| Character Details | The people of Fontaine love their tales of mystery. The intricate case setups and unexpected twists and turns are captivating for all. Magic recreates this experience under the converging spotlights. For the price of a ticket and some of your free time, you can embark on a wondrous journey amidst thunderous applause and astounded cries. If you were to ask around as to which of Fontaine's "guides" is best at setting up such fantastical tours, most fans will tell you that it is Lyney. Suave, romantic, and talented, he performs miracle after miracle with a casual air. In this industry, one needs only a stable of staple tricks to ensure a renowned reputation and comfortable life. However, Lyney's shows always feature some new trick. Some say that he was born into poverty, and the resultant burning hunger for fame and fortune drives his boundless desire to create. In truth, he simply pursues novelty in his capacity as a performer — indeed, he feels that if he cannot put his whole heart into the show, his deep desire to perform cannot be fully satiated. This is why, despite the applause rising to a fever pitch and beyond, he will rarely satisfy the crowd's calls for a reprise of his most well-known tricks. Some devoted fans consider this to be a bit of a shame... ...And for them, such regret will only continue to increase each time they purchase a ticket and go in to watch his show. |
| Character Story 1 | While Lyney first began his journey in magic to fill his stomach, he has continued to perfect his art even after becoming a person of some renown in Fontaine. Magic, after all, has been his benefactor. Not only has it allowed him and his sister to survive, but it has also allowed them to gain the "acknowledgment" that most children, growing up in a loving home, would have received from their parents. Even from an early age, performance was something closely tied to Lyney's life. Each time he would go on stage, Lyney would have the audience whooping and clapping. And yet, he did not lose himself in their adulation — if anything, it often troubled him. If audiences were simply drawn to the spectacle of magic, then who was to say that they wouldn't abandon Lyney's stage as soon as they caught wind of a more enthralling show in town? In other words, just as an audience would be attracted by petals and cards, they would also be pulled away by grander fireworks and crackling gun salutes. What else did magicians have up their sleeves to capture the hearts of their audience, beyond enticing them with ever more grandiose impressions of shock and awe? In all of Lyney's performances afterward, audiences would begin to notice a change — Lyney would add many segments between performances in which he would interact with them. Indeed, this magician seemed without any airs, sharing various fascinating anecdotes about his life, not even minding if the audience should try to guess at the secret behind his tricks. Of course, the sharper wits amongst them would notice that Lyney's tales were not truth, but instead a way to build up the atmosphere, a bedding laid for a greater magic trick to land upon. Yet no one would quibble about these white lies. After all, truth and falsehoods were already inextricable in many parts of the performance — why, even the magician himself could be said to have become a part of the magic. Thus does Lyney sometimes appear near and dear, and other times just out of the reach of his audience, balancing human affinity and magical mystery perfectly in the palm of his hand, his smile leaving the audiences' imaginations free to run wild. No matter how rich or poor, sad or glad the audience member, imagination is the great equalizer, carrying the charm of magic to all. Thus did the mystery and elegance of this magician spread far and wide, with people even opining that his skill at creating an atmosphere is itself as exquisite as magic. "Is that so? Well, I'm just trying to invite everyone to take a brief break from reality, that's all." * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2 |
| Character Story 2 | Lyney's new home was the Hotel Bouffes d'ete, located in a corner of the Court of Fontaine. The place was home to many orphans who shared similar experiences with him and his sister. The people here helped each other like a family would, greeting the fallout and consequences of those tragic years together. But the siblings, even with a recommendation from the manager of the Hotel, did not find it all that easy to fit in, nor was it easy for the children there to immediately accept these new "outsiders." And in this environment, oppressive in its gloom, the water pumping equipment broke while Lynette was using it, right before everyone's eyes, deepening the distrust to the extreme. Lyney could only step up and take responsibility, agreeing to fix the equipment so as not to affect everyone's daily lives. In truth, he did not know all that much about repair work, but given Lynette's propensity for damaging various small devices, he had long gotten used to following his intuition to do some fixes here and there. Unfortunately, he underestimated the complexity of the pumping equipment and difficulty of fixing it. While he succeeded in restoring it to normal operations, he remained at a complete loss as to whether he had solved the root problem or not, he could not tell. But just as he was at his wit's end, a seemingly reticent young fellow stepped forth, examined, and restored the facilities, even expressing his apologies. As