[h2]Lynn Details[/h2]
Growing up near the forest, Lynn felt watched over throughout her childhood. When she finally meets the friendly bear, Pan, Lynn learns of her destiny as the reincarnated Forest Child. Together Pan and Lynn begin a journey to awaken the master of the forest and ensure its protection. They are joined by two more critters: Penni the bird and Paeon the wolf.

Forest Child Lynn uses the power of the forest to help Maplers defeat their enemies! As a Magician, Lynn uses INT as her main stat. Her primary weapon is the Memorial Staff and her secondary weapon is a Leaf. Each of Lynn's animalistic Spirit Guides has their own skill set to aid her in battle. Lynn also possesses supporting skills to bolster her allies.



Check out a few of Lynn's powerful skills:
  • Peck: Penni flies about and automatically attacks enemies. Unaffected by attack reflection. Available at 2nd Job Advancement. Max Level: 20.
  • Sneak Attack: Paeon hides in the darkness, then pounces to follow up the skills of the other Spirit Guides. Unaffected by attack reflection. Available at 3rd Job Advancement. Max Level: 20.
  • Roar: Pan lets out a mighty roar, creating a shockwave that damages nearby enemies. Available at 4th Job Advancement. Max Level: 20.
  • Mother Nature's Touch: Shares the lifeforce of Mother Nature with all allies to provide healing effects. Restores HP, removes harmful effects, and grants continuous healing for a set time. Available at 4th Job Advancement. Max Level: 10.
