Lyney, a bow user who wields the element of Pyro, made his debut in Genshin Impact as the first five-star character hailing from the enchanting region of Fontaine. With a flair for showmanship and the art of illusion, Lyney's abilities are centered around captivating magic tricks and evoking the essence of a traditional circus. Alongside his sister, Lynette, these two extraordinary individuals not only mark the pioneering characters to be playable from Fontaine, but also serve as the esteemed emissaries of Fontaine's grand unveiling back in 2020.
To ascend and enhance his abilities, individuals must gather the appropriate materials from various locations within Teyvat. While some of these items can be obtained outside of Fontaine, it will be necessary to spend some time there. This comprehensive guide provides all the necessary information on the materials required to unlock Lyney's maximum potential.

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Fatui Insignias
Out of the three characters introduced in the initial patch by Fontaine, namely Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet, Lyney stands out as the sole character acquiring an enemy drop known as Fatui Insignias, which can be obtained outside of Fontaine. These exclusive emblems are obtained by defeating various Fatui footsoldiers such as Skirmishers, Cicin Mages, and Pyro Agents—excluding Mirror Maidens.
At higher levels, these enemies can drop better items:
Any level: Recruit's Insignia
Level 40 and up: Sergeant's Insignia
Level 60 and up: Lieutenant's Insignia
Boss Drop - How to Get Emperor's Resolution
It may come as a surprise, but the circus magician's path to advancement lies in the claws of a colossal crab. Lyney's ascension material, known as Emperor's Resolution, can only be obtained by defeating the fearsome Emperor of Fire and Iron, a formidable world boss that inhabits the perilous Fontaine region.
Local Specialty - Rainbow Rose Locations
The Rainbow Rose, which is the local specialty used in Lyney's ascension, can be exclusively found in Fontaine. Stay tuned for a forthcoming guide revealing the various locations where this vibrant and picturesque flower can be discovered!