it turned out, he was the one in charge of maintenance at the Hotel, and as he saw it, Lynette had been the unfortunate victim of his failure to detect and replace the aging components in the system in a timely manner. Lyney, for his part, was far more impressed by the young fellow's skills than any talk of responsibility. He wanted to learn from the youth — if nothing else, this would make helping Lynette all the easier. The youth was, for his part, no good at refusing, and thus did Lyney become his assistant in the Hotel's small workroom — and over time, he and this Freminet would become friends. Lyney would prove unselfish in spending time on other Hotel residents, whether it be Freminet or others, but he would keep them company in comforting silence rather than ask them about their experiences. In this he was guided by Lynette's succinct life advice: "No one needs self-satisfied concern." In time, the residents became more willing to share some of their pasts with him, and Lyney would thus become better able to help them with their issues. Freminet was somewhat perplexed by this, believing that Lyney, who was slowly becoming the core around which the Hotel spun, did not need to go this far. Lyney joked that he had helped Freminet when they first met because he knew that his sister would cause further machine-related troubles down the line, and he was uncomfortable with that. But at this point, there was no fooling Freminet with such words. Under his attentive gaze, Lyney could only tell him the truth. "Because Lynette's my one and only family, I've learned from her how one should treat all members of their family." * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3 |
| Character Story 3 | On the Hotel Bouffes d'ete's Founding Day, all the children were abustle, draping festive colors all over the place. To the residents, outside festivals and events were cold and emotionless things, foreign elements in their lives, and only this dwelling could bring them true warmth. Everyone worked in concert to execute Lyney's plan. Lynette had purchased large amounts of festive ornaments, and together with the other children, she strung up colored streamers and hung handwritten festive greetings. Freminet was ensuring that the magical props would operate properly — Lyney had faith in his craftsmanship, so much so that Freminet was completely entrusted with all the magic props this time. Lyney himself was the busiest of all — not only did he have to ascertain everyone's progress, but he was also laying the final groundwork for a grand, unique magic trick in secret. And thus was the banquet successfully held with everyone's support. The children danced to the joyous music playing from the grand hall's phonograph and enjoyed delicious food — this was the birthday of no one in particular, but this was the day they all felt they had gained new lives. The finale, of course, was Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet's Founding Day magic show. The magic box was at the center of the room, and all waited with bated breath. To preserve the secret behind the magic trick, even Lynette and Freminet knew not what was within. But as the room darkened and all eyes turned to Lyney, standing as he was in front of the box, even the highly-experienced magician showed some rare signs of trepidation. "Now, you might consider the following words an exaggeration, but the "present" I am about to present to you all is, without doubt, the most important one we have received in our lives." The paper firecrackers burst, and the once-empty box suddenly opened by itself. The crowd cheered, amazed — then fell suddenly into stunned silence. What stood onstage was no present — nay, this was the Hotel's manager, its owner, and their "Father." Her image was one of unsmiling dignity, and thus, though she did not come by often, no one dared to horse around whenever she was around. Surely, Lyney had gone completely mad to have her make her appearance in such a frivolous way. Yet, upon seeing the crowd's reaction, "Father" did not snap at anyone, opining merely that Lyney had kept this secret perfectly, just as a magic show should, declaring it worthy of praise. That night, the children and their "Father" delighted in the various desserts together, and she personally sliced a serving of cake for each of them, which she herself enjoyed some of as well. Perhaps the most amazing aspect of Lyney's Founding Day magic show was its ability to have even "Father" lay down her heavy burden and enjoy a brief moment of familial love. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4 |
| Character Story 4 | Magic and secrets piled up at Lyney's feet, growing ever taller like a tower. Gazing down from the top at the people as they passed by in the world below, Lyney knew there was no going back. Both the dazzling sleights of hand and the missions he would come to receive from Hotel Bouffes d'ete had made a habitual liar out of him. And while lies could sometimes be useful for seizing an advantage, they were more often employed to keep more people from being dragged into trouble. Lyney knew very well that once trust had collapsed, the scales of judgment would no longer remain impartial, and even noble goals would become twisted and thought of as evil. As such, not revealing more than was absolutely necessary was prudent when working with others. More often than not, this makes things go more smoothly, with everyone getting the results they want. But lies will not simply scatter on the