I. Lyney's Best Role

Lyney is an excellent bow PDS character in Genshin Impact 4.0 with powerful charged attacks and elemental bursts. His Charged Attack will drain out his HP. Therefore, he should go with a healer like Bennett. Besides, Xiangling and Kazuha are two great members of Lyney's team.

His elemental burst will turn Lyney into a cat hiding inside his hat while dealing damage to surrounding enemies. Moreover, this Pyro DPS also has an AoE elemental skill to mark many opponents with Pyro auras to trigger Pyro resonance and other elemental reactions. The First Great Magic - the signature bow of Lyney is the best weapon for this role.

When unleashing his elemental skill, this Cryo character will enter a Chilling Penalty state and unleash more dangerous kicks. His elemental burst unleash an AoE Icicle Impact attack followed by a Surging Blade with Ousia energy.

III. Recommended Roles For Neuvillette

Like Wriothesley, Neuvillette is a reliable on-field DPS character scaling on max HP and the unique damage mechanism of the charged attack. He unleashes a Hydro ring dealing AoE Hydro DMG to enemies while consuming stamina.

Besides, he has Equitable Judgment charged attack dealing continual Hydro DMG to targets straight forwards without consuming stamina. But it drains his HP continually if the HP bar is over 50%.

Both the Elemental skill and burst of this character deal AoE Hydro DMG to the opponents in the range of attack. Therefore, he can play as a Hydro applicator to apply the Hydro element to a large enemy mob to trigger many powerful reactions, such as Bloom, Hyperbloom, Frozen, Vaporize, etc. This character can also support Pyro, Electro, Dendro, and Cryo DPS in your team.

These three Fontaine characters will come to the game in Genshin Impact updates 4.0 and 4.1. Just prepare Primogems to roll these DPS and sub-DPS characters if your team still has a vacancy for them.

Fontaine will come out on August 16th, 2023. This nation is recognized to be the fountainhead of Teyvat. Let's explore this nation from its history to the culture and people there in this article to understand more about this land before entering it.

#1. About Fontaine

Fontaine is one of seven nations in Teyvat ruled by the Hydro Archon Focalors. It's the fifth one to be released among them. Fontaine is also known as the nation of Justice. It's located in the center of Teyvat. People in this nation are also proud that their country is the cultural center of this continent, possessing the elegance and beauty of this world.

It's also the leading nation in technology and engineering. Advanced Mikage Furnace is an invention of Fontaine engineers. The Kamera you use to take photos also originated from this nation.

miHoYo also unveiled some details about the threat to the development of Fontaine when the Arkhe energy source is running out. It's the main energy for Clockwork Meka Robots invented by Fontaine engineers. It omits two elements, known as Ousia and Pneuma. When these two elements contact, they will react and create an Annihilation reaction.

Moreover, scientists in Fontaine are seeking an alternative source of energy for their machines and robots. Besides, Ousia and Pneuma omission also contaminated the environment and affected the health of people here.

#2. Culture And Art

The outstanding culture in Fontaine became the topic for many writers all over Teyvat, such as Mona and Xingqiu. Moreover, Rock 'n Roll, the favorite music of Xingyan, also originated from this nation.

But Fontaine also has slums inside underground sewer areas where the poor and homeless reside. They don't have the chance to enjoy the development of advanced technology in higher-class society above the ground. Not only advanced technologies and inventions of Fontaine spread to other nations in Teyvat, but its culture and art also became popular in this world.

#3. Fontaine Citizens

Moreover, you will encounter many artificial intelligence creatures on the streets of Fontaine cities. Unlike Aranara in Sumeru, these creatures do not hide themselves in jungles. They also reside in big cities. You also meet Melusine, an adorable creature in Fontaine.

Melusine is a unique creature with a special vision that lets them detect hidden things that human eyes cannot see. Moreover, they are very responsible. That's why they can join the special detective force called Marechaussee Phantom under the management of Neuvillette.

Sigewinne, an upcoming playable character in the drip marketing video of Fontaine is also a Melusine. She is a nurse cooperating with Wriothesley. Hydro Archon Focalors, also Furina, is also loved but not trusted by people in Fontaine, at least, they don't trust her justice.

More stories and content about Fontaine will be unveiled when this nation is introduced a few days later.

Marechaussee Hunter is an upcoming artifact set in Fontaine. It's expected to buff new characters from this nation, such as Lyney, and some old-but-gold 5-star DPS units in the game. Let's check out the top 5 optimal wielders for it here.

