Lyney, a Pyro bow user, was the first five-star character released from Fontaine,Genshin Impact’sfifth region. A stage magician and natural performer, much of Lyney’s kit revolves around magic tricks and classic circus imagery. He joins his sister, Lynette, in being not only the first characters to be playable from Fontaine, but as the representatives of Fontaine’s preview back in 2020.
