Hey Hypers,

Get ready to dash into battle with Lyn! She is an extremely mobile Striker who no one will be able to escape. Lyn will be added to the game as part of our 4.2 patch on March 15th.

SKILL OVERVIEW

Passive - Mana Infusion (A)
Fills the dual crossbows with Mana to receive Max Mana-based Attack effects. Lyn’s default Mana Regen is 0. Instead, her Max Mana will permanently increase whenever she defeats enemy Hypers.

Mana Bolts (A)
  • Infuses crossbow bolts with Mana to apply special effects on Regular Attack and her attack skills.
    • Can toggle on or off by pressing the skill key.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUMmlPd5d_s

Rapid Shot (Q)
  • Fires 4 quick crossbow bolts forward, doing damage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej3U7-z1JJc

Draining Shot (W)
  • Shoots arrows that steal the enemy’s Mana. On hit, they do damage and decrease enemy Mana while restoring your Mana.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9JwmVQzcMg

Mana Battery (E)
  • Consumes Health to restore Mana. Cannot be used if Lyn’s Health is low.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3cBuIlBT4M

Shift (R)
  • Consumes 1 Mana Orb to dash forward.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wmXri1SCLM

Using Lyn’s Skills Effectively:

Lyn is going to be a tough one. Lyn excels at quickly moving around the battlefield using her Shift ability. This will be the crux of her entire playstyle. Lyn is balanced around using her Mana Bolts at key times to do the most amount of damage in a team or solo fight. You’ll want to carefully choose when you activate the ability as it will drain your Mana very quickly in drawn out encounters. This is balanced with her Mana Battery ability that allows her to sap her own health in order to restore extra Mana. She will not be able to use Mana Battery if he health is too low though, so keep that in mind. When you are getting ready to join in a team fight be ready to activate Mana Bolts and then quickly use both Rapid Shot and Draining Shot. This should quickly reduce the enemies health down to 0. If you need to run just make sure that you have one of your two charges on Shift and you should be safe!

Recommended Build:

Mana Crystal Crossbow, Tears of Eldora, Plasma Cutter, Enchanted Tunic, Enchanted Vambrace, Superconductive Boots

Lyn gets bonus attack from her maximum Mana so building items that focus on that is key. All of the items in the build above give some form of maximum Mana or damage, both of which you’ll need to survive on the battlefield. Lyn’s unique items are all very useful in different circumstances so experiment to see which work out the best for you and your playstyle. You can always check the box in “All Items” to see which give maximum Mana. Try out some new combinations to see what works for you!

Not sure what to build? As always, you can hop into our Discord to discuss itemization with other players.

Skin Preview:

Original Skin - Eldora's Chosen


Recolor Skin - Eldora's Fire


Mastery Skin - Ashen Hunter


Premium Skin - Blue Night Fog


You can blast into the battlefield with Lyn for a mere 15,000 GP or use a Hyper Coupon, which you can earn by leveling up and playing games.

Remember: The shadow of death moves swiftly!
