Genshin Impact – Lyney Talent and Ascension materials complete guide

These are the Talent and Ascension materials for Lyney in Genshin Impact. As a Fontaine five-star, Lyney’s Talent and Ascension mats can be farmed in Fontaine.

Lyney’s kit is geared towards his powerful charged shots and Elemental Skill. With that in mind, if you take the time to Ascend Lyney you will have a strong DPS unit on your team. He performs better with other Pyro characters, so bear that in mind when forming your teams.

You can check out our Lyney best builds guide to learn more about how to use him. Make sure to also check our guide on Genshin Impact codes to grab all the freebies you can. Now, on to Lyney Ascension and Talent materials in Genshin Impact.

Lyney Ascension materials

As with all characters in Genshin, Lyney follows the same level-up and Ascension path and methods. You will always need Mora, a local speciality, and a boss material you get from a specific World Boss. You will need all of these things below to get Lyney to level 90, but we generally think 80 is an excellent stopping point if you don’t want to grind anymore.

Ascension Phase	Lyney Ascension Materials	Mora
Level 20	1x Agnidus Agate Sliver, 3x Rainbow Rose, x3 Recruit’s Insignia	20,000
Level 40	3x Agnidus Agate Fragment, 10x Rainbow Rose, 15x Recruit’s Insignia, 2x Emperor’s Resolution	40,000
Level 50	6x Agnidus Agate Fragment, 20x Rainbow Rose, 12x Sergeant’s Insignia, 4x Emperor’s Resolution	60,000
Level 60	3x Agnidus Agate Chunk, 30x Rainbow Rose 18x Sergeant’s Insignia 8x Emperor’s Resolution	80,000
Level 70	6x Agnidus Agate Chunk, 45x Rainbow Rose, 12x Lieutenant’s Insignia, 12x Emperor’s Resolution	100,000
Level 80	6x Agnidus Agate Gemstones, 60x Rainbow Rose, 24x Lieutenant’s Insignia, 20x Emperor’s Resolution	120,000

All told, you’re looking at needing the following amount of each material to Ascend Lyney to level 90. All these materials can be gathered from killing specific monsters and picking them up in the overworld. Rainbow Roses, for example, can be found in great quantities in Fontaine.

• x1 Agnidus Agate Sliver
• x9 Agnidus Agate Fragment
• x9 Agnidus Agate Chunk
• x6 Agnidus Agate Gemstone
• x18 Recruit’s Insignia
• x30 Sergeant’s Insignia
• x36 Lieutenant’s Insignia
• x46 Emperor’s Resolution
• x168 Rainbow Rose
• x419 Hero’s Wit
• 7.1M Mora

Where to find Emperor’s Resolution

The World Boss you need to beat to get Lyney’s Ascension material is called the Empreror of Fire and Iron. This is a new boss introduced in Fontaine and it is a large crab enemy. You can find it in an underwater cave in Fontaine, reachable near the start of the Elton Trench, and to the left of the Belleau Region.

Fight the boss and claim the reward at the flower to get the materials you need. Depending on your World Level, you will get between one and three Emperor’s Resolution items per kill. The higher your World Level, the more likely you are to get two to three per fight. You also need 40 Original Resin to claim the reward.

Where to find Recruit’s Insignia

The Recruit, Sergeant, and Lieutenant Insignias are the materials dropped by most Fatui enemies you come across, the most typical being Fatui Skirmishers, Fatui Cicin Mages, and Fatui Pyro Agents.

The insignia comes in three rarities like most monster materials, the first is the Recruit, then the Sergeant, and then the Lieutenant Insignia is the rarest drop. Again, the higher your World Level, the more likely you are to get more of these materials from the Fatui you defeat.

Where to find Rainbow Roses

As a new local speciality exclusive to Fontaine, the Rainbow Roses can be found in, you guessed it, Fontaine. They seem to appear in most places above ground in Fontaine, specifically the Belleau Region and Beryl Region, and some are outside Fontaine’s courthouse. Gather as many of these as you can and you will be able to Ascend Lyney in no time.