#1. Lyney

Lyney is the new character in Genshin Impact 4.0. This new artifact set seems to be the best gear for him in Update 4.0.

• When using a 2-piece set, use his Charge Attacks more frequently to optimize Marechaussee Hunter's buffs.
• A 4-piece set of Marechaussee Hunter buffs the Crit Rate for his burst when Lyney's HP increases or drops.

It's the best artifact for Lyney now. It's better to use 4 pieces of this artifact set for him and bring a healer, such as Baizhu and Kokomi to recover his HP before unleashing his elemental burst.

#2. Xiao

Xiao is old but gold. This Anemo DPS can play the role of a main on-field DPS with powerful plunge attacks during his elemental burst. Therefore, a Crit Rate buff from a full set of 4 Marechaussee Hunter pieces is ideal for him.

When you equip 2 pieces of this artifact for him, start with his Normal and Charged Attacks before unleashing the Plunge Attack combo to optimize its effect.

#3. Hu Tao

Hu Tao is the best on-field DPS and one of the best users for a full set of 4 Marechaussee Hunter pieces. This set will buff her elemental burst greatly as her burst will deplete the HP of this character that meets the requirement to trigger the Crit Rate buff of this artifact. However, this effect only last 5 seconds.

Alternatively, you can use 2 pieces of this set with 2 pieces of Crimson Witch of Flames artifact. This new gear can be an ideal artifact for this Pyro DPS.

#4. Kamisato Ayato

Ayato also plays as the main on-field DPS in Genshin Impact's Hydro teams. He can benefit from a DMG bonus from Marechaussee Hunter. He must take damage to trigger the Crit Rate buff of this artifact set.

As an on-field DPS, this requirement can be easily fulfilled. A 2-piece Marechaussee Hunter set is also an ideal option for Ayato as his Normal Attack is the main source of his damage.

#5. Yoimiya

Like Lyney, Yoimiya is also a 5-star Pydro bow wielder. Her damage output also comes from her Charged Attack and Elemental Burst. But she also needs to take damage to trigger the Crit Rate bonus. Therefore, Yoimiya should stay on the field for a while before unleashing her elemental burst.

These characters can benefit from damage buffs of this artifact set well. Just prepare a strong team to farm these artifact pieces for them when update 4.0 is released.

Both experienced and new players might find it a bit unclear how to unlock Fontaine in Genshin Impact 4.0. The upcoming update will introduce players to the Nation of Hydro, also known as the Nation of Justice. It's led by the Hydro Archon Focalors and is the 5th major region in Teyvat that players will explore. In Fontaine, the main focus will be on advancing the Traveler's story as they search for their lost sibling, along with introducing new gameplay mechanics.

The biggest addition in Genshin Impact 4.0 is the ability to explore underwater. Players will be able to navigate through underwater areas with their characters. These watery sections will be similar to the regular map but with unique exploration features, puzzles, and enemies.

Another new combat mechanic in Version 4.0 involves using energies called Pneuma and Ousia. But before players can experience these new elements, they need to access Fontaine.

How to unlock Fontaine as a new player

Fontaine is the fifth major region released after Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru. The good news for new players is that they don't need to catch up on the entire story to explore Fontaine.

During the version 4.0 livestream on Genshin Impact's official Twitch channel, the developer announced that new players only need to finish the Mondstadt story arc to access Fontaine.

After completing the Archon Quest Prologue: Act III "Song of the Dragon and Freedom," players will unlock a Teleport Waypoint on the border of Sumeru, which is adjacent to Fontaine. This quest involves Venti and La Signora. By using this Waypoint and moving east, players can reach Fontaine in Genshin Impact.

Exploring Fontaine is open to players, but their progress in the region's quests will be limited until they complete the Archon Quest "Caribert" in Sumeru.

How to unlock Fontaine as a seasoned player

For players who are up-to-date with the story and have completed the "Caribert" Archon Quest in Genshin Impact, they will automatically be guided to the new Archon Quest that happens in Fontaine.

Even if these experienced players haven't yet gone through the Realm of Farakhkert in Sumeru, they will still have the new Teleport Waypoint unlocked. This makes it convenient for them to quickly reach the Nation of Hydro and start the story in that region.

However, players aren't required to immediately follow the quests. Like new players, they can freely explore the region at their own pace. The benefit they have is that they can begin the regional Archon Quests whenever they choose, as long as they've finished "Caribert."

Genshin Impact 4.0 and the Fontaine region will be available on all platforms from August 16th.

