Lyney deals a ton of damage while using his Charged Attacks, Skill, and Burst. He’s also self-sufficient since he takes away his own health but also heals it back up. Even though his play style sounds niche, he has quite a range of usable bows in the game.
Sharpshooter’s Oath - Three Star
Sharpshooter’s Oathis a three-star bow that can randomly be acquired whenever you summon on any banner in the game. If you play the game for even a bit, you’ll easily have this bow on Superimposition Five, and it can be quite good for Lyney during the early game. You get 46.9 percent Crit DMG after upgrading this bow to level 90.
Moreover, your DMG against an enemy’s weak spots is increased by 48 percent. This works well with Lyney since his main damage comes out of the Charged Attacks, and you can easily target an enemy’s weak spot with this attack.
Messenger - Three Star
WhileMessengeris also a three-star bow in the game, it’s much harder to acquire since you’re able to’tget it from the gacha system. This bow has a little higher Base ATK than Sharpshooter’s Oath at the maximum level, but the Crit DMG gained from it is also reduced to 31.2 percent.
Moreover, whenever you hit a weak spot with a Charged Attack, this bow deals extra DMG based on 200 percent of your ATK. This DMG is considered as your Crit DMG and can only occur once every ten seconds. It might not be the best choice for Lyney since he requires consistent damage, but it can be a good early-game weapon.
Prototype Crescent - Four Star
Prototype Crescentis a craftable weapon that you can easily make if you’ve been playing the game for a while. It can be crafted at any Blacksmith across the five regions, but you’ll need to get lucky enough to get a Bow Prototype for it. Upon upgrading this weapon, you can get 510 ATK and 41.3 ATK Percent.

Furthermore, Charged Attacks on weak spots will increase your Movement SPD and ATK Percent even further. This helps Lyney since he can move around faster while charging his shots, which makes it easier to dodge enemy attacks. Although, it does make it a bit hard to get a good Crit Ratio.
Blackcliff Warbow - Four Star
You can findBlackcliff Warbowin the Starglitter Exchange shop, but it’s only featured once every three months. You’ll need 24 Masterless Starglitter to buy it, which can be acquired by getting four-star and five-star repeat characters or weapons. It gives you 36.8 percent Crit DMG at the maximum level.
Lyney ascends on Crit Rate and his best artifact set (Marechaussee Hunter) gives him even more Crit Rate. With the Crit DMG from this weapon and the ATK boost upon defeating opponents, he can be quite unstoppable. This also makes it easier to get good artifacts for him.
Polar Star - Five Star
We’re heading into the five-star territory now, and these Bows can only be acquired through the weapon banner, which is generally not a good place tospend your Primogemsif you’re free-to-play or low-spending.Polar Stargives you a massive 33.1 percent Crit Rate boost at the maximum level.
With the Crit Rate you can have in-built on Lyney, this weapon might be enough to achieve a 100 percent Crit Rate on him. You can then farm as much Crit DMG as possible from the artifacts, allowing you to easily get 200 percent and more.
Aqua Simulacra - Five Star
Aqua Simulacrais considered one of the best all-rounder five-star Bows in Genshin Impact because of its whopping 88.2 percent Crit DMG at the maximum level. This is higher than any other weapon can give, and it also increases your overall DMG by 20 percent as soon as you equip it on Lyney.

The HP stat might not be useful for this character, but you can stay at higher health even when it gets decreased from the Charged Attacks. Overall, this is the second-best Bow for Lyney, and it can give you some great Crit stats to look at.
The First Great Magic - Signature
Last but not least, Lyney’s signature five-star weapon beats everything else in the game since it’s designed for him specifically. It gives a little lower Crit DMG (66.2 percent) at the maximum level, but it also increases your Charged Attack DMG by 16 percent as soon as it’s equipped.
Furthermore, it gives Lyney extra buffs based on the element of your party members. You get an ATK Percent boost for every Pyro character and a Movement SPD boost for every character from a different element. Ideally, you’d want to use at least two other Pyro characters with Lyney because of his passive.
