Passive B: Null C Disrupt
Passive C: Pulse Smoke / Atk Smoke
Sacred Seal: Distant Def / Atk/Def Solo
- This set allows Lyon to drastically bulk up his defenses and be a decent counter to enemy mages, staves, archers, and dagger units alike. With Null C-Disrupt in his B slot, Lyon counters Firesweep enemies as well as Dazzling staves, allowing him to take up a utility slot in any team composition.
- With this set, Lyon basically functions as a poor-man's version of Fallen Lyon: lower stats, no damage mitigation, but the ability to free up his seal slot to run a skill like Distant Defense instead since he no longer requires equipping Quick Riposte
- Unfortunately, the defensive effects of his Naglfar refine require his HP to be high - and given his average mixed bulk, it's likely that he'll lose some effectiveness after his first combat due to taking damage. Because of this, Sol is an option to help try and recoup some lost HP on his second attack.
- Bracing Stance is Lyon's best A slot for ranged defense. This skill prevents enemies from charging their Specials on him and doing more damage, while also bulking up both of his defenses. It pairs nicely with Distant Def in his seal slot to give him +12/+12 to both defenses, while his Naglfar debuffs his opponent's Attack by -4.

Sacred Seal: Fort. Def/Res / Mystic Boost
- Lyon can also run a Close Counter build, though it doesn't allow him to stack his defensive stats quite as high. To counter this, he runs Lull Atk/Res in his Seal slot to work alongside his Naglfar tome, which ultimately debuffs his opponent's Atk/Res by -7.
- Because he can't run a Guard Stance in his A slot, Lyon relies on Pulse Smoke to keep his opponents from triggering Specials on him.
- He can also run a Time's Pulse/Special Spiral combination in order to trigger Sol on the first attack after his initial engagement. This will help in keeping his HP topped up for his prf weapon to retain effectiveness, but is somewhat tricky to get it to work properly.
- Luna is a more nuclear option, which will activate on his second attack if his opponent doubles him. This drastically increases Lyon's KO potential, but carries the added risk of him being unable to keep up his Naglfar tome buff.
- Mystic Boost is another option to try and keep his HP high, or you can simply run him with a healer.
Strengths
Workable Statline
At 34 Attack, 26 Defense and 30 Resistance, Lyon has a decent offensive power with a mix of physical and magical bulk. His statline has been powercrept even by underwhelming units, but to those who desperately want to use him, he's far from impossible to utilize.
Good Refine
Contrary to the phrasing in Naglfar's refine, the auto-followup only works in the Enemy Phase. This puts a pretty big damper on it, as it only really amounts to a glorified Quick Riposte. But... Quick Riposte is a staple skill of Lyon's, so having it in his weapon is still one of the best things any fan could have hoped for, as it frees up his B slot to run powerful skills such as Lull Atk/Res.
Weaknesses
Terrible Speed
Lyon's base Speed is terrible at 21, and will likely not save him from any sort of followups. Due to this, he must rely on his average mixed bulk to tank attacks, which can be dicey if he does not have weapon triangle advantage

Naglfar | A | Triangle Adept 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Reposition | B | Swordbreaker 3 |
|
Glacies | C | Atk Smoke 3 |
| S | Quick Riposte 3 | ||
Cheap and effective build for Lyon that allows him to work as a hard counter to several commonly used AR and Arena units.
I prefer to use Quick Riposre in Seal Slot rather than B since Sword Breaker seal doesnt excist yet.
Note: After Sophie got his Weapon Refine and Resplendit attire, she can use the same kit more effectively than Lyon. She can also get a +Atk/-Spd IVs to further improve the build.

Newly Updated Lyon at +7 and has summoner support. Ultimate anti-horse unit. If you don't want to give him Close Counter, give him Mirror stance to survive chill res Reinhardt. He screws over Veronica, and Firesweep Lyn,and survives just about all horse mages depending on support. Really fun to use.

Kills all grey units (except innes) and sword units if he can attack first. Glimmer is quicker than iceberg and will confirm ORKOs on many units that Lyon comes close to killing in one shot/round, but just doesn't make it. Pairs well with green units who can help take out blue units.

The recommended Raven tome build for Lyon, that is able to tackle most colorless, green and red sword units easily. Currently he is the focus of my merge project, so his stats will change soon enough.
Naglfar is Lyon's own Raven tome that is a lot stronger than a regular Raven tome, and aids him in being able to take on colorless units like Brave Lyn and Halloween Jakob. Triangle Adept increases his power not only against colorless units, but also green units as well.
Swordbreaker allows Lyon to double Red sword units while his HP is above 50%, and allows Lyon to have an advantage against three different unit types, more than most other units in the game cannot have.
Atk Smoke allows Lyon to reduce the attack of any units in a 2-space vicinity of him by -7, allowing him to be slightly more bulky should he be in range of a physical unit.
Quick Riposte allows Lyon to attack twice on an enemy unit while his HP is above 70%, to make up for his bad Speed stat.

Iceberg | C | Drive Res 2 |
| S | Close Def 3 | ||
(Stats factor in summoner support, as my Lyon has it) A high investment build that capitalises on Lyon's defensive prowess. Close Counter and Close Defense seal allow him to both tank and retaliate against melee units, granting him a defensive statline of 34/38 against them. Guard may seem like a niche pick, but being able to take on powerful foes with charged specials such as Vantage Hector without risk of losing that precious deathless run is invaluable. Drive Res is just his default C skill and is useful for the other members of my team. Rally Spd/Res is for arena scoring purposes and Iceberg is just a reliable 16 point damage increase.
