1. Wait, guys, I guess some of you may be misled by the WRONG translation of his A4 talent. Maybe you have noticed something weird in the English version. It says his BASE ATK increases, but finally a DMG INCREASE against opponents affected by Pyro. These two descriptions are entirely different, bcs it’s just a translation error.
   In the Chinese version, the buff is described as:
   His DMG to opponents affected by Pyro increases by 60% as a base;
   Each Pyro party member other than Lyney will cause this effect to receive a further 20% bonus;
   He can gain at most 100% increased DMG to opponents affected by Pyro in this way.
   So there’s NO BASE ATK BUFF. Instead, 100% increased DMG is not as amazing as that, and makes kazuha’s buff not so powerful. I mean kazuha is still his best choice, but the improvement by kazuha is not so impressive compared with other main dps.

   • Definitely, Lyney will be highly spoken of by those big number lovers. But for me, I just can’t stand the playstyle of the CA bow wielders, lol.

   • Nonetheless Lynette is still a solid option for him for extreme F2Ps if you’re suck enough to not get a single Sucrose or Kazuha (which is like 1% of the players atm)

     It’s a big L for him and his future mains 😥. Justice for him is needed in the land of justice

     Don’t pull for him anyway, but start liking him now

     • Lynette gets a small priotity bump when Sucrose is on another team, too.

2. Many people think that Lynette is bad with him but in my opinion, she’s actually a solid f2p option. It’s just that she is overshadowed by C6 Sucrose and heavily by Kazuha

   Why? Her a4 exists (the one that buff atk if I remember correctly). Although she can only buff 12% atk (Lyney’s team already occupies 3 slot for pyro), it’s still … a buff and definitely better than Anemo traveler who will push enemies away on burst. And Lyney’s a4 buffs his BASE atk too, which makes her buff more valuable. Therefore, she somewhat works with Lyney if you don’t have c6 Sucrose and Kazuha (which is only like 1% of the playerbase atm)

   Keep in mind that Sucrose requires C6 to beat Lynette in terms of his supports. Or else, I’d rate c0-5 Sucrose = C0 Lynette (bcz of her grouping), C1-6 Lynette > C0-5 Sucrose (bcz Lynette now can group)

   • This! Putting Sucrose as a support in non-reaction teams like Mono-teams and Freeze always felt weird since without her C6 and TTDS, she was just a pure VV bot. I’d prefer just using her on reaction teams so that EM isn’t wasted. With that new craftable for Sayu (the one with the TTDS-esque buff) and Lynette, the 4* anemo support roster is getting a bit more wiggle room with alternative buffs and unit variety.

     Sometimes I think people forget that Lynette is in semi-uncharted territory kit-wise, at least as far as Anemo units go, and honestly she isn’t doing too bad in the versatility department. As a 4* Crit-based off-field anemo sub-dps with slight CC, elemental application, and ATK% buffs, the closest comparison you could make within her own rarity is… maybe Faruzan? But the difference between them is pretty big (and they’re more likely to be used together in triple anemo teams anyways). Heizou is mostly on-field and is more of a driver or quickswap at best, Sayu is a healer so she’s immediately too different to compare role-wise, and no one talks about Anemo MC (for good reason).

     She won’t be beating out Kazuha as a support for elemental DPS units for sure (she’s just a 4*, cmon now), but she looks like she can hold her own pretty well for a freebie.

     • Slight correction, the TTDS claymore is a buff to the wielder, so it’s more of a overall buff to healers who pair with Claymore DPSes than a Sayu specific one. Still an interesting weapon though, and Sayu still has the Sumeru craftable for extra buffing in Dendro teams at least.

   • You all are forgetting she’s a free unit so she has the same power level as the traveller (Xiangling doesn’t count cuz she’s from China in the Chinese game)

3. What’s the point of rolling for his boring CA playstyle when you can just run Amber with Bennett and Xiangling instead?

   • Because he and Lynette are the reason I started playing Genshin. I do not love everything about their kits or their elements, but I will make a team with them even if it’s not the absolute best. They are worth all the pulls of the world.

4. I don’t care if it’s a DPS loss, but I refuse to run Xiangling with Lyney. He’s a bow character, not a sword character. Bennett can stay, but I’m going to put Tankfei as the third Pyro character.

