Best Lyney Build & Team In Genshin Impact

No matter which character you pick in Genshin Impact, you must build them with the best weapon, artifacts, and team composition to get the most out of them. Lyney is the latest 5-star playable character that will get added to the Genshin Impact 4.0 update with the release of the Fontaine region.

He has a Pyro vision, and you can have a look at him in the "Overture Teaser: The Final Feast" along with other characters coming along with him. If you manage to pull Lyney from his banner, you can have a look at his best build and team composition below.

HoYoverse has revealed the details about Lyney and based on his abilities, he is best suited for the DPS role in the party, and here are the best weapon and artifacts you can use to build him.

Best Weapon

Leaks have revealed the signature weapon of Lyney, and it will be called The First Great Magic. It will thus be the best suited for him; however, if you can't get your hands on it, you can also go with Primordial Jade Cutter.

The First Great Magic (Level 1)

ATK increased by 12%. For every party member with the same Elemental Type as the wielder (including the wielder themselves), gain 1 Gimmick stack. For every party member with a different Elemental Type from the wielder, gain 1 Theatrics stack. When the wielder has 1/2/3 or more Gimmick stacks, ATK will be increased by 8%/16%/40%. When the wielder has 1/2/3 or more Theatrics stacks, Movement SPD will be increased by 4%/7%/10%.

Thundering Pulse (Level 1)

Increases ATK by 20% and grants the might of the Thunder Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, the Thunder Emblem increases Normal Attack DMG by 12/24/40%. The character will obtain 1 stack of Thunder Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals DMG (stack lasts 5s), casting Elemental Skill (stack lasts 10s); Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full). Each stack's duration is calculated independently.

Best Artifact Set

Golden Troupe (4-piece) is the best artifact set for Lyney, but if you don't have it, you can go with Crimson Witch of Flames (4-piece).

Golden Troupe

• 2-Piece Bonus: Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 20%.
• 4-Piece Bonus: Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 20%. Additionally, when not on the field, Elemental Skill DMG will be further increased by 20%. This effect will be cleared 2s after taking the field.

Crimson Witch of Flames

• 2-Piece Bonus: Pyro DMG Bonus +15%
• 4-Piece: Increases Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using an Elemental Skill increases 2-Piece Set effects by 50% for 10s. Max 3 stacks.

Best Lyney Team Composition in Genshin Impact

In order to get the most out of Lyney, we recommend you include Electro, Cryo, and Dendro characters in the team to trigger elemental reactions that will increase the damage and its duration. In addition to this, these elements are also enough to trigger Dendro reactions like Spread, Hyperbloom, etc., to deal bonus damage. 

As an Electro character, you can either pick Raiden Shogun, Yae Miko, or Fischl and to fill up the space of a Dendro character, Nahida or Alhaitham will be great choices. At last, you can choose Ayaka as your Cryo character in the team.

Thus, the best team composition for Lyney in Genshin Impact will be Raiden Shogun/Yae Miko/Fischl, Nahida/Alhaitham, and Ayaka.
