Lyn

Merge: +4
Seal: Attack +3
Blessing: Wind

Player Phase Offensive Lyn

Sol Katti (Eff)(Weapon)
The sister sword of Mani Katti. It is Lyn's personal weapon and has one of the more powerful effects in the game. Like Roy with his special Quick Riposte effect, Lyn gets a special Brash Assault that kicks in when her HP threshold drops below 75%. In addition, the Desperation effect also kicks in that same HP threshold as well.

This makes it that Speed is completely irrelevant for Lyn and wants to have as much Attack as possible.

Reposition (Assist)
Very self-explanatory.

Moonbow (Special)
An ideal Special for Lyn since she wants to eradicate as many as possible. Many of her opponents tend to be melee users anyway, but she can also take on ranged foes that are physically bulky.

Fury 3 (A-Slot)
Probably one of the better budget skill to run on her, but not nearly as optimal as other skills like Brazen Atk/Spd or Life & Death. While it grants her stat boosts, it will also quickly drop her HP to dangerous levels.

Wrath 3 (B-Slot)
Lyn's best B-Slot skill. This grants her a pseudo-Slaying weapon effect when her HP is below 75% (same HP threshold condition as her refined Sol Katti). Not only that, whenever her Special activates, she also deals an additional 10 damage to her opponent.

While it is a solid B-Slot skill, this doesn't actually let her slice through powerful Blue Tanks like Hardin, Effie, Lukas, etc.

Atk Smoke 3 (C-Slot)
Her Def stat is pretty average, but she still faces many dangers, such as Zelgius, Ayra, Mia and Karla. They all hit pretty damn hard, but so are certain Green units. This let's Lyn hinder their Attack stat if they are within range.

Attack +3 (Sacred Seal)
Very self-explanatory. She'll want to have as much Attack as possible, as previously stated above.

-----

Pros:
+ Her weapon, if refined for Eff, has two powerful effects: Desperation and Brash Assault, both that kick in when Lyn's HP threshold falls under 75%. This also syngergizes well with the Wrath and Brazen skills
+ Her Speed is pretty good at natural, but it is not her strong point, ironically
+ She also has above decent Res, which can allow her to run Ploy skills if so desired

Cons:
- Because most of her builds are reliant on lowering her HP to certain levels, this can be a tad bit risky in the arena
- Her Attack is quite shallow at neutral and she needs all the Attack she can get to be fairly competent
- She requires lots of heavy investment to be competent as her base kit has little to no synergy whatsoever with a refined Sol Katti
- Her bread and butter build may fail against certain healthy Red Tanks like Zelgius, Adult Tiki and so forth, but will obviously fail against Blue Tanks or basically anyone with the rare Deflect Melee seal

Sol Katti (+Eff)
Thanks to her refine and her weapon Brash Assault 2 + Desperation 3 her spd those not matter and only really matters for dodging doubles

Fury 3
This helps her get into Brash assault and desperation range easily.
(NOTE:Ardent Sacrifice helps her further more that's why Ardent Sacrifice is there)

Vantage 3
(NOT SURE IF IT'S TRUE)
Vantage range she can attack first and be in brash assault range and desperation attacking TWICE in enemy and player phase

Drive Spd 2
Just a upgrade from spur spd 3

Spd+ 3
OPTIONAL

Budget Lyn build ( will probably give Wrath to her if I get another Nephenee)
Could run Reciprocal Aid or Ardent Sacrifice to get her under that Hp threshold.

*Update* The build is still to get her HP at around 50% still however she has much better skills that have been introduced. And she is a +2 merged unit so her stats have increased slightly.

So brash assault is now brash assault 4 and built into her weapon, and with the addition of brazen atk/spd grants her +7 for each stat when her HP is 80% or less of her max. Wrath adds extra damage to luna however moonbow could work too. And atk smoke helps her bulk as well as her teammates bulk as well. As for a seal quicken pulse could work with luna but 3 extra attack seemed more helpful, speed could work too. I'd say this is a better build albeit more expensive. but both work amazing.

Basically this build is to get her under or at least 50% of her max HP.
She is best at initiating attacks with the help of death blow and brash assault and with desperation 2 built into her weapon most units will fall to lyn if she attacks first.
Reciprocal Aid helps with getting her to that threshold quicker and easier and luna is for those units with higher defense stats to ensure victory.
Threaten Def is used to give her a bit more attack power and since she usually hits twice it grants her +10 more damage most of the time.
My lyn is +HP -DEF so if you have one that is +SPD or +ATK she could be even better.

Ardent sacrifice (and a little bit more damage) will drop Lyn below 75%. Then she just wrecks. Wrath and a different special could make her more of a powerhouse, but vantage and galeforce can sometimes be useful for survivability. I mostly use galeforce because of arena though...
