Genshin Impact 5★ Pyro Bow Main DPS
The Daybreak Chronicles is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Lyney's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage, Royal Bow and The First Great Magic come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Lyney, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Crimson Witch of Flames on Lyney, with A Day Carved From Rising Winds and Disenchantment in Deep Shadow behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, Pyro DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Energy Recharge.
Talent priority is Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Lyney, Xiangling, Kaedehara Kazuha and Bennett, built around Lyney: Pyro · Mono Pyro.

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.

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.
"Everyone knows that magicians will intentionally misdirect the audience... Ah, yes, while you were looking my way, the hat and assistant over there have both disappeared... Fascinating, is it not?"

Unleashing his magic, Lyney turns himself into a Grin-Malkin Cat that can move around quickly. (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.
"Watch closely now. This is a time for miracles, and it belongs to just the two of us!"

Lyney's outfit. Cats only stretch in front of those they trust completely. Otherwise, they merely hide their claws behind a smile — intimate yet reserved, just like the sweet words of this magician.

Lyney is a 5-star Pyro character from Fontaine who uses a bow, released in version 4.0.
Lyney's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
The Daybreak Chronicles is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star bow with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Royal Bow is the best 4-star alternative.
Crimson Witch of Flames. Its 2-piece bonus is: Pyro DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: Increases Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using Elemental Skill increases the 2-Piece Set Bonus by 50% of its starting value for 10s. Max 3 stacks.
