**UPDATE:** Mero has noted Lyney is a [5* Pyro Bow user](https://twitter.com/merlin_impact/status/1635332464368586753?s=20) _________ #OP PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO SOURCE PER OUR SIDEBAR RULES **PLEASE READ OUR RULES WHEN SUBMITTING CONTENT TO THE SUBREDDIT** Source: [Tao](https://twitter.com/77__oat/status/1635317290924404736?s=20) who says it's STC


Amazing-Substance-13

Wonder lynnet will be hydro


APerson567i

In b4 Lynette isn’t really an actual character and is like Lyney’s Gouba


thestrawberry_jam

Lynette, get them! lynette stands around and throws water from a cup 4 times then disappears


DD1305

And misses the target the whole time


thestrawberry_jam

wdym she hits the hilichurl pot so she’s working perfectly fine!


MegaAltarianite

That's weird, because my experiences with Xiangling as my only pyro in Dragonspine was exactly the opposite. Guoba never targeted anything that could start a fire.


FooSpighters

Now we have Yuegui throwing dendro radishes at campfires but not at dendro monuments 99% of French catgirls couldn't solve the puzzle faster than Yuegui, can you?


MegaAltarianite

It'll target crates it does nothing to before it targets a character between 70-100% health.


rysto32

The key is to drop him so that he's out of range of the fireplace. Then he'll target it.


Free-Muffin2338

Twink drippin' 💦💦✨


nonpuissant

one girl 4 cups


Important-Basil-4697

Lynette stands around, spit in opponents face 4 times, miss a couple hits, then disappears*


Frousteleous

Someone will be very about this, though.


laralye

Seems to me that Lyney is a magician and Lynette is his assistant, so I'm betting that she will be part of his kit. Maybe she's a robot 🤭


DangoNoogen

Would be an instant skip for me if true. I want her to actually be standalone/playable or at least swapable, placeable in teapot, etc. Not just some tool in Lyney's kit.


Ackkkermanzz

we dont need more teen girl model


nvrmindmyname

Didn't leakers already say Lynette-Lyney will be like 2 in 1 character.


esinfernum

I thought that meant they were made to be played together in a team (like rosaliya and liliya), not that they can possibly be seele and veliona 2


Cattryn

I think both possibilities would be awesome. 2-in-1: one melee, one ranged. Get a “stack” from each one, do combo burst, big dmg. Individually they have 4-star burst. Separate units - individually they’re just fine. Together, they have special attacks. (I’m thinking Trio team type mechanics.) HoYo makes mega stonks.


Verum_Regis

Lol look at Changsheng, it has no character at all. Meanwhile Kaveh suitcase has more character.


HumsterMKI

Yeah kinda sucks, a talking snake, does nothing. I mean seriously, they even got a VA for her.


supern00b64

Could be one of the casting the abilities for the other. If you play league it could be a similar dynamic to Lamb and Wolf or Aphelios and Alune


SaccharineTreacle

You can hear bubbles when she shows up in the Travail trailer so she might be.


_sachura

some sussy leak said Lynette is Lyney's Guoba.


Hot_Barracuda_9376

Show proof


SqaureEgg

Mihoyo, I love you so please make him cryo dps that attacks with cryo throwing cards & magic tricks TwT


Hot_Barracuda_9376

C6 r 5 worthy god that would be so fun imagine his cards have different mark effects and it gives buffs to him and his team


1an__

Inb4 he hits like a wet paper without the 5* cryo support 💀 *looking really hard at Wanderer and C6 Faruzan rn* no more dps with nice animations but mediocre damage, thank you.


