Is Lin good?
Lin actually wants to get hit. Foolproof Plan means she benefits from taking damage, whether that is the enemy's own attacks, damage over time, or friendly fire from an ally like 
Aak, so it often pays to draw enemy fire toward her instead of away from her. Elegance lets her attack immediately and swap between an aggressive stance and a defensive one whenever you need to, and Riving Lighttails widens her range in every direction while boosting her attack once it is fully charged.
She has one clearly weaker option in her kit, though, which mostly stays on the bench once you unlock the alternative.
Weaknesses
- Shelter's damage output falls behind Riving Lighttails
- Shelter is difficult to time well on defense
Profile
