed level it and I have to grind material for Lyney's sig first. I plan to put Lyney's sig on Ganyu and Aqua on Yelan bc my Yelan is C1.
@@oliviaaargh BTW, IDK if I'm a full Bennett-Xiangling denier or not bc I don't use them + Xingqiu and Kazuha just to make abyss a bit limited and challenging. But, I still use them in score based combat event tho.
This was literally the best time for me to get Lyney. I got Amos' Bow on Baizhu's release (yes I did save up 127 fates f2p for Baizhu, don't judge me) I've spent a long time perfecting how to do aim shots because I wanted to know how to play a dps bow character, AND his kit gets rid of artifact rng, AND his weapon banner is insane, so-
He is amazing, I didn't plan to pull him I got lucky to get him in 10 pulls, another 10 got me his weapon. Ever since we are inseparable, he nukes the crap out of the enemies in few seconds
Western players who have a warped sense of what a good character is, also trash him. They think the only valid type of team is reaction damage. They dismissed Lyney the moment they saw mono pyro (along with him not being a waifu). My underleveled Lyney is already keeping up with vape Hutao damage total and is on par with Ganyu for his charge shots without a Bennett buff, only relying on his mono pyro passive.
China, Japan, and rest of Asia region is cool with Lyney's character design. It's specifically Korea that has a problem, due to how pervasive conservative anti-feminist (and anti-adjacent "woke" like LGBT) sentiment is, even among the younger gen. Kind of cringe that you are calling them out in a xenophobic way though, considering western politics is currently suffering from the exact same culture war nonsense. e.g. UK is heavily infested with anti-trans like JK Rowling, US republican party has been taken over by stupid BS like bathroom bills, "don't say gay" sex education bans, etc.
Regions, callouts, these things don't have the agency required to discriminate One could directly call OP a xenophobe, I suppose; but, since we can't read people's hearts, I feel like it makes the most sense to leave the judging up to the flying spaghetti monster
This is my thoughts as well looking at the game direction as their creating mechanics that would not overlap nor power crept the previous mechanics. For sure some unique support would be out there as Fontaine is heavily based with charge attack and artifact that buffs their mechanic of losing hp bit by bit so maybe Furina would take him to a higher level.
Okay hear me out… he’s like a weird bow version of Heizou. Where Heizou likes building up his Declension stacks, Lyney likes building up his hat stacks. Both use their elemental skill to consume their stacks and deal relative damage based on the stacks built. I was wondering why I was having so much fun with him and realized this was the reason.
Nah, he's just a 5 star version of Amber. Has a taunt, can trigger the taunt and make it deal AoE damage. It's just that for Lyney if you don't trigger it it will deal single target damage.
I accidentally pilled Lyney while trying to get Yelan on guarantee. I watched so many guides on how to build him and what team is best. So far I like your guide the best. It is clear, straight to the point and well spoken. Thanks for creating content for us Genshin players! PS: I get 1 shot killed in the open world with Lyney. I feel like wirhout Zhongli I die too often.
The most surprising thing to me is I know he's supposed to be like a single target charge attacker but the way his Aoe feels so strong and satisfying really got me second guessing if I even wanna charge attack 😂.
@@Marz333 Well I went into his worse abyss and cleared the rift hound mobs pretty effortlessly using his burst and skill alone. I only "suffered" for the pyro lector and used ayato to handle that part. But the aoe damage once you have a grouper is pretty good.
I am amazed you farmed him up so fast. I can tell he will be good but i am a long ways away from getting him even to usable! He does play well with Lynette since Lynette is fine as discount Kazuha. Love them in mono pyro!
Lyney does significantly more dmg in ST imo. And he can use Xiangling's Gouba to get res shred if there is no vv/zhongli. Ganyu's only advantage is her frostflake aoe, and her burst can be used with kazuha for mobbing.
Klees value vs lyney and basically anyone else is very hard to gauge for the same reason it has always been. Klee is mechanically intensive, and unless you learn to play her very optimally, she is extremely clunky. Her damage is vastly improved the more you optimize your gameplay as well. Klee can compete with or even surpass Lyney, but you cant just be a good player. You have to invest time and effort into learning Klee, which to many feels incredibly unrewarding and difficult. She will always be underrated in the meta because of this. But you could argue that if a character is impractically difficult for most players, that makes them worse. Its hard to say with her
I am an aspiring Klee main and I wonder if there's more to mechanical skill with Klee than jump canceling her charge shots/forward cancels for machine gun normals and just being real good at dodging, since you don't really have a shielder for her most optimal team? Btw absolutlely loving Lyney and I think his kit is interesting but got Qiqi instead so I guess I'll keep waiting for the archon (got his bow though on my way to aqua, I guess Tighnari will make good enough use of it lmao)
For me personally, needing to learn to play a character 'mechanically' is much more rewarding than basically being able to play a character perfectly from the start (*cough*Ayato and Yoimiya*cough*).
@@Szczurzyslawa Baseline is just N1CJ; that and dodging are pretty much enough to play Klee well. Then you can learn N2CJ (or rather (N1W)x2-CJ if I were to describe it more accurately - W is for walk cancel; basically using N1 twice into charged attack and jump cancel) which is mainly for juggling. N1W spam (machine gun) is not really used often, I just use it sometimes for fun.
I've been hearing he's around a similar power level of Hu Tao, but doesn't use Xingqiu. Being separated from Xingqiu may or may not be a good thing depending on what you're fighting. But I'm skipping Lyney anyway.
He doesn't want Xingqiu but Bennett instead. While you can use Yelan in Xingqiu's place, there's no one can replace Bennett for him in term of big atk buff.
@@cardnacn6704 u cant use a c0 yelan in a hutao team tho, her hydro app just isnt enough. with dendro xinqiu has become wanted in almost any team whille bennett hasnt, which means ur xinqiu is freed for the second side of the abyss.
I use Hutao (with c1 and Homa) a lot and Lyney being still underleveled (not ascended past 80, with 6/6/6 (using Lavawalker and Aqua bow) talents already outdoes her with only one hydro on her team. Lyney gets so much damage bonus from being on mono pyro that it completely makes up for lack of reactions. Though when I use Hutao with double hydro her team does a little better simply because she has Yelan and Xingqiu on her side.
I rerolled this morning, and at AR 10 I rolled on his Banner and got him on my second single pull. My third pull was Lynette so I should have her at C1. Now I can either pull for his weapon or just sit on primos for a while. Win
I'm so happy that I managed to win the 50/50 for him. I wasn't going to have enough to guarantee him since last banner was the one I saved up for. But not only did I manage to get him without having to wait for his rerun, but I also got some decent artifacts for his set. I spent almost a month prepping artifacts for Wanderer, and now I have a Lyney with better stats than Wanderer. Now I just have to level his talents up. lol Also getting his rotation down well. The charge attacks in the suggested rotation here will probably work better in Bennett's window than the other rotation I saw and was trying to do. I'm currently running him with Layla for his 4th slot. I skipped Kazuha, so I don't have him. I'm working on leveling Lynette. Even though my Faruzan artifacts are good, my Sucrose ones still aren't. I really like her, but her EM artifacts don't like me. Lynette can at least borrow Faruzan's. For his weapon, I'm using Viridescent Hunt. He only has one roll of crit rate on all of his artifacts, so his crit rate ends up around 56% with Viridescent and before it goes up with his artifacts. Not counting only a few artifacts, crit rate just hates me. I've never pulled on weapon banner, but it would be tempting if I get enough for a five star before the banner ends. I'm at 30 wishes atm. I only have two five star weapons, both catalyst. It's just I'd probably have to hope for more crit rate on artifacts while going for Fischl's for the 1:2, and I was planning on saving up for Venti next.
i got so lucky with lyney, i lost the 50/50 from like no pity to just barely get him with all but ten od my wishes, put the last 10 on the weapon banner with no pity and got really lucky getting it. i also only been playing like 3 months and held off to do fishcls artifacts til the new ones so i just happened to be blowing a lot of resin on that his artifact set anyways. hes pretty cracked on my account now lol
It really depends. Look at your Asimon abyss fight, you are losing that 3 stars because you stick to the 'herd say' mono pyro team. Switching up team members depending on the enemy is the key to victory.
