Lyn is available throughout Lyn Mode. In [[Eliwood]] Mode, she joins in Chapter 15, and in [[Hector]] Mode, she joins in Chapter 16.
Lyn is available throughout Lyn Mode. In [[Eliwood]] Mode, she joins in Chapter&nbsp;15, and in [[Hector]] Mode, she joins in Chapter&nbsp;16. Regardless of whether the player has played Lyn Mode, Lyn will be among the fastest units when available. In fact, she is likely to be THE fastest unit in the player's army. She has no trouble doubling most enemies, and she will never get doubled.
 
Regardless of whether the player has played Lyn Mode, Lyn will be among the fastest units when available. In fact, she is likely to be THE fastest unit in the player's army. She has no trouble doubling most enemies, and she will never get doubled.


Lyn also has the [[Mani Katti]], a personal sword with 45 uses. Even if the player has played Lyn Mode and used the sword extensively, it will have replenished uses in Eliwood/Hector Mode. The sword has 8 might and effective damage against cavalry and armored units. Using this weapon increases Lyn's offensive potential by a significant margin. Since she doubles most enemies, she can one-round armored units and cavalry units with the Mani Katti. The sword also has 20 crit, giving Lyn a decent chance to kill enemies in a single strike.

Despite a good personal weapon, Lyn's offense is not amazing. Her base strength is exceptionally low – only 5 in Hector Mode. Playing Lyn Mode and training Lyn can increase her strength, but on average, she will only have 7 strength at level 10. This low base strength issue prevents her from one-rounding enemy [[Archer]]s, [[Pegasus Knight]]s and [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]].

This low base strength issue prevents her from one-rounding enemy [[Archer]]s, [[Pegasus Knight]]s and [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]].


She can receive the [[Energy Ring]] from Lyn Mode to increase her strength by 2, mitigating that problem to an extent. However, many other Lyn Mode units can benefit from the Energy Ring, and Lyn is far from the best candidate. She may also get lucky with her strength growth and reach one-rounding thresholds. Still, that is luck-dependent and will not happen in most playthroughs.

Lyn's base strength may be low, but her durability is even more problematic. Without Lyn Mode training, she joins Eliwood/Hector Mode with a pitiful 18 HP, 2 defense, and 0 resistance. While she is fast enough to avoid getting doubled, this prevents her from taking more than one hit from any enemy.

While she is fast enough to avoid getting doubled, this prevents her from taking more than one hit from any enemy.


If Lyn is trained in Lyn Mode and reaches level 10, she will have 22 HP, 4 defense, and 3 resistance on average. This looks much better on paper, but she still gets one-rounded by many enemy types in practice. The only enemy types that will not kill her in two hits are the weakest foes using iron weapons, such as archers and mercenaries.

Thanks to Lyn's high speed, her avoidance is high, so she can rely on dodging to survive enemy phases. However, this is an unreliable strategy. Even with Lyn's solid dodge rates, they are far from amazing. She is good at dodging axe users' attacks, thanks to her weapon triangle advantage, but sword users still have a decent chance to hit her. Many enemies wielding swords have a high skill stat, so their accuracy is higher – making Lyn's avoidance less effective.

Many enemies wielding swords have a high skill stat, so their accuracy is higher – making Lyn's avoidance less effective. There are also many lance-wielding enemies the player will face from the moment Lyn joins. In fact, most enemies in ''The Blazing Blade'' use lances, severely impeding Lyn's combat potential. Because of the weapon triangle disadvantage, Lyn cannot reliably dodge their attacks. This makes Lyn difficult to fight with on enemy phase. If Lyn takes more than one hit, she dies – and since her death causes a Game Over, the player will have to restart the chapter.

One could argue that she can use terrain bonuses to boost her avoidance further, but not all maps have terrain she can exploit. And even while she is standing on terrain, the more accurate enemy types can still hit her. Furthermore, enemies in ''The Blazing Blade'' prioritize attacking frail units – units like Lyn. If they have an opportunity to kill her, they are likely to take it. As such, Lyn is better at player phase combat than she is at enemy phase combat.

Line 145: Line 144:
Another combat-related issue Lyn has is her weapon type. Because of the prevalence of enemy lance users, swords are the worst melee weapon type in ''The Blazing Blade.'' Lyn does not gain access to lances or axes even after promotion, so she will wrestle with this issue throughout the game. Swords also do not have a good 1-2 range option, unlike lances and axes. Lyn can never counter ranged enemies while using a sword, making her unable to fight them effectively on enemy phase. This is yet another combat-related problem Lyn has that many other units do not. Even units like [[Bartre]] and [[Dorcas]], footlocked axe users with issues of their own, have 1-2 range and superior durability.

Unlike units like [[Matthew]], Lyn offers no utility outside of combat, either. And as the game goes, more player units gain the ability to double, making Lyn's niche less useful. Enemies get slower over time in ''The Blazing Blade'' due to wielding heavier weapons. There are some exceptions, but for the most part, having tremendous speed is less useful in the midgame. Lyn's combat also suffers when she is not using the Mani Katti. Her constitution is low, so many swords weigh her down, decreasing her avoidance. She may also be unable to double if she wields a heavier sword, removing her greatest selling point. The Mani Katti may have a massive 45 uses, but if the player is using Lyn extensively, the sword will break at some point.