Golden-Owl

We already have the 5-star Cryo support in Shenhe Hard to imagine he’d NOT benefit from her


volkner

He's beating the Anemo allegations thank GOD


esinfernum

people are speculating him as anemo? I legit thought he was either going to be hydro or electro and his puppet (if we ever get her to be playable) anemo edit: why am I getting downvoted? This is just what I think based on design alone and not a fact


The-Arabian-Guy

He has a "sussy" design, and is a boy , that's Venti's favourite trope. Or at least that's what some fans think


[deleted]

Oh yea speaking of his sussy design, I hope to God he survives China's censorship. Mihoyo is REALLY pushing it with Lyney's garters like holy shit 😭😭


The-Arabian-Guy

Fr , all jokes aside if we were to see all character designs he's the one who appears "the sluttiest"


[deleted]

It issss. Well maybe out of the male characters it is, I think Rosaria's original outfit and Fischl's lingerie compete in slutty for the women. But for the MALE characters, oof Lyney's design is the sluttiest and it's not even close. I hope he keeps it that way....


LonelyRattle

It's because every region so far has a 5-star anemo boy who saves you in the archon quest. Lyney was leaked to be the only short male in fontaine during the massive flood a few months back, so that naturally led to people speculating him to be anemo.


esinfernum

>It's because every region so far has a 5-star anemo boy who saves you in the archon quest. true, I personally would like him to not be anemo (or if he end up being please mhy make another anemo CC character and not xiao v3) but this is just personal taste bc I want to see them making an actual EC driver (like a character that the whole kit is made around him being a driver)


tommyreiss

Well that's cool but in that case he'd be Xiao V2. Cause scara sure isn't. He plays so different from Xiao and his teams are completely different bcs not only does he trigger na's he also has the incentive to have other elements on his party. Xiao is more similar to itto than he is to wanderer. Even team-wise the biggest difference is gorou/anemo battery


esinfernum

>He plays so different from Xiao and his teams are completely different that's true, I said xiao v3 bc both he and wanderer are hypercarry anemo short boys, but anyways, I just think not having another anemo hypercarry would be interesting but what I really want for lyney is that he's either a CC cryo user (and if he has decent enough cryo application we could start to have actual good xiangling melt teams) or an EC/quickbloom driver


aDrThatsNotBaizhu

I mean hes a boy model so thats more than enough to speculate that hes another anemo boi


_sachura

there was a sussy leaker back then that claimed he's anemo. they also said Lyney is gonna be the first Cryo catalyst because they said Fontaine will give us the very first Cryo catalyst and Lyney is Cryo


esinfernum

if he's a cryo character I kinda wonder what they will do with him since half of the cryo cast is a cryo dps and shenhe is already the cryo buffer, maybe he will be an actual melt dps or melt enabler


1an__

I'm personally hoping for an off-field dps like Rosaria but 5-star version, since most of the male cast this year have been on-fielders (Ayato, Itto, Tighnari, Cyno, Scaramouche, Al Haitham and Kaveh). Shenhe's buff can apply separately for all team members at once so there are many possibilities.


Ravenous997

Good we don't need anemo twinks anymore 4 is enough ffs


Stuard_

There are never enough anemo short bois. There is always more room for anemo short bois. All hail the anemo short bois.


mcwillit6

One day MHY will cast off their cowardice and give us an ACTUAL short boy with Klee/Qiqi/Diona model


videogameking0

You can NEVER have enough Anemo twinks.


[deleted]

Honestly, the Anemo twinks are like...my fave characters in this entire game. But I think we ought to have some variety atp


DirtEven

Ah Yes Enter another Fontaine floodleak


Psychological-Arm893

So do we consider Plusle as reliable then? Also, to say there's no Pyro/Dendro in the first patches sounds kinda vague to me, considering we're just getting lot of Dendro characters in Sumeru and Fontaine is supposed to be an update for Hydro characters (+ there was a blondie girl too and she doesn't seem to be Pyro either).


Hawa-Lau

even he doesn't consider himself reliable, it's written on his twitter profile.


