Release4.0

Lyney's stoic assistant is a quick-swap Anemo support. Her Burst drops a Bogglecat Box that taunts enemies, absorbs an element to fire Vivid Shots, and gives the whole party up to 20% ATK depending on how many elements you run. With Viridescent Venerer she is a budget alternative to premium Anemo supports.

Guide

How to play

How she works

  • Magic Trick: Astonishing Shift (Burst) deals AoE Anemo DMG and summons the Bogglecat Box: it taunts nearby enemies, deals Anemo DMG over time and, once it touches Hydro, Pyro, Cryo or Electro, absorbs it and fires Vivid Shots of that element.
  • Sophisticated Synergy: for 10s after her Burst, all party members gain 8/12/16/20% ATK with 1/2/3/4 different elements in the team.
  • Props Positively Prepped: +15% Burst DMG once the Box has absorbed an element.
  • Enigmatic Feint (Skill): an Anemo thrust that heals her, then drains a little HP for 4s. Hold it to dash in the Pilfering Shadow state and mark an enemy with Shadowsign.

Rotation

  1. Tap E, then Q where your teammates will apply their element.
  2. Swap to a teammate who applies Hydro, Pyro, Cryo or Electro on the Box's area so it absorbs that element.
  3. Swap out and let the Box and Viridescent Venerer do the work.

The Box's taunt makes her a small comfort tool against aggressive enemies. At C6 her Skill grants Anemo Infusion and she can be played on-field, but that is niche.

Strengths

  • Cheap Viridescent Venerer holder with quick field time
  • Party-wide ATK buff, best in teams with four elements
  • The Bogglecat Box taunts enemies and draws their attacks away from your carry

Weaknesses

  • High Energy Recharge needs
  • Weak grouping compared to Kazuha, Sucrose or Venti
  • Outclassed by most modern Anemo supports
