Genshin Lyney Skills and Passives

Now is the time to check on the skills and passives of this awesome character, Lyney. In this guide, we will first introduce the character's skills, and then you will learn the passives. So let us get going! There are three skills Lyney called normal skill, elemental skill, and elemental burst. Once you know about all these three skills, it will be a great advantage for you. 

Normal Skill

The normal skill of this character unleashes four charging attacks fired off of a prop arrow which deals damage to the enemies. In this normal attack, after some fully charged attacks, the Grin-Malkin Hat will be summoned, which is an excellent source of damaging enemies in this character that has the skill of taunting enemies continually. 

When Lyney's HP is above a specific level, his charge level two will consume some of his HP and get one stack of Prop Surplus, with a maximum of five. When the Grin-Malkin Hat is destroyed, this hat will deal massive pyro damage to a nearby enemy, which we call the Pyrotechnic Strike. And this attack deals charged attack damage to the opponents. 

Elemental Skill

And the next is the elemental skill of Lyney which is called Bewildering Lights. In this skill, the stacked-up Prop Surplus in the above skill will be used to deal extra damage to the enemies, mainly an Area of Effect damage. The amount of the Area of Effect damage dealt by this skill will depend on the Prop Surplus stacked in the previous skill. The more Prop Surplus attacks, the more Area of Effect damage will be unleashed. 

When the stacked-up Prop Surplus is used in this elemental skill, the HP amount that Lyney lost to stack up Prop Surplus during his normal attack will be restored to himself. And also, this elemental skill will cause the Grin Malkin Hat to explode on the field and deal Area of Effect Pyro damage to all the enemies within the range. 

Elemental Burst

As for the third skill, we will explain the elemental burst of Lyney, which we call Wondrous Trick: Miracle Parade. In this skill, Lyney will turn himself into a Grin Malkin Cat, allowing him to move around faster while dealing Pyro damage to the enemies he encounters on his way. This Grin Malkin Cat transformation lasts only for a specific time duration. When the time ends, Lyney will unleash flames dealing Area of Effect Pyro damage to the enemies within the range. Besides that, he summons the Grin Malkin Hat and obtains one stack of Prop Surplus for himself.

Lyney Passives 

 When it comes to the passive skills of Lyney, the new character released with the Genshin Impact 4.0 Fontaine update, there are three passives for him. The first passive skill is called Perilous Performance.
