Seeing vermillion 4pc being viable on another chara other than xiao is pretty interesting :0 seems like the set might be good for other units too if there’s a pattern with charas losing hp for skills/ults

[@sleeplessknight173]

It seems to be part of basically every Fontaine character's kit.

[@tripplesouth]

Hmm, only issue is it's only activated 16 seconds after burst. And you lose the buff when you switch character. So it's still a little clunky if you want to burst, skill, switch to bennett for buffs.

[@permin9533]

Ye but some of those charas will not scale of atk, and the new set is made for them really anyway

[@raurisaurus5057]

​@@tripplesouthI think in the case of Vermillion it'll be more like: Burst, CA (2-3), Skill. You'd use Bennet first though, and then do that rotation.

[@tripplesouth]

@@raurisaurus5057 isn't that only up to 2 charge attacks gaining benefit of the 1 and 2 stacks of the attack buffs? And the skill gaining benefit of 3 buff stacks and then nothing more? Still feels a bit clunky, even in best scenario.

[@potatocat2445]

As someone who likes to main tighnari, his gameplay tempted me since his rotations seem easy enough without losing dmg when swapping. But i'm gonna stay strong and go for the other fontaine characters i wanted and maybe get him on his rerun. Nevetheless he seems like a great character to start the fontaine patch and a really f2p friendly banner to pull for! Thanks for the video Sevy!

[@theshwomp625]

Hello fellow Tigh main! Same boat really. Seems mad cool and I like his signature weapon alot but i'm thinking about a better Tighnari team for options. Spread /Aggravate /Hyperbloom >>> all else

[@DaVladitor]

I am also a big fan of Tignari and it made me want to get Linney for this very thing. I already got it together with his signature weapon and I can say that if it catches your attention it is a pretty strong option, currently with a set of combined artifacts (because I haven't farmed theirs yet) it manages to do 90k damage per charged shot, I estimate that with a coherent set of artifacts will manage to reach 120k per charged shot. It really is a great option and I think it's totally worth it c: (sorry if it's not well understood, use a translator)

[@SuperKlode]

Okay, I stand corrected, he is better than the special program made him out to be 😊 It was really not that clear that the charged attack cat and the elemental skill was separate from eachother 😅

[@cocogoat1111]

As a Ganyu main for a long time needless to say I'm loving Lyneys gameplay! He's my favorite Fontaine character so far.

[@jerichoi8684]

Thank you for an extremely helpful guide like always Sevy😊

[@sleeplessknight173]

I didn't actually have much interest in him initially, I simply wanted to pull for his sister and get some of her cons cause I love anemo. Then I somehow got a c2 Lyney in two consecutive 10 pulls. So I kinda feel compelled to build him as best I can and use him properly. Thankfully the more I look into him the more fun he seems to be. I look forward to when I can finally finish leveling him.

[@HazZzel-]

His c2 is cracked, congrats!

[@Auleymoley]

Used my guaranteed for him and having a blast(pun intended.) I don’t really like Ganyus play style but Lyneys is so fun to me plus I love the magician design as well and his damage is so refreshing compared to some units hoyo have been putting out that require cons to even be viable!

[@jinminchoi838]

Who are the 5* units that require constellations to be "viable"?

[@jazzymare]

@@jinminchoi838 they never specifically said 5 star units

[@jinminchoi838]

@@jazzymare it was a fair question. I can only think of Faruzan who gets a significant amount of increase from C6 compared with C0. But even then she is still viable, not borderline unplayable. And it's already been established that 4 stars need to unlock their C6 to reach their max potential. And constellations for 5-star units are generally viewed as QoL improvements and boosts to their personal damage. And they were using Lyney for comparison which is a 5-star. So I assumed the question was categorically for 5 stars units.

[@Cilibi]

@@jinminchoi838Most Hu Tao users go for c1 because of how much better it makes her feel to play, that’s the closest I can think of though

It’s only over the last week of learning the game that I realize just how rare that would be. But he is really fun to play. Thanks for the guide!

[@MarihanChao]

Thank you for the speedy and nice to watch guide as usual~! Kind of baffled he is not in the Standard Banner. Did his trial a few times and he just felt like a less fun/similarily un-fun version of Tighnari or Ganyu, just with (probably??) much higher numbers. Happy for those who like him tho ofc.

[@xerosx4741]

Thanks! Now I can't decide to pull on weapon banner or not (I won't build pity anyway). The only 5* weapon from weapon banner I have is Aqua Simulacra, but Ganyu, Yelan & Tighnari are all fighting for it. Either another one or The Magical... would be useful, especially I need to use bow characters in both Spiral Abyss Teams. At the other side, I don't have Childe and there are more Fountaine characters coming...

[@justadragonnamemarcus1751]

I didn't expect him to be that powerful

[@henryeowens]

Lyney’s builds remind me of the Nilou bloom teams. There is great damage, but only if you build the whole team to support his passives. I see this as a great way for Mihoyo to make pyro DPS more relevant, for a while at least. Since pyro is best against hydro, he that could be a huge help in Fontaine.

[@ChozotheBozo]

Unlike Nilou, Lyney's kit isn't entirely ruined if your team elements don't fit. Nilou's special cores don't work at all if you don't follow the hydro+dendro team, but you can run 2 or 1 pyro and Lyney will still work about the same.

[@notatallfunctional]

I’m praying Arlechino will have good synergy with him, since we have very few pyro options for him.

[@hazardsigns]

OMG. I have been debating Lyney vs waiting for Yoimiya rerun, as I have strong DPS in every other element. My pyro is limited to Bennet and Xiangling. I took 100 wishes and 17 pity (got Yelan con right at the start of the patch). I got him early and had spare wishes, so thought I'd try my luck on the weapons banner (didn't know my pity, as it's been a long long time since I wished on a weapon). Got Aqua and STILL have 20 wishes left! 😱 This is my luck for the whole of Fontaine 😂 Time to start living in domains ...got a whole new set to grind for, books for talents and weapon mats. Here I thought I'd be chilling until the archon made her appearance. No regrets though 🙈

[@the2kids915]

I got his signature weapon for my C1 Ganyu in 29 pulls (Never pulled in the weapon banner before). But it's quite tempting to pull for him.🤔

[@oghenetegaejovwo-ottoh4439]

I actually did like his playstyle. I had fun trying him out in the character trial, and I'm honestly a little tempted to pull for him just for his passive talent for locating Fontaine specialties. However, I'd already long since planned to save up for C1 Yelan, and I've got her! So Lyney will have to wait for a later time. Hopefully, another Fontaine character, preferably a 4 star, will be released with the same passive. I find it unfair to lock it behind a limited 5 star character like they did with Klee, and I was relieved when Mika dropped.

I got my boy and his bow on first try, I'm pretty happy

[@kyon-kyon71]

My rotation with him is 2 CA then rotate to teammates then do 2 CA and Burst to get 5 stacks then skill with bennett burst still on. By doing 2 CA first I get the Artifacts passive on and get 2 stacks. After rotating, I have buff for my 2 CA and Burst, especially his skill. It's so satisfying to finish enemies with his skill.

[@forfuchsake2254]

Yeah I'm suprised he wasn't mentioned once D:

[@sclom5676]

you technically could but because he really doesn't want to NA to proc it and his shield without stacking is pretty small if you are at the point where that is your best shielding option you are better off forgoing a shield. What I'm most surprised to not hear about was the other 2 options, Dehya and Tankfei (c4 Yanfei) because they provide good interruption resist, although both will generally take Xiangling's spot and you would run Kazuha, or Lynette/Venti if you don't have him.
