Who is Lyney in Genshin Impact?
Lyney is the upcoming 5-star Pyro character in version 4.0 of Genshin Impact. He debuts with siblings Lynette and Freminet in Act IV of the “Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview” - Fontaine. Lyney and Lynette are celebrated magicians whose acts have captivated the hearts of the city’s residents.
Widely considered the best showman in all of Fontaine, Lyney is a master magician using the power of deception and trickery to dazzle his audience. He possesses an enigmatic personality and a charm that is hard to beat. Outside the stage, our hero takes on a more realistic personality - in the form of an older brother and an honorable friend.
In terms of gameplay, Lyney plays out like most Bow-wielding characters. He possesses standard attacks, elemental skills, and bursts. His playstyle can be compared to Ganyu's ability to use charged attacks. However, unlike Ganyu, Lyney can consume his own HP to boost damage output.
Genshin Impact version 4.0 is expected to release sometime around August 16, 2023. This much-awaited update brings with it the nation of Fontaine, allowing players to explore a brand-new region and unlock its secrets. Version 4.0 will be made available for the PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