wind, and Lyney must maintain this illusion with utmost care, all the while keeping his distance from those affected. As so the tower extended towards the skies, until there would be no one to take his hand if he reached out, and even their visages blurred in his eyes. Falsehood was Lyney's constant and only companion on the path that he walked, and this road was long and lonely — this he was always clear-minded about. Everyone knew the brilliant "Great Magician Lyney," but they loved only the mystery, the romance, the unattainable nature. They knew no love for the heart that lay deeper within. He felt he had no right to pour out his mind to others, and yet he must carry on with gritted teeth, for the price of a fall from such heights was more than he could bear. Having played too many parts, even Lyney would sometimes find himself questioning who "he" really was. His dreams often took him back to the tower, where his resting place at the pinnacle vantage would grow smaller and smaller, and with the fog of death they called "betrayal" extending all around, there was nowhere for him to go. But just before he could plummet, a hand grabbed onto him — and from it, he felt a familiar warmth that drew his soul back into his body, steadying "him" within himself once more. "Thank you, Lynette..." The awakening youth mumbled to himself. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 5 |
| Character Story 5 | While Hotel Bouffes d'ete's operations in Fontaine work toward a just cause, its methods can often be radical. Only the influence of "Father" and her control over the inner workings of the Court of Fontaine prevent any serious incidents from occurring. There was once an official funded by Lyney who served in the Maison Gardiennage. This person provided both intel in support of the Hotel's operations and scrubbed clean the effects of some of the Hotel's clandestine actions. These were actions that came with no small risk, but the official always performed them well, for he believed that the Fontaine of the present day needed someone like "Father" who could bypass the many layers of laws and regulations and take direct action. Lyney once joked to him: "I'll be there if you ever need help, and if you're in danger, I'll come to rescue you... Well, don't expect too much of that last bit. Just stay on guard, alright?" The official knew that this was Lyney's way of expressing concern, of course. Yet even words spoken in jest could prove prophetic later, and so they did — this official's deeds were eventually discovered, and on the brink of capture, he used an emergency communication device to send a message to Lyney. Upon discovering the device, the Gardes who arrived at the scene mocked the official's naivete, claiming that the signal sent merely informed his compatriots to save themselves — no one would be stupid enough to try to save him. The official's reply was also quite simple — even such an ending would have been fine for him, for he did not believe that his prior cooperation was the wrong decision. But just as the Gardes were about to arrest the official, thick smoke began billowing forth from dispensers pre-planted nearby, and the official caught sight of a brilliant blaze— The next moment, he was in the drink in the Fleuve Cendre, and was rescued by Freminet. It was said that the Gardes spent a great deal of time chasing after the skyborne flame-trail, believing that the criminal must have used some flying machine to flee the scene, only to discover later naught but wood dressed in clothes, affixed to a glider. In truth, Lyney had earlier used this device to draw the Gardes' attention away before getting the official out of his predicament. The official admitted that he had not had high hopes when pressing the device. Magicians were untrustworthy, after all — but still, he had chosen to gamble on that tiny chance. "Haha. Well, it is indeed a gamble to place your trust in others." "But don't worry. Magicians might be full of hot air, but we will never betray the expectations of our audience." * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6 |
| Rosseland | There is a special entity amongst the cats adopted by Lyney and Lynette, and its name is "Rosseland." Every cat in the Hotel has its own territory, but Rosseland has a special affinity for Lyney's hat. A hat is a magician's most important prop, and each time Lyney must use it, he must first chase Rosseland out — a difficult affair when its displeased meows in response are so heartrending, especially to siblings like Lyney and Lynette, who themselves once struggled to find a home. Thus the siblings began their search for a replacement, only to be met by refusal each time, no matter how lovely the new home — indeed, Rosseland would not even give them a second glance. Lyney even specially commissioned an identical hat, thinking that this might put an end to the cat's choosiness, only for Rosseland to lay claim that new hat also, becoming aggrieved no matter which was whisked away. But this was no feline tyranny. Indeed, Rosseland's requests were not terribly excessive. After much thought, Lyney eventually came up with a solution — to incorporate the cat into his magic shows. He and Lynette constructed a little puppet inside the hat that would normally serve as Rosseland's cushion. During performances, Rosseland would burrow inside the puppet, causing it to jink this way and that in a mischievous and adorable manner. And as it turned out, Rosseland was not at all shy — indeed, it greatly enjoyed its