====Promotion situation and post-promotion performance====
====Promotion situation and post-promotion performance====
Lyn's promotion requires a [[Heaven Seal]], and this item is notoriously unavailable in ''The Blazing Blade.'' The player obtains the first Heaven Seal in Chapter 24 of Eliwood Mode or Chapter 26 of Hector Mode. Nearly every other promotion item, even the rare [[Ocean Seal]], is available before then. If Lyn has been trained, she will be stuck unpromoted for a long time. Heaven Seals are also worth ten thousand gold when sold, compared to the five thousand of most other promotion items. This is a minor issue, but it can be a crucial factor in ranked runs. The third issue is that in Hector Mode, Eliwood competes with Lyn for the first Heaven Seal, and he has more to gain from it than Lyn does. Eliwood gains access to lances, an excellent weapon type, and gains a mount, significantly increasing his mobility. Lyn gains neither from her promotion and promoting her takes away from Eliwood's potential.

Lyn gains neither from her promotion, and promoting her takes away from Eliwood's potential. Hector's promotion is not as good as Lyn's, but Hector has access to axes, and is generally a much better unit than Lyn.


Because of Lyn's late promotion, most other units will outshine her before she can promote, even if the player trains Lyn alongside them. That said, her promotion has incredibly good statistical bonuses. It focuses on mitigating her greatest issues, that being durability and a low strength stat. She gains +3 HP, +2 strength, +3 defense, and +5 resistance, among other benefits.

She also gains a D-rank in bows, granting her a 2-range option for the player phase. This is not especially useful for the enemy phase, because melee enemies will attack Lyn without getting countered. But for the player phase, having access to bows can sometimes come in handy, particularly against durable enemies late into the game. That said, there are better bow users available, particularly [[Rath]], who has a mount. The main issue is that Lyn did not need a 2-range option – she needed a 1-2 range option, and her promotion does not give her that. Still, once Lyn is promoted, she becomes a much better unit.

Lyn's endgame performance is subpar at best. She receives the [[Sol Katti]] to use in the last chapter, but this weapon is terrible. It has less might than a [[Silver Sword]] and weighs more than a [[Silver Axe]]. Since Lyn has constitution issues, using this weapon prevents her from doubling most enemies.

Line 158: Line 157:
Lyn's durability issues also resurface here because the bosses in this chapter are immensely powerful. Lyn's defenses will still not be amazing at this stage of the game. Unless the player has used stat boosters like the [[Angelic Robe]] on Lyn, some bosses in the final chapter will one-shot her from full HP. If the player has not been lucky with Lyn's defensive level-ups, fighting any boss with her puts her at a huge risk of dying.

Overall, Lyn has a few advantages: a very high speed value in the early game and a strong personal weapon – the [[Mani Katti]]. She is also a highly available unit, trainable since the beginning of Lyn Mode. However, she has many significant issues impeding her performance. Lyn has a mediocre constitution, low base strength, terrible durability, and poor weapon type selection. Even promotion and stat boosters do not completely nullify her weaknesses. She is difficult to use without getting her killed and has few situations where she excels. These issues leave Lyn as the weakest lord in ''The Blazing Blade'' and one of the worst units in the game.

==Trivia==
* In {{SSBB}}, the NTSC-U version of Lyn's trophy says that she is fifteen years old. This is true for the Japanese series, but in the English localization of {{FE7}}, her age was increased to eighteen. This was corrected for the PAL release.
*In the English localization of ''The Blazing Blade'', Lyn's age was changed from 15 to 18 by changing a line of dialogue with regards to Lyn's mother Madelyn eloping in the past.<ref>{{Cite|{{lang|ja|そうです。 16年前に遊牧民の青年と駆け落ちした、マデリン様への使者として。}} [Correct.

We've come as messengers to the lady Madelyn, who eloped with a nomad some 19 years ago.|[[Kent]] in [[Footsteps of Fate|Chapter&nbsp;1]]|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> However, Wallace and Kent's C support conversation was not edited to reflect this, and still claims that Lyn's parents eloped 17 years prior to Eliwood's and Hector's tales;<ref>{{Cite|When Lady Madelyn eloped 17 years ago, you were already in the knight brigade, weren't you?|[[Kent]] in his and [[Wallace]]'s C support|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> the correct figure according to the English localization should be 20 years prior.
* In {{SSBB}}, the North American version of Lyn's trophy says that she is fifteen years old. This is true for the Japanese series, but in the English localization of {{FE7}}, her age was increased to eighteen. This was corrected for the PAL release.
* In the Japanese version of {{SSB4}}, due to concerns raised by CERO, Lyn's trophy was updated to be less revealing in Version 1.0.6. However, her in-game model was left unchanged.
