Lyn is a popular character originating from Fire Emblem The Blazing Blade. She’s a nomadic master of the sword, having an affinity with nature. Also, she was born on the Sacaen Plains within the continent of Elibe. Further, she is the Marquess of the Caelin house.

Known as the “Blazing Emblem,” Lyn’s ring form is ideal for direct offensive close-range and distant strategies. When utilized with characters boasting high firepower, she can decimate enemies, leaving no room for potential counterattacks. For example, enhancing her offensive nature is a skill that summons doubles, luring enemies away and even performing attacks.

Lyn has received one conversation clip and a tweet thread detailing her capabilities, viewable below:
