Lyney

A genius of a magician famed throughout Fontaine. He moves his audience with a combination of sleight of hand and the gift of the gab. Eloquent, ingenious, and with a mind as hard to fathom as a cat.

Skills Talent

Card Force Translocation

Normal Attack

• Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow.

Charged Attack

• Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, flames will run across the arrowhead before being fired. Different effects will occur based on the time spent charging.
  • Charge Level 1: Fires off a Pyro-infused arrow, dealing Pyro DMG.
  • Charge Level 2: Fires off a Prop Arrow that deals Pyro DMG, and upon hit, it will summon a Grin-Malkin Hat.
• When firing the Prop Arrow, and when Lyney has more than 60% HP, he will consume a portion of his HP to obtain 1 Prop Surplus stack. Max 5 stacks. The effect will be removed after the character spends 30s out of combat.
  The lowest Lyney can drop to through this method is 60% of his Max HP.

Grin-Malkin Hat

• Can taunt nearby opponents and attract their attacks. Each opponent can only be taunted by the Hat once every 5s.
  The Hat will inherit a percentage of Lyney’s Max HP.
  If destroyed, or if its duration expires, it will fire off a Pyrotechnic Strike at 1 nearby opponent, dealing Pyro DMG.
  Only 1 Hat can exist at any given time.

Plunging Attack

• Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Arkhe: Pneuma

• At certain intervals, the Prop Arrow will cause a Spiritbreath Thorn to descend upon its hit location, dealing Pneuma-aligned Pyro DMG.

Elemental Skill—Bewildering Lights

• Lyney does a flourish with his hat, unleashing a firework surprise! When used, he will clear all current Prop Surplus stacks and deal AoE Pyro DMG to opponents in front of him. DMG will be increased according to the stacks cleared, and this will also regenerate Lyney’s HP based on his Max HP.
• When a Grin-Malkin Hat created by Lyney is on the field, the fireworks will cause it to explode, dealing AoE Pyro DMG equal to that of a Pyrotechnic Strike.
• The DMG dealt through the Grin-Malkin Hat in this way is considered Charged Attack DMG.

Elemental Burst—Wondrous Trick: Miracle Parade

• Unleashing his magic, Lyney turns himself into a Grin-Malkin Cat that can move around quickly. (Not to be mistaken for the Grin-Malkin Hat. They’re two different props!)
• When the Grin-Malkin Cat gets close to opponents, it will send flames falling down on them, dealing at most 1 instance of Pyro DMG to each opponent. When the duration ends, he will dismiss the Grin-Malkin Cat and ignite fireworks that deal AoE Pyro DMG, summon 1 Grin-Malkin Hat, and grant himself 1 Prop Surplus stack.
• Grin-Malkin Cat can be actively canceled.

Passive Talents

Perilous Performance

• If Lyney consumes HP when firing off a Prop Arrow, the Grin-Malkin hat summoned by the arrow will, upon hitting an opponent, restore 3 Energy to Lyney and increase DMG dealt by 80% of his ATK.

Conclusive Ovation

• The DMG Lyney deals to opponents affected by Pyro will receive the following buffs:
  • Increases the DMG dealt by 60%.
  • Each Pyro party member other than Lyney will cause the DMG dealt to increase by an additional 20%.
• Lyney can deal up to 100% increased DMG to opponents affected by Pyro in this way.