new job. Perhaps the spotlight brought it much enjoyment indeed, for it would never prove quite so predisposed to exclusive ownership again, even when it had to temporarily leave its nest when off-stage. During one of his shows, Lyney once made a rare error, having left a card he needed to produce on-stage backstage. With all eyes on him, he had mere seconds to think of a way to save the situation while maintaining his easy-going demeanor. But to his surprise, there was an unexpected weight in his hovering hat — it should have been empty, but Rosseland had somehow found its way inside. Out came the puppet, and out with it came the card Lyney had needed, to the instantaneous applause of all. Lyney heaved a sigh of relief, but he was also quite shocked, in truth. Some thought was put into this matter — but Lyney could only conclude that Rosseland had, influenced by the twins as it was, also mastered the art of the magical performance somehow. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4 |
| Vision | After Lynette gained the favor of the gods, the missions she had to undertake grew more dangerous and difficult. Only Vision-wielders like Lynette could fulfill the most dangerous missions while remaining completely anonymous, and the twins began to operate separately more often as a result. Lyney found himself unable to adapt to this. Not only had the siblings been together since childhood, but he knew that he was not the only one who felt disturbed by this split. He still desired to be beside her, lending her all the help he could — this was his non-negotiable desire. Knowing his desire for power was no longer pure, Lyney concluded that he had become undeserving of divine favor. Yet he still desired a means to bridge the vast gulf in strength between him and his sister, which he did not possess. Unless... To this end, he solemnly sought out "Father," expressing his belief that he needed the mysterious and perilous might of a Delusion to operate alongside his sister. "Father" was silent for a long while, till at last two slanted crosses pinned him in place with a wrath rarely shown to the children of the Hotel, her gaze seeming to pierce his very soul. "And would Lynette want you to do this?" Her simple yet powerful question cut through the strings that bound his heart, and in a daze, his sister's words once more reverberated in his ears. "No one needs self-satisfied concern." Lyney did not need to ask his sister to know that she would never accept his desire to stay by her side with the use of a Delusion. It was only then that he realized the absurdity of his wish. "Father" stood up and left, but not before reminding him that this was not the first time he had lacked power, but that he had found an answer before. Lyney would lock himself in his room, trying to digest the reasoning behind the words "Father" had left him with. When he and his sister had been out on the streets, the answer he had found then had been "magic." What, then, would the answer be now? Lyney found the dossiers for all the missions Lynette had taken up during this period, carefully analyzing the process of each one and modeling his sister's every action. Was it really necessary to pass through this dangerous valley to get close to a target? Was it really a must to leap into such a swift river to flee the scene? No, this was just the Vision's light covering her. Thus did Lyney start to make comprehensive plans for his sister's missions, using his understanding of her to design the most suitable routes, make the most practical tools, and choose the best rendezvous points. The trust between them did not change. The look in Lynette's eyes when she left was no longer so strained, and they often embraced heartily and happily when meeting at the rendezvous point. The pure desire to protect one's family would not be moved, gods' favor or no. But even the best laid plans of mice and men may go awry. After conducting dozens of successful missions, the children of the Hotel were caught up in a betrayal, and as a result, Lynette's movements were exposed. Before the siblings was a towering cliff, just like the night when Lynette had gained her Vision — but this time, it was Lyney's turn to reverse their fortunes in a moment of crisis. He opened his emergency paraglider, and grabbing her, threw himself off the edge. But their pursuers followed, raining gunfire down on them. Lyney twisted this way and that, avoiding many a shot, but still the glider was punctured in several spots. Unable to maintain balance, they began to plummet downward towards the embrace of the ground below. Still, Lyney grit his teeth and refused to despair — should fate itself conspire to refute the answer he had come up with to protect his family, he would defy it to the end. Their pursuers began to snicker, knowing that a fall at such speeds would be fatal — only to have a flame light up the skies, pushing the stricken glider toward a fast-flowing river nearby. The power of Pyro changed the direction of their fall, while Anemo defended them from harm — and thus did the twin lights intertwine and spread under the moonlight, fading slowly like the applause that fills the stage during a curtain call. Lyney did not guess at the meaning of the shining Vision he saw in his hand. The answer was, after all, no longer important. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6 |

Plainly awful sales, Yelan and excellent weapon banner didnt help, and AFAIK nobody cares about Fontaine past what needed to get event primos.
