In this part of the video, the focus is on providing a comprehensive guide on how to build and play the character Lenny effectively. The narrator discusses Lenny’s primary role as a charge attacking bow user with a unique charge shot mechanic. Key points include:
– Lenny’s charge shot at level 2 fires a special prop Arrow dealing significant single-target pyro damage and consuming HP if above 60%, giving a surplus stock.
– Lenny can hold up to five stocks, which are consumed during his Elemental skill, causing AOE pyro damage and healing him based on the consumed HP.
– Each charge shot summons a hat that taunts enemies and fires a strong pyro attack called a pyrotechnic strike.
– The hat can be destroyed or expire, triggering the pyro attack and providing additional strategic benefits in combat.
This guide aims to inform viewers about Lenny’s abilities, optimal usage, and strategic play to maximize his effectiveness.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains the mechanics of managing “hats” in gameplay. You can only have one hat active at a time, and if a new one is summoned, it replaces and triggers a power strike with your charge attack. Hats eventually deal damage or can be destroyed by enemies or your Elemental skill, which also converts single-target power strikes into AOE damage. The video emphasizes using the Elemental skill with a hat active and maximizing stacks through charge attacks.
Furthermore, Lenny’s character features a unique Elemental burst, transforming into a cat that deals Pyro damage to enemies upon contact and significant AOE Pyro damage when the burst ends. This ability can be canceled early or run its full course, and it has a cooldown period of 15 seconds with a 60 energy cost.
Lenny’s passives increase damage from Grin Malkin hats and provide energy recovery. His second passive increases damage by 60% against Pyro-affected enemies, plus an additional 20% for each Pyro party member, up to a total of 100%. Consequently, building a team with other Pyro characters is crucial to maximize Lenny’s damage output, avoiding elements that would disrupt Pyro status on enemies.

In this part of the video, the focus is on optimizing Lydia’s team composition around Pyro and constructing a mono Pyro team to maximize her effectiveness. The importance of prioritizing Lydia’s talents is emphasized, with normal attacks being the most critical, followed by burst, and skill last, unless burst isn’t used frequently. Lydia is recognized as a unique character needing a mono Pyro team and strong off-field supports to perform optimally, especially in AoE scenarios, despite having some weaknesses like single-target focus and low HP and defense.
The segment advises using a shield or resistance to interruption to mitigate these weaknesses. Despite being challenging to play, Lydia’s raw DPS output is highlighted. Players are reminded that Lydia’s effectiveness can vary based on the team composition and current game challenges, like the current Abyss. For artifacts, the new Mario C Hunter set is recommended, providing substantial boosts to normal and charge attack damage, and stacking crit rate when HP fluctuates, making it the best-in-slot option for Lydia.

In this part of the video, the focus is on optimizing the four-piece artifact effect for the character Lenny. The key points include Lenny’s ability to maintain high uptime on the set effect due to his HP consumption and self-healing mechanics, often paired with Bennett for additional healing and attack buffs. The video also mentions alternative artifact sets if the optimal set isn’t available, such as Lava Walker, Volide, Wanderer’s Troupe, Desert Pavilion, or Vermillion Hereafter. The recommended stats for Lenny are highlighted, emphasizing crit rate, crit damage, and attack percentage, with considerations for energy recharge to maximize his effectiveness in rotations.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the focus is on optimizing character stats and selecting the best weapons. The recommended energy recharge (ER) generally ranges between 120-140, which may vary based on team dynamics and weapon choices. Elemental Mastery is usually not a priority unless specific team setups focus on reaction spamming. For main stats, attack percent on the Sands, pyro damage bonus on the Goblet, and crit damage on the Circlet are advised, with crit rate as an alternative if needed to balance the crit ratio.
The video then transitions to discussing the best weapons for a character named Lenny. Top-tier options include the 5-star bows First Grade Magic, Aqua Simulacra, and Thundering Pulse, each providing significant benefits like crit damage, high base attack, and other damage-boosting effects. However, caution is advised with weapons that heavily boost crit rate since Lenny may already have a high crit rate due to his natural stats and artifacts, which could lead to overcapping and challenges in artifact building.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the discussion focuses on weapon and strategy options for Lenny. Several weapon types are evaluated based on their effectiveness:
1. Crit Rate Bows and Ammo: Suggested if not over-capping crit rate, with ammo enhancing chargeback damage.
2. Four-Star Weapons: Lenny has viable options including the Prototype Crescent, which provides substantial attack if the enemy’s weak point is hit. Other four-star options include Blacklist Warbow and Song of Stillness.
3. Weapon Ranking: A general ranking is provided, noting it varies based on team composition, content, and artifact stats.
Advanced tips and rotation advice for Lenny are also given:
1. Burst Cancel: It’s recommended to cancel Lenny’s burst immediately after the big hit for optimal damage, unless hitting a nearby enemy.
2. Buff Application: Apply all buffs from support characters like Bennett and Anemo characters before dealing significant damage.
3. Rotation: Use Lenny’s burst and charge shots efficiently, depending on the situation, to maximize damage output and energy gain, and ensure skill usage after multiple charge shots for stacked damage.

In this segment of the video, the speaker talks about the constellations of the character Lenny and their effects. They explain that Lenny C0 is already a great character without needing constellations, but they describe the benefits of each constellation level for those interested.
– **C1**: Allows two hats on the field, an extra stack every 15 seconds, adding a small damage boost.
– **C2**: Provides up to 60% crit damage the longer Lenny stays on the field, ideal for using bursts at the end of rotations.
– **C3**: Increases normal attack level instead of skill or burst, boosting charge attack damage.
– **C4**: Decreases power resistance of enemies when hit with a charge attack, more valuable in teams with other Pyro damage dealers.
– **C5**: Increases burst levels, though less impactful than normal attack increases.
– **C6**: Substantially increases personal damage by adding an 80% damage pyrotechnic strike alongside each prop arrow.
The segment also discusses Lenny’s best team composition, recommending a mono Pyro Team setup due to strong Pyro supports and the benefits from Lenny’s passive talents when enemies are affected by Pyro. Typically, this setup includes Lenny with Bennett and two flexible options, emphasizing the importance of Pyro aura maintenance.
00:21:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the various team compositions and character synergies for optimizing Lenny’s performance. Key actions include selecting supports such as Bennett, who is highlighted as Lenny’s best support due to his attack boost and healing capabilities. For defensive utility, shielder options like Zhongli and pyro-shielding characters like Yanfei and Dehya are recommended to provide resistance to interruption and additional attack buffs. Offensive flex options such as Shangling or Kazua are suggested for their damage output and buffing abilities. The speaker emphasizes the importance of selecting characters that complement Lenny’s pyro-based passive and overall team dynamics.
00:24:00
In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses various team compositions and strategies for using the character Lenny in the game. They suggest running characters like Venti for crowd control and personal damage, using Lynette for synergy as she pairs well with Lenny, and considering other Anemo options like Hazel. The general recommendation is to use a mono-Pyro team, typically including Lenny, Bennett, and two flex characters, which could be defensive like Zhongli or offensive like another Pyro character or Anemo options like Kazua. The presenter emphasizes the effectiveness of triple Pyro teams or a two Pyro team with Kazua and Zhongli. The video concludes with a disclaimer about the current game’s challenges and a note on the presenter’s Lenny build not being fully optimized but still showcasing its potential.
