The Pyro character is beloved by the people of Fontaine. Image via miHoYo<\/figcaption><\/figure>

The reason Lyney lacks versatility is because of his “Conclusive Ovation” ability, which allows Lyney to deal increased damage against enemies affected by Pyro. On his own, this ability grants a 60 percent increase, but this number can be raised up to 100 percent if he has two more Pyro allies since each Pyro character on his team adds 20 percent to this buff for up to the maximum of 100 percent.<\/p>

Because of this ability, to maximize Lyney’s potential, you’ll want him on a team with mostly Pyro characters, which makes him not very versatile since he is restricted to only very specific team lineups. Generally, his ideal lineup will include two other Pyro units to maximize this buff plus one character who wields power over another element. Some kind of Anemo support unit will work best in this role, so a powerful lineup for Lyney could be him, Lynette, Bennett, and Xiangling. <\/p>

Unlike many other recruits, Lyney is not a character who is focused on dealing damage through elemental reactions, so if you prefer a team based around these, then you’ll want to skip Lyney’s banner. I enjoy building my teams around elemental reactions, so Lyney’s playstyle doesn’t appeal to me even though I think he has some of the most stunning animations in all of Teyvat. <\/p>
