CRIT DMG

Lyney does high damage using his Charged Attacks along with supplemental damage from his Skill and Burst. Because of his A4, he is commonly used in Mono-Pyro teams. Weapon rankings assume he is used with Bennett and using Marechaussee Hunter (4).
Regarding Weapon Choices:

The First Great Magic: This weapon assumes 2 passive stacks. With 3 stacks of the passive, this weapon is much better than Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage. Otherwise, it performs similarly.
Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage: This weapon assumes 2 passive stacks. With only 1 passive stack it performs similarly to Thundering Pulse.

Regarding Artifacts:

Vermillion Hereafter (4): Only use this set if Lyney can Burst every rotation. If he can, this set is better than Lavawalker (4). Start your rotation with Lyney's Burst if using this set.
Shimenawa's Reminiscence (4): Only use this set if Lyney cannot Burst every rotation. If the following is true, this set is better than Lavawalker (4). Start your rotation with Lyney's Skill if using this set.
Retracing Bolide (4): Only worthwhile if Lyney uses a strong shielder.

Regarding Artifact Main Stats: Main Stats are assuming Lyney is using Marechaussee Hunter (4). Crit Rate circlet becomes more viable on non-MH sets.
Regarding Talent Priority: Lyney's Skill and Burst talent priority largely depends on how often he uses his Burst and how many Prop Surplus stacks he gains per rotation.

Lyney Skills

Card Force Translocation

Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow.

Plunging Attack
Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Charged Attack
Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG.
While aiming, flames will run across the arrowhead before being fired. Different effects will occur based on the time spent charging.
·Charge Level 1: Fires off a Pyro-infused arrow, dealing Pyro DMG.
·Charge Level 2: Fires off a Prop Arrow that deals Pyro DMG, and upon hit, it will summon a Grin-Malkin Hat.
When firing the Prop Arrow, and when Lyney has more than 60% HP, he will consume a portion of his HP to obtain 1 Prop Surplus stack. Max 5 stacks. The effect will be removed after the character spends 30s out of combat.
The lowest Lyney can drop to through this method is 60% of his Max HP.

Grin-Malkin Hat
·Can taunt nearby opponents and attract their attacks. Each opponent can only be taunted by the Hat once every 5s.
·The Hat will inherit a percentage of Lyney's Max HP.
·If destroyed, or if its duration expires, it will fire off a Pyrotechnic Strike at 1 nearby opponent, dealing Pyro DMG.
Only 1 Hat can exist at any given time.

Arkhe: Pneuma
At certain intervals, the Prop Arrow will cause a Spiritbreath Thorn to descend upon its hit location, dealing Pneuma-aligned Pyro DMG.

Bewildering Lights

"Everyone knows that magicians will intentionally misdirect the audience... Ah, yes, while you were looking my way, the hat and assistant over there have both disappeared... Fascinating, is it not?"

Lyney does a flourish with his hat, unleashing a firework surprise!
When used, he will clear all current Prop Surplus stacks and deal AoE Pyro DMG to opponents in front of him. DMG will be increased according to the stacks cleared, and this will also regenerate Lyney's HP based on his Max HP.

When a Grin-Malkin Hat created by Lyney is on the field, the fireworks will cause it to explode, dealing AoE Pyro DMG equal to that of a Pyrotechnic Strike.
The DMG dealt through the Grin-Malkin Hat in this way is considered Charged Attack DMG.

Wondrous Trick: Miracle Parade

"Watch closely now. This is a time for miracles, and it belongs to just the two of us!"

Unleashing his magic, Lyney turns himself into a Grin-Malkin Cat that can move around quickly. (Not to be mistaken for the Grin-Malkin Hat. They're two different props!)
When the Grin-Malkin Cat gets close to opponents, it will send flames falling down on them, dealing at most 1 instance of Pyro DMG to each opponent. When the duration ends, he will dismiss the Grin-Malkin Cat and ignite fireworks that deal AoE Pyro DMG, summon 1 Grin-Malkin Hat, and grant himself 1 Prop Surplus stack.

Grin-Malkin Cat can be actively canceled.

Passive Talent

Perilous Performance

Ascension Phase 1

If Lyney consumes HP when firing off a Prop Arrow, the Grin-Malkin hat summoned by the arrow will, upon hitting an opponent, restore 3 Energy to Lyney and increase DMG dealt by 80% of his ATK.

Conclusive Ovation

Ascension Phase 4

The DMG Lyney deals to opponents affected by Pyro will receive the following buffs:
·Increases the DMG dealt by 60%.
·Each Pyro party member other than Lyney will cause the DMG dealt to increase by an additional 20%.
Lyney can deal up to 100% increased DMG to opponents affected by Pyro in this way.

Lyney's outfit. Cats only stretch in front of those they trust completely. Otherwise, they merely hide their claws behind a smile — intimate yet reserved, just like the sweet words of this magician.