I think rosaria is really good in lyney teams. My circumstances might be far different considering c6 bennet. Lyney Bennett Rosaria (Zhongli dont like it because geo can lessen the aura element and snatch a reaction) Lyney Bennett Rosaria, (Sucrose or Mona both with thrilling tales.) Lyney has such a flexible rotation that he can choose to front load or backload his damage profile. In the case of forward melt front load it. A detail that most do not consider is that the hat stays on field if switching. Which given a quick application of cryo or erasing the initial pyro from the charged attack hitting an opponent enables forward melt. I havent considered him in a quick swap composition because him sharing the burden of contributing to dps requires a certain type of sub dps (xiangling, albedo,) that are not reliant on normal attack frequency such as xingqiu,yelan, beidou.
I use Zhongli with Archaic Petra instead of Kazuha in some situations and it works well enough to clear content. I would not use Zhongli without Archaic.
Im loving running him with baizhu bennet and xianling with him the seemless shields double his burn dot and works perfectly with his charge drain and plus thrilling tales go brr with noblese
It almost feels like they are making sure that no pyro dps they make will be too over the top just to leave room for pyro archon becoming and staying meta
I really like your content, thanks for the great video. I really like your approach. I am a newer player, and at this point of the game I was working on my second team for the abyss. I was going to pull yelan. But then I saw and tried Lyney and now my second team is mono pyro. Is it practical? No. Do I love this character? Yes, he is my favourite now. I might not be able to clear every abyss, unless I get more characters, but I’ll be having so much more fun while doing it.
I'm still building lyney, but I use him, I use a 3 star bow because it has crit damage, I'm building a crit lyney, and I say all weapons are good as far as you have what you're looking for. My unbuilt lyney did around 17k damage
I really need to know. I've been using Thoma because I want a shield and a pyro user. Is it a good idea to switch Thoma for yanfei C4 with TTDS? It's like a buffer and a shield and it's pyro. Is it worth it tho? (I don't have zhongli :(. )
I’m really pleased to see though that he doesn’t go after Yoimiya’s niche. Was worried after the Noelle/Itto stuff (though ofc Lyney is a much more long awaited 5star)
Hey could you make, (or point me to,) a video that discusses most common techs and tips for playing the game mechanically? I play on ps4, and ive heard about charge or sprint canceling, among many other "techs" but i have no idea how that woukd translate to gamepad. Thanks in advance for any info!
I like bow characters, but I don’t think I’ll pull for him. His value feels REALLY low. Obviously he’s the “mono pyro” character so it would make you think he has similar value to Shenhe or Gouro, but I think the difference is that Gouro gave power to an underwhelming archetype while Shenhe is still meta/near meta outside mono cryo (like freeze, melt, and physical). Lyney isn’t particularly flexible and he’s being introduced to the element that needed a mono character less than all the other elements. The core of Xiangling, Bennett, Kazuha is so strong that mono pyro was already plenty strong for abyss 12. I play Diluc, Kazuha, Xiangling, Bennett in abyss 12 and it’s honestly the most satisfying and consistent rotation I’ve played (that or Raiden aggravate). To me, he seems more like a pull of you like him character, and unfortunately, there are a lot of characters I like coming up.
Hiii i got aqua today (i have yelan but i wanna use it for lyney) but i also lost my weapon banner thing so its 2/2, im f2p do you think should i just continue tryna get the first great magic for him or should i just accept aqua ?? there is no one i wanna pull coming soon
Are we supposed to be ashamed that we're not gay and have the normal psychological experience of aversion when we see men dressing in women's clothing? I like his kit, but his outfit is repulsive.
@@krablingHis outfit looks great. If a man in stockings and thigh straps is enough to upset you then that's your own fragile masculinity and/or homophobia showing.
Truth. I have also seen people call him far weaker then Hutao and Yoimiya. I am not saying he is stronger/better but he is on par with them at the least. People just don't like the idea of mono element teams, and think they could never beat reaction teams, and so far this has been true. Mono geo is good (I use it a lot and it clear content) but not meta or even the most efficient), but if Itto had the mono elemental passives Lyney does, he would be so much more of a beast. Also a lot of players like to say a character is weak simply because they are not a waifu.
Eyy Jello I've been seeing a lot of videos and arguments comparing lyney to hutao... This and that etc... As for my own opinion yes Lyney is a very solid pyro dps with the right team.. Same goes for hutao.. But what they don't realize is they are both played differently... Some argue that lyney is handicapped because no access to vape but still dishes out big damage... Maybe that's because his kit entirely revolves around making a mono pyro team for him to maximize his passive... As for HuTao she needs a vape team to maximize her own damage... I don't see the why they always have to compare who's better... Its like comparing Eula to Ayaka... both have different kits but they're both cryo 😂
Yeah maybe for Hu Tao rerun I’ll do a proper comparison video for all pyro dps. I feel they fall in the same tier and from the math I think lyney is a little worse. But for me to actually draw a conclusion I’d have to do a LOT more testing And I agree they feel so different to build and play comparing to Hu Tao was an afterthought to me
So many of the people calling Lyney weak/bad are the ones who are so focused on reactions being the only way to play. They also won't get Lyney so they will not see his damage for themselves they only listen to people like themselves. Lyney's mono pyro bonuses he gets are surprisingly enough to make up for lack of reactions, as a mono geo Itto team user, I can see just how amazing Lyney's kit is, mono geo is still viable even though it is not meta but if Itto had the kind of passives that Lyney does, he would be even more of a beast, Gorou basically has the support version of Lyney's passives. I can understand comparing characters because not everyone is willing to spend for characters if they are not needed so knowing how they compare is a valid concern. But unfortunately many people decided Lyney was bad before his release when they saw mono pyro (or they are a waifu simp) but those don't make them calling him weak valid, it just means they are allowed to not like his playstyle or him as a character.
Thanks for this great analysis. Since healing is important for Lyney to get more stack, would Jean be a good option as the 4th character in the mono pyro team?
as a healer who can use VV set, she will do fine, though she won't provide any additional bonuses or grouping like other anemo units can she can still work. Though Bennett leads to higher damage output, but Jean and Bennett have good synergy together if you are familiar with sunfire comps so that could be fun to try with Lyney.
Good information, except for the fact that you said, there’s no reason to get him to level 90. If you’re going to put in all of the in game resources through his artifacts and talents, it is incredibly worth it to take him to level 90.
When Nilou came out, everyone was screaming bloody murder because she was locked to hydro and dendro teammates. And now we have Lyney who is essentially a one team character, and everyone is like "OK, seems reasonable".
Tbh, the circumstances of their releases are pretty different. Lyney already had his best team(s) right out of the box and hence why he just feels as "another option", Nilou only had 3 dendro characters for her to utilize as THE Bloom specialist and people were waiting for Nahida's release to improve her teams. With all the dendro options we have now, her passive feels a lot less restrictive than it used to upon release imo.
