Quick Evaluation
+ Talent: Lin is shielded in a regenerating crystal barrier that breaks and deals AOE damage and stuns when attacks deal enough damage.
+ Talent: Lin has a chance to gain SP when she is attacked.
+ Good choice as a defensive DPS option against ranged attackers, as she will be able to charge her skills quickly and easily mitigate their damage.
+ S3: Good damage and provides a bit of crowd control by stunning enemies in range every time she kills a target. A solid option when you are against large waves of weak enemies as you can continually break and regenerate your shield.
+ Module greatly increases her bulk, which with her shield, makes her effectively invulnerable as a range tank.
+ Module upgrades resolve the cycle time issue with her S3.
- Unless she is being targeted, her skill recharge time is quite poor.

Operator Overview
Lin Yuhsia, daughter of Lungmen’s legendary criminal mastermind the Rat King, has been working publicly as an entrepreneur while she debates whether to follow her father’s footsteps to the Dark Side. Her familial connections, her keen business sense, and her ability to control sand and glass are all factors that make her a dangerous opponent. However, it is that latter ability that interests us most today, as Lin has joined Rhodes Island as a 6* Phalanx Caster who can negate damage with a barrier as well as shatter her barrier to damage and Stun nearby enemies.
Phalanx Casters are Casters who flip back and forth between two “modes” depending on whether they have a Skill active or not. When they are not using a Skill, they cannot attack, but they possess massively increased personal defenses. When they are using a Skill, they inflict true-AoE Arts damage attacks around themselves, but lose their increased defenses.
Lin Yuhsia augments this paradigm with her Perfect Planning Talent, which gives her a Crystal Barrier that blocks all damage while it is active. The trick is, if the barrier receives substantial damage in a single attack, it shatters, damaging and Stunning all nearby enemies. Lin will then be vulnerable until the barrier regenerates (which takes several seconds).
Between her high passive defenses while not using a Skill and the protection from Perfect Planning, Lin is an ideal choice for absorbing attacks from a ranged tile. Even better, she has a chance to gain SP every time she is attacked thanks to her Hidden Talent E2 Talent, making her an even better choice for a ranged damage sponge. And what does she do with that SP? Preferably, she unleashes her Shattered Time S3, which buffs her ATK and expands her attack range (and thus the effect radius of her barrier-shatter as well). But that’s the boring part. The fun part is, she also increases the amount of damage her barrier can absorb before shattering, and she gains the property that she will shatter and instantly regenerate her barrier every time she kills an enemy during the Skill duration.
Lin really needs her Module (which was not initially available upon her release) to be a competitive Phalanx Caster. Her Module increases the activation rate and SP gain from Hidden Talent, making Shattered Time both more spammable and reliable. Shattered Time is a very cool Skill, offering the possibility of great survivability, high consistent DPS, and repeatable Stuns (depending on how many easily-killable trash enemies are within Lin’s range). However, the uptime is quite bad, so without her Module (or without ranged enemies to target Lin and trigger Hidden Talent in the first place), Lin can be quite slow and underwhelming.
Phalanx Casters tend to be tricky to use well, and Lin is no exception. Take her lightly at your own risk, however. A Doctor whose planning is perfect enough to match Lin’s can certainly find good uses for an Operator who comes packing Arts damage, Stuns, and an invincible barrier in the bargain.
Newbie Tier List Explanation
A fine DPS unit for an early roster that offers some ranged tank utility that can supply deployment flexibility/forgiveness. However, her DPS depends on shattering her shields, so she does better in crowds than against single targets, and her cycle depends on her taking shots which makes her relatively situational compared to other Casters.
Skill Discussion
 |
S3M3 | A+ * | A * | S- * |
* Note that this skill is graded assuming that Lin has her PLX-X Module at level 3. If you do not plan to get this unit's upgraded Module, treat the priority of this skill significantly lower.
Lin is a unit who is reliant on her Module to truly reach her potential. Without it, she is nowhere near as valuable. She is very vulnerable when her main skill is up, which already has relatively poor damage and a long cycle. Fortunately though, her Module addresses the biggest flaws of her kit and turns her from a mediocre and expensive option, into one of the most powerful Casters available with a strong niche as an effectively invulnerable range tank!
All that said, it's important not to overreact. Lin is a very powerful unit in the current metagame, but she is reliant on her niche which makes her value dependent on the current game content (notably, she is very good in IS#4). At times she may seem like the best unit in the game, and at others she may be collecting dust at the back of the roster. If there is no range tanking opportunity, she is just another low damage, long cycle, mediocre Caster.
Regardless of Module, S3 is by far her best skill and the only one worth Mastery. It has the best damage among her skills by quite a bit, with the only major flaw being the cycle time, which her Module upgrades address. The damage and minimal utility on her other skills just don't hold up in comparison.
Her other two skills are not worth investment. They did have some debatable utility pre-Module, but only to cover flaws in a weak base kit. S1's modal switch covered her frailty, and S2 covered her cycle time, However, since her Module covers both of those niches and the damage potential on either is far lower, there's little reason to invest in them.

