Lyney has returned to the character banner in the Genshin Impact 4.6 update. The Fontaine's Great Magician is a popular 5-character and an excellent 5-star Pyro Bow DPS who relies on charged attacks as his main source of damage. Equipping the right weapon is essential when you want your DPS unit to deal consistent damage.

In Lyney's case, that would be his signature weapon called The First Great Magic. However, there are several other 5-star and 4-star options that he can use. This article will highlight a list of the best weapons you can equip on Lyney in Genshin Impact.

Most weapons on the roster are locked behind gacha. Thus, not everyone can own or have access to every weapon, especially the 5-star ones. In Lyney's case, he can utilize a wide array of bow weapons. He is a Pyro DPS unit whose attacks are based on his ATK and CRIT stats. Thus, the weapons that offer these will work best for him.

It is worth noting that he is one of the few characters who doesn't rely on reactions and prefers Mono-Pyro teams. Below is a brief about the best 5-star and 4-star weapons for Lyney in Genshin Impact.

As mentioned earlier, Lyney's signature bow, The First Great Magic, is his best-in-slot (Bis) option in the game. This 5-star bow provides CRIT DMG stats and a passive effect that is tailor-made to complement his abilities.

For those who don't have The First Great Magic, here are the best 5-star weapons for Lyney:

  • The First Great Magic: The best option for Lyney and complements his playstyle. It provides CRIT DMG, Charged Attack DMG%, and ATK% buffs
  • Aqua Simulacra: Generally regarded as the second-best option for Lyney in the game. You must fight close to enemies to trigger the DMG% passive.
  • Thundering Pulse: A strong 5-star option for Lyney that provides tons of CRIT DMG and ATK%.
  • Amos Bow: A 5-star weapon that can increase Lyney's charged attack DMG% based on arrow flight time.

Players who don't have access to the 5-star weapons listed above can also opt for 4-star alternatives. Here is a list of 4-star and F2P options for Lyney:

  • Prototype Crescent: One of the best F2P alternatives and can be potent if you trigger its passive.
  • Song of Stillness: A strong 4-star weapon that works well with Lyney teams that have healers. It has a lower damage ceiling than Prototype Crescent, but you don't have to aim for the enemy's weak point.
  • Blackcliff Warbow: A decent 4-star with CRIT DMG stats which works well against single-target enemies.

The first two weapons listed above are craftable weapons, while the Blackcliff Warbow can be obtained from Paimon's bargain shop with masterless stardust.
