Brave Lyn

Can i make a Atk+ Res- Lyn work? Since her weapon skill specializes against magic users, would this be bad for her?

She's perfectly fine with -res. In fact, some Japanese game sites list her optimal IV to be exactly +atk -res, so congrats. Just keep her original weapon and b-slot skill, and she will be a beast. For her a-slot, either L&D3 or Swift Sparrow is fine.

I have already ran the iv calculations for Lyn regarding both Mulagir and Brave Bow builds here:

https://fireemblem.gamepress.gg/q-a/brave-lyn-iv-calculations

The gist of it is that if you are running Mulagir for her, you're pretty much in the clear for safe mage baiting. You will definitely want to give her Fury for the speed buff however as 38 speed neutral (with her bow) is highly vulnerable to people like Speed Nino with seals, Celica, Linde, etc. A speed seal to be extra safe is never a bad thing either.

Ryu, I don't think a neutral speed Lyn needs to worry about being doubled. Here's a +atk -res Lyn at +10. My +10 Nino most definitely cannot double her. Instead, he gets one shot by +atk Lyn.

Report

+10 is not the point though. Compare Lyn and Nino at the same merge level, Nino simply cannot double her... Did you perhaps forget about her +3 speed that comes with her weapon when you do the analysis?

Also, to your point, I think L&D is viable only at high merge levels. At lower merge level, yes it might be a good idea to use a speed seal while running swift sparrow. However, Nino should never be the concern, since Lyn should one-shot Nino, especially with the +atk Lyn being discussed here.

Report

Nino with +spd/-def is what I use. She runs a speed seal. 43 speed. Neutral Lyn and her bow is 38 speed and she will be double hit and killed by Nino easily. and this is using merged stats, that is exactly why I said Swift Sparrow should be swapped for Fury to guarantee that no mage doubles her besides Reinhardt.

Also even with only a single seal and no fury, Lyn can avoid the double yes, but she DOES NOT in fact double a Fury Nino, even at a defense bane. It takes 52 power to 1 shot Nino and +atk Mulagir is only 50, or 51 with an attack seal.

Why would you compare Lyn's stats without any A-skill with fury Nino? Let's summerize the scenarios:

1. If Lyn uses swift sparrow 2 and initiates, Nino dies in one hit. If Nino attacks first, Lyn dies from being doubled unless with a speed seal.

2. If Lyn uses fury, then Nino will not double and will get one-shotted.

3. If Lyn uses L&D, then Nino will not double and will get one-shotted.

In other words, it is probably better to just run fury or L&D. Considering Lyn's almighty b-skill, I'd prefer L&D over fury as the former doesn't really impede her survivability against mages.

Report

Lyn does not come with Fury and many people insist on keeping Swift Sparrow. the point I was making was the reasoning behind why you should be running Fury instead. when comparing combat you usually start by assuming you need to bait the enemy so Swift Sparrow would not matter vs Fury Nino which is why i compared Lyn's unmodified stats.

Fury is needed for a Neutral Lyn to avoid mage doubles is all I wanted to point out.

Report

Yes, that's absolutely valid! But why fury though... L&D3 not only doesn't hamper her survivability against mages but also helps secure some important kills (either for one-shotting or by doubling) for her. But with fury, you will take 6 damage even if you are attacking DC units, which is quite a waste for her B-skill, isn't it?

Report

I dislike L&D on a Res bane Lyn because then her magic soak drops to a single 55 power magic hit, though without buffs, I think deathblow Cecilia and an attack seal is the only mage likely to do it besides maybe a deathblow Delthea?

If you keep Sacae's blessing the hit to defense means nothing so it's likely fine in most cases truth be told.