Profile
Lin, full name Lin Yühsia, is a Lungmenite. Her occupation remains unclear, and her file remains equally suspect, owing to how little information she provided.
After the 'Yumen Incident' came to an end, she proposed to Rhodes Island the formation of a formal cooperative agreement, and she now assists Rhodes Island with its treatment of the Infected populace in Lungmen.

Increase Trust to 50.The President of the Lungmen Young Entrepreneurs' Association, Special Guest Lecturer of Social Studies at the Lungmen Union University, one of the Lungmen Federation of Enterprises' rotating spokesmen, Consultant to the Lungmen Market Regulation Authority... All of these titles do indeed appear on Lin Yühsia's curriculum vitae.
With a file like hers, of course we can't play dumb either.
Although we've never had any direct contact with him, we have a general understanding of what a dangerous person 'Lin Gray' is. Although he has always looked out for Rhodes Island whenever we made indirect contact, his daughter has now come directly to us to propose the establishment of a channel to facilitate trading medicine between the slums and Rhodes Island, and even considered having us station medical operators there while bypassing official channels. This is on a whole other level. It was a letter from Operator Ch'en that finally made us agree to this headache of a cooperation agreement.
Disregarding some of the passages that lean more toward her personal feelings, the letter's message is clear: As an individual, she personally trusts Miss. Lin Yühsia, and, as an operator, she recommends that Rhodes Island accept this invitation.
'Trust can be betrayed, but not mutual interest. And when it comes to the treatment of the Infected, Rhodes Island and I share the same interests.' Miss. Lin Yühsia gave us this frank explanation of our cooperation. Regardless, Rhodes Island's standpoint as a medical company and its contradictory ideal of working towards solving the Infected problem will not change. Just as she said, we currently have no reason to refuse.
'Oh, right. If she says anything about mutual interest and trust, just ignore all that. She can be pretty shy.' —Ch'en notes at the end of her letter.

Increase Trust to 100.As Miss. Lin is not stationed aboard Rhodes Island, our meetings with her are limited to our mutual business dealings.
To Miss. Lin, there is nothing contradictory about being a fair, responsible partner while also keeping information from her collaborators. We can always have faith in her ability to handle all sorts of affairs: she helps us sign highly advantageous business contracts at an extremely efficient pace, as well as removing without a trace certain enemies who harangue us. When probed, she also refused to tell us how exactly she handle these problems.
To an organization like Rhodes Island, a partnership like this isn't going to last. However, not only did Ch'en vouch for her, Swire, the current L.G.D. Superintendent, also continues to have a tacit trust in Miss. Lin. Swire may always say 'I'll personally arrest Miss Lin one day,' that's merely something she says. Evidently, the three of them have a close relationship, but they also never see each other aboard Rhodes Island. A peculiar relationship that piques all onlookers' interest. All things considered, as long as Rhodes Island's core objective remains the same, we can maintain our mutual trust and partnership. Indeed, this is how we generally operate with most other operators, and many of them go on to become true allies fighting toward the same goal.
Let us trust her for the time being.
[Classified Log]
'What's this document?'
'Information. These are the records of each and every Infected Rhodes Island has come across in the Lungmen slums the last couple years, their health condition afterwards, and their current social credit reports. And the transaction records of every Oripathy-related medication that Rhodes Island sells in Lungmen.
'This is the reason I made Rhodes Island this partnership offer.'
'You mean... you've been paying close attention to us ever since that incident?'
'It's a necessary precaution, and it's also to make sure nothing like that happens in Lungmen ever again.'
'You understand the consequences your information could bring.'
'Which is why I made sure that no one else could possibly get their hands on any of it when I was gathering it.'
'In that case, why are you handing this over to Rhodes Island now?'
'To show my sincerity.'

We can always have faith in her ability to handle all sorts of affairs: she helps us sign highly advantageous business contracts at an extremely efficient pace, as well as removing without a trace certain enemies who harangue us. When probed, she also refused to tell us how exactly she handle these problems.
To an organization like Rhodes Island, a partnership like this isn't going to last. However, not only did Ch'en vouch for her, Swire, the current L.G.D. Superintendent, also continues to have a tacit trust in Miss. Lin. Swire may always say 'I'll personally arrest Miss Lin one day,' that's merely something she says. Evidently, the three of them have a close relationship, but they also never see each other aboard Rhodes Island. A peculiar relationship that piques all onlookers' interest. All things considered, as long as Rhodes Island's core objective remains the same, we can maintain our mutual trust and partnership. Indeed, this is how we generally operate with most other operators, and many of them go on to become true allies fighting toward the same goal.
Let us trust her for the time being.
[Classified Log]
'What's this document?'
'Information. These are the records of each and every Infected Rhodes Island has come across in the Lungmen slums the last couple years, their health condition afterwards, and their current social credit reports. And the transaction records of every Oripathy-related medication that Rhodes Island sells in Lungmen.
'This is the reason I made Rhodes Island this partnership offer.'
'You mean... you've been paying close attention to us ever since that incident?'
'It's a necessary precaution, and it's also to make sure nothing like that happens in Lungmen ever again.'
'You understand the consequences your information could bring.'
'Which is why I made sure that no one else could possibly get their hands on any of it when I was gathering it.'
'In that case, why are you handing this over to Rhodes Island now?'
'To show my sincerity.'