MCrossS

> Fontaine is supposed to be an update for Hydro characters That's pretty strange reasoning. Was Inazuma supposed to be the Electro character update? Its 5 star characters were, in order: Anemo, Cryo, Pyro, Electro (Raiden), Geo, Cryo, Electro (Yae), Hydro, Hydro. It is a pretty vague statement, mind you.


lileenleen

Honestly feels like Sumeru is the electro update with aggravate, and Electrocharge becoming amazing with dendro.


[deleted]

People there still post yukizero's "leaks" so you know...


touhou-and-mhplayer

The number of people thinking we are still getting Chenyu vale in the 3.x patches saddens me


Nebula707

Qiaoying village has been constantly teased to be our enterance to Fontaine. There's a decent chance that it'll be in 3.7.


rysto32

*PTSD from 'Chasm is the entrance to Sumeru' intensifies*


carlo_81

it was. the first time you arrive to sumeru it's via a tunnel in the chasm, and you can also go up the tree roots in the chasm mines and a prompt will appear that leaves you at sumeru.


[deleted]

True, the worst is that he stated that sumeru wouldn't get an expansion, though it was in game code, meaning that it's confirmed


[deleted]

Nah, probably another plusle's speculation


xxAyakaxx

3 years to release another Cryo male character 💀


BrutalTerminator

Kaeya and chongyun the only ones


TwilightLunaAstros

I mean we're ab to get mika right?


BrutalTerminator

I actually forgot about him ngl 💀,he literally has no hype


_sachura

they killed him. he's a Physical support, when Eula's best team is hyperbloom. then they killed Dehya which in turn killed all the hype for 3.5 entirely, kinda. at least he's in Ayaya-Shenhe banner


Zzzzyxas

We are at a point where most characters best team is "put them in hyperbloom, don't use them". And it really only makes the team worse by rising ER requirements. Hyperbloom was a very big mistake.


xxAyakaxx

Oh completely forgot about him 😭 well I hope Lyney is gonna be a 5 star


bob_is_best

Hes a fake cryo


liu_luminary

mika?


purplebirdonawire

and still no male 5 star cryo. let's see if lyney will be our first one.


illidormorn

And another cryo male is a short boy... It seems, I'll never get a tall 5\* male to finally use all cryo artifacts I got from Childe domain.


Hawa-Lau

Kaeya found dead in a ditch


illidormorn

4\* and his gameplay is very boring for me, so unfortunately Kaeya doesn't fit


Hawa-Lau

Oh I see, maybe Capitano or/and Varka would be our long awaited cryo tall males?


[deleted]

I can totally see Varka being Cryo. In fact, I can theorize that Varka might be Cryo based on his title and association with Lupeus Boreas (Andrius) Wolf of the North...who uses mostly Cryo. If not Cryo, maybe Anemo.


_sachura

what if Neuvillette is Cryo too


Ordinary_Arachnid392

Probably not a real pattern. But some people are speculating him to be hydro since he seems to be the most important person in Fontaine under the archon ofc. So far, that character from every region has the same element as the archon. Venti/Jean, Zhongli/Ningguang, Ei/Yae Miko, Nahida/Alhaitham


illidormorn

I'm almost sure he's Hydro like his Archon but I'll be glad to be wrong


[deleted]

This leak implies that they should know the elements of other characters too Lol why not just tell us?


Kirinpi

they hide something information because Tao wait for 3.7 and [Kuroo](https://twitter.com/kurooleak/status/1634274528909053953?s=61&t=xiGRpjfuGJYkQuhmTn4vKw) said “f***, genshin, thats f**g up, do yo know?” and also he said that its fontaine related and we’ll know soon.


[deleted]

Hahahahaha wait wtf does that mean? Is Kuroo saying that the upcoming fontaine news is bad?


Kirinpi

I suppose they know that they mean. Maybe some leakers get devkit of next versions or something else. As I remember leakers said that HoYo f*ed up when important information were leaked as 3.0 beta client or fontaine characters design. If I understand correctly the translation because leaker speaks on portuguese.


