Description Gameplay Notes Advanced Properties Attribute Scaling Preview Normal Attack Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow. Plunging Attack Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact. 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. Arkhe: Pneuma At certain intervals, the Prop Arrow will cause a Spiritbreath Thorn to descend upon its hit location, dealing Pneuma-aligned Pyro DMG. Creating a Grin-Malkin Hat while another one already exists on the field will destroy it cause it to fire a Pyrotechnic Strike immediately. Pyrotechnic Strike DMG will snapshot Lyney's stats upon the Grin-Malkin Hat's creation and will not be affected by changes in his stats that occur afterwards. Passive Effects Passive Talent 1, 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." Constellation Effects Constellation Level 1, Whimsical Wonders: "Lyney can have 2 Grin-Malkin Hats present at once. Additionally, Prop Arrows will summon 2 Grin-Malkin Hats and grant Lyney 1 extra stack of Prop Surplus. This effect can occur once every 15s." Constellation Level 3, Prestidigitation: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15. Constellation Level 4, Well-Versed, Well-Rehearsed: "After an opponent is hit by Lyney's Pyro Charged Attack, this opponent's Pyro RES will be decreased by 20% for 6s." Constellation Level 6, Guarded Smile: "When Lyney fires a Prop Arrow, he will fire a Pyrotechnic Strike: Reprised that will deal 80% of a Pyrotechnic Strike's DMG. This DMG is considered Charged Attack DMG."

Description Gameplay Notes Advanced Properties Attribute Scaling Preview 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. When this skill hits at least one enemy, it generates 5 Elemental Particles.

(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. While in the Grin-Malkin Cat state, Lyney gains a 50% DMG Reduction. Players cannot switch to a different character while in the Grin-Malkin Cat state.

Character Description

When Lyney performs an Aimed Shot, he can fire off a Prop Arrow at Charge Level 2 and consume HP to obtain Prop Surplus stacks. When a Prop Arrow hits, it will summon a Grin-Malkin Hat that can taunt nearby enemies and deal DMG when it leaves the field.
Lyney's Elemental Skill consumes Prop Surplus stacks to deal AoE Pyro DMG according to the number of stacks cleared and regenerate Lyney's HP. If a Grin-Malkin Hat is on the field when his Elemental Skill is cast, the Grin-Malkin Hat will explode.
After casting his Elemental Burst, Lyney will turn into a Grin-Malkin Cat and move around the battlefield, dealing DMG to opponents nearby. When the duration ends, Lyney will summon a Grin-Malkin Hat.
