This post has been somewhat inspired by FionordeQuester's recent guide to S-ranking LHM while getting Nils to level 7. S-ranking Lyn Mode alone is not a very challenging feat, regardless of the difficulty. However, achieving all of the tactician stars is a bit more difficult, due to some rather insane funds/EXP requirements for certain chapters (in particular, Chapter 2, where you can spend at most 60G worth of weapon uses and need to gain 200 EXP, which turns out to just barely be possible). This guide will aim to give a step-by-step walkthrough of how to get all 60 nice stars for Lyn Normal Mode on your ranking screen. Rules: - No RNG abuse, with the exception of Chapter 2, where it is necessary to rig every critical hit. - Before each chapter, a hard reset is done to bring the RNG back to its initial position for consistency. - All cutscenes will be skipped (Start) in order to avoid the burning of extra RNs during scenes with movement on the map.
- Aim for lowest turn counts possible while meeting 5-star requirements.
- All treasure obtained, all bosses killed (in other words a complete playthrough). Possibly something related to steals.
My aim for this guide is for anyone who reads it to be able to achieve the same result simply by mimicking the playthrough given here, so if anything is unclear, or if you find something to be incorrect, don't hesitate to let me know!
Alright then, let's get started! The save file I end up with in this run may be used in a future LNM+ENM Max Tactician Stars run, so I will keep that in the back of my mind while doing this.
EDIT: Updated to include new rules!