But Nilou is literally all or nothing, you either have only Dendro or Hydro in your team or she misses out on her best passive. Lyney still gains 60% bonus damage on his passive if he's the only pyro on his team, as long as the enemy has a pyro aura. I personally don't like either design choices but Lyney's is definitely more favourable in my opinion.
Unlike Nilou, Lyney can play well in different teams, having huge damage here and there, and Nilou is practically useless in other teams, except for blooming
Nilou COMPLETELY loses her passive if you put any character different than the Bloom crew. Lyney STILL has his passives, he just GAINS damage when you cater your teams to them. Stop pretending like that incredibly forced way to make Bloom good is ANYTHING like Lyney.
Question or opinion I only have yelan c0 she only I pull today 4.0 banner and still good pull Right? If I don't have another character on the banner of 4.0 especially lyny?
I noticed you're running double Fav in the Lyney team. Does lyney not generate enough energy for the team or is this a personal comfort choice? I dont like using FavonIus weapons
i must admit i am INCREDIBELY annoyed at the fact that we really dont have a character who even compares to kazuha. i love him very much but u can really only use him on one team at a time in abyss yk...
Is xinyan a good shielded with lyney? I’ve been thinking about building her for his team so that he has a full passive stack without taking out a pyro what do u/y’all think
Hi, just wanna let you know that Childe international will be superior in every situation compared to Lyney. What most non Childe mains don't know is that international is still one of the best single target teams, only losing out to Alhaitham HB at C0 investments. The secret tech that most people don't know is that you can "drive" your pyronado, allowing it to hit up to 20 times (hard to achieve, but 18 is very easy to achieve) compared to the usual 12 times if you just stand still and do N2C. Each pyronado should hit for 50k on average with C4 xiangling and C6 instructor bennet with C0 kazuha full EM on fav, making it 900k from pyronado alone (for reference, my C0 hutao funerational team deals around 1.3-1.4 million dmg per rotation with N1CJx9, aka max potential combo for C0 hutao). Then there is also dmg from kazuha's burst, childe's burst, childe's N2C, Childe's riptide dmg, guoba's vape (it's not a meme, can contribute 100k dmg if crown and C6). This tech isn't just blindly running counterclockwise, it's a bit more complicated than that. If anybody wanna know how it works then you guys can look up Nashi's channel, he's a very good Childe speed runner. So from a pure meta perspective, there is no reason to put Lyney in your team instead of Childe because you are sacrificing Xiangling's dmg by not vaping. If you make it this far, thanks for reading. Since I have your attention for so long, can you please turn up the volume a bit lol. It's a bit low I think.
i’m sick of everybody saying klee is SO difficult to learn. she isn’t. but if you don’t want to learn you’re not gonna have fun doing so, so you’ll call her clunky and use someone else. klee isn’t HARD she’s just poorly designed and you can cope with utilizing a few tricks if you want. SIMPLE.
I didn’t say she was SO difficult. I’ve done my best to learn her and I felt lyney outperformed her. But I know she has some more complex tricks that would take me longer to learn that I don’t want to, I just learned the basics. so I mentioned that maybe if you play better she could match lyney :)
In your opinion, Hu Tao+Sig or Lyney and Lyney? I've been saving for Hu Tao because i just really love her. Already got all the mats for her ascension and talents. But now I'm not sure. I was originally gonna go for C0R1 Hu Tap but now I really want Lyney and I just got the Skyward hard from the previous weap banner. I only have R5 Dragon's Bane for Hu Tao but I'm not sure if that's strong enough. I just started playing this game thid April and only got to 36 star Abyss just today. I need some answers. For reference I have completed Hu Tao team with Yelan, Xingqiu and Layla. I also have complete team for Lyney i even used Yelan National on the first time to 36 star it.
@@JelloImpact thanks. I've been thinking about this since yesterday after experiencing Lyney because his Gameplay is so much fun but doesn't deal as much damage as Hu Tao's main team.
I've been running a 100% f2p no wishing challenge account and I'm confused on which out of all free weapons (craftable/chests/dialogue/fishing/quest rewards) are actually the most worth to get and invest in. Do you have any video like this or something similar?
I have nothing against Lyney as a character but gameplay wise tho... He is not weak by any means but i personally think his setup and rotation takes way too long, i could live with that but.. The biggest reason why i won't be getting him is that he pretty much requires Bennett and to some extent XL....and i won't be using either of those, ever I hate Bennett and XL playstyle is so boring and again, without Bennett, she kinda sucks So yeah, because he kinda needs those 2 to function, it killed him for me Oh...and Kazuha, no thx At least he can be substituted by Sucrose, Faruzan or Lynette Tbh, i want Furina, Clorinde and Arlecchino way more, i am talking more in a "pulling for some Lynette cons and wouldn't mind getting him" kinda way
Lyney is probably going to have the same fate as Klee. An underrated unit that people hate on because they dont actually know anything about the character. I still personally prefer Klee here because I believe she is more versatile for high skill players, but theyre both very cool and its sad that mono pyro keeps getting the short end of the stick in terms of community opinion.
@@WackyIraqi777 Klee is actually very good in monopyro. Her damage is on par with Xiangling in the team. Monopyro is Klee's OG best team and there is a great synergy between all characters. But, I fell like there is straight up powercreep happening here with Klee monopyro and not enough people is talking about it. We need more testing to be sure who is better but I'm assuming a character specifically designed to work in monopyro teams will end up better in the end.
@JelloImpact You can run him with vape team lol Ihave tried it its perfect Main dps Lyney Sub dps dmg support xiangling Extra healer and vape reaction Kokomi And lastly zhongli for Petrify and anti interruption. Iam not running benny becuz ihate his healing mechanic he can't max heal your Hp
That is what I use when I use Zhongli with him. Normally my Zhongli uses tenacity but Lyney already gets so much attack from Bennett and Pyro resonance that he does not need the tenacity increase. It is a lower damage ceiling then Kazuha with VV but it is comfier and good enough to clear content because Lyney is so strong.
Ugh I like him a lot but I just got Yoimiya (early pity accident so Im happy) and don't use her... also have c5 Diluc already. If he wasnt so "monopyro only"... i hope some sort of benny team is possible.
Im loving Lynette more then lyney. But he’s good. I didn’t even intend to get him. I pulled for him by accident thinking I was pulling banner 2. Heartbroken but accepted.
Being good with Benny/XL/Kazuha is not a value. Character have to be very very bad or scale differently to not be good with Benny/XL/Kazuha. This is why people don't hype Lyney. Cuz he adds nothing new.
Lyney is one of the best choices to put on that team with Bennett/XL and Kazuha so if you want better clear teams he will get you there a lot faster then quite a few other units. Also, people don't hype him because they are focused on his lack of reactions, when his mono pyro bonuses are ridiculous. I would say he doesn't really add anything new because we had mono pyro Klee before but people not hyping him runs far deeper then that. Many people just don't want to believe that a newer pyro dps can actually keep up with Hutao who they feel is a golden standard for dps. (This is coming from a Hutao main who also wished for Lyney, and have yoimiya. I love my pyro users.)
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz I said "one of the best" not "the best". Also to add on, not many people like Childe or his playstyle, same could bes aid for Lyney but people might prefer one over the other. I have used Childe International in almost every abyss cycle since shortly after Kazuha's release so having Lyney is a nice change. I have never used Raiden National mostly because I prefer Childe.
