Legendary Lyn

Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -HP or -DEF

• Focusing on Legendary Lyn's offensive potential, either Speed or Attack Asset is chosen to maximize her ability to rain arrows upon her enemies. It is ideal to leave her Resistance intact compared to her other defensive stats in order to justify any Ploy skills used, and to keep her strong Magical Bulk.

Weapon: Swift Mulagir / Firesweep Bow+

• Swift Mulagir is the ideal weapon of choice, being able to grant Legendary Lyn with 5 Attack/Speed if she is able to meet the activation condition. This offensive boost can help to provide her the means necessary to justify fielding Flashing Blade 4 without losing much by not having an offensive boosting A Passive.

• Firesweep Bow may not have the Attack and Speed benefit that Swift Mulagir can provide, but in return Legendary Lyn no longer has to fear counter attacks unless the opponent is running skills such as Null C-Disrupt.

Assist: Reposition / Rally Def/Res / Player Preference

• Reposition is generally a useful movement Assist for many units, allowing for a swift retreat or the ability to help an ally advance.

• Rally Def/Res is the skill included in Legendary Lyn’s base kit, and can function just fine if one is not willing to change the Assist skill.

Special: Moonbow / Luna / Iceberg

• Moonbow is able to be activated every round of combat, even in Desperation range, provided Legendary Lyn can meet Flashing Blade requirements and is not hampered by Guard related skills.

• Luna and Iceberg provide a larger source of burst damage than Moonbow. They are excellent choices to run if Legendary Lyn is not running Flashing Blade as the Special should activate roughly every other round of combat.

Passive A: Flashing Blade 4 / Swift Sparrow (2 or 3) / Fury (3 or 4)

• Flashing Blade 4 does two excellent things for Legendary Lyn and plays off her high Speed potential. Not only does it reward her with the ability to abuse Specials much more consistently, but she also is rewarded with +5 True Damage on each of her hits which can give her a fighting chance against more durable opponents.

• Swift Sparrow gives a large offensive boost to Legendary Lyn and is perfect for abusing her Player phase offenses to their limit. Atk/Spd Solo does give a similar boost to Swift Sparrow 3 as well as a larger boost than Swift Sparrow 2, but it should be avoided incase one has to place an ally adjacent to Legendary Lyn so that Swift Mulagir activates.

• Fury can help Legendary Lyn set Desperation up reliably at the cost of a weaker offensive presence compared to the aforementioned A Passives. As a different benefit however, Fury makes Ploy skills much more reliable than they were before as it works well with Swift Mulagir’s inherent Resistance +3.

Passive B: Desperation / Lull Spd/Def / Chill Spd / Chill Def 

• Desperation is the B Passive of choice and Legendary Lyn even comes with this in her base kit. Flashing Blade ensures she can activate a two charge Special such as Moonbow even when she is set up in Desperation range, on top of making sure Legendary Lyn has to trade blows less often.

• Lull Spd/Def, as well as Chill Spd or Chill Def are B Passives that can be taken if one is choosing to leave behind Swift Mulagir in exchange for a Firesweep Bow. Firesweep Bow means that Legendary Lyn no longer requires Desperation, opening up her B Passive for different options. Lull Spd/Def not only inflicts -3 Speed/Defense on her opponent, but it also helps Legendary Lyn to ignore Speed and Defense displayed buffs that the opponent may have. Chills are less immediately useful by comparison, but they are both accessible through the usage of Grails via Panne and Walhart respectively.

Passive C: Joint Hone Spd / Spd Tactic / Def Ploy / Spd Ploy / Player Preference

• Joint Hone Spd is an excellent skill that rewards Legendary Lyn and her partners for playing off her playstyle of keeping close to one another. Giving a 5 Speed buff to Legendary Lyn and her allies next to her at the start of combat ensures more reliable follow-up attacks for both Lyn and her friends.

• Spd Tactic is the skill that Legendary Lyn comes with on her base kit, and due to the relatively rare nature of Spd Tactic, it can be a solid option if Legendary Lyn is on a mixed team. However, Spd Tactic does not benefit Lyn herself compared to Joint Hone Spd.

• Def Ploy and Spd Ploy can be fairly reliable with Legendary Lyn’s naturally usable Resistance, but they can become more reliable through the usage of Fury in the A Passive.

Sacred Seal: Darting Blow / Atk/Spd 2 / Brazen Atk/Spd / Flashing Blade / Spd Ploy / Def Ploy 

• Darting Blow pushes Legendary Lyn’s Speed on initiation even further, helping to secure follow-ups against even the fastest of opponents.

