Editor Sam got this video out in less than a day please leave him nice comments YEP

In this house we appreciate the quick work of editors

THANK YOU editors for working so hard to make these videos high quality at a very fast pace

"Lyney is a very squishy character." I knew that going in but it feels like he's made of wet tissue paper. He hits like a freight train though, so balanced enough I guess.

Lyney's E feels so good, just going kaboom

I didn't plan to pull lyney at all. Did the archon quest + story quest and absolutely fell in love with him and decided to go for him. He's definitely a strong character and a very satisfying one to play. Ps: shout out to the editor for the great job 👍

Random but interesting fact: Lyney and Freminet right now are the only characters that can reach talent level 14 with the help of their constellations that increase normal attack level and Childe's exploration passive giving every character in the party +1 level to their normal attack talent. Edit: For the Love of God, yes, Freminet is still not out, but this still doesn't change anything bruh, chill out y'all

Props to you editor Sam for being absolutely insane and getting this out in just a day

lyneys character is so well done imo, very happy hes a pretty good option to pull

As someone who saved all my wishes for him and his weapon, I'm very happy with his design and gameplay

i never had Ganyu, and having Lyney now makes me understand (sorta kinda) the feeling players first had when they experienced Ganyu's OP charge shot - OVERWORLD ENEMIES JUST DIED LIKE THAT IM LIKE HUH

It feels like they've stopped increasing enemy HP (other than those overworld omega hydro slimes) and started giving them ludicrous damage instead. My usual teams had no trouble clearing floor 12 in time, but only when they didn't get one-shot by attacks I couldn't even see. Odd time to release a fragile charge-shot character for a team that normally has no shielder.

There's a lot of meta shifts that would be crazy, but the part about bad artifacts making you tankier reminds me of one of my favorite things to imagine: What if there were no timers, and we merely wanted to do high dps in order to eliminate threats? Essentially, it'd turn into another form of dps-race, the kind where your own effective hp becomes part of the equation, and dodging skills/target prioritization/mechanics to subdue enemies etc. let you prioritize it less. Basically... Remember fighting the wolf as an AR20? That. (Of course, Zhongli cheese etc. would have to be accounted for while then also remaining top-tier) We can still get some foes with hp regen etc. that effectively make us wanna reach certain sustained or burst dps thresholds, and ideally there would be ways to mitigate that as a way around a chunk of that threshold requirement. A cool idea is one that requires sustained dps cause no reasonable burst dps gets through it all, but then the regen could be somehow disabled, at which point burst dps can get through before it comes back. As for scoring... Idk man, I don't really need to get a score for beating a boss in Dark Souls either, it's intrinsicaly rewarding to do well. And what does do well mean? Well, I love taking down a boss without getting hit. I love having a busted weapon that makes that easy, I love seeing how much I can abuse tanking or safe attacking tactics to make an eventual win easy, and I especially love trying to see what merits unconventional approaches may have, it's just whatever I feel like. I'd prioritize that organic feel over fascilitating a scoring system myself, and hey, less excessive anxiety! They just gotta make sure there is a lot of room for making it tough, I'm usually not in favor of setting difficulty, but it seems like an easy option here. Even with that, I bet less players would be stressed out if a careful approach was so viable.

I like Lyney a lot. • Sustained damage • Frontloaded damage • Fun and dynamic gameplay • Insane single-target damage against bosses • Amazing for exploration

Thank you for posting this (and thank you Editor Sam!!) I got him and have been pretty pleased, but still working out ideal teams based on who I also have, so this has been helpful! : )

I really enjoy how Lyney's kit is simple and powerful, but his gameplay still feels stimulating and isn't entirely braindead button mashing

Thank you Editor Sam for bringing this out so speedy😊

sam youre so fast thank you so much for this banger once again

Great video as always zajef, and holy sht the editor did a imposible job, that was fast af, thanks.

Thank you and Editor Sam!

I am starting to believe Gorou is better than Sucrose for Lyney. He has some form of resistance to interruption. He can buff pyro damage with Petra and he buffs Lyney's defense to make him less squishy (and the fact that he gives flat defense is even better, since Lyney has garbage base)

I would have appreciated a very scuffed video but editors pulled through. My appreciation and gratitude to Mr. Zajeff and his team you are all amazing

Lyney is awesome! I really like his design and animations. Hight damage is also wonderful.

Et voilat. That's why I went for him and not regretting hit. Good job zajef and the editors. Can't wait for the new characters!

He looks awesome, sadly i want to get like 4-5 other fontaine characters before him :( Rerun it is!!

This is the 1st time I see this type of content, a reaction of a past assessment, is jarring

I was not planning to pull for him but i’m so glad i did. He is my first pyro 5 star lmao. I stole ganyu’s artifacts (4pc Wanderers) and gave it to him. He does well over 25k by himself in a mono-pyro team. I love him muchly :)

thanks Sam, great job

Thank you Editor Sam!

I pulled lyney c2 r1 and I really love him. He’s the first charged attack/shot user I enjoy playing and his damage is pretty great.

