As a seasoned gamer and tactical strategist, I must say that when it comes to Lyn, this Snowy Deer is nothing short of a force to be reckoned with! With her exceptional abilities, she synergizes incredibly well with any character using a Sniper.
Currently, Lyn is among the most recently introduced characters in the action-packed game, Gunfire Reborn. This first-person roguelike dungeon crawler boasts a total of 12 playable characters, including expansions like Realm of Frost and Inkwash DLC. Each character comes with a unique skill set and recommended playstyle. For instance, Lyn specializes in dealing high single-target damage. She also has the ability to create vulnerabilities on her enemies, known as Weakspots, and can execute them if she manages to reduce their health to specific thresholds.
As a dedicated fan, I can confidently say that Lyn, despite not appearing overpoweringly strong at first glance, is currently one of the most formidable characters in our favorite game. With this understanding, let’s delve deep into the character profile of Lyn in Gunfire Reborn and discuss strategies for optimizing her performance throughout a run.
For our recommendations, we specifically selected items, upgrades, and scrolls that synergize with Lyn’s design. Scrolls and weapons that are good on just about every character we didn’t include, since mentioning them wouldn’t really be a specific recommendation for Lyn as an individual character.
Character Overview
A High-Damage Executor With a Lot of Potential
| Ability Name | Ability Type | Cooldown/Default Capacity | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frost Burial | Primary | 10 Seconds | Deal 700 normal damage to the target you’re looking at when activating Frost Burial. The higher the target’s Lethal Line, the higher the damage dealt when Frost Burial is activated. If the target’s HP is below the Lethal Line, the target will be executed immediately. If the target is in a Lethal or Unbalanced state, an additional area of effect burst damage is also dealt. |
| Frozen Grenades | Secondary | 3x Capacity | Throws a grenade that explodes on contact with frost in a 5-meter radius, dealing 500 normal damage and causing a 2-second Slow effect to any enemies in the area of effect. |
For individuals who’ve invested time in Lei Luo, learning Lyn should be a relatively smooth process due to their shared focus on Rifles, Snipers, and Critical Hits. However, while Lei Luo excels at inflicting extra electrical damage on critical hits or scoring crits when missing an opponent’s weakspot, Lyn is characterized by her Lethal Line ability and the vulnerabilities she exposes.
Fundamentally, playing as Lyn involves consistently monitoring your adversary’s fatal move, their present health status, and keeping an eye out for the luminescent weak spots they exhibit. To put it concisely, Lyn’s design revolves around dealing high damage to single targets, finishing off opponents at specific health levels, and hindering enemies with the slowing impact of her grenades.
Weapon Recommendations
No Surprise it’s Mostly Rifles & Snipers
For each weapon detailed below, we’ll delve deeper, but generally speaking, Lyn works optimally with weapons that offer high critical hit damage and enable precise aiming at vulnerable spots on enemies, which she skillfully sets up.
