According to the leak, Lyney’s Charged Attack will have two levels based on the charging time. The first level works as any other Charged Attack in the game, and it deals increased Pyro damage.

If the hat explodes, itdeals additional Pyro damageto one nearby enemy. When using this attack type, Lyney will consume a portion of this HP to obtain 1 Prop Surplus Stack. This effect is limited to five stacks and can be triggered only if Lyney is above 60% HP.His Elemental Skill is called Bewildering Lights and activating it will clear all Prop Surplus stacks and deal AoE Pyro damage that scales with his ATK stat and the number of stacks.

He can use his Elemental Skill to turn back to his original human form which will cause another explosion while summoning 1 Grin-Malkin Hat and acquiring a Prop Surplus stack.
