Lyn - Ninja-Friend Duo: Basic Information
| Color / Weapon Type / Move Type | |
|---|---|
| Rarity | |
| What Kind of Character Are They? | ・Refined Tailwind Shuriken modifys Lyn's stats by Atk/Spd+6, Def/Res-4, has a brave effect, and grants Lyn bonus stats and true damage, while also inflicting foes with Spd/Def-5, reducing their damage reduction by 50%, and making them suffer guaranteed follow-up attacks. ・Duo Skill grants herself an extra action. |
Ninja Lyn Skills at 5★
|
Might: 9 Range: 2 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Grants Spd+4. Inflicts Def/Res-4. If unit initiates combat, unit attacks twice. Effect:【Dagger ７】 【Dagger 7】 After combat, if unit attacked, inflicts Def/Res-7 on target & foes within 2 spaces of target through their next actions. |
|
Cooldown Count = 2 Treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 30% during combat. |
|
If unit initiates combat, grants Atk+6, Spd+7 during combat. |
|
At start of turn, inflicts Atk/Def-5 on foe on the enemy team with the highest Atk+Def total through its next action. |
|
Inflicts Spd/Def-4 on foes within 2 spaces during combat. |
Ninja Lyn's Duo Skill Effect
| Duo Skill |
|---|
| Grants unit another action. (May be used only if unit has already entered combat during the current turn.) (Duo Skills can be used once per map by tapping the Duo button. Duo Skills cannot be used by units deployed using Pair Up.) |
Standard Effect 1
| Duel |
|---|
| If unit is 5★ and level 40 and unit's stats total less than 190, treats unit's stats as 190 in modes like Arena. (Higher-scoring opponents will appear. Stat total calculation excludes any values added by merges and skills.) |

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws
| See the IV Checker for All Units | Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs |
When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.
+Atk/-Def
The best IVs for Ninja Lyn are +Atk and -Def. Since her weapon can nail second strikes, and her kit is designed to make it easy for her to nail quad-attacks, getting a +Atk IV would be best in significantly increasing her damage. Her Def is of less importance so it can be safely taken as her bane.
Additionally, her +Atk is a superboon so you should take advantage of it as much as possible.

Ninja Lyn Best Weapon Refine
Effect of Ninja Lyn's Refined Weapon
| Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type) | |
|---|---|
| SP: 400 | |
| Might: 9 Range: 2 HP: Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Grants Atk/Spd+6. Inflicts Def/Res-4. If unit initiates combat, unit attacks twice. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd = number of allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit × 2 (max 6) and disables skills of all foes excluding foe in combat during combat. Effect:【Dagger 7】 For foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, inflicts Spd/Def-5, reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and those foes suffer guaranteed follow-up attacks during combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).  ：500  ：200 |
|
We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Tailwind Shuriken
Refined Tailwind Shuriken improves the stat modification to Atk/Spd+6 and Def/Res-4, retains the brave effect, grants Ninja Lyn up to Atk/Spd+6 and bonus true damage equal to 20% of her Spd in combat.
Refined Tailwind Shuriken also cripples foes within 3 spaces of Ninja Lyn, even if she is not in combat, by inflicting Spd/Def-5, 50% damage reduction shred, and making them suffer guaranteed follow-up attacks.
Refined Tailwind Shuriken didn't receive many effects unlike other weapon refines, but the effects it did receive are all impactful towards Ninja Lyn's playstyle. They all improve Atk and Spd and increase Lyn's overall damage output.

Ninja Lyn Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses
Ninja Lyn Roles
Ninja Lyn is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.
Ninja Lyn Strengths
Refined Tailwind Shuriken attacks twice and inflicts penalties on nearby opponents
Regular Tailwind Shuriken is a simple weapon that attacks twice and modify's Ninja Lyn's stats by Spd+4 and Def/Res-4.
When refined, Tailwind Shuriken improves the stat modification to Atk/Spd+6 and Def/Res-4, retains the brave effect, grants Ninja Lyn up to Atk/Spd+6 and bonus true damage equal to 20% of her Spd in combat.
Refined Tailwind Shuriken also cripples foes within 3 spaces of Ninja Lyn, even if she is not in combat, by inflicting Spd/Def-5, 50% damage reduction shred, and making them suffer guaranteed follow-up attacks.
Refined Tailwind Shuriken didn't receive many effects unlike other weapon refines, but the effects it did receive are all impactful towards Ninja Lyn's playstyle. They all improve Atk and Spd and increase Lyn's overall damage output.
Access to a Duo Skill
Ninja Lyn is the first of many Duo Heroes that can refresh their own action by pressing the Duo Skill button.
It's simple and easy to use, but very effective.
Ninja Lyn Weaknesses
Weak defenses
Ninja Lyn's defensive stats are not very high and considering that Tailwind Shuriken inflicts Def/Res-4 to her and her weapon refine has no defensive effects.
Ninja Lyn is vulnerable to strong attackers, and one hit from any halfway-decent unit can knock her out immediately. Keep her away using her flying mobility to ensure her survival.
Weak to bows
As a flying unit, Ninja Lyn takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.

A problem with the arena build is that windsweep 3 is a 240sp skill, & u want 300sp skills for maximum scoring, usually. A tier 4 B skill recommendation would be more helpful, IMO.
