A newGenshin Impactleak has revealed more information about twoupcoming playable characters named Lyney and Lynette. This sibling duo has been mentioned in numerous rumors since the game’s official release, and it seems like their release is just around the corner. Both of these characters will be tied to the next major region which is expected to be Fontaine. According to the leak, Lyney will be a five-star Pyro character who will use a bow which will make him the second character to have this weapon and element combination after Yoimiya. Similar to Inazuma’s fan-favorite five-star, Lyney will also fill the main DPS role. When it comes to his overall damage output, his multipliers are rumored to be slightly weaker than Ganyu’s but stronger than Tighnari’s, who is a decent Dendro DPS.
His multipliers are rumored to be lower than Ganyu’s but higher than Tighnari’s. The leak also revealed that Lyney’s sixth constellation level has a significant impact on his playstyle. His sister Lynette, who also made an appearance in one of the previous story teasers is rumored to bea new Anemo characterwhose primary role will apparently be support.
Lynette’s Elemental Skill will summon an Anemo spirit that stays on the field for 10 seconds even if she gets swapped out. The spirit will deal additional elemental damage if a character performs a Charged Attack. This means that she could have great synergy with characters that use this type of attack likethe Cryo bow user Ganyu.
These leaks should still be taken with a grain of salt since the releases of both characters are still many months away. Going by HoYoverse’s usual update schedule, players can expectGenshin Impact’s new major regionto arrive in the second half of August.