   • I think this is one of the aspects that “nerf” him, by not being able to comfortably use Xiangling like Klee mono pyro (although Klee is still not that much more comfortable cmp to him)

   • You don’t need a third pyro character the passive increase the damage up to 100% the passive gives you
     60%
     one pyro character gives you 20% (without lyney)
     so you only need two pyro characters you can use kazuha if you have it
     I’m gonna use him with kazuha Bennet and xiangling

     • kazuha bennet xl is the highest dps team option i see, but it will not be the most comfortable

       lyney hp and def stats are in lower end among all characters, his kit reduce his hp even more, this makes lyney the squishiest on-field dps
       unless you are sweaty gamer which most genshin player aren’t.. you will get one shot a lot, even with bennet cause he dont heal you to full health

       a squshy dps who dive into mobs without a shield doesn’t sound good, people who tried ganyu melt knows how clunky it is to play with xianling, shes not intended to be played that way, surely this team makes ganyu dmg go big, but look it today, its not a popular choice anymore

       thats why people are trying to replace one of the core with a defensive option

   • then you forget why mono pyro team can compete with other meta teams to begin with, it exploit kazuha & bennet buffing multiple units at the same time and harnessing xiangling screenshot mechanic, the core are irreplaceable, if you replace any of them with anyhting else, you losing soo much

     thats the current dillema with lyney team crafting
     on one hand, you have on-field ranged dps with the squishiest hp and def stats among all characters that incentivize mono pyro
     on the other hand, the best mono pyro comp available don’t go well with ranged dps

     you have to sacrifice you team dmg ceiling for survivability and comfort
     we need another pyro unit that can replace one of them wihtout losing the synergy…

5. Haha, lots of units/teams are going to be powercrept by just 1 magician femboi. It’s going to be great for us Lyney mains for us to power though the Abyss no problem while people who still play Raiden Midgun, Scaramid and Chimidle will be coping and seething in the comments regretting for not pulling for the ultimate Fontaine powercreep.

   • he has a very strong passive but in return he can’t do vape and melt at the same time what is a very big let down. so you can only go for a mono pyro team what currently is very limited especially support wise. you could go for bennett but since diminishing return is a thing the results of bennetts burst for lyney aren’t the same compared to other chars. you could go for only one additional pyro unit for 80% base atk but the supporter from another element has to compensate the 20% base atk loss first. so his passive either wastes the potential of other elements or is kinda wasted if you use other elements.
     last but not least fontains real “powercreep” might be focalors since she is leaked to be a really strong supporter and lyney might not even synergise that good with her because she nullifies his passive. so stop your copium. better save for arlecchino untill we know her kit if you want a pyro unit and then try your copium again.

   • Have you ever had a single genuine thought that doesn’t involve provoking people on the internet because you don’t have that much going on in your daily activities? I think everyone would be much happier and have more healthy, meaningful things going on in their lives if they just stop treating everything like a competition or try to bait rancid interactions through disingenuous statements they themselves don’t even believe. Does anything genuine ever come out of your mouth? I’m genuinely curious.

     I’m personally at that point in the game where I don’t need to catch up with the latest meta since all my main teams can comfortably clear the Abyss as a F2P. If you absolutely need the latest powercreep units and weapons every newupdate rather than picking something that suits your playstyle, wouldn’t that just mean you’re over relying on a crutch and that you’re not really that good at the game? I don’t even have anything against Lyney, I’m just wondering what could’ve caused such a rancid behavior to be common on this site since every time I visit this place there’s always some form of bait comment.

   • Not until we get more Pyro units to properly support him. As much as I adore him, being reliant on Pyro of all elements is a shot to the kneecaps. Hoyo been twiddling their thumbs with Pyro supports since 1.0, and Dehya’s day in the sun hasn’t arrived yet, at least not fully. I can’t even mention post-1.0 off field DPS releases, since Xiangling is literally the only one, and she likes melee units more than ranged ones.

10. Lots of angry Scaramid, Midhaitham, Midno and Childmid mains malding over the debut of new T0 male DPS Lyney. Mihoyo will just bring bunch of Cryo shield enemies in Fontaine’s abyss to screw over hyperbloom and international so do yourself a favor and get yourselves a C0 Lyney.

    • International stopped by Cryo shields? What international out there doesn’t have Xiangling? You’re just stringing up words that doesn’t make sense at this point. Which I guess is the common sport of many honeyhunter anons.

      Primo bait to dry players savings with the initial hype
      the strong units will be 4-2 onwards

        you should know how genshin meta community are, if you’re not broken, you are mid, they just mean balanced and they hated that

        Tier 0 means like an SSS tier, broken with no challenge
