Lynn class arrives on May 1st 2024 and there are several events available for anyone about to start this class! Check out the Mayple Island Patch Notes for more details.

If you previously had a Beast Tamer class, you will automatically job-change to Lynn and your old equipment, nodes and items will also transfer.

Lynn Overview

Lynn is considered an Anima class and is very similar to Beast Tamer; using animals to help attack mobs and update your skills along the way. Lynn uses Spirit Guides power to damage mobs, heal and protect party members.

Each job advancement that Lynn goes through, you'll obtain a new Spirit guide that lends their power to you. Pan, Penni and Paeon all combine to make Lynn a very versatile class. The first few job advancements might feel a little slow compared to other classes, however, once you hit 3rd and 4th job you'll be able to have great map control with your main skill Strike. Throw down a Earth Pulverization and you can fight on one side of the map whilst this skill takes care of the rest.

Once you hit 5th job, you'll get several useful party bossing skills. You get the two cooldown attacking skills Beast's Rage and Beak Strike; [Focus] Awaken will power-up a party member to help them with burst damage and then Nature's Grace gives great survivability for everyone in the party with 200% damage shield and a full heal to boot!

The Link Skill stays the same as Beast Tamers, so it's still well worth leveling this class to 210 for that!