In much the same way that characters in Gunfire Reborn are versatile with a wide range of weapons, Lyn is no exception. However, there are certain weapons that stand out and are worth paying attention to during your gaming sessions, particularly when their engravings are potent:
| Weapon Name | Weapon Type | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Calvary | Rifle | Very basic assault rifle, third shot always auto-crits. Great for targeting Weakspots. |
| Crimson Firescale | Rifle | The Weapon Skill of the Crimson Firescale, AKA the firescale bombs, charge on crit hits, meaning these fireballs will be available for use often on Lyn. |
| Dragonchaser | Rifle | The Weapon Skill allows you to place a mark on anything and have the bullet home in on it, which is great for targeting Weakspots. |
| Revealer | Rifle | Incredibly synergistic with Lyn, as it allows her to trigger critical hits almost 100 percent of the time without even having to aim very accurately at all. |
| Demonlore | SMG | Weapon damage increases on every critical hit, making it a fantastic pick for Lyn. |
| Wolf Gaze | SMG | The Weapon Skill that inflicts Voracity and Howl works well with Lyn’s default mechanics. |
| Icy Spear | Pistol | Thematically appropriate choice for Lyn but the AoE damage makes hitting Weakspots relatively easy, especially when retrieving the ice thorns using the Weapon Skill. |
| Prism | Pistol | The bouncing aspect of this weapon makes it possible to hit Weakspots very often without even aiming for them. |
| Argus | Shotgun | The horizontal spread of this weapon makes it easier to hit Weakspots. |
| Pupil | Shotgun | Charging increases both accuracy and damage with this weapon, another great option for targeting Weakspots. |
| Porcupine | Shotgun | Because the projectiles scatter widely, even with the default fire of this weapon, you’ll end up hitting the enemy Weakspots often without even meaning to. |
| Brick | Sniper | High CritX (AKA Crit Damage) will always synergize well with Lyn. |
| Double Caliber | Sniper | Critical hits return 2 ammo to the magazine, meaning you’ll rarely ever have to reload this gun with Lyn at all. |
| Bloody Drill | Sniper | Sniper with a scope, so it works well with Lyn, but the bleeding effect also is an added bonus. |
| Sting | Sniper | The explosion on this weapon gives Lyn more AoE options, especially if she gets the Snow Vortex Ascension for her Snow Grenades. |
| Strike Wing | Sniper | Gives Lyn some multi-target damage thanks to the additional arrows this weapon creates. |
| Lightning Ksana | Sniper | The scoped shots using Resource Charges to give higher CritX are a perfect fit for Lyn’s playstyle. |
| Rainbow | Spray Weapon | Weapon Skill launches a mark that the gun locks onto, similar to the Dragonchaser. |
| Fire Dragon | Spray Weapon | Flamethrower makes it easy to hit enemy Weakspots many times in a short span of time. |
According to us, we believe that the Double Caliber, Rainbow, Dragonchaser, and Revealer weapons are top-tier choices for Lyn. Luckily, she also has multiple alternative weapon options available should any of these not appear during gameplay.
Ascension Recommendations
Lethal Line Ascensions, Frozen Grenade Crowd Control, & More
Just about every single Ascension option available to Lyn through Golden Goblets in Gunfire Reborn are obscenely powerful. In fact, you can really choose whichever ones you like and you’ll often find success regardless of how well your choices synergize with each other. However, these Ascensions, in our opinion, make the most difference for Lyn overall:
| Ascension Name | Ascension ‘Branch’ | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Blizzard Gale | Shattered Jade | More Weakspot damage and overall damage as a whole. |
| Moon Chaser | Shattered Jade | The auto-target effect for Weakspots when Moon Chaser is activated is absolutely incredible. |
| Ice Crush | Shattered Jade | Makes it easy for Lyn to take out groups of enemies with a single shot and also gives her more ways to passively damage Weakspots. |
| Snow Vortex | Deeper Freeze | Great CC tool and makes any AoE damage that Lyn can output a lot better. |
| Freezing Time | Deeper Freeze | Slower enemies means more control over the flow of combat, and this also increases the damage these slowed enemies take from Lyn. |
| Glacial Sky | Deeper Freeze | Just a massive damage buff to Frozen Grenades. |
| Winter is Coming | Cold Silence | Makes it so that you’re Unbalancing enemies almost constantly, and the effect triggers often due to Weakspot hits reducing the cooldown of said effect. |
| Lethal Chill | Cold Silence | Increases the threshold of Lethal Line, meaning you can execute enemies with Frost Burial even earlier. With the right combination, this can allow you to almost entirely execute bosses at 70+ percent health. |
| Bitter Windrush | Cold Silence | More AoE damage and weak spot damage. |
Specifically, the abilities Lethal Freeze, Snow Whirlwind, and Biting Gale significantly alter a player’s run experience as soon as they level up these skills even slightly. It’s not an exaggeration to say that with Lethal Freeze, many bosses in Gunfire Reborn will barely survive for more than 10 seconds when you encounter them.
Occult Scrolls Recommendations
Just Looking for Anything With the Word ‘Crit’ in the Description
As a gamer, when it comes to handling Occult Scrolls, there aren’t many that I’d actively want to grab, especially based on my current character. Generally speaking, these scrolls tend to be beneficial or only slightly impactful in this game.
