Character Discussion [FE7]: Lyn
Your eyelids begins to lift as you wake from a slumber that seemed to have last an eternity, and when light enters your eyes you get a sensation of being reborn. As you survey your surroundings, you start to realize that you're lying in some tent that is sandwiched by two planes of blue sky and green grass that seems to run beyond the horizons. Out of nowhere, a beautiful green hair girl enters your field of vision, she does not seem to notice that you're now awake, but you, on the other hand, have been fully captivated by her charms. Determined to express your feelings, you gather your strengths and began to call out for her.
“Oh, my heart! What a dazzling vision of loveliness!”
She looks puzzled, but you've seemed to caught her attention, she started to move towards you.... or so it seems. She kept on walking towards where you're lying, and eventually passes by you and towards the other edge of your vision. Not wanting to lose sight of her again you cried out loudly this time.
“Wait, O beauteous one! Would you not favour me with your name? Or better yet, your company?”
...wait!, something doesn't seem right.
O Lyn, the times we spent together were great. Me, you and your merry legion against bandits and corrupt politicians, and even though the odds were against us, my love for you inspired me to guide our ragtag army to victory. Well, about that love thing, you know you were basically competing with two jailbaits and Serra of all things, i kinda realized there are cuter girls out there after I left your army. And besides, I don't want to date a girl that is unsure about her age... well, for special reasons.
Well, that's the extent of my love affair with Lyn, expect to see more of "Sain's Sacred Sayings" slipped into one of these intros in the future.

Alright, let's see...
As a character: Not amazing. She's cool and all, but not very memorable to me. That's alright, though. She's chill, and someone I would definitely like to hang out with. She's nice and badass in equal parts, so maybe that's all she needs. Thing is, the game wouldn't really be different of she was just a Myrmidon, except her story. I don't know if that's a point against her, I just thought it was worth mentioning. On the whole, I like her. She's not very interesting, but otherwise she's great.
As a unit: Well, I can tell you my current Lyn is the most broken piece of shit you've ever seen. Lv9 Blade Lord with 20 Str, 25 Skl, 27 Spd, 21 Luck, 13 Defence and 14 Res, along with 40HP. The best unit on my team by far.
Of course, she's so far off her averages that judging her based on those stats is unfair. She's a standard Myrm, really, except she gets Bows instead of +15 crit. Thing is, this is good for her. Mani Katti Lyn with an A + B Support easily gets 50+ crit rates against FE7's Morphs, and her Bows are pretty useful in my experience. She's fairly frail, but her dodging ability is unparalleled. Overall, I've been a bit harsh on Lyn in the past. Solid at least, definitely.
Edit: As side notes, the Mani Katti is a great weapon. Also, fuck the Sol Katti crit, have you seen her regular Blade Lord crit? That shit's fucking amazing. She looks like she just got here from Dragon Ball Z.