@@Candytime9 being one of the best really doesn't sound a lot when there's only little contender for the team, only beating klee , a standard character, and 2 4 stars
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz I don't know what you are talking about. Almost any character can be put on that base team of Benny/Xiangling and Kazuha because it is such a strong base. Even characters that don't synergize with them can be put in and they will get carried by that base. So it actually does say a lot when a character can be put in that team and not be carried by them only.
@@Boorosan yep that's why I'm skipping his character design(looks) and cool factor is not there for me. If you like his design, looks and gameplay that's the most important thing and to keep in mind upcoming banners childe and zhongli are up next if you want them more you may have to pass on him depending on how much you have saved, He would really shine and fit will into a mono pyro team due to his passive. -The DMG Lyney deals to opponents affected by Pyro will receive the following buffs: Increases the DMG dealt by 60%. Each Pyro party member other than Lyney will cause the DMG dealt to increase by an additional 20%. Lyney can deal up to 100% increased DMG to opponents affected by Pyro in this way. Would recommend bennett, xiangling, Lyney and an anemo support with the Viridescent Venerer set that gives elemental resistance shred when swirling. Which if you somehow managed to not pull bennett on the banner or do not have him there his a leak that he will be free in an upcoming event.
One thing I forgot to mention is his rotation can be a little tricky. I’ll include rotation guides in future video.
You can start with this and optimize and change up based on enemies from here. I’m sure the comments will have more suggestions. You may want to swirl later in rotation so lyney can get that buff linger.
1. Lyney charge attack OR Bennet skill
2. Kazuha skill and burst
3. Bennet burst, skill
4. Xiangling burst skill
5. Lyney charge attack 1-2 times, burst to tag enemies, cancel burst with skill, charge attack
repeat
A video about which characters need 90 and which characters are ok staying at 80 would be amazing. I always feel confused about that. Thank you!
I talk about it in my character building guide but I suppose I could make an entire video on it 🤔
yeah that would be great !
Everyone is *okay* to leave at 80, just some of them benefit a lot more from being 90.
The short version is that if a character heavily scales off of a stat beside ATK, then you should level them to 90 if you play them a lot. This is because ATK is the only stat that barely increases after 80, and also every elemental reaction beside melt and vape does a lot more damage at 90 too.
It'd be like a 3 minute video, not that that's a bad thing.
That doesn't need a video, it can be solved in a medium-sized comment (like this one lmao)
You can level them to 90 if they're focused on transformative/additive reactions, scale on HP/DEF or if you're SURE you're gonna use them a lot.
Otherwise (for example they scale on ATK, only do multiplicative reactions/no reactions at all) you can keep them at 80 👍
The thing is look how much jargon you used. A new player has no idea what you just said
I might just be based because I love him, but playing him has been some of the most fun I've had in a while. His scaling is insane, and the fact all of his talents do good damage is incredible. I'm working on triple crowning him.
If you know the right rotation, he can put a giga nuke from his Elemental skill. First 3 charge + Elemental Burst then cancel it before it pops, then use all Elemental bursts of other characters then switch back Lyney do 1charge shot and lastly use Elemental skill.
Imma try that.
I think Lynette is very good with his mono pyro team. Doesn't need grouping that much and even shields because of every taunting hats on the field and more pyro
I agree! While her first passive isn't fully used, I think the value from her taunt and swirl ability more than makes up for it. I'm able to play him without a sheilder and not get hit due to having both him and his sisters taunt being on field
She isn’t good for him, but she’s anemo soo… but she is one of the worst anemo options. For defense, use a healer like jean or sayu and not her taunt, especially since he can do taunts himself. For VV, literally any other anemo character works so whatever. And though he doesnt _need_ grouping per se its still useful like every character. The only real reason you would use her is for using the siblings. Or because you don’t have other options since shes free. But even anemo mc is better because he shreds defenses so no she sucks.
Let ppl play how they want to play him. Ecspecially if it's the outside the Abyss.
@@valuccc I didn't say she's the best pairing but their kit together makes it easier to play around many enemies and be safer even if there's no shielder. Plus you already have bennet as a circle healer so having jean is a bit redundant and you want to be in long range so sunfire isn't that used.
They're a good pair, not the best but still they compliment each other
As a Lyney enjoyer who simply dont like to play Xiangling I am 100% joining the cope train for Arlecchino and Murata
You can always slot in C6 Amber, Wolves Gravestone/tenacity Dehya, C4 TTDS Yanfei, or use a geo and anemo unit together.
Xiangling isn't necessary. She just can help with off field damage, but so can others.
@@raurisaurus5057 Thx for the tips
@@raurisaurus5057 in what world is C6 Amber the standard? My Amber is C0 and I’m AR60
@@DelfyDaun A world where you actually invest into the characters you enjoy using star glitter, or a world where you happen to pull them on standard banner.
C6 starters have been out for over a year now via star glitter. But people would rather use it to obtain more event wishes than invest into starters since many of them are misunderstood by the community.
You also don't know what other people have, so the suggestion is always there Incase they may have it. Not everyone wants to play the same 3 broken characters constantly or even likes those characters, nor do they have those characters c6 either.
I also never said c6 Amber was a standard. It exists and therefore can be suggested in case someone potentially has it or actually invested in the character.
Lyney looks to me like he was tailor made for anyone new to Genshin - you get Bennett for free, Xiangling from the Abyss, and Lynette for free. That's Lyney's support cast right there and they're all free and obtainable early on. So if you jumped in right now, you could build him and his team without too much trouble, especially at low AR. If you like charged bow shots,
That being said, Lyney's optimal team is also Tartaglia's optimal team. I think Tartaglia has stood the test of time and is arguably one of the best nuke characters in the game. Tartaglia is re-running in like two weeks, so, if you haven't pulled for Lyney yet, I'd wait for Tartaglia, and even if you're brand new, get the free Bennett, get the free Lynette, and then use Amber or Xiangling for your last pyro slot, and then pull for Tartaglia instead of Lyney.
If money doesn't matter - i.e., if you're whaling - pull for Lyney and Tartaglia and Yelan and Zhongli and enjoy 3 of the strongest characters in the game. :P
The only down time for Tartagalia against lyney is the proper rotation and not over extending as the CD of Childe skills is quite punishing, Lyney is more easy to play that is the up for him but if you got good skills Tartagalia would be rewarding.
Though from my exp I much enjoy and feel Lyney is stronger due to the weapons I have and artifact. Never had a good heart of the depth.
Quite right,@@kkaon4149 . Tartaglia is not that easy to use. Lyney on the other hand asks one question: Can you aim? If so, then pull, pull, pull!
lol ur kinda right omg...yelan, lyney, childe, zhongli...stacked banners right here.
unfortunately childe suffers the same problem as lyney, that they only really have 1 strong ceiling team
Wait how do you get bennet for free?
@@omu5560 In 4.0 you got him for free. Otherwise, you can get him from the Starglitter Shop. He's "free" because you can use your Starglitter to buy him.
Outside of his value in spiral, the most important thing is that he's really fun to play as far as bow users go, on an exploration team he feels effective too, the ability to drop a taunt anywhere has amazing strategy benefits.
Thank u for this video cause I feel like a lot of people has been very harsh on him idk why but lyney is clearly a very strong dps that make mono pyro a good team. It’s honestly one of the hardest choice already have yelan but her cons are strong and going for maybe c1 or c2 look very tempting but at the same time I like lyney kit and aesthetic so much
Ended up getting him in one multi at 30 pity so I went on the weapon banner since I have yelan already and I wanted to fill out my weapon index for more options. Now I have Lyney and his Signature!