As someone who pulled for Lyney based on your pre-release, I really appreciate this update. I thought I had built Lyney wrong or my timing was off, so I'm glad to have some of my issues be addressed.

great work editor sam!

Thank you Sam

I just got him yesterday after a few weeks of debate. I love his cat, and I wanted to see if I could get good at charged shot gameplay (mobile player) but with a more interesting kit than ganyu’s. He seems fun, and I like his character so overall I’m happy with him :)

Already got my Lyney and he works really well for me with Desert Pavilion artifacts

i managed to full star the secong half with liney not yet maxxed out, for me the only thing lacking for him to be great is a support that complements his kit. Wanderer for once have way more options for team building. Kazuha and Bennet are a must but I feel like a definitive last slot is yet to come, maybe Arleccino?

lyney,Kazuha,Bennett,Zhongli is more then enough for this abyss

im easy to please. if the characer looks cool/has a dramatic flair to them or their kit, i automatically love them

I was waiting for this, not because I want Lyney (saving for Venti), but because I enjoy your content a lot lol. Great video, I hope all Lyney-wanters become Lyney-havers!

Hey Zajef, I recently saw someone’s video of a Lyney solo on the bottom half of the new abussy and I learned that if you literally have Lyney/ranged character attack from the very edge of the arena, none of Coppelia or Coppelius’s attacks will target or hit your character. They cleared very comfortably

Thank you Editor Sam

I am really enjoying lyney so far! I actually managed to clear this new abyss pretty comfortably with lyney/kazuha/zhongli/bennett w my lyney being lvl 69 w talents at 4/1/4 💀 I am surprised at how stong he feels

Love the little TV, w from Editor Sam

I love editing on zajeff77 videos

I use Lavawalker on Lyney because I had an excellent set from all the crimson witch farming i did a long time ago (my lavawalker is far better then my crimson). I am farming the new NA/Charge set but since I also want it for upcoming characters, I will be saving the good ones for them since my Lavawalker set is very good on him so far.

thanks editor sam

thank you Sam ♥️

Thanks sam. love you

thank you editor sam

Editor Sam you're the goat!

My Lyney gets his burst back every rotation so I can just use his burst + E after a couple of charge shots. Makes the down time on Deyha's stagger resistance not really matter and the team feels really good to play. Basically feels like I get a mini nuke every rotation

Imagine not starting a chamber with two Lyney charge shots to build stacks, couldn't be me

Got Lyney with only 20 pulls which I didn't initially want to pull for him but I yolo pull when I don't have pity. He's fun to play and it's been a while since I main a bow character (I have Ganyu) and it's actually good that I got him since I still didn't have a dedicated Pyro main dps (*cough c2 Diluc *cough). I'm still unlucky farming a full set of Hunter for him so I'm using Wanderer set for the meantime but his damage is so good. Also I'm enjoying exploring Fontaine with him and Lynette it's fun and easier.

thank you editor Sam

Thank you editor Sam we love you

Nice work editor sam

4:43 "You're still playing a Xiangling team" That is the most Zajef thing Zajef has ever said

pog editor for doing this so fast

Setting sail, coming home, I see you a man of culture as well

thank you Sam

I pulled him because I kind of like the charge attack bow user playstyle, but after playing burning melt ganyu for a while now, I really am tired of using dehya lol, his explanation of why she’s just ok with Leney definitely applies to ganyu as well

Take my energy, Editor Sam!

Did I miss the current weapon banner review? Was hoping to hear if it’s worth it for Aqua in this situation (for Yelan)

3:26 Nemesis of Copium is such a badass and hilarious boss name

Editor deservers a raise for this one mans a freaking MVP how fast he got it out

Lyney's been one of my favorite characters to play lately, his kit feels very fluid and complete, like everything has a place and nothing feels tagged on for the sake of it. I run him with C4 tankfei, kazuha, and obv bennett, and i havent had THIS much fun playing the game since I got my C1 Kazuha on his first banner back in 1.6. He's a bow hypercarry, but he isnt as monotonous and boring as Ganyu, or as frustrating and clunky as Yoimiya. Genuinely a fantastic character and one of the few I pulled their signature weapon for. also shout out Editor Sam for doing the lords work

Editors legendary! Well done Sam. King shit

I’m not sure if it’s me newly adding zhongli as flex for hyper, getting a good grip on national or if it’s the new abyss, it feels easier to clear 12-3 this time

It's so satisfying to Q E and see the big red numbers on your screen with half the enemies hp gone plus his animations are pretty (that cool af card NA animation is such a waste though)

damn the editors doing gods work

Just crowned Lyney's NA and immediately tried to get highest dmg on Scara boss and mf did 400k on 1 charged atk( 160k+240k) Also did 36* abyss on 1st try without using Zhongli or Xiangling. Lyney Bennet Kazuha Yanfei on one side and Alhaitham QuickBloom on other

Oh yeah, speaking of the new Abyss, it's nice that this abyss doesn't feel pneuma/ousia reliant right now. Sure, it's only the first Fontaine abyss, but hey, we take those