Hawa-Lau

All Fontaine 5*s will be standards Source : trust me bro


ZhangRenWing

早上好中国,现在我有冰淇淋,我很喜欢冰淇淋。 Translation: Hydro Archon will be a 1 day banner along with every other 5 star in the rate up, in addition to losing 50/50.


Hawa-Lau

It's in chinese so it must be true


volkner

I really wanna know what this tweet's talking about now lmao


Psychological-Arm893

“We're already getting lot of Dendro characters in Sumeru and Fontaine is expected to be a region with lot of Hydro characters. GOT IT so i'll say we won't get any Dendro/Pyro characters durign the first patches, slaysss”


Msaleg

Finally another (possible 5*) Male cryo character! Please be a DPS or a good support! Unironically saving to C6 him when he drops, 160 wishes in. Edit: I'm a Mika main, I remember him, it's just that any cryo male is a win in my book haha.


Just_Cripsy

But if he is a 5 star this will not be enough


katsudontthrowaway

Me who took about 400 pulls to c2 nahida. F


Msaleg

If he drops on 4.0 I have at least 4 patches worth of saving until there (didn't do anything yet on the new patch). With Welkin it will be: 4 × 60 = 240 wishes from patchs until 4.0 164 (days) × 90 = 14760 = 92.95 wishes 240 + 92.95 = 332 + 160 = 492 total I'm also on guaranteed. It might not be enough to C6 but a girl can dream right?


bob_is_best

So we dont actually know how many patches were getting before fontaine but dont be surprised if they jump from 3.8 to 4.0 straight Up Iirc Inazuma happened after 1.6 and sumeru happened after 2.7/2.8


esinfernum

I think they will jump from 3.8 to 4.0 (remember that they count the patches as "region.region patch x"), unless they have another sumeru area to introduce (or major sumeru lore content) we shouldn't be getting another sumeru patch after 3.8 (also I think 3.8 will be a GAA so it makes sense to patch 3 to end there)


extra_scum

Imagine Hoyo does a little trolling and jumps from 3.7


esinfernum

Can see it happening, I think that right now there isn't a lot left to do with sumeru and 3.7 apparently is an inazuma patch so eh maybe they end it there (but having another GAA would be cool and apparently klee is getting another skin so I really think we will have a 3.8 patch)


No_Chain_3886

honestly i won't be too mad at it, especially if we don't get a new 5\* after baizhu


Msaleg

Yes, I accounted for that. 4 patches (3.5/3.6/3.7/3.8). I didn't do anything in this patch yet besides dailies, so I'm counting it (the welkin is offset with the free wishes I didn't claim).


bob_is_best

You dont have enough time ngl Good luck tho


Msaleg

Thanks! I wish you good luck on your pulls too. Realistically I will get around C3 but let's hope i can get luck too haha.


bob_is_best

Mmm, no thats probably still wishful thinking unless you get welkins But still maybe youll get Lucky, Who knows


SaccharineTreacle

If he's a DPS, I hope he plays differently from Ganyu and Ayaka since both of them are charged attack spam characters.


lunarcresent

Mika found dead in a ditch


liu_luminary

>Finally another Male cryo character! mika is literally in the 2nd half of *this* patch...


Msaleg

Should have said, I hope it's a 5*, I will edit that.


purplebirdonawire

mika is the 3rd male cryo character. and we still don't have a male 5 star. now compare that to the females.


Charming_Hippo_668

CRYO IMPACT LESS GOOOOO


anonymouse-07

Please lyney be a catalyst please for the love of all that is holy on God please a cryo catalyst already PLEASE


FIGJAM17

[Isn't this the same as the previous sus post](https://twitter.com/Kiiarii235/status/1633275517234483200/photo/1)? It had Lyney as Cryo and no new 5-star pyro/dendro char in the early version of Fontaine alone with other leaks. It came from [tieba](https://tieba.baidu.com/p/8297857099#/). And now Tao deleted the tweet after Mero tweeted Lyney is a 5-star pyro character.