19:37
I wish we'd get a sidegrade to Benny, like you said, but just. . . remember what happened when we got a sidegrade to Xingqiu, and then dual hydro happened.
. . . I think Hoyo assumes that would happen. Still, I'd absolutely love a Yelan equivalent for Bennett.
everyone will play bennet + bennet #2 to get pyro resonance lmao.
Just taking a moment to say thanks for making your account. It would drive me CRAZY to have 5 star cons and not use them, lol
He is 1 of the good example of what luxury character should be. You definitely don't need him but if you want him, he will do his job very well in his own team.
For me, I skip bc I want Furina and maybe Neuvillette. Also, I like playing the game without Bennett or Xiangling, so I would rarely play him if I got him.
I pulled his weapon banner tho bc I want good 5* bow for my Ganyu and both of them are good for her. Luckily, I got both of them.
Then you can put Aqua on Fischl (or Childe if you have him, but if you're a Bennett-Xiangling denier, I highly doubt it) as Yelan prefers Fav
@@oliviaaargh Right now, I put Aqua on Ganyu bc I just maxed level it and I have to grind material for Lyney's sig first. I plan to put Lyney's sig on Ganyu and Aqua on Yelan bc my Yelan is C1.
@@oliviaaargh BTW, IDK if I'm a full Bennett-Xiangling denier or not bc I don't use them + Xingqiu and Kazuha just to make abyss a bit limited and challenging. But, I still use them in score based combat event tho.
I've been playing Lyney with kaeya and I've been having so much fun with that
@@FairyKit I mean, he is Pyro anyway. So, you can play melt or vape too. It's just not optimal for him.
This was literally the best time for me to get Lyney. I got Amos' Bow on Baizhu's release (yes I did save up 127 fates f2p for Baizhu, don't judge me) I've spent a long time perfecting how to do aim shots because I wanted to know how to play a dps bow character, AND his kit gets rid of artifact rng, AND his weapon banner is insane, so-
He is amazing, I didn't plan to pull him I got lucky to get him in 10 pulls, another 10 got me his weapon. Ever since we are inseparable, he nukes the crap out of the enemies in few seconds
man u n flip are the only 2 people that underrated him
Mtashed as well but that’s a different story lol
I love lyney his lore & design it annoys me so much that he's getting so much hate from weird chinease men who are saying he acts too "gay"..
Western players who have a warped sense of what a good character is, also trash him. They think the only valid type of team is reaction damage. They dismissed Lyney the moment they saw mono pyro (along with him not being a waifu). My underleveled Lyney is already keeping up with vape Hutao damage total and is on par with Ganyu for his charge shots without a Bennett buff, only relying on his mono pyro passive.
China, Japan, and rest of Asia region is cool with Lyney's character design.
It's specifically Korea that has a problem, due to how pervasive conservative anti-feminist (and anti-adjacent "woke" like LGBT) sentiment is, even among the younger gen.
Kind of cringe that you are calling them out in a xenophobic way though, considering western politics is currently suffering from the exact same culture war nonsense.
e.g. UK is heavily infested with anti-trans like JK Rowling, US republican party has been taken over by stupid BS like bathroom bills, "don't say gay" sex education bans, etc.
Regions, callouts, these things don't have the agency required to discriminate
One could directly call OP a xenophobe, I suppose; but, since we can't read people's hearts, I feel like it makes the most sense to leave the judging up to the flying spaghetti monster
@@Candytime9without bennet? I think youre just playing hutao and ganyu wrong at this point
What about Chinhardship men?
Maybe when Natlan comes out Lynney will improve both with regards to team combs and alternatives for artifacts
I agree but tbh his new artifact set is really good
This is my thoughts as well looking at the game direction as their creating mechanics that would not overlap nor power crept the previous mechanics. For sure some unique support would be out there as Fontaine is heavily based with charge attack and artifact that buffs their mechanic of losing hp bit by bit so maybe Furina would take him to a higher level.
I mean yeah sure the nation of pyro makes sense but that wont be for awhile but from what it seems he's not too bad.
Okay hear me out… he’s like a weird bow version of Heizou.
Where Heizou likes building up his Declension stacks, Lyney likes building up his hat stacks. Both use their elemental skill to consume their stacks and deal relative damage based on the stacks built. I was wondering why I was having so much fun with him and realized this was the reason.
What
Nah, he's just a 5 star version of Amber.
Has a taunt, can trigger the taunt and make it deal AoE damage. It's just that for Lyney if you don't trigger it it will deal single target damage.
stay consistent youre gonna grow in no time with how good these reviews are
I accidentally pilled Lyney while trying to get Yelan on guarantee. I watched so many guides on how to build him and what team is best. So far I like your guide the best. It is clear, straight to the point and well spoken. Thanks for creating content for us Genshin players! PS: I get 1 shot killed in the open world with Lyney. I feel like wirhout Zhongli I die too often.
Saxophone: we are all just npcs in xianglings world. Xiangling skin when?
Jello getting close to 10k 😮. Congrats in advance bro, you deserve it ✊
I’m struggling so hard to not pull Lyney… this was kinda helpful to see realistically how it goes. I can’t sign up for another hypercarry 😅
The most surprising thing to me is I know he's supposed to be like a single target charge attacker but the way his Aoe feels so strong and satisfying really got me second guessing if I even wanna charge attack 😂.
Wym he doesn’t have aoe if you don’t use his charged attacks and that’s how you get stacks to max his damage
@@Marz333 Well I went into his worse abyss and cleared the rift hound mobs pretty effortlessly using his burst and skill alone. I only "suffered" for the pyro lector and used ayato to handle that part. But the aoe damage once you have a grouper is pretty good.
Very nice editing, very clean video quality.. really liked the transitions
sacrificial bow is very fun to use on him. Damage can be better with other weapons yeah, but i care about fun, not damage
I am amazed you farmed him up so fast. I can tell he will be good but i am a long ways away from getting him even to usable! He does play well with Lynette since Lynette is fine as discount Kazuha. Love them in mono pyro!
Swaped *Ganyu* out of her Melt team and swaped *Lyney* into it: Got no regrets! It's _Waaay_ easier and comfier to play.
I did the same and it's actually been doing more dmg despite his under leveled talents. What funny is their stats aren't too different
Lyney does significantly more dmg in ST imo. And he can use Xiangling's Gouba to get res shred if there is no vv/zhongli. Ganyu's only advantage is her frostflake aoe, and her burst can be used with kazuha for mobbing.
Klees value vs lyney and basically anyone else is very hard to gauge for the same reason it has always been. Klee is mechanically intensive, and unless you learn to play her very optimally, she is extremely clunky. Her damage is vastly improved the more you optimize your gameplay as well. Klee can compete with or even surpass Lyney, but you cant just be a good player. You have to invest time and effort into learning Klee, which to many feels incredibly unrewarding and difficult. She will always be underrated in the meta because of this. But you could argue that if a character is impractically difficult for most players, that makes them worse. Its hard to say with her
I am an aspiring Klee main and I wonder if there's more to mechanical skill with Klee than jump canceling her charge shots/forward cancels for machine gun normals and just being real good at dodging, since you don't really have a shielder for her most optimal team?
Btw absolutlely loving Lyney and I think his kit is interesting but got Qiqi instead so I guess I'll keep waiting for the archon (got his bow though on my way to aqua, I guess Tighnari will make good enough use of it lmao)
I love Klee simply because her CA can knock over a lot of enemies
@@Laurboy97 The eternal juggling of enemies yes 💅
For me personally, needing to learn to play a character 'mechanically' is much more rewarding than basically being able to play a character perfectly from the start (*cough*Ayato and Yoimiya*cough*).
