Lin is a simulacrum introduced in Tower of Fantasy’s 2.1 update. Wielding her fan-shaped blade, she can be a worthy addition to any team comp in a player’s arsenal. However, to unlock Lin’s full potential, you will need to Advance her by acquiring multiple copies of her weapon. This begs the question: is it worth the investment? In this guide, we’ll tell you if you should prioritize obtaining Lin in Tower of Fantasy.

Should you get Lin in Tower of Fantasy?

Lin is essentially a damage-support simulacra. She wields the Shadoweave, a bladed fan-shaped weapon that can deal tons of CC damage and buff the damage output from other weapons. She is the first simulacra with Altered Damage Elemental Resonance. Pairing Shadoweave with any two other weapons of the same Elemental Resonance will grant varying buffs depending on the paired weapons. Therefore, Lin is an obvious choice for any team composition focused on maximizing damage.
