Is this a good Brave Lyn Counter?

Boey +Def/-HP
Gronraven+
Support skill...really irrelevant
Luna/Bonfire
Earth Boost
Bowbreaker
C skill irrelevant
Quickened Pulse, to allow a guaranteed Luna or Bonfire.

Triangle Adept is foregone as I'm seeing a rise in CA Brave Lyn in the arena. I'm also debating switching Moonbow in for the special and adding a +HP seal to make Earth Boost more guaranteed, but I don't know if that would pack enough punch to ORKO her.

Why is everyone so scared of B. Lyn?

Because other than Reinhardt, she single-handedly decimates my teams, and with Sacae's Blessing, she blocks all of my would-be archer counters.

As someone who can’t recall ever having lost a unit to B!Lyn (because I run a triple-ward Armor Emblem team and physical damage just isn’t going to cut through that), I can say easily why most people are afraid of B!Lyn:

She has an attack range of four, can receive cavalry buffs, will usually double or quad physically tanky units, avoids counter-attacks from most DC units, is tanky against magic, and is available for free so a vast majority of players have her. There isn’t really any other unit like her in the game, so it requires most people to bring a dedicated counter just for her, and since she’s cavalry she’s usually run with Reinhardt, who is just as obnoxious, so most people try to run one unit as a hard counter to both. And there actually aren’t too many units who can tank and kill both of them in the same match (let alone the same turn).

No, you won't ORKO her, she has pretty high res and Boey lacks any real DMG, beyond Ignis, which is his best special IMO. If you want to target her specifically, Gronwolf+ is a better choice. Though, Reinhardt will still destroy you because of your lack of RES.

I have another counter in mind for Reinhardt, and I don't have any F Robin to give him Gronwolf

I actually ran the calcs and with Bowbreaker and Moonbow activating on his second hit, he'll finish her. And this is assuming her at +atk/-Def, +10 merge and him with no merge.

Now, in the unlikely event she is +HP or +res...That's another story, but I doubt anyone's going to have a +HP or +Res +10 merge B!Lyn

With good positioning and enough spurs he can tank both blyn and rein just by giving him bowbreaker.
Mines +hp -spd can set up on rein and have ignis ready for blyn...he needs spurs or deflect magic help tho.
Or he can tank a blyn then double her...he REALLY needs multiple spur atk on an ally support unit support to get over her higher res.

+atk boey with fury and bow breaker (as well as team spur support) and atk seal for blyn or deflect magic for rein (distant def for both) is really all u need to check both of them.

Or u can go TA vantage to singlehandedly set up on rein and then proceed to nuke blyn lmao. But ye this kinda falls apart if theres no rein

I run this build with +def -res Gronraven+ Boey, TA3, QR2, Bonfire. Forget about moonbow or earthboost. He takes no damage from her and always procs bonfire because she doubles him and he doubles her back. It's impossible not to ORKO her if you bait her. Also with the distance defense seal Reinhart can be safely baited as well. I have ORKO'd maybe 200 Bowlyns and only seen 1 or 2 running cancel affinity. If that happens just bring Hector or BK along and bait her with them instead.

Don't fear using Triangle Adept. It grants Boey some safety from Reinhardt and saves him from similar blue mages. If you do run into a Cancel Affinity Lyn that just means Black Knight or any Distant Counter unit can destroy her without hesitation.

My Boey is -Hp/+Atk so I don't know if your drop in RES will hurt too much in duels against Reinhardt but even then a TA + Deflect Magic Boey is near guaranteed survival, plus it let's him take on other mages.

I too used to fear CA Brave Lyn, but then my Hector soloed a double Lyn + double Reinhardt team ("Hector laughs for he knows 'Vantage is everything!'") and made me wake up. The only time CA is appropriate over Lyn's default (and exclusive!) B skill is when she's already not getting hit through Firesweep Bow.
