In ''Brawl'', Lyn appears as an [[Assist Trophy]]. Upon being summoned, she charges her sword and causes the screen to fade to dark slightly, before teleporting near an enemy to deliver a slash. She usually hits the opponent closest to her. The slash is very powerful (KOing even heavyweights at as low as 35%) and pinpoint accurate (even against a moving or airborne foes). It can also hit an enemy that is edge grabbing. However, her attack can be avoided with a well-timed air dodge or roll, and Lyn will pseudo-self destruct without attacking if she happens to be summoned over terrain that will disappear before she lands. The animation of her slash and the screen darkening is similar to [[Meta Knight]]'s [[Galaxia Darkness]].

If Lyn lands in the spot she was summoned, but lands again in a different spot (like from a breakable block of [[Mushroomy Kingdom]]), she will automatically strike her closest target.

Lyn is voiced by Lani Minella in English and Makiko Ōmoto in Japanese. ''Brawl'' was the first game to give Lyn voice lines, and her Japanese voice actress would continue to voice her in games since ''{{s|fireemblem|Fire Emblem Heroes}}''.

Lyn reprises her role as an Assist Trophy, functioning similarly to her appearance in ''Brawl''; however, she can be defeated by taking enough hits and her attack is heavily [[nerfed]], but has a larger hitbox. While she still performs the same slash, it now appears as a crescent-shaped slice instead of a straight line across the screen.

She can be defeated, just like her appearance in ''Smash 4''. If an attack fails to KO her, she will retaliate instantly. [[Training Mode]] describes her Assist Trophy: ''Prepares and then executes a devastating slash. If she's struck, she'll counterattack.''

[[Training Mode]] describes her Assist Trophy: ''Prepares and then executes a devastating slash. If she's struck, she'll counterattack.''


Oddly, unlike [[Marth]], [[Roy]], [[Ike]], [[Tiki]], and the [[Black Knight]], but like [[Lucina]], Lyn is not voiced by her current English voice actress, {{s|Wikipedia|Wendee Lee}}, who has portrayed her since 2017 in ''{{s|fireemblem|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'' and ''{{s|fireemblem|Fire Emblem Warriors}}''; instead, the English version of ''Ultimate'' reuses Lani Minella's portrayal of Lyn from ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4''. Even more strange is the fact that Lee is credited in ''Ultimate''. Meanwhile, the Japanese version also reuses Makiko Ōmoto's portrayal from ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4''.
Like ''Smash 4'', Lyn's voice clips in ''Ultimate'' are reused from ''Brawl''. {{s|Wikipedia|Wendee Lee}}, who has portrayed her since ''Fire Emblem Heroes'', is credited in ''Ultimate'' despite this. [[Lucina]] is the only other ''Fire Emblem'' character in ''Ultimate'' to not have her current English actor.
