Brave Bow + or Mulagir for Brave Lyn ?

Brave Bow Lyn always runs L&D because her speed goes back to 35. she becomes a quad archer just as fearsome as Bridal Cordelia with the same build as a result. You don't care about enemy phase if the enemy is irrevocably dead after all.

However, Mulagir adds free speed and you can hard counter any mages not specifically built for counting you and honestly 9 times out of 10, a unit properly built to counter Lyn can tank and kill her on the bait against both bow variants.

The issue is not everyone has built such hard counters and DC tanks are what most people rely on (3 of them were free units) and Mulagir fucks them up thanks to her B skill so leaving her entire default kit, especially on defense teams, is fairly ideal, but if you ever need the overkill (say BHB, or GHB Infernal) the Brave Bow could be useful for the sheer damage output.

WIth the spd +3 seal, go vrave all the way. Bear in mind you want at least a hine cavalry buff to maximise her offensive power

Mulagir is the better choice imo. Brave Bow Lyns are easier to take out in my experience.The Legendary weapon has a great effect with way more MT.

RyomaLobster has tried all of the above on Brave Lyn and here are his thoughts...

"I had a strong incentive to study Brave Lyn and to maximize her potential, especially as she was by far the most expensive +10 unit I made. Hence, I've experimented all three popular builds for her in the last few days: 1) her original weapon (still hate to spell it); 2) brave bow, and 3) firesweep bow. Here're my preliminary findings.

1) Offensively, brave bow would give you the most satisfying wins. She one-shots most units, except for armor teams with wary fighters on.

2) Although it was satisfying to use brave bow, her original weapon makes deathless runs much easier largely due to her ability to bait all mage units. Therefore, I'd have to give it to her original weapon when it comes to offensive performance.

3) Defensively, I have had defense wins with all three builds. However, firesweep + cancel affinity have given me noticeably more defensive wins, ceteris paribus.

Conclusion: keep her original weapon for deathless arena offense and firesweep bow + cancel affinity for arena defense. And, if you still have resources left, give her brave bow and feel free to appreciate her from a distance."

Keep in mind that the Sacred Seal Forge update will shake up the meta and things may change significantly in the coming weeks. For one, you can safely anticipate that many units will be running Distant Defense 3 as their seal changing the outcome of a lot of matches.

The best thing about brave bow is if you can quad hit, pretty much everyone dies. I at times run 3 dancers and my brave bow Lyn for fun. P. AURA buff her against armor units and she basically orko everyone with desperation.