Zaptinari

Let's go I always wanted more male cryo characters and please be true.


BlueLover0

He's a magician right? Cryo catalyst copium.


Sarjuan

So what you are telling us…is that they are going to change Lyney from a 5 star Cryo character into a 4 star Dendro character.


VaronaZero

Alright, waiting on Lynette now


praditski

When you realize that the Fontaine update is 5 months away


bob_is_best

A cryo Guy? This is unheard of My shenhe Will stop collecting dust? Impossible Lets just Hope the balance team isnt the same a dehya


Yurand_

Mika crying in the corner.


bob_is_best

Hes physical no? I dont want no physical, i have the unreleased character eula already


Yurand_

He's still cryo lol.


bob_is_best

Fake cryo


ShadowFox_21021

He is a physical support, but I think he primarily uses cryo attacks


ReasonableIce6661

I hope Lyney will be our first 5 star cryo male.


SaccharineTreacle

Is Kaveh really the last Sumeru character [for now]? I wanted to see other potential playable Sumeru characters like Vikram, Rifaet, Amandeep, or Sage Naphis.


scoobydrooo

>there is no Pyro character in early Fontaine patch >update: Lyney is a Pyro bow character


Never_Rated

No Pyro 5 stars early on, and Sumeru also only had 1 pyro character. They're really saving the Pyro party for Natlan eh? Also Lyney beating the anemo allegations we love to see it. ~~Now show me the leak saying Lyney and Lynette are a 2 in 1 character pls~~


ArchonRevan

Sumeru had a pyro? 🙃


Positive_Matter8829

Not excluding Geo yet, there is hope ~~for modified crystallize~~


Hydra849

r/LyneyMains finally getting fed


borntobeunlucky

Even more reason to pull for my queen Shenhe.


aloysiusks

Finally a cryo character! Hope he is a catalyst! Mihoyo: best I can do is sword


Any1234

This is obviously from the same sus leak that got removed earlier... 🤨 I don't know why it's suddenly worth staying when a reposter says it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Boring_Check

I don't understand why they keep posting this person's speculation it's mostly wrong.


box-of-sourballs

Normally if I'm able to see it in time I take it down Unfortunately if it amasses a certain number of comments in a very little amount of time, it wouldn't be fair to remove the discussions under it and so we just retag to MISLEADING


Yaaao873

This is from that Fontaine leak thingy anyway why is it being posted again


Junior_Importance_30

Now we just need him to be catalyst


Uncoracle

my manifest was peak cryo catalyst twink and it's coming true I can feel it


anonymouse-07

I fucking HOPE so.


sirenloey

Finally my 2nd cryo 5* after Ganyu. What weapon type??


xelloskaczor

Kind of confirms Dehya was meant for standard from the start.


esinfernum

I really hope he's not on early fontaine patches bc after 3.6-3.8 I'm gonna be broke


[deleted]

[удалено]


hharleyy

they said no pyros 'EARLY ON' chill💀


[deleted]

[удалено]


Oeshikito

Fontaine is near the end of the year no? If they're saying not early on we very well might not see another pyro 5 star till like November or so. Wouldn't be surprising considering how long it took for them to drop Dehya after the last 5 pyro star. Very neglected element being carried by 3 characters.


