Brave Lyn Counter for Armor Emblem?

With all these armored unit builds with Distant Counter weapons, Brave Lyn eats Armor Emblem for breakfast. Whats a good armored unit/build that can counter her?

Henry,tharja, and probably best bet jakob. If you run either mage with a raven tome they will handle a lyn no problem. Otherwise just run 3 or 4 ward armors and whatever tome you want and it shouldnt be a prob. It just has to be someone who can naturally attack at rng 2

I would imagine Halloween Henry or Jakob or Christmas tharja. Give them either a raven tome, any bow works on Jakob. It’s a shame that the only armor emblem options for ranged units are limited edition holiday units, so if you don’t have any of them idk what to say

If you have none of them, I’d think maybe a high defense unit with wary fighter who can just tank lyn then kill her on player phase. Problem there is that dancers can just let lyn run your team over

Henry tharja and jacob, but like people have said they're all seasonal, I think your best bet would be a high defense and speed unit like zelgius, draug or amelia, with armour buffs and a distant defense seal they should be able to survive and kill on the next turn. zelgius with warp powder can help him attack first or smite can be used to help other attacks her.
I use winter chrom he has 37 defense but with 3 armour units buffing def/res by a total of +19 he can survive her pretty easily lol

I dunno, every time I go in with my armor team she ORKOs my Effie, Halloween Henry, and Christmas Chrom. It might just be because I'm tier 19 and fighting all these whales.... but Brave Lyn kills everything except units specifically designed to counter her, that's why she's top tier.

My main arena team is an armor core of Effie, H!Henry, and Zelgius (formerly Black Knight). I faced +10 merged units in tier 20 and have only ever had a problem with B!Lyn once when she attacked my then unmerged Effie with a Brave Bow+ and then had a dancer repositioned to her to attack again. Obviously this isn't something you normally allow to happen.

I run 1-2 Ward Armors with Panic Ploy seal on Effie. H!Henry has Gronnowl and is also summoner supported. I've invested a bit into him but had no problem killing B!Lyn even before with the more standard build. No bowbreakers, raven tomes, or even Distant Defense. Other units can tank her without being particularly threatened, if need be, but I try to avoid it since he kills her.

With one ward and one fortify I’ve never seen Brave Lyn deal anymore than 25-30% damage on my W!Tharja, and I’ve also never seen her survive it lol