Travelers will explore the underwater world when arrive in Fontaine. There are many new exclusive features and puzzles in this country. Let's check out all new Fontaine puzzles and additions to Genshin Impact 4.0 here.

#1. Underwater Current

Like Wind Currents on the ground, Water Currents underwater in Fontaine also propel your characters toward its direction. Your characters often move more slowly when they are diving and swimming underwater. Therefore, these currents are very helpful for exploration in Fontaine.

#2. High-Pressure Water Vents

When diving and exploring the underwater world in Fontaine, you sometimes encounter high-pressure water vents. These vents will shoot high-pressure water currents which can hurt your characters. You can use the Armored Crab Shield skill borrowed from Armored Crabs to keep them safe.

Like sprinting and swimming, the diving skill also has a stamina bar. This Aquatic Stamina Bar will go empty when you sprint underwater. But you can find and collect Recovery Orbs to refill your Aquatic Stamina Bar. Moreover, these Obs also refill your HP bar. These obs look like schools of golden fish.

#4. Fontaine Echoing Conch

Echoing Conch is not a new item in Genshin Impact. But it was only added to limited events in previous updates. Hoyoverse will re-introduce it to Fontaine as an important item for solving puzzles in this new country. These conches will unleash sound waves that unveil hints and invisible objects. You should collect all echoing conches you see in your underwater adventure.

#5. Fantastical Floating Ball

During your underwater journey, you will meet spherical items called Fantastical Floating Balls. It's also a new mechanic involved in Fontaine's underwater puzzles. They often float along high-pressure waves.

#6. Pnenumosia Blocks

Pneumosia Block is a new device scattered around Fontaine. It has three states of Pneuma, Balanced, and Ousia. It helps your playable characters unleash Pneuma or Ousia-aligned attacks by infusing their normal, charged, and plunged attacks with one of these two new elements. This device allows non-Fontaine characters to defeat Fontaine enemies with the opposite element.

#7. Pneuma and Ousia

Pneuma and Ousia are two new opposite elements in Fontaine. Every creature in this nation is infused with these two elements. But each creature exhibits only one element that overwhelms.

You can counter enemies by hitting them with an attack infused with the opposite element. Luckily, non-Fontaine characters can use Pneumosia Block to charge their attack with one of these elements. It's also essential in solving puzzles when you have to interact with puzzle items by using Pneuma- or Ousia-aligned attacks.

Crystal Core is an essential material in Genshin Impact. You can catch more Crystalflies after Genshin Impact 4.0 with the new gadget called Crystalfly Trap. This is a reusable device that you can equip and use many times during the adventure in Teyvat.

#2. Wind-Powered Wind Generator

Climbing is a time-wasting activity in Genshin Impact when you have too many other tasks to do in such an immense world. Therefore, the release of a Wind-Powered Wind Generator will help you a lot.

Rare occurrences in Genshin Impact stem from player's luck, while updates introduce new content and challenges. Many fans have shown their undying dedication to the game, but sometimes the outcome is not as fruitful as they expected. Whether it's a new player or a seasoned user, these are the rarest things to happen in Genshin Impact.

Pull the correct 5-star weapon from weapon banners

In Genshin Impact, one of the rarest occurrences is successfully obtaining a desired 5-star weapon from the weapons banner.

The challenge is you have to overcome the already difficult banner odds and navigate the 50/50 chance of getting the featured weapon. Unlike character banners with a single 5-star character, weapons banners offer two different 5-star weapons simultaneously.

This makes it even more challenging to obtain the weapon that you want. While there is a special pity system in place to ensure the desired pull, it may require up to 240 pulls. And that is an exorbitant number that poses a significant liability, especially for free-to-play (F2P) players.

Get artifact pieces with the best stats

Each character and each gameplay requires specific artifacts. To get the best artifacts, you will have to join various domain challenges or events, and ring them as a reward.

In Genshin Impact, Artifacts' main stat and sub-stats are randomly generated, leaving players uncertain about what attributes they will get.

Players face an ongoing struggle against the game's RNG system in their quest to pull the correct piece with the ideal stats. While Artifact Lockboxes can aid in farming specific sets, they do not grant newer and superior Artifact sets.

Obtain the right material from weekly boss fights

Obtaining the right Talent materials from weekly boss fights in Genshin Impact is also quite rare. While not as challenging as farming Artifacts, it can still lead to frustration.