• Atk/Spd 2 is a simple enough Sacred Seal that may lack in a large boost, but makes up for it with consistency and functionality in both phases of combat.

• Brazen Atk/Spd Seal requires Legendary Lyn to be damaged in order to make use of the boost, but once she has dropped to 80% HP or lower, she is rewarded with a +7 Atk and Spd boost, the largest offensive merit she can receive from a Sacred Seal.

• If Flashing Blade 4 is too expensive for the user, the Flashing Blade Seal is more than capable of handling repeated Moonbow activation duty.

• Def Ploy and Spd Ploy can be used in the Sacred Seal slot as well if the user did not end up running them in the C Passive. Alternatively, both can be run at the same time.

Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -HP

• Speed and Attack Assets are recommended, either to help Legendary Lyn secure natural follow-up attacks as well as avoid being follow-up attacked herself, or to give her counter attacks more of a punch. HP Flaw is recommended over Defense or Resistance Flaw in order to keep Legendary Lyn's raw defenses intact.

Weapon: Swift Mulagir

• Swift Mulagir is here again in order to give Legendary Lyn’s Attack and Speed the bump that they need. The inbuilt Resistance +3 also has benefits within this set as there is a defensive focus built around it.

Assist: Swap / Reposition / Rally Def/Res / Player Preference

• Swap is quite nice here as it can let Legendary Lyn switch positions with an ally that may have been in an enemy’s range before, thus allowing Legendary Lyn to handle the opponent on Enemy Phase instead.

• Reposition will prove to be useful no matter what unit it is on, so this is included as a suggestion. In cases where Swap will leave both parties in danger, Reposition is much more preferred.

• Rally Def/Res can be used if Legendary Lyn is not required to handle ranged tank duty at a moment, giving her a means to boost one of her allies.

Special: Moonbow / Luna / Iceberg

• Moonbow is chosen for consistent Special activations and will activate in one round of combat, so long as Legendary Lyn is able to follow-up attack and nothing is slowing down her Special charging capability.

• Luna and Iceberg can be used for one round Special activations if Legendary Lyn is running Flashing Blade.

Passive A: Laws of Sacae / Distant Def (3 or 4)

• Laws of Sacae gives a boost of 4 to Attack/Speed/Defense/Resistance in Enemy Phase so long as Legendary Lyn has two or more allies near her during combat. Enemy Phase units usually do not have issues in regards to proper positioning compared to Player phase units. As this set has a defensive focus built around it rather than an offensive one, Laws of Sacae has potential for use.

• If Laws of Sacae does not seem promising, Distant Def 4 can ensure that Legendary Lyn does not have to worry about ranged displayed buffs powering up her opponent. Distant Def 3 does not have the ranged buff ignore, but it does give Legendary Lyn a boost to Defense and Resistance without being positioning reliant, albeit at the cost of the Attack and Speed bonus.

Passive B: Null C-Disrupt / Mystic Boost / Vantage 

• Null C-Disrupt gives Legendary Lyn the ability to act as a dedicated anti-range tank that can even bait Firesweep Bow or Dazzling Staff users. This widens her horizons of ranged tanking to more than just those that she can normally counter attack.

• Mystic Boost provides Legendary Lyn some small sustainability, healing her by 6 HP after every instance of combat. It also makes her no longer have to fear adaptive damage and allows her to negate Wrathful Staff.

• Vantage is a budget option for the B Passive that allows Legendary Lyn to attack before her opponent if she is at 75% HP or less. Legendary Lyn with neutral Attack, Swift Mulagir, and Laws of Sacae kicking in will reach a fairly decent 54 Attack before team support is taken into account.

Passive C: Atk Ploy / Def Ploy / Spd Tactic / Player Preference

• Atk Ploy and Def Ploy can provide Legendary Lyn with either an easier time tanking damage or being able to dish out more damage herself. Either can be taken depending on what the user may find more useful to them.

• Spd Tactic, the skill Legendary Lyn comes with, is fine if she is on a mixed team, though again it does nothing to benefit herself.

Sacred Seal: Distant Def / Flashing Blade / Fierce Stance 

• The Distant Def Sacred Seal helps to play on Legendary Lyn’s ranged tank duty, bolstering her Defense and Resistance in Enemy Phase when tanking ranged units.

• The Flashing Blade Seal allows Legendary Lyn to justify 3 charge Specials in a single round of combat provided the opponent is not hampering her Special charge.

• Fierce Stance gives Legendary Lyn more damage on her attacks, which can work especially well when running Vantage in the B Passive.
