| Rank | 5 stars |
| Title | Brave Lady |
| First Appearance | Fire Emblem The Blazing Blade |
| Voice Actor | – |
Brave Lyn is a newer version of Lyn. Due to the wishes and beliefs of mankind, Brave Lyn gains a new power and abandons Sol Katti in exchange for her new bow, Mulagir. She also stays true to her blood as a Lady of the Plains and gets back in touch to her tribal roots. She also uses the bow like her father, Hassar. In her Brave Form, she appears as a Colorless/Bow unit.
Stats
Brave Lyn comes with Mulagir which kicks her attack to a whopping 21. At level 1, she’s already terrifying. Her main assets are her Atk and Speed which allow her to outstrip majority of her enemies with a double hit. She can make them eat her attacks from Mulagir while sustaining some damage. However, she’s more of a nuke than she is a versatile hero.

Strategy
Brave Lyn, one of the newest additions, is the most versatile archer among all of the archers. She has Sacae’s Blessing which can render Hector‘s Distant Counter obsolete. At the same time, she has Atk Smoke which has similar effects to Threaten Atk. This makes her incredibly ideal against tomes, utilizing even Swift Sparrow to pluck out her enemies one by one. Brave Lyn has incredibly high speed at the start, fitting for a 5☆ hero.
Brave Lyn also has a decent Defense and Res, allowing her to withstand a certain amount of magical damage. But what makes her terrifying is the bow Mulagir. If the enemy is a mage, all their buffs are nullified which makes her the perfect Tome Hunter. What makes her an even more horrifying foe is her being a Cavalry unit. Sure, she can’t cross forests. But at this point, she doesn’t need to. All she has to do is to shoot you down and go on her merry way.
However, one of the weaknesses she has is if the enemy has a high base ATK or have Specials that charge quickly. For example, Delthea may lose whatever passive buffs she has. However, her ATK is so vicious that she makes everyone’s Res look bad. A well-surrounded Katarina may possibly be able to shoot her down since her buff comes from her weapon – Rauørwolf. Hector may still possibly be an obstacle due to his heightened defense which may not be enough for Lyn to pierce through but she can still neutralize his Distant Counter. This makes her an excellent counter to Fjorm, OG Ike, and Ryoma.
To utilize Brave Lyn best, have a hero with Spur Atk nearby along with a Spur Spd. This will not only assure that she can deal double hits in one encounter. But, it’ll also allow her to strike down her enemies should attempt to hit from range.
Counter
- Delthea – Delthea can lose her buffs and still deal heavy damage. It’s who she is. Her atk literally stomps out the Res of any character.
- Mathilda – Mathilda has Ridersbane. However, this assumes that Mathilda can close the distance. If Mathilda does close the distance however, she can easily render Brave Lyn useless.
- Raigh – Raigh’s weapon is effective against cavalry units.
- Merric – Once Merric reaches 5☆, he’ll have Rexcalibur which deals extra damage to Cavalry units.
- Eldigan – Eldigan has a high ATK which during his turn, he can kill Brave Lyn if within range. If paired with a Olivia, Ninian, or Shigure, even more so.