Mihoyo’s HQ is going nuts rn. They just wrecked whole new region of their cash cow while trying to milk husbando enjoyers, forgetting those already moved their wallets to HSR, where husbando are meta and look better too.
You can call me names, but it is enough to check any statistics that interest to the game dropped abruptly over last half year, since everybody knows new meta waifu will be released god knows when.
After almost one month I still didn’t understand how he can get a double skill (or resets)after his burst. Sometimes I get it sometimes I don’t. And I don’t find this clearly in the description
Can someone please explain?
I think what you are referring to is just using the skill button to cancel his bursy early.
Essentially, the way its done is Burst Hit 1 (can hit each enemy one time as you pass them) > Burst Hit 2 (end of the Burst animation, can be triggered early by skill button) > Skill Hit (AoE attack that can detonate any active taunts for even more damage)
aaah damn, i didn’t figure it out xD
thanks
I prefer his CA playstyle far far more than Hu Taos.
Lyney is simply way more comfortable to play than her.
I prefer her CA playstyle far far more than Lyney’s.
Hu tao is simply way more comfortable to play than him.
Clever argument, but you’d either be delusional or in denial (or both) if you really think she’s more comfortable to play than him.
thats funny cuz last i checked hu tao doesn’t need a shield to spam her charge attacks while on the brink of death to kill the enemy and move on with her life. unlike lyney whom must either play with shielder, play off bennett’s burst, or simply doesn’t do any charge shots. compare: lyney’s squishy, hp sacrificing, time dependent, stationary catks. vs hutao’s fat ass hp, speedy, mobile, thrusting thru enemies avoiding atks catks.
No hu tao needs to aim, wait 2 seconds, say “enemies, please dont move around too much, sobs”, and she also wants more pyro, when there’s two pyro fatuis hutao cries because there’s none hydro on the team, bennet’s heal is good to have making sure she’s up 60% of course she can burst to do that once in a while, well guess what lyney can too.
You do realize Bennett being reliant to Lyney is the same thing to Hu Tao paired with Xingqiu no?
And what is there to compare about their HP consumption? They both consume HP in exchange for better damage so I cant see the point of that statement. Moreover Lyney’s self healing is more accessible, which contributes to his survivability.
And what do you mean by stationary charge attacks on Lyney? A bit ignorant in your side but seems like you’ve forgetten about movement? He can still move while charging up his shots, and the taunt feature just being a plus.
On your last statement, I agree for the most part, until she runs out of stamina and dies in 1 hit.
Also forgot to mention an important point regarding their comfortability in terms of gameplay, is that Lyney does not need to consume stamina to do CAs which in return, ends up being used only for dodging attacks.
Another point needs to be taken, Lyney can hit enemies up high in the air which again, adds more comfortability and flexibility.
and bout dependent on xinqu. Like nilou payed solo and discussed she needs dendro or ayaka solo and discussed she needs hydro, Lyney doesn’t need any He’s da best. Good argument Socrates.
i think yall are missing the fundamentals here. for mr. so?, i dont really know what your getting at. your just sarcastically laying down the flaws but assuming i’m saying lyney is bad or unplayable? idk, you lost me on whatever game your tryna play.
sir bob, the point of comparing their hp consumption is hu tao builds hp and is a spear user. not only does she have copious amounts of hp to sacrifice, she also has an innately higher def compared to bow and catalyst users. lyney is already on the verge of one shot or getting melted by dot atks, sacrificing hp puts him deeper in that hole.
