Genshin Impact Exclusive Video Leak Unveils Powerful Pyro Team Composition with Lyney

A leaked video of the upcoming five-star character Lyney in a Pyro team composition has been revealed for Genshin Impact. The game features a unique combat system where players can create a team of up to four characters with different elements, allowing for the triggering of various elemental reactions.

In Genshin Impact, team compositions generally consist of a main DPS, a sub-DPS, and two support characters that offer damage buffs, healing, or shielding abilities. While the second banner cycle for version 3.8 is still a few weeks away, the game's official social media accounts have already confirmed the new characters that will be added to the playable roster in the upcoming 4.0 update.

One of the new characters introduced is Lyney, a five-star Pyro bow user who has been the subject of numerous rumors since 2020. A recent tweet by a user named timing1337 showcases Lyney's effectiveness within a Pyro party. While earlier leaks revealed much of his abilities, this is the first opportunity for players to witness Lyney in actual combat. The party consists of three Pyro units - Lyney, Xiangling, and Bennett - along with an Anemo support character, Kaedehara Kazuha. The player utilizes the abilities of the supporting cast before transitioning into Lyney's role as the main damage dealer. Some fans have commented that activating all of these mechanics requires a considerable amount of time, resulting in Bennett's Fantastic Voyage field expiring even before Lyney begins shooting arrows.

Lyney's kit centers around his unique Charged Attack, which possesses an additional effect when the charging time is extended. This attack can summon a Grin-Malkin Hat that taunts nearby enemies, allowing Lyney to maintain a safe distance. Some players have recognized his potential to excel as the top Pyro DPS character in the game, alongside the polearm user Hu Tao.

Please note that the damage numbers shown in the video may not be reliable as the footage appears to be from a private server. However, the leak provides valuable insights into how Lyney's DPS rotation could potentially fit into various team compositions in Genshin Impact.

Lyney's Elemental Burst, known as Miracle Parade, is the highlight of his skillset. This ability transforms him into a colossal hat that bounces around, inflicting significant Pyro damage in a wide area. In addition to Lyney, the 4.0 update for Genshin Impact will introduce two new four-star characters called Lynette and Freminet, according to HoYoverse.

Genshin Impact is available for PC, Mobile, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