@@Szczurzyslawa Baseline is just N1CJ; that and dodging are pretty much enough to play Klee well. Then you can learn N2CJ (or rather (N1W)x2-CJ if I were to describe it more accurately - W is for walk cancel; basically using N1 twice into charged attack and jump cancel) which is mainly for juggling. N1W spam (machine gun) is not really used often, I just use it sometimes for fun.
I've been hearing he's around a similar power level of Hu Tao, but doesn't use Xingqiu. Being separated from Xingqiu may or may not be a good thing depending on what you're fighting. But I'm skipping Lyney anyway.
He doesn't want Xingqiu but Bennett instead. While you can use Yelan in Xingqiu's place, there's no one can replace Bennett for him in term of big atk buff.
@@cardnacn6704 u cant use a c0 yelan in a hutao team tho, her hydro app just isnt enough. with dendro xinqiu has become wanted in almost any team whille bennett hasnt, which means ur xinqiu is freed for the second side of the abyss.
I use Hutao (with c1 and Homa) a lot and Lyney being still underleveled (not ascended past 80, with 6/6/6 (using Lavawalker and Aqua bow) talents already outdoes her with only one hydro on her team. Lyney gets so much damage bonus from being on mono pyro that it completely makes up for lack of reactions. Though when I use Hutao with double hydro her team does a little better simply because she has Yelan and Xingqiu on her side.
Been looking forward to your review.
I rerolled this morning, and at AR 10 I rolled on his Banner and got him on my second single pull. My third pull was Lynette so I should have her at C1. Now I can either pull for his weapon or just sit on primos for a while. Win
you're an absolute legend for farming the new set so soon
I'm so happy that I managed to win the 50/50 for him. I wasn't going to have enough to guarantee him since last banner was the one I saved up for. But not only did I manage to get him without having to wait for his rerun, but I also got some decent artifacts for his set. I spent almost a month prepping artifacts for Wanderer, and now I have a Lyney with better stats than Wanderer. Now I just have to level his talents up. lol Also getting his rotation down well. The charge attacks in the suggested rotation here will probably work better in Bennett's window than the other rotation I saw and was trying to do.
I'm currently running him with Layla for his 4th slot. I skipped Kazuha, so I don't have him. I'm working on leveling Lynette. Even though my Faruzan artifacts are good, my Sucrose ones still aren't. I really like her, but her EM artifacts don't like me. Lynette can at least borrow Faruzan's.
For his weapon, I'm using Viridescent Hunt. He only has one roll of crit rate on all of his artifacts, so his crit rate ends up around 56% with Viridescent and before it goes up with his artifacts. Not counting only a few artifacts, crit rate just hates me.
I've never pulled on weapon banner, but it would be tempting if I get enough for a five star before the banner ends. I'm at 30 wishes atm. I only have two five star weapons, both catalyst. It's just I'd probably have to hope for more crit rate on artifacts while going for Fischl's for the 1:2, and I was planning on saving up for Venti next.
i got so lucky with lyney, i lost the 50/50 from like no pity to just barely get him with all but ten od my wishes, put the last 10 on the weapon banner with no pity and got really lucky getting it. i also only been playing like 3 months and held off to do fishcls artifacts til the new ones so i just happened to be blowing a lot of resin on that his artifact set anyways. hes pretty cracked on my account now lol
It really depends. Look at your Asimon abyss fight, you are losing that 3 stars because you stick to the 'herd say' mono pyro team. Switching up team members depending on the enemy is the key to victory.
Already vaporized my primogems for yelan now trying to desperately cobble together enough for zhongli. Im sorry lyney someone must be sacrificed
Same here just got wanderer on the last day, now I'm trying for Gravel Gramps (I would like all the Archons and Harbingers).
Maybe Neuvilette or Wriothesley on rerun
"i'm a scrub ad i like to have more er than i need"
SO TRUE KING!!
Wow jello really underated him 😅
I think rosaria is really good in lyney teams. My circumstances might be far different considering c6 bennet. Lyney Bennett Rosaria (Zhongli dont like it because geo can lessen the aura element and snatch a reaction) Lyney Bennett Rosaria, (Sucrose or Mona both with thrilling tales.) Lyney has such a flexible rotation that he can choose to front load or backload his damage profile. In the case of forward melt front load it. A detail that most do not consider is that the hat stays on field if switching. Which given a quick application of cryo or erasing the initial pyro from the charged attack hitting an opponent enables forward melt. I havent considered him in a quick swap composition because him sharing the burden of contributing to dps requires a certain type of sub dps (xiangling, albedo,) that are not reliant on normal attack frequency such as xingqiu,yelan, beidou.
I use Zhongli with Archaic Petra instead of Kazuha in some situations and it works well enough to clear content. I would not use Zhongli without Archaic.
Im loving running him with baizhu bennet and xianling with him the seemless shields double his burn dot and works perfectly with his charge drain and plus thrilling tales go brr with noblese
It almost feels like they are making sure that no pyro dps they make will be too over the top just to leave room for pyro archon becoming and staying meta
He’s been super fun to use so far! Also how did you get that artifact set so easy….
Hoyo loves me I guess 😭
@@JelloImpact …
I like Lyney and tbh now I regret not pulling for him
10K subs soon
I really like your content, thanks for the great video. I really like your approach. I am a newer player, and at this point of the game I was working on my second team for the abyss.
I was going to pull yelan.
But then I saw and tried Lyney and now my second team is mono pyro. Is it practical? No. Do I love this character? Yes, he is my favourite now. I might not be able to clear every abyss, unless I get more characters, but I’ll be having so much more fun while doing it.
I'm still building lyney, but I use him, I use a 3 star bow because it has crit damage, I'm building a crit lyney, and I say all weapons are good as far as you have what you're looking for. My unbuilt lyney did around 17k damage
Yeah, my lyney has really crappy artifacts, but still does pretty good damage
He's just pyro Amber.
C2 lyney with signature weapon then he doesn't need a team
no one commenting her gameplay at lyney b-roll footage?
I really need to know. I've been using Thoma because I want a shield and a pyro user. Is it a good idea to switch Thoma for yanfei C4 with TTDS? It's like a buffer and a shield and it's pyro. Is it worth it tho? (I don't have zhongli :(. )
I’d say yanfei would be better ya. Because you don’t normal attack so Thomas shield will be paper
I’m really pleased to see though that he doesn’t go after Yoimiya’s niche. Was worried after the Noelle/Itto stuff (though ofc Lyney is a much more long awaited 5star)
I’m just glad I have a good pyro unit other than xiangling and bennett now
Do a max crit damage build since he gets lots of everything else for free
Hey could you make, (or point me to,) a video that discusses most common techs and tips for playing the game mechanically? I play on ps4, and ive heard about charge or sprint canceling, among many other "techs" but i have no idea how that woukd translate to gamepad.
Thanks in advance for any info!
I like bow characters, but I don’t think I’ll pull for him. His value feels REALLY low. Obviously he’s the “mono pyro” character so it would make you think he has similar value to Shenhe or Gouro, but I think the difference is that Gouro gave power to an underwhelming archetype while Shenhe is still meta/near meta outside mono cryo (like freeze, melt, and physical). Lyney isn’t particularly flexible and he’s being introduced to the element that needed a mono character less than all the other elements. The core of Xiangling, Bennett, Kazuha is so strong that mono pyro was already plenty strong for abyss 12. I play Diluc, Kazuha, Xiangling, Bennett in abyss 12 and it’s honestly the most satisfying and consistent rotation I’ve played (that or Raiden aggravate). To me, he seems more like a pull of you like him character, and unfortunately, there are a lot of characters I like coming up.