“…stationary charge attacks… a bit ignorant” a bit short sided on your part my friend. you really going to equivalate the slow walk spd when charging a bow to hu tao’s sped up spear charge atks that can rush thru multiple enemy bodies in an instant? and if you dont have c1, you can still sacrifice some stamina to dodge big atks making her even more mobile while still getting charge atks off. if lyney has to dodge thats a charge atk gone.
hu tao doesnt have to do solely charge atks like lyney, you can weave in normals. ppl forget her entire kit gets boosted in her skill. doing normals every now and then can help preserve stamina. your activating xq&yl’s bursts more frequent as well so its not aa big of a dps loss as some ppl might think. idk this for sure cuz i heard it recently, her n2c is actually her highest dps combo. it might only be applicable for non-c1.
as for your last another point, hes a range unit that can do ranged things. ok, but thats only applicable for a few things. e.g. ruin drake, anemo balloon hili-whatchamacallits, thundering annoyance maybe (at least i know i use yoi for that so i dont have to chase it). floating enemies however, dont usually fly up higher than a melee unit cant hit them.
and finally cuz i think ppl aren’t understanding a situation with the bringing up of “pairs” when the only thing i said was pairing lyney with a shield vs hu tao. when i said “play off bennett’s burst” its cuz his burst is a confined ring that enemies will congregate on to atk you. taunt or not, wide hits will hit you and if you dodge you lose a charge atk. you would have to back off of the enemies and subsequently off of benny burst losing that major atk buff. if your not playing benny with lyney your still not on that buff, your instead on someone else, but idk who cuz theres not many chars that pair well with him.
No you’d either be delusional or in denial (or both) if you really think he’s more comfortable to play than her.
I’d like to believe you’re an adult person <3 Atleast try
I 100% agree. Nobody plays hutao for that reason. cant do ca, stamina problem, simply unplayable, sobs. since 1.5 people playing all characters but hutao, ranting bout her stamina.
Bob, I was replyin ratfKing where you didnt find relevency
It depends on player’s preference, tbf. I barely play shooting games and I really dislike the CA bow gameplay in Genshin. Waiting and aiming is too clunky, especially on mobile devices. HuTao’s CA is clunky too, but at least I can handle a little. I won’t pull for any CA bow unit unless she/he is as gorgeous as Ganyu.
And bob, You and I should both should get a life than wasting time in a random website, about random game with random people. what’s the point at the end of the day whether this pixel character is better than that.
I have 3 different jobs, speak for yourself lol.
I rarely speak my opinions on this website and you made such childish remarks.
That’s good Bob. Good for you, Bob. But Bob, what values these opinions here have?! Let’s say you win arguing against my childish remarks, Do you or I get followers/admiration of any sort that’s beneficial? Bob. lyney/hutao get better sales and that profit us anyway? No Bob, Let’s waste no more.
If you think something childish dont be a child too, just ignore, it Like imma about do.
I love the comment sections this sites. toxic wasteland
Freedom of speech baby! Definitely not for the sensitive hearts.
Uh… ignoring the super polarizing comments here: Lyney is a totally solid unit. Fun too. I’d put him right next to Hu Tao in terms of power with a few differences. HuTao just loves her Hydro supports and shielders, while Lyney is practically forced to use Bennett at minimum due to the Pyro roster hating being allergic to adding new healers (not counting Prototype Amber). Lyney I feel can qualify as a proper ST+AoE Hybrid DPS while HuTao is Single Target oriented. Also HuTao likes having her C1 for “max efficiency” while Lyney can do fine at C0. Similar to Tao, I think he’s just a hair above Yoimiya in exchange for a less easy-to-pick-up playstyle.
Bennett managed to die halfway through 12-3-2 and Lyney finished the boss by just spamming his abilities while dodging the heavily telegraphed attacks. And another fun moment, i forget which chamber/floor this was but he managed to taunt two cryo lawachurls for 100% of the fight by charged shots alone. They were on the other side of the arena and didn’t even try to come closer! I bet he could have handled them if they attacked properly, but god was that satisfying. Bless this boy and his fun little gimmicks.