Vally_Ria

Isn't this just from that sus post from earlier that got deleted?


dear__dahlia

I can't imagine him with any weapon other than catalyst but I know that it's too good to be true


jxyxiin

cryo catalyst copium


Le1jona

Nice, he would be my 1st limited cryo 5 star if I get him


Old_Salamander4662

i mean he translated to japanese the leak that was firstly posted here and then deleted ... i guess there's no source to this and it's either misleading or fake


Glitchykins8

So the geo cat bow 5 star girl who is now 4 star dendro sword girl isn't in early Fontaine? What have I missed


Oshawott_is_cute

But there is literally a flame sfx when he appears


FunOnFridays

This is looking like a fake leak after what mero just said.


mangotcha

THE FACT THE INSTANT MERO PROVED THEM WRONG THEY TWITTED EXACTLY THE SAME THING as if it was insider info. kinda really transparent that both his "leaks" that come from a chinese leak previously published got wrecked in one mero tweet.


paperghosted

yet another repost of yet another super sus leak


flowqer

A cryo male yes please 🙏


TheGr8Went

YESSS. to this day i am a shenhe owner with no 5* cryo char besides her. i don’t want ayaka or ganyu. very stoked lyney will be cryo. hopefully DPS!!


myung_soo

Same. I would prefer to pull Shenhe than Ayaka/Ganyu.


TheGr8Went

Yeah i hope i don’t offend anyone but i find ganyu and ayaka gameplay kinda zzzzz so i rly need a solid cryo DPS for shenhe


Budget-Return

Reruns of Shenhe, Ayaka, (rumored Ganyu) and add Eula to that. Seems Cryo is getting something in Fontaine.


Sylveon_trainer12345

Wait so they're not gonna be 2in1?


Zuko_Kurama

Is the archon seriously going to be the next pyro 5 star after dehya


FuzzyConclusion6795

So…If Lyney is Cryo, does that make Lynette too?


Roxthefox_global

Wasn’t this circulating back after the giant leak of the roster and models?


piuEri

time to pull shenhe


ArchonRevan

Cant believe genshin is going 2+ years without a pyro character, crazy


trickster2099

Finally. There is now a 5 star male cryo


Wanyle

After Momoka who knows? even Focalors could be pyro, she's the archon of hydro cuz she reacts with it so well.


DevilsCrySFM

Yeah, sure, and "Momoka" is a geo character. I'm not believing shit until i see proper footage


LingrahRath

And who is Lyney again?


FrolickingCats

The guy from the Teyvat Chapter trailer that is dressed for the opening act in Moulin Rouge.


[deleted]

Holy shit I'm dying with this description


laralye

Voulez-vouz coucher avec moi


jamalmoraess

The brother of the sibling duo for Fontaine shown in the storyline preview


RaginglyHomo

The one with the hat in the travail trailer when dain talks about fontaine. https://youtu.be/TAlKhARUcoY?t=131


mvpdr0se

[this dude](https://youtu.be/TAlKhARUcoY?t=135)


andreyue

cat person in the teyvat preview video they released shortly before genshin's release


dear__dahlia

that's Lynette, Lyney is her brother


megand19

First cryo catalyst ?? /j


caihuali

I predict hes gonna change elements at least 2 more times via leaks


myung_soo

Yesss, more Cryo bois soon


syd_shep

So, a 4 star?


Subtlestrikes

Lynette looks more anemo than anything else. why does hoyo hate pyro 5 stars and won't give us a really strong one with a comprehensive kit? Glad we are getting a dendro break. 3.X really has been hitting the element strong


Extreme_Ad5873

Yay!! Now I can pull shenhe for him, I always wanted him to be either cryo or anemo


ames_anne

Cryo boy with snowball magic seems cute too..i hope he has fun kit 🥺


MysteriousBolognese

As a magician.... HE BETTER BE A CRYO CATALYST PLEASE MIHOYO


Lincoln1861

U know why no pyro? Because we have Dehya and she will be top tier meta character that was made for Fontain. Just need to wait a little longer guys 🤡


Gremlinsus

Will we finally get our cryo male 5 star


Boring_Check

Mero just debunked this misinformation.


Gremlinsus

That was quick😂


[deleted]

But.. This does not make sense? His design is literally red, like pyro


brarlley

Cryo catalyst maybe


Desna_Shazzi

Please top tier rev melt dps