Still, the Scrolls we’ve mentioned below (not ranked in any order) are ones you’ll want to keep an eye out for, as they especially synergize with Lyn’s core gameplay loop and can instantly propel her damage to some pretty absurd heights:
| Occult Scroll Name | Rarity | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Emptive Strike | Normal | Synergizes very well with Snipers (especially the Double Caliber) |
| Magic Magazine | Normal | More weapon damage and less ammo usage. |
| Rock-Hard Determination | Normal | With Snipers and Rifles, you’ll be standing still more often. |
| Skateboarder | Normal | Most Snipers and Rifles have longer reload animations, and this Scroll circumvents having to deal with that. |
| Long Shot | Normal | An obvious pick for any Sniper build. |
| Bullet Light | Normal | Lucky Shot Chance buffs work very well with Lyn overall due to her reliable ability to get Critical Hits. |
| Piercing Bullet | Normal | Works very well with Lyn’s gunfire into Frost Burial gameplay loop. |
| Ninja’s Discipline | Rare | More Lucky Shot Chance, also works well since a lot of Lyn’s best weapons have a lower RoF. |
| Magic Watch | Rare | More Frost Burial usage is always better. |
| Final Judgement | Rare | Gives Lyn another way to execute enemies. |
| Coin Shot | Rare | More Lucky Shot Chance. |
| Dormant Bullet | Rare | More Weapon Damage is always a plus. |
| Explosive Bullets | Rare | Additional explosion damage is based off of weapon damage, meaning this is a big damage buff for Snipers and Rifles. |
| Surprise Bonus | Rare | Allows for instant executes on certain enemies (and even bosses) if it triggers at the right time. |
| Ancient Timer | Rare | More Frost Burial usage. |
| Overflowing Waters | Rare | More Weapon Damage and the Frozen Grenade debuff isn’t all that bad. |
| Deflection Shield | Legendary | Great survivability grab for any character that plays from a far away range. |
| Hawkeye Sight | Legendary | Synergizes incredibly well with any character using a Sniper. |
| Dual-Edge | Legendary | A huge damage buff for Lyn in exchange for less survivability. |
| Penetration Bullet | Legendary | By far one of the best Scrolls to get on Lyn due to its Critical Hit synergy. |
| Reasonable Luck | Legendary | Huge Lucky Shot Chance buff. |
| Energy Storage | Legendary | More Frost Burial Usage. |
| Merciless Strike | Legendary | More Lucky Shot Chance on Critical Hits, which Lyn will be getting constantly. |
| Advanced Depot | Legendary | With this, you won’t need to reload at all with Lyn and it also synergizes incredibly well with Pre-Emptive Strike Occult Scroll. |
General Playstyle Tips
How to Make the Most of This Snowy Deer
To wrap up, let’s discuss some fundamental gameplay strategies specifically for players new to using Lyn. This character is remarkably powerful, but the developers might make adjustments if you grasp her mechanics and avoid major blunders. With that understanding, here are some general suggestions we’ve gathered after playing with her:
- Lyn’s Frozen Grenades might seem weak at first, given that their damage is a lot lower than many other characters’ Secondary Skills. However, they’re meant for spawning Weakspots and for CC, so you’ll want to utilize them as such.
- The additional AoE effect on her Frost Burial against Unbalanced enemies is incredibly helpful, but don’t put too much of your focus on trying to trigger it with Lyn. Focusing too much on this will take your focus away from the actual gameplay, and will often end up with you down on the ground all for the sake of a bit of extra AoE damage. Instead, leave it to Ascensions such as Ice Crush for reliable AoE damage that you can voluntarily choose to trigger.
- Lyn is not the ‘up close and personal’ type of fighter that a lot of the Gunfire Reborn cast tend to be such as Qian Sui, Tao, or Qing Yan. You’ll want to stay at a safe distance with this character most of the time, especially on higher difficulties.
- Always try and aim for Weakspots when you can, and try to keep a passive eye on Elite or Boss enemy Lethal Lines so you can execute them with Frost Burial as soon as it becomes possible to do so.