Each boss drops three types of items, and players may not get the specific material they need for their characters. Moreover, there's a limit to how many times a boss can be challenged weekly. This factor can extend the farming time if luck isn't on their side.

Although getting the correct materials quickly is uncommon, players have a partial solution.

They can use Dream Solvent to transform other unique items dropped by the boss into the desired material. For example, La Signora's Ashen Heart can be converted into a Molten Moment for Raiden Shogun farming.

While not perfect, it does ease some frustration from undesirable drops in the loot pool.

Enough resources to upgrade a character

Another rare occurrence in Genshin Impact is obtaining a new 5-star character and being able to fully upgrade them without additional farming.

Leveling up a 5-star character from level 1 to 90, along with their Talents, requires significant time and resources. However, some players who have diligently pre-farmed and effectively utilized their daily Resin may have enough resources to achieve this feat.

Unlike luck-based aspects such as banners or Artifact drops, this situation relies more on a player's dedication to the game's farming systems.

Nevertheless, it remains a rare occasion. Mora and materials are continuously in demand for the slew of characters and weapons. Having ample resources to immediately upgrade a unit without the need to detour is a seldom-seen achievement in Genshin Impact.

Find every Oculi without Oculus Resonance Stones

In Genshin Impact, finding all the Oculi in a region without using Oculus Resonance Stones is exceptionally rare.

While most Oculi appear on the mini-map, locating the last ones can be extremely challenging, especially in vast regions with hundreds of hidden Oculi scattered across the open-world map. Oculi are often well-concealed and may require solving puzzles to access, demanding both dedication and keen exploration.

The Oculus Resonance Stones are valuable aids when searching for the final Oculi to fully upgrade a regional Statue of the Seven, making finding all of them without this assistance an exceptionally rare feat in the game.

Genshin Impact Fontaine will be released in the next couple of weeks. You have to complete these five important tasks to get fully ready for the next update. Check out the top 5 must-done tasks before Fontaine Release in the next update here.

#1. Complete Mondstadt Archon Quest

If you have completed Archon Quests in every nation you have traveled to, you can easily access a new country when it's unlocked. Therefore, you should complete all archon quests in Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru.

At least, you should complete the Song of the Dragon and Freedom Act 3 in Mondstadt's Archon Quest Prologue. It will let you access Fontaine right after the new update is available. It would be best if you completed the latest archon quest Chapter III: Act VI “Caribert”.

#2. Complete Main Story Quests & Side Quests

If you have ignored all story quests in Genshin Impact, it's time for you to complete these quests. Try to complete these quests before many new quests in Fontaine are released in update 4.0 and next.

Moreover, old story quests give players essential information for new quests. Sometimes, you have to complete previous quests to unlock new story quests of the questline in the new update. It helps you unlock new story quests without having to return to Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru to find NPCs and characters stuck in those old quests.

#3. Stock Up Primogems

Primogems are essential for players who want to pull new characters and weapons in Fontaine. After update 4.0, there will be many new characters and weapons with new mechanics: Ousia and Pneuma.

All enemies in Fontaine are impacted by these two mechanics. Therefore, you must have characters or weapons with the opposite effect to counter.

#4. Farm Mora & Hero's Wits

Apart from ascension materials, you need a lot of Mora and Hero's Wits to level up your characters. Ley Line Overflow spots are the best locations to farm these materials for new characters from Fontaine or old characters that you haven't leveled up yet.

You can farm a lot of Mora from the open-world exploration. Besides, Hero's Wits are available to farm from events and treasure chests.

#5. Build A Multi-Tasking Team

To complete all these tasks, you must build a multi-tasking team. You should build a strong team with powerful elemental reactions, such as Hyperbloom, Burgeon, Burning, etc. Bring these teams to challenge domains and complete all remaining quests.

Complete these tasks before the next update is released. This helps you have more time to enjoy the new features and explore Fortaine when the new update comes out.

In the upcoming update 4.0 in Genshin Impact, you'll encounter the enigmatic magician at the forefront – a Pyro specialist who captivates with a dazzling array of explosive area-of-effect maneuvers hidden up his sleeves. Many users are wondering whether they should spend their Primogems on Lyney Genshin Impact.

Is Lyney a good character? Why should you pull him and what will make him worthwhile?

1. Reasons to pull for Lyney

First Fontaine 5-star character

It is known that Lyney will be the first and only 5-star character in version 4.0. He may appear in the first half of version 4.0 along with Yelan.