Personally I always love his Self-Heal ability, overall I always love units (DPS) that can self-heal. For Lyney I know it’s more like HP refund, but enough to give him to self-sustain a bit because his prop surplus also counts towards the portion of his healing giving him some more HP should you received dmg outside of your CA cost.
Just played the new Abyss with my Lyney and Alhaitham (the only other good Sumeru character) teams and they destroyed this Abyss. I can imagine people malding right now as they regret not pulling for the best Pyro character in the game with how much damage he does…it’s nuts. But hey there’s two other characters that might be a bit better than Lyney coming out next patch so it’s not too bad for those people.
best pyro my ass. He’s under yoimia. I don’t see a reason why people who have yoimia would this kafka costumed dude over her.
Lyney: has AoE, Good Single Target, never misses because his cats hone-in
Yoimiya: has Ass on Everything, Only Single Target, casting her burst is like chopping off a finger
her na is 8 time’s faster than midney ca dps if you are smart enough to add the numbers yoimia does when midney is charging then you would know who does more dmg. then there is having not to aim at all. talk about aoe? midney sure has that every once in a century to be called as an aoe dps.
Yoimiya suffers from bad ICD, lack of aoe, lower damage than Lyney, unreliable vapes from her teammates, etc. Why tf are people so insistent on saying Lyney is worse? He knocks Yoimiya out of the water and rivals Hu Tao in terms of damage output
yoimia is like a freaking catalyst user on steroid. pair her with xinqu yelan and that’s the best freaking single target boss killer team there could be. Go see some comparison videos on youtube before spitting bullshits.
how did he became best pyro character again?! “Random dude name “FONTAINE POWERCREEP” said so”. No body cares.
I destroyed abyss without these two
Am I a wizard? :O
Seriously, low quality bait 2/10
My Nilou team destroyed this Abyss half asleep lol
At least he has better AoE compared to Mid Tao and is on par with her in ST with great range to deal with flying bosses so he can even clear faster against flying bosses as well in ST. My C1R1 Mid Tao clears slower than Lyney in 90% of abyss while she’s better for only 10% of abyss lmfao. Fontaine powercreep is real
i agree but your constant complaint about hu tao kinda lowers the value of your criticism
acting like two legends can’t coexist
I enjoy each for their differences and main both, we are not the same.
He doesn’t even take her supports,.
i bet u dont have hutao. making this crap up to cope with your pity building misfortune.
I wish I had gotten her C1 on accident, it makes me even sadder I wasted my guarantee for her constellation in 3.4 thinking it as a good idea but she is powercrept by Lyney even when Hu Tao has constellations while Lyney is C0. It’s not cope, it’s just the new reality
there are comparison video’s on youtube go check these out. You have either lucky dogs on hutao or just barking nonsense. what proof can you give that you even got hu tao. just making out bullshits to cope with whatever you got.
you are somehow kinda making this “the fox without a tail story”
one of the most beautiful and scary stories they have. People who accepted the cruelty of fate and were able to preserve their psyche and accept reality.
Best Pyro Character in Game Now. WhoTao Ganyu Midyaka powercreepepd Long ago
better fish somewhere else
National always has been top tiered in abyss. is there a necessity to break it? ls lymidny mono pyro better than it? no at all by any means. He makes it more restrictive. Xiangling’s snapshotting no icd burst loses most of it’s value for the shackles Lyney puts on her by not allowing hydro supports. Lyney just downgrades national. Do yourself a favor save your primos unless you are too bored. these kids are just on copium getting a new toy after two long patches.
Imagine caring this much about the Spiral Abyss. It’s not even great gameplay; but again that’s just my opinion. So, the rest of this game isn’t difficult really. So just pull characters you want. You sound like a tryhard with the “LOL Lymidny” crap. Just embarrassing really. Don’t like him? Don’t pull him. Easy. I pulled because aesthetics, he’s fun to play(I don’t use mono Pyro because who cares) and three his passive is very useful if you’re impatient like me.
