How should I utilise Lyney from Genshin Impact?

During a fight, Lyney's charged blows launch Prop Arrows that call forth a Grin-Malkin Hat. This taunts an opponent and, when it expires, launches a Pyrotechnic Strike that does pyro damage to that opponent. Prioritise this, then use his ultimate and more powerful strikes as a follow-up.

Which are Lyney's finest weapons?

Lyney's strong crit rate—especially crit damage—makes him very effective. Try to make this your primary stat. If not, bows that increase attack or energy regeneration will be beneficial.

What materials does Lyney use for ascension?

You'll have to go into Fontaine's wilds if you want to climb Lyney to an altitude of 90. He requires a drop from the Emperor of Fire and Iron monster, the rainbow rose, and a Fontaine regional flower.
Required level Mora Materials
20 20,000 One agnidus agate sliver, three rainbow roses, three recruit’s insignia
40 40,000 Three agnidus agate fragments, two emperor’s resolution, ten rainbow roses, 15 recruit’s insignia
50 60,000 Six agnidus agate fragments, four emperor’s resolutions, 20 rainbow roses, 12 sergeant’s insignia
60 80,000 Three agnidus agate chunks, eight emperor’s resolutions, 30 rainbow roses, 18 sergeant’s insignia
70 100,000 Six agnidus agate chunks, 12 emperor’s resolutions, 45 rainbow roses, 12 sergeant’s insignia
80 120,000 Six agnidus agate gemstones, 20 emperor’s resolutions, 60 rainbow roses, 24 sergeant’s insignia
You may locate every item required to climb Lyney here:
  • Agnidus agate – obtain from normal and weekly bosses – especially the pyro hypostasis and pyro regisvine – or craft via alchemy
  • Rainbow roses – these flowers grow in Fontaine, especially in the Beryl and Court of Fontaine areas
  • Emperor’s resolution – this item drops from the Emperor of Fire and Iron boss, located in an under-sea cave in Fontaine
  • Recruit, sergeant, and lieutenant insignia – obtain from Fatui enemies all across Teyvat

What skill materials does Lyney have?

Like Lyney's ascension materials, he need fresh Fontaine talent books in addition to a large amount of Fatui drops.Go to these places and pursue these opponents to find all these parts and pieces:
  • Recruit, sergeant, and lieutenant insignia – obtain from Fatui enemies all across Teyvat
  • Equity talent books – farm these in the Pale Forgotten Glory domain in Fontaine on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday
  • Primordial Greenblooms – you can get these as a reward for the weekly Apep boss – The Realm of Beginnings – in Sumeru’s Desert of Hadramaveth.  If you don’t get the right drop, you can transform them at an alchemy station

Priority of talent:

Prioritise this since Lyney's charged attack, which is a component of his regular attack string, accounts for a large portion of his damage.
  • Normal attack > elemental skill > elemental burst