If you’re ever short on materials and the nodes in your world haven’t respawned, you can always jump into another person’s world through multiplayer and ask nicely if you can farm materials there.

Lyney’s Talent Materials

Before you begin levelling Talents, you should make sure you’ve Ascended Lyney to level 80 or 90. At level 80 you can get all your Talents to level eight while being at level 90 will let you upgrade them to 10, which is the maximum rank.

Every character has three main talents they can level: their Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst. Starting at Talent level 6, you will need specific materials dropped by one of the weekly bosses in the Trounce Domains. Here are all the materials you’ll need to level one Talent to level ten.

Lyney’s Talent	Lyney Talent Materials	Mora
Level 2	3x Teachings of Equity, 6x Recruit’s Insignia	12,500
Level 3	2x Guide to Equity, 3x Sergeant’s Insignia	17,500
Level 4	4x Guide to Equity, 4x Sergeant’s Insignia	25,000
Level 5	6x Guide to Equity, 6x Sergeant’s Insignia	30,000
Level 6	9x Guide to Equity, 9x Sergeant’s Insignia	37,500
Level 7	4x Philosophies of Equity, 4x Lieutenant’s Insignia, 1x Primordial Greenbloom	120,000
Level 8	6x Philosophies of Equity, 6x Lieutenant’s Insignia, 1x Primordial Greenbloom	260,000
Level 9	12x Philosophies of Equity, 9x Lieutenant’s Insignia, 2x Primordial Greenbloom	450,000
Level 10	18x Philosophies of Equity, 12x Lieutenant’s Insignia, 2x Primordial Greenbloom, x1 Crown of Insight	700,000

The Weekly Boss drop for Lyney’s Talent is the Primordial Greenbloom, which can be farmed from the Realm of Beginnings Trounce Domain in the Sumeru Desert. Here are the Lyney Talent Materials you’ll need to fully upgrade one of his Talents:

• x3 Teachings of Equity
• x6 Recruit’s Insignia
• x6 Primordial Greenbloom
• x21 Guide to Equity
• x22 Sergeant’s Insignia
• x31 Lieutenant’s Insignia
• x38 Philosophies of Equity
• 1,652,500 Mora
• x1 Crown of Insight

If you want to upgrade all three of Lyney’s Talents, you will need three times the Talent materials. Use this list below to check the total:

• x9 Teachings of Equity
• x18 Recruit’s Insignia
• x18 Primordial Greenbloom
• x63 Guide to Equity
• x66 Sergeant’s Insignia
• x93 Lieutenant’s Insignia
• x114 Philosophies of Equity
• 4,957,500 Mora
• x3 Crown of Insight

To level a Talent to level 10, you also need a special item called a Crown of Insight. These are given as rewards from events and from the various Trees you can level throughout the world, such as the Frostbearing Tree in Dragonspine, the Tree of Dreams in Sumeru, and the Sacred Sakura in Inazuma. As you can see from our table above, levelling Talents doesn’t come cheap.

✓ Jack’s hint

Talent Books are available on specific days

Lyney’s Talent Books, the Teachings of Equity, can be farmed from the Pale Forgotten Glory Domain in Fontaine. Teachings of Equity can only be farmed on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. Sometimes, these Talent Books can be obtained from the Battle Pass and as a reward for any in-game Events that might take place in Fontaine, as well as from chests.

Where to find Primordial Greenbloom

The weekly boss drops you need to farm for Lyney Talent materials are from the Realm of Beginnings Trounce Domain in the Sumeru Desert. You can challenge this Trounce Domain when you have reached the specific area.

This fight puts you against the Dendro dragon Apep. You can collect from this Trounce Domain once per week for the cost of 30 Original Resin or 60 Original Resin, depending on if you’ve used your reduced collection bonus for the week.
