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.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for Flame Tribe Lyn are +Spd and -Res. Flame Tribe Lyn has the highest Spd in the entire game (as of the time of release) at base 44 with a Superboon. Spd is her best stat and is key in triggering her other skills.

Her Res, while decent, is her least important stat and is a safe bane to take.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Flame Tribe Lyn to +10. Spd is her most important stat and should be boosted as much as possible.

Flame Tribe Lyn Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Flame Tribe Lyn Roles

Lyn - Blazing Whirlwind Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Flame Tribe Lyn is a close physical attacker (range = 1). 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.

Flame Tribe Lyn Strengths

Firelight Lance grants bonus stats, bonus true damage, and Pulse effects

Flame Tribe Lyn's Firelight Lance has multiple effects that aid her in combat and support the rest of the team as well.

Below is a summary of these effects

Condition(s)	Effect
Always	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
Flame Tribe Lyn's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to Flame Tribe Lyn during combat.
Flame Tribe Lyn's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Deals bonus true damage equal to 15% of foe's Atk.
Flame Tribe Lyn's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Grants Special cooldown count -1 to Flame Tribe Lyn and allies within 4 spaces of unit after combat.
Flame Tribe Lyn's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat Flame Tribe Lyn's Spd ≥ foe's Spd-4	Inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack.

Godlike Reflexes is a new Special skill that grants bonus damage and has damage reduction

Flame Tribe Lyn debuts a new Special skill called Godlike Reflexes. This is a defensive Special similar to Fjorm's Ice Mirror that reduces incoming damage and deals damage back to her foes.

The bonus damage dealt in this case is equal to 15% of Flame Tribe Lyn's Spd.

One particular thing about this Special is that it only triggers if Flame Tribe Lyn's Spd ≥ her foe's Spd -4. Keep this in mind and do not have Flame Tribe Lyn fight opponents that exceed this threshold.

Verdict of Sacae grants a lot of bonus stats, true damage, and post-combat healing

Flame Tribe Lyn also has an exclusive A skill in Verdict of Sacae.

This skill grants up to +12 Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat dependent on the number of allies within 4 spaces of Flame Tribe Lyn. +12 is a lot compared to the modern skills that can grant up to +9, and the condition is easy to meet as well.

It also deals +5 damage per attack if her Special is ready or has already triggered in combat.

Finally, it heals Flame Tribe Lyn for 7 HP after combat.

All these effects are stacked onto one A skill, making Verdict of Sacae an absolute must-use skill.

Flame Tribe Lyn Weaknesses

Completely reliant on meeting Spd checks

Flame Tribe Lyn's kit is reliant on meeting Spd checks. Having her face a foe where these Spd checks fail will hinder her combat potential greatly by shutting off Godlike Reflexes and the Guard effect of Firelight Lance.

Ensure that Flame Tribe Lyn wins the Spd check before having her enter combat.

Flame Tribe Lyn as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Flame Tribe Lyn has Shield Pulse 3 and Spd Smoke 4 as great inheritable options.

It is currently unknown, but Godlike Reflexes may also be an inheritable Special skill.

If it is inheritable, obtaining it and Spd Smoke 4 at the same time is great value for only one hero.
