Who and how to effectively deal with Rein + B.Lyn.

Just as the tittle states, I want to know who to use to counter Reinhardt and B.Lyn? At the moment im contemplating on Cecilia or S.Camilla. If you have other characters that you could recommend please do so, but preferably non infantry (trying to use new tactic buffs)

Tactic buffs apply to infantry, NOT cavalry. So Cecilia goes out the window. I've used Female Robin, who was available 2 months ago as a GHB. Gave her Gronnraven (not even +), Triangle Adept 3, and Quick Riposte 2. She actually takes no damage from unbuffed BLyn and Rein.

I wasn't really intending for cecilia to benefit from it, but moreover to use her as the carrier. I was considering F.robin for quite a bit as well, but was wondering in the difference between her bulk and the other two?

FRobin 29/22
Cecilia 22/28
SCamilla 30/19

So FRobin wins total defenses, she's Cecilia with Def and Res flip-flopped. SCamilla with +Res -Spd/HP is FRobin's equivalent, inherently weak to BLyn and still with lowish Res however, so not neccesarily ideal unless in Flier Emblem.

Tactic buffs applies to any movement type unit, but you can't have more than 2 of that unit movement type in the team to apply the buff. The number restriction is for the quantity of units not for the kind of unit. So, if you have like, 2 horses, 1 Infantry (lets say he's the tactic buff holder) and 1 Armored, the horses and armored will get the buff, but if it was 3 horses or 3 armoreds it would not work.

I haven't really considered going for the more offensive approach, since most of my team were pseudo tanks and also I'm mostly having difficulty with those two + a dancer and was worried that she may die from a buffed Rein or Lyn using P Azura

I was gonna comment with my anti-rein/blyn but it's the exact same Nino :D

Only I went ahead to give her Gronrraven+
She takes no damage from Rein and a bit from Lyn but anyway can't get doubled because of how fast she is, and this is without buffs or anything.

My tactic in arena is to bait BLyn and/or Rein with her, and then take care of the rest of the team xD

Fae counter hard The Reinhardt,A!Tiki destroy Bowlyn,Nowi eat both of them.

The best one for both is Fae with lightning breath+ And possibly bowbreaker. Lightning breath is a slightly expensive skill to pass to her BUT, she has the bulk to survive both and counter from distance. lightning breath bypasses sacaes blessing and allows her to counter brave Lyn from distance.

The short answer is Brave Ike or Cecilia. The long one is Cecilia with Triangle Adept+Raven Tome with Glacies is my go to against Reinhardt. It's such a great feeling to watch the notorious Reinhardt deal two little 0's and charging her special, while she usually kills Reinhardt and has her special charged to deal some serious damage or take out someone else. It punishes them really hard for using Reinhardt. The only problem I have with Spring Camilla is that her Res is so bad, so she isn't really great for taking hits. I also like using Julia, Soren, really anyone who has enough res to laugh at his attempts to deal damage. H! Sakura is another great choice if you have her! Sheena isn't horrible for a budget option, or Anna also due to her having triangle advantage and high res and speed. As for Brave Lyn, Brave Ike, or even Raventome+TA Cecilia, though the latter option can be risky in some instances so if you go with her be careful, which it's also worth noting if Brave Lyn has Cancel Affinity you're in a really bad position in that scenario. A friend of mine uses Hector, really just for his physical defense, and then he moves in and punishes Lyn. I usually just try to use dancers or good positioning to bait her to move in and punish her for it. Sheena is actually a decent choice if you need to bait with a character, and Calvary (And Fliers in some cases, again depending on team compostion and map) can help you move in if need be. Really any character with good speed and physical bulk is a good choice.

I use +Atk Raventome TA Lilina for Lyn and Julia for Reinhardt. Or Bowbreaker H. Henry for both(more risky since I don't run Raven build on H. Henry).

Short answer: Cecilia.

As a natural user of Gronnraven+, all she needs in order to be a competent anti-Reinhardt/Brave Lyn are:
• Triangle Adept 3
• Bowbreaker 3

Bear in mind that Brave Lyn's Mulagur nullifies stat boosts from opposing mages (Cecilia in this case), so Cecilia needs to rely on allies using Ward Cavalry instead. That way, there is no way for Brave Lyn to get around Cecilia's 'invisible' stat boosts when she is baited.