Why does everyone forget to talk about Yoimiya vs Lyney? 😂
I guess dendro made the devs realized something 😂 the new characters need to be stronger.
Hiii i got aqua today (i have yelan but i wanna use it for lyney) but i also lost my weapon banner thing so its 2/2, im f2p do you think should i just continue tryna get the first great magic for him or should i just accept aqua ?? there is no one i wanna pull coming soon
Best of luck for us who are aiming for the 5 star bow with low pity 😂😂😂
Why yall hating on lyney? If you hate lyney cuz he looks gay then.

He's better than hutao, also can do Aoe including team
@@Marz333 but Lyney is only good in monopyro
Anyone saying he’s worse than Klee is in denial
Truth. I have also seen people call him far weaker then Hutao and Yoimiya. I am not saying he is stronger/better but he is on par with them at the least. People just don't like the idea of mono element teams, and think they could never beat reaction teams, and so far this has been true. Mono geo is good (I use it a lot and it clear content) but not meta or even the most efficient), but if Itto had the mono elemental passives Lyney does, he would be so much more of a beast. Also a lot of players like to say a character is weak simply because they are not a waifu.
I agree with the title. Thank you Jello Impact.
Also, what flexibility does Childe have?
Childe haters full off skill issue fr fr
He can fit in other teams not just the best team in the game (international)
Eyy Jello I've been seeing a lot of videos and arguments comparing lyney to hutao... This and that etc... As for my own opinion yes Lyney is a very solid pyro dps with the right team.. Same goes for hutao.. But what they don't realize is they are both played differently... Some argue that lyney is handicapped because no access to vape but still dishes out big damage... Maybe that's because his kit entirely revolves around making a mono pyro team for him to maximize his passive... As for HuTao she needs a vape team to maximize her own damage... I don't see the why they always have to compare who's better... Its like comparing Eula to Ayaka... both have different kits but they're both cryo 😂
Yeah maybe for Hu Tao rerun I’ll do a proper comparison video for all pyro dps. I feel they fall in the same tier and from the math I think lyney is a little worse. But for me to actually draw a conclusion I’d have to do a LOT more testing
And I agree they feel so different to build and play comparing to Hu Tao was an afterthought to me
So many of the people calling Lyney weak/bad are the ones who are so focused on reactions being the only way to play. They also won't get Lyney so they will not see his damage for themselves they only listen to people like themselves. Lyney's mono pyro bonuses he gets are surprisingly enough to make up for lack of reactions, as a mono geo Itto team user, I can see just how amazing Lyney's kit is, mono geo is still viable even though it is not meta but if Itto had the kind of passives that Lyney does, he would be even more of a beast, Gorou basically has the support version of Lyney's passives. I can understand comparing characters because not everyone is willing to spend for characters if they are not needed so knowing how they compare is a valid concern. But unfortunately many people decided Lyney was bad before his release when they saw mono pyro (or they are a waifu simp) but those don't make them calling him weak valid, it just means they are allowed to not like his playstyle or him as a character.
he seems fun but i don’t have kazuha yet and don’t wanna run a copium comp.
Thanks for this great analysis. Since healing is important for Lyney to get more stack, would Jean be a good option as the 4th character in the mono pyro team?
as a healer who can use VV set, she will do fine, though she won't provide any additional bonuses or grouping like other anemo units can she can still work. Though Bennett leads to higher damage output, but Jean and Bennett have good synergy together if you are familiar with sunfire comps so that could be fun to try with Lyney.
Good information, except for the fact that you said, there’s no reason to get him to level 90. If you’re going to put in all of the in game resources through his artifacts and talents, it is incredibly worth it to take him to level 90.
According to your gameplay, Lyney definitely needs shield.
No way he just got good set in day 1 💀
Ikr it was nuts
When Nilou came out, everyone was screaming bloody murder because she was locked to hydro and dendro teammates. And now we have Lyney who is essentially a one team character, and everyone is like "OK, seems reasonable".
Tbh, the circumstances of their releases are pretty different. Lyney already had his best team(s) right out of the box and hence why he just feels as "another option", Nilou only had 3 dendro characters for her to utilize as THE Bloom specialist and people were waiting for Nahida's release to improve her teams.
With all the dendro options we have now, her passive feels a lot less restrictive than it used to upon release imo.
But Nilou is literally all or nothing, you either have only Dendro or Hydro in your team or she misses out on her best passive. Lyney still gains 60% bonus damage on his passive if he's the only pyro on his team, as long as the enemy has a pyro aura. I personally don't like either design choices but Lyney's is definitely more favourable in my opinion.
Unlike Nilou, Lyney can play well in different teams, having huge damage here and there, and Nilou is practically useless in other teams, except for blooming
Nilou COMPLETELY loses her passive if you put any character different than the Bloom crew. Lyney STILL has his passives, he just GAINS damage when you cater your teams to them.
Stop pretending like that incredibly forced way to make Bloom good is ANYTHING like Lyney.
@iochocojokk Yeah, he still has his passive, only it barely procs.
Jello said femboys are gross but more power to you.
Question or opinion
I only have yelan c0 she only I pull today 4.0 banner and still good pull Right? If I don't have another character on the banner of 4.0 especially lyny?
Yep ! Check out my Yelan guide~~~
I noticed you're running double Fav in the Lyney team. Does lyney not generate enough energy for the team or is this a personal comfort choice? I dont like using FavonIus weapons
Without the double fav he probably can’t burst every rotation without a bunch more ER. You don’t NEED to burst every rotation but I like to it’s fun
i must admit i am INCREDIBELY annoyed at the fact that we really dont have a character who even compares to kazuha.
i love him very much but u can really only use him on one team at a time in abyss yk...
Is xinyan a good shielded with lyney? I’ve been thinking about building her for his team so that he has a full passive stack without taking out a pyro what do u/y’all think
Got his signature weapon on 30 pity so i used my guaranteed to get Lyney and he was there at 35 pity on character banner😂
Hi, just wanna let you know that Childe international will be superior in every situation compared to Lyney. What most non Childe mains don't know is that international is still one of the best single target teams, only losing out to Alhaitham HB at C0 investments. The secret tech that most people don't know is that you can "drive" your pyronado, allowing it to hit up to 20 times (hard to achieve, but 18 is very easy to achieve) compared to the usual 12 times if you just stand still and do N2C. Each pyronado should hit for 50k on average with C4 xiangling and C6 instructor bennet with C0 kazuha full EM on fav, making it 900k from pyronado alone (for reference, my C0 hutao funerational team deals around 1.3-1.4 million dmg per rotation with N1CJx9, aka max potential combo for C0 hutao). Then there is also dmg from kazuha's burst, childe's burst, childe's N2C, Childe's riptide dmg, guoba's vape (it's not a meme, can contribute 100k dmg if crown and C6). This tech isn't just blindly running counterclockwise, it's a bit more complicated than that. If anybody wanna know how it works then you guys can look up Nashi's channel, he's a very good Childe speed runner. So from a pure meta perspective, there is no reason to put Lyney in your team instead of Childe because you are sacrificing Xiangling's dmg by not vaping.