Furthermore, Fontaine is expected to introduce many new unique movement mechanics, so a character originating from Fontaine could be useful in various aspects of movement, storyline experiences, and more.

Lyney owns new mechanics

Genshin Impact will introduce two new mechanics called Ousia and Pneuma, which hold significant roles in battles and exploration. These effects will exclusively appear within the skill set of Fontaine characters.

According to recent leaks, the Ousia and Pneuma effects might be added to The Chasm and persist across all upcoming patches for Fontaine. Therefore, having a new character from Fontaine will give players an edge compared to the majority of other players.

Lyney is F2P-friendly

Lyney's skill set might be very suitable for F2P players as the primary damage source of the illusionist Fontaine comes from charged attacks, similar to Amber or Ganyu.

Furthermore, 4-star weapons like Prototype Crescent or The Stringless would also be well-suited for Lyney, as both of these weapons greatly enhance the effectiveness of charged attacks.

Moreover, national characters like Xiangling or Bennett are especially compatible with Lyney. These characters can synergize to boost damage through their respective elemental resonance and abilities.

A decent Pyro unit

Recent information reveals that Lyney boasts substantial damage and compatibility with various existing Pyro characters in the game.

Besides, Genshin Impact has introduced only a few Pyro DPS characters in recent updates, namely Yoimiya and Hu Tao. If there is a shortage of strong Pyro DPS characters and an abundance of Pyro support characters, it would be wise for players to consider acquiring Lyney to fill that role.

Interesting gameplay

Lyney brings an engaging gameplay experience and a unique fighting style by transforming into a playing card during normal attacks. He also turns into a Grin-Malkin Hat upon activating the Elemental Burst.

What's remarkable is that Lyney also possesses the ability to summon the Grin-Malkin Hat through a powerful charged attack, a move that can draw attention and discomfort the nearby enemies, providing a significant advantage in battles. Furthermore, he can self-heal and accumulate energy through their elemental skill.

2. Genshin Impact Lyney banner release date speculation

Anticipated to align with the 4.0 update, the Lyney banner is projected to launch on Wednesday, August 16, 2023. It is also foreseen that within this banner, alongside Lyney, Lynette, a four-star character proficient in Anemo and Sword techniques, will likely make an appearance.

Many Travelers in Genshin Impact have seen only one Moon in Teyvat and believed that there was only one moon in Teyvat's sky. In fact, there are three Moons on this continent. Let's explore them and their stories here.

I. Aria, Sonnet, and Canon

Aria, Sonnet, and Canon are three Moon Sisters in Genshin Impact. They are among the oldest beings in Teyvat, even older than Morax. In the story of this game, these three gods of the Lunar Palace are believed to be the ancestors of Seelies you have met a lot around Teyvat.

Aria, Sonnet, and Canon reside in their own palace and act as makeshift moons in the sky of Teyvat. They will ride their silver carriage through the heavens and switch shifts with each other three times per month.

At some point in the history of Teyvat, a love story between an ancestor of the Seelie and an Outlander happened in the Lunar Palace under the witness of three Moon Sisters. However, a disaster came and they had to flee from the heavens. As punishment, they were separated with totally wiped memories.

Other Seelie ancestors shred parts with broken hearts and became Seelies in the wispy forms as we have met in Teyvat now. Moreover, the disaster continued to ruin the heavens and the earth, destroyed the Lunar Palace, and turned Moon Sisters into enemies.

According to the story of Teyvat, three Moon Sisters died, and two of their bodies crumbled away. The only moon in Teyvat's sky is the only left body of them. Then, the sun chariot piloted by morning stars fell and crashed on the land in the west of Liyue and created Dunyu Ruins and The Chasm.

II. Cities Of Moons

Mondstadt and Liyue are the two cities named after the Moon. In German, the word "Mondstadt" means "Moon City" and the name "Liyue" in Chinese means "Crystal Moon". Moreover, Ay-Khanoum, an ancient city built by King Deshret is also known as the City of the Moon Maiden. That city was ruled by King Deshret and the God of Flower Nabu Malikata.

According to many hints and evidence, Nabu Malikata can be a Seelie Ancestor exiled to the earth by the Celestia.

III. Three Moons Of Teyvat

You might have met all three Moons of Teyvat: in Teyvat's sky, in the Abyss, and in the Blessing of the Welkin Moon which gives subscribers 90 Primogems per day. Moreover, when you log into the game at night, you can see a large moon in Teyvat's sky. It can be the first moon in Teyvat the third moon - Welkin Moon.
