Genshin Impact Best Lyney Build

- Artifact Set: Marechaussee Hunter
- Main Stats:
- Sands – ATK
- Goblet – Pyro DMG Bonus
- Circlet – CRIT DMG

- Main Stats:
- Constellation: C2
- Talent Priority: Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst
As usual, the best gear for Lyney is his signature weapon, The First Great Magic, with its CRIT DMG main stat. This bow is amazing if you are running a mono-Pyro team with Lyney as the main DPS. For each Pyro character you have in your ream, you can get one Gimmick stack, which will boost his ATK. You can get up to three stacks, and it will raise Lyney’s ATK by 48 percent.
For Artifact, you should equip the Marechaussee Hunter set, which can boost Lyney’s Normal and Charged Attack DMG by 15 percent. Its four-piece set effect can offer a CRIT Rate boost whenever Lyney’s HP fluctuates.
If you plan to get copies of Lyney, you should aim to unlock his C2, Loquatious Cajoling. This Constellation lets him gain a Crisp Focus stack every two seconds, which can increase his CRIT DMG up to 60 percent. Be warned that this buff will be canceled when Lyney leaves the Field.
When upgrading his Talents, you should prioritize leveling up his Normal Attack because his main source of damage is from the Grin-Malkin Hat. Afterward, you can level up both his Elemental Skill and Burst if you want to get extra damage.
That’s the end of our guide on how to build Lyney. For more Genshin content, you should check out our article on the best build for Bennett. He is one of the best supports in the game, and he can heal your team and buff Lyney’s damage.