For the Dehya segment and something I never really paid attention to from all of his gameplay over the years till he was focusing on charge shots only in this vid - not sure if it's mostly just him showcasing so not aiming for speedrun times/rotations or anything but I believe doing Left click wait for charge shot into R charge shot start is ever so slightly faster than just doing whichever method he's doing. Don't have a raw number but as a random guesstimate let's just say the normal method of going into the next shot while dropping it is .5s while the one I'm mentioning is .25 Left click CA > drop > repeat or R charge shot > drop > repeat miniscule 0.X seconds saved but hey maybe the 2 extra shots out of the 4 can be slightly faster to weave in when you do Left click to R CA over 4 LC/4 R CA

GOOD JOB SAM!!!!✨

i actually also noticed the dmg difference between 2pc 2pc and maree chausee on lyney its very noticeable yeah it gives a lot of stats but i get 76% percent crit rate from substats alone w a crit dmg bow and my artifacts come from the godly gladiator pieces u get while farming bosses and stuff. i still think u should farm maree chausee but if u have a godly 2pc 2pc i think u should use it

I'd made up my mind and pulled Lyney less two hours before this video came out, haha. Not that it would have changed my mind. How can I stay strong when offered the option to play not one, but two kids who throw evil explosive cats around? Big thanks to the editors for bringing this video to us on time, I'm sure it helped many people with more sensible reasons to pull. :D

I tried to pull Aqua for my Yelan and ended up getting Lyney's signature. Since nobody really uses that weapon, ended up using my guaranteed to get Lyney. Hope I can have fun with him whenever it is that I end up building him since the queue to fix my clusterfuck of characters is so high, I might be using him next year.

Hia, could you update the channel's playlists? I'd help with navigating ur videos!

im personally running lyney with 4pc marechaussee and his sig along with 4pc archaic zhongli, 4pc tenacity dehya and 4pc noblesse bennett gonna swap out either dehya or zhongli for kazuha once i have him:) im still testing out rotations but so far 1-2 charged attacks, bennett burst, dehya skill, 2 more charged attacks, burst, and then skill has worked pretty decently for me

Hooray for fast editors!

For Flr 12, I used Lyney, Benny, Yanfei (with TTDS and shield) and Kazuha :) it was good

I hope arrlecchino synergize well with Lyney team but then seeing what they did with Lynette I’m being too hopeful

Do you think there's ever a time to pull Albedo? Or should we just wait until they re-release Cinnabar Spindle (Hopefully)

Should I swap xiangling for c1 support Yoimiya and go for 15 sec rotation?

What about swapping Xiangling out for Thoma or Xinyan so you have a shield? I don't have Lyney, but I use Xinyan on my Wanderer team to kill 3 birds with 1 stone

I 36* abyss an hour ago on my potato phone I got him because I loved him (I already have every pyro character except dehya so I didn't need him) I used him but I don't like using zhongli he feels way to slow so probably never use him again in abyss but other than that it was fun his burst dmg was satisfying

On your first rotation you could hold zhongli e, then Bennett, then zhongli burst for the Petra activation

Thank you editors for your quick work! ❤

Am i okay playing with bennett zhongli Kazuha then? Specially since I have r1 but no Dehya?

I started grinding for a full week and i got Tighnari so this is another character to add to the pile of "I hope they're in the next patch"

His C1 is very good if your using sac bow on him- and this is actually a pretty solid weapon on him. It has a high base attack,gives slight er to fulfill his needs,it generates extra energy for xiangling,and you get double the skill damage.

Bennet E, kazuha Q, Bennet Q, Dehya E, Lyney charged attack spam into Q. Works perfectly for me and isn't complicated. Only 12 seconds of down time before the super armor comes back.

i wasnt interested in lyney at all so skipped on my main account, but i just did a few pulls on my alt and got him, and i actually like him a lot, im using yoimiya's signature and works pretty well, ofc its a benny xl kaz team, but he adds his decent share of damage. cleared f12 side 2 on first try i believe, so content with his performance. and on top of that turning yourself into a huge cat and walk all over is fun af.

Sam my brother ou did this video justice. Cheers to tour hardwork my bey

I find that swapping out Kazuha for Lynette works quite well. Her burst taunting is a decent defensive support and she can still use VV. Its not much of a damage loss vs boss's but you will miss how well Kazuha groups enemies.

W editor fr

thank you editor sam (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

Running lyney without zhongli just feels so bad (personal skill issue) but with him he just effortlessly destroys everything

You can cheese Icewind Suit boss with lyney/other CA characters if you stand in the corner of the arena. They will spam an attack where the robot lady will circle around but her attacks will never hit you, so you can proc VV/get particles on her and at the same time you can shoot the dude in the middle. Not the fastest way, but the safest

Big thanks to Sam with the editing. Really digging the Pre-Release channel on a vintage CRT TV. It's nice to see how a rotation with Dehya is done while maximizing buff uptime for Dehya enjoyers. Zajef showing how teams work with units that aren't the most optimal is something that I've always appreciated in his videos. 16:22 Shoutouts to Suske
