## **Character Info**

Born as the Chieftain’s daughter of the Lorca tribe, Lyndis spent her early years happily wandering through the Sacaen Plains. One day she found a young tactician named Mark lying hurt outside of her home. Meeting Mark was a turning point in Lyn’s life as she took the opportunity to follow him and train her sword skills so that she could avenge her parents and tribe that were killed by bandits years ago. Not long into her journey with Mark, Lyn would meet a pair of knights who had been sent to fetch her and bring her to meet her grandfather who it turned out was the Marquess of Caelin who sought to meet her for the first time after believing her to have died to the same bandits that killed her tribe.

## **General Information**

### **Entrance**

Florina and Lyn will be seen hovering above the stage atop Florina’s pegasus as Lyndis jumps down off of it and onto the stage.

### **Kirby Hat**

Kirby will have Lyn’s hair and long ponytail atop his head.

### **Taunts**

**Up Taunt:** Eliwood and Hector will appear next to Lyn briefly as they each raise their weapons in the air and yell out a short cheer for her.

**Down Taunt:** Lyn will rapidly spin her bow in her hand a few times before quickly knocking an arrow to it and saying, “I’ll hit my mark” before putting her bow away.

**Side Taunt:** Lyn will raise her sword above her head and point it forwards as she says, “The Enemy!”

### **Victory Poses**

1. Lyndis will be standing in the center of the screen striking a confident pose before Florina swoops in on her pegasus and pulls Lyndis up onto her pegasus as the two fly offscreen together.
2. Lyn will perform a backflip and then rush at the camera with her sword drawn attempting to cut the camera in two.
3. With her back to the screen Lyn will move so fast that it looks like there are five of her all standing next to each other before they all merge back into one and Lyn gives the camera a backwards glance.

## **Moveset**

### **Standard Special**

**Reinfleche:** Lyn will pull out the legendary bow Reinfleche and twirl an arrow in her hands before knocking it on the bow and firing it forwards. This arrow flies both quickly and far however is relatively weak in damage. However the player also has the option to hold down the Special button although this does not change the strength of the attack. Instead, if the player holds down the Special button then Lyndis will twirl the arrow in her hand longer before knocking it on the bow. If a weak projectile were to hit Lyn from the front while she’s twirling this arrow then it would be reflected in front of her which would then give her combo potential to have both that projectile and her arrow be flying forwards at once to hit an opponent. Lyn isn’t capable of reflecting every projectile however as more powerful projectiles like the tornado generated from a changed up Ore Club will ignore her arrow and hit her.

### **Side Special**

**Astra:** This is a chargeable move where how much you’ve charged it will determine how far Lyn will rush forwards for the attack and how many attacks she makes. At full charge this move is roughly equal to Ike’s Quick Draw but travels for a slightly shorter distance. Additionally, as opposed to Ike’s Quick Draw which does one hard attack against the first opponent that Ike runs into, with this move Lyn will trap and carry the first opponent she runs into until the attack has reached its end. Additionally, instead of dealing just one hit this attack sees Lyn swiftly swinging her blade up to five times at maximum charge with the last hit being the hardest and what knocks opponents away.

### **Up Special**

**Swift Sparrow:** For this recovery move Lyn will lead high into the air and if no other button presses are made then that’s all this move will do. However while Lyn is rising through the air the player can tap the special button and if they do so then Lyn will halt where she is in the air and pull out a standard bow which she uses to fire out a volley of three arrows diagonally downwards in front of her. After she fires the arrows Lyn will begin to descend and can’t use this move again until she hits the ground.

### **Down Special**

**Vantage:** This is an Omni-directional counter move that begins with Lyn crouching down against the ground in a similar position to the one that her Assist Trophy takes when it’s preparing to attack. If Lyn is attacked while in this position she quickly dash through and past the opponent that hurt her causing damage, but only enough knockback to cause them to flinch. The player then has the opportunity to press the Special button again when Lyn reaches the end of her dash to cause her to dash back through the opponent in the exact direction she initially came from to deal an additional attack against them. The range on this counter is relatively small however so if Lyn misses on the initial dash then there will be no opportunity for follow up and no damage will be done.

### **Final Smash**

**Pride of Sacae:** This Final Smash will begin with Lyn moving so fast that it appears there are five of her all standing next to each other as the center Lyn rushes forwards. If Lyn doesn’t make contact with an opponent then this Final Smash will end and her afterimages will all fade away. If however Lyn does manage to make contact with a fighter then she and her afterimages will all seem to disappear before quickly reappearing and surrounding the unfortunate player. Each afterimage is positioned in the air surrounding the opponent almost like in a star pattern before one by one each afterimage slashes at the opponent seemingly at light speed before the true Lyn slashes the opponent from above and spiking them downwards. All the while this is  happening a classic Fire Emblem HP bar will be seen next to Lyn’s victim with its HP rapidly draining as each slash hits them with it perfectly synched up so that it hits 0 as the final Lyn hits the opponent.

### **Extra Skill**

**Desperation:** When this Extra Skill is activated a glowing green aura will surround Lyn’s sword imbuing it with greater power. While her sword is in this state, any time Lyn uses a Neutral, Tilt, or Dash Attack two additional, yet minor, attacks will follow dealing additional damage, but not knockback, to the opponent. There is only the slightest change in animation for Lyn when she does these additional attacks as they are meant to be performed so fast that you almost can’t notice. This effect lasts for 10 seconds and after it ends Lyn will be “exhausted” meaning that she can’t use her Neutral, Tilt, or Dash Attack for the next 10 seconds. Furthermore, Lyn must wait an additional 20 seconds after that before she can use this Extra Skill again.

## **Unique Traits**

Lyn is capable of both Wall Jumping and Wall Clinging.
