A Brazen Question

With the free Brazen Atk/Spd thanks to Linus I was wondering who could use it but the more I look the more I think I would rather keep Fury on the likely candidates. Fury being active in the first round of combat seems more useful on the already fast like my Nino and Tharja who sit at 40 speed with Fury.

So, Candidates:
H!Nowi - Running blade and Desperation. Brazen Atk/Spd would give her 54 Atk and 42 Spd with another 6 from Hone Fliers. I do like her and flier teams in general so the extra speed would make her more useful.

Lyn (+Atk -Spd built or +Spd -Def) - Sol Katti effect refined, escape route. With her effect meaning she doesn't need the speed against melee it helps her make/avoid double against ranged. She'd have 54 Atk 41 Spd. I've never really used Lyn even after refining Sol Katti so would appreciate any comments of her usefulness compared to other swords.

I think most people will say that linus is too good to fodder, but fury is better for those builds, or LnD for the nowi, never used lyn but stat wise neither of them use itwell

He does seem good but if I promote him at all it would only be 1 copy so that's 2 Brazen Atk/Spd for fodder.

Again, neither of those units have the stats to use it, so hold onto it or merge

Any units or archetypes you think it would work well on?

I really like it on a unit that will either damage itself to that range through RA, a weapon or otherwise, or a unit that will always live a hit, such as budget tanks until you get breath/DC
Cecilia also uses it well (the ragnorak one)

With Brazen Atk/Spd on Lyn she becomes amazing. If you aren't going to use her then don't kill him for her. I will because she is my favorite character and wasn't lucky enough to get any fodder for her yet.

Lucina with Sealed Falchion makes excellent use of it. Stacking 7 attack and speed on top of the 5 to all stats seems like a no brainer to me. Combine that with galeforce, heavy blade and a dancer and you’ve got yourself a sweeper that kills 3 units a turn once she reaches the threshold.

And yeah I realise the question was Nowi or Lyn but I just figured I’d mention it. Of the two I’d go with Lyn due to her skill set and better baseline for using it.

I've seen this built before, might even have been yours, and loved it. She's one of my favorite FE characters and I'm very tempted to do her but the dew cost is what's putting me off as she already has her Spectrum Bond Falchion and she's on my main Chain Challenge team filling the combat medic role.
