What Kind Of Character Is Lyney?
A Charged Attack Pyro DPS
![What Kind](https://img.gamewith.net/assets/images/common/transparent1px.png)
Lyney is a Pyro DPS that deals DMG mainly Charged Attack. He can deal powerful DMG with charged attack and summons a cat figure that will deal damage to enemy and taunt them while stacking "Props" that will boost his Elemental Skill DMG. He can also deal damage with Elemental Skill and Burst if it is active.
Strengths & Weakness Of Lyney
Strengths |
---|
- Great Pyro infliction and damage. - Does not require reactions like Vaporize to deal powerful damage. - Has self-healing and amazing taunt that deals additional damage. |
Weakness |
- Expensive to build since he uses all of his skills to deal damage. - To maximize his passive, you need to use 2 Pyro Characters in the team limiting the team comps you can use. - Can be difficult to use since he requires a pretty strict rotation and using Charged Attacks. |