If you make it this far, thanks for reading. Since I have your attention for so long, can you please turn up the volume a bit lol. It's a bit low I think.
i’m sick of everybody saying klee is SO difficult to learn. she isn’t. but if you don’t want to learn you’re not gonna have fun doing so, so you’ll call her clunky and use someone else. klee isn’t HARD she’s just poorly designed and you can cope with utilizing a few tricks if you want. SIMPLE.
I didn’t say she was SO difficult. I’ve done my best to learn her and I felt lyney outperformed her. But I know she has some more complex tricks that would take me longer to learn that I don’t want to, I just learned the basics. so I mentioned that maybe if you play better she could match lyney :)
In your opinion, Hu Tao+Sig or Lyney and Lyney? I've been saving for Hu Tao because i just really love her. Already got all the mats for her ascension and talents. But now I'm not sure. I was originally gonna go for C0R1 Hu Tap but now I really want Lyney and I just got the Skyward hard from the previous weap banner. I only have R5 Dragon's Bane for Hu Tao but I'm not sure if that's strong enough. I just started playing this game thid April and only got to 36 star Abyss just today. I need some answers.
For reference I have completed Hu Tao team with Yelan, Xingqiu and Layla. I also have complete team for Lyney i even used Yelan National on the first time to 36 star it.
Hu Tao + Sig but not Lyney or Hu Tao and Lyney but no Homa
Hu Tao + homa is the easy choice imo
@@JelloImpact thanks. I've been thinking about this since yesterday after experiencing Lyney because his Gameplay is so much fun but doesn't deal as much damage as Hu Tao's main team.
I didn’t even build or lvl him up qualified,he already can deal 7k damage 💀👍🏻
I've been running a 100% f2p no wishing challenge account and I'm confused on which out of all free weapons (craftable/chests/dialogue/fishing/quest rewards) are actually the most worth to get and invest in. Do you have any video like this or something similar?
Sad, no uno reverse card in the thumbnail xd
I have nothing against Lyney as a character but gameplay wise tho...
He is not weak by any means but i personally think his setup and rotation takes way too long, i could live with that but..
The biggest reason why i won't be getting him is that he pretty much requires Bennett and to some extent XL....and i won't be using either of those, ever
I hate Bennett and XL playstyle is so boring and again, without Bennett, she kinda sucks
So yeah, because he kinda needs those 2 to function, it killed him for me
Oh...and Kazuha, no thx
At least he can be substituted by Sucrose, Faruzan or Lynette
Tbh, i want Furina, Clorinde and Arlecchino way more, i am talking more in a "pulling for some Lynette cons and wouldn't mind getting him" kinda way
Lyney is probably going to have the same fate as Klee. An underrated unit that people hate on because they dont actually know anything about the character. I still personally prefer Klee here because I believe she is more versatile for high skill players, but theyre both very cool and its sad that mono pyro keeps getting the short end of the stick in terms of community opinion.
Don't lump him in with Klee. Klee is clunky as hell. Her damage isn't very good. Lyney is neither.
@@WackyIraqi777 Klee is actually very good in monopyro. Her damage is on par with Xiangling in the team. Monopyro is Klee's OG best team and there is a great synergy between all characters. But, I fell like there is straight up powercreep happening here with Klee monopyro and not enough people is talking about it. We need more testing to be sure who is better but I'm assuming a character specifically designed to work in monopyro teams will end up better in the end.
Common Jello Impact W
@JelloImpact
You can run him with vape team lol
Ihave tried it its perfect
Main dps Lyney
Sub dps dmg support xiangling
Extra healer and vape reaction
Kokomi
And lastly zhongli for Petrify and anti interruption.
Iam not running benny becuz ihate his healing mechanic he can't max heal your Hp
What about Petra Zhongli? You can consistently get Pyro Crystallize
That is what I use when I use Zhongli with him. Normally my Zhongli uses tenacity but Lyney already gets so much attack from Bennett and Pyro resonance that he does not need the tenacity increase. It is a lower damage ceiling then Kazuha with VV but it is comfier and good enough to clear content because Lyney is so strong.
Ugh I like him a lot but I just got Yoimiya (early pity accident so Im happy) and don't use her... also have c5 Diluc already. If he wasnt so "monopyro only"... i hope some sort of benny team is possible.
He seems cool. but i think i will save my Gems for another 5 star.
Explain.
Im loving Lynette more then lyney. But he’s good. I didn’t even intend to get him. I pulled for him by accident thinking I was pulling banner 2. Heartbroken but accepted.
OOF
I have Xiangling C5 lvl 40 and I don't plan on raising her 💀 Idc about meta damage and Abyss so....
you can also be funny and switch kazuha with petra zhongli 🤣
Actually Petra is quite good here
Being good with Benny/XL/Kazuha is not a value. Character have to be very very bad or scale differently to not be good with Benny/XL/Kazuha. This is why people don't hype Lyney. Cuz he adds nothing new.
Lyney is one of the best choices to put on that team with Bennett/XL and Kazuha so if you want better clear teams he will get you there a lot faster then quite a few other units. Also, people don't hype him because they are focused on his lack of reactions, when his mono pyro bonuses are ridiculous. I would say he doesn't really add anything new because we had mono pyro Klee before but people not hyping him runs far deeper then that. Many people just don't want to believe that a newer pyro dps can actually keep up with Hutao who they feel is a golden standard for dps. (This is coming from a Hutao main who also wished for Lyney, and have yoimiya. I love my pyro users.)
@@Candytime9 Childe is still better in that spot, and Raiden too if you need to free up Kazuha
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz I said "one of the best" not "the best". Also to add on, not many people like Childe or his playstyle, same could bes aid for Lyney but people might prefer one over the other. I have used Childe International in almost every abyss cycle since shortly after Kazuha's release so having Lyney is a nice change. I have never used Raiden National mostly because I prefer Childe.
@@Candytime9 being one of the best really doesn't sound a lot when there's only little contender for the team, only beating klee , a standard character, and 2 4 stars
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz I don't know what you are talking about. Almost any character can be put on that base team of Benny/Xiangling and Kazuha because it is such a strong base. Even characters that don't synergize with them can be put in and they will get carried by that base. So it actually does say a lot when a character can be put in that team and not be carried by them only.
Will you be adding chapter breaks soon to your videos?
Ya
Added
I got his signature weapon. How good is it for childe considering he is gonna be the only hydro in the team?
It’s still quite good for him
@@JelloImpact thanks for the answer. I think I'm gonna pull for childe since his team is better against more stuff
So Lyney is only as strong as Klee....
I can pity a 5* for this patch and I already have Yelan
Lynet kinda looks good for me (design and aesthetic)
Wanna know if Lyney's for me
If you likes him, yes, he's for you. Don't pull just for damage number.
@@Boorosan yep that's why I'm skipping his character design(looks) and cool factor is not there for me. If you like his design, looks and gameplay that's the most important thing and to keep in mind upcoming banners childe and zhongli are up next if you want them more you may have to pass on him depending on how much you have saved, He would really shine and fit will into a mono pyro team due to his passive.
-The DMG Lyney deals to opponents affected by Pyro will receive the following buffs:
Increases the DMG dealt by 60%.
Each Pyro party member other than Lyney will cause the DMG dealt to increase by an additional 20%.
Lyney can deal up to 100% increased DMG to opponents affected by Pyro in this way.
Would recommend bennett, xiangling, Lyney and an anemo support with the Viridescent Venerer set that gives elemental resistance shred when swirling. Which if you somehow managed to not pull bennett on the banner or do not have him there his a leak that he will be free in an upcoming event.