Increase Trust to 150.Even before she signed on as a Rhodes Island operator, we'd already been very familiar with the name Lin Yühsia. Our indirect dealings with her, as well as all the secrets we've heard from our sources, also more or less painted the image of her as a triad leader. Yet it was only when we finally met Miss. Lin in the flesh on board Rhodes Island that we found out she was not quite the dangerous, gloomy person that we imagined her to be.
On the contrary, most operators who have worked with her tell us that she is very easy to get along with. There was even one who, unaware of all the details, mistook her for medical staff from a Lungmen hospital. Indeed, outside of work, Lin never makes shows of force, and she is very well-versed in etiquette when interacting with others. Compared to her Lungmenite compatriots, the ever-meticulous Ch'en and the swift and decisive Officer Swire, Lin instead appears calm and composed, and she is often praised as the perfect embodiment of the elegance and dignity that foreign operators attribute to the Yanese. That said, her self-control and politeness may also have inadvertently distanced her from others even more.
Occasionally, Miss. Lin Yühsia also displays an awe-inspiring expertise in the arts. Specifically, this includes her skills in Yanese calligraphy and painting, her unique viewpoints on interior design, as well as her mastery of tea ceremony, which eclipses even that of Lee. The glassware she crafts with her Originium Arts are all produced to the highest standards in both detail and design. Of course, to know all this about her, you would have to have built a certain level of rapport with her. If you are lucky enough and just so happen to have the opportunity to have a conversation with her while she is free, you will certainly be astounded by her deep knowledge of Yanese art history. The devotion and confidence she exudes as she discusses such topics show that she did not hone her techniques and eloquence merely for mingling in social settings. She truly loves them.
Given all this, we can't help but wonder: If she have never become the 'Lin' she now is, what sort of person would she have become?

Increase Trust to 200.When Lin Yühsia chose her codename at Rhodes Island, she asked, 'What's Ch'en Hui-chieh's codename here?' After getting her answer, she pondered briefly before writing 'Lin' down on the form.
From what we understand about Lungmen, the name 'Lin' no doubt carries significant weight in the slums. Although very few have met the Rat King, or Lin Gray, in the flesh, the name itself is the embodiment of his order.
And now Miss. Lin has chosen to inherit that name.
We learned of the 'Yumen Incident' and its gist from Operators Waai Fu and Lee's testimony. Based on this, we are certain that the commotion will have little direct effect on Rhodes Island or Lungmen, and thus Miss. Lin approaching us at this timing is more likely to be her own personal decision. Although no doubt there are deeper motivations to it, we won't dig any further.
From the start, Miss. Lin's goal in forming a partnership with Rhodes Island could not have been clearer. The Infected problem is one of the main issues that the Lungmen slums face, but that is not the whole picture. 'My father built the slums in the first place because he hoped it would become something like a hazmat suit to Lungmen, but a lot of men out there want the slums to become an airtight bag instead.' As guests that have resided in Lungmen for some years now, we have a decent idea of many of the complicated and deeply rooted contradictions that Miss. Lin often speaks of. But regardless of the circumstances, she has always faithfully adhered to her promise and never involved Rhodes Island in problems unrelated to Oripathy.
On a certain level, given that we walk the same path—or at the very least, we are business partners that share the same goal—we've caught glimpses of her downplayed attitude as she dealt with the mafias who ignored the law of the land, her chilling aura as she negotiated with the Chamber of Commerce, and the profound grief she's shown as she discussed the problems that the slums face. That is more than enough for us to cast aside our suspicions and work wholeheartedly toward our common goal.
Where there is light, there is also a shadow. This is the unchanging truth. Just as there are those who stand in the light and use their authority to deny the existence of shadows, there are those who walk into the shadows in an attempt to light a lantern, and this is exactly the reason. She truly belongs in this city.

'A bustling night market, crowds of wandering foodies, people going home after work... They're the fruits of your decades of labor. When I was still a kid, no one would dare to keep their stores open at this hour.'
'At least your memory's not bad... You said you wanted to take over for me. If you mean it, remember everything you see before you.'
'Are you telling me this is all my responsibility?'
'We have thousands of households who want only a peaceful life and career, and tens of thousands who need to be protected. Each and every one of them is a part of Lungmen. The same goes for you, and for me.
'Remember this. Duties and people are never to be put on the same scale. Sometimes, it's easy to forget that when you stand at the top for too long.
'That's why I brought you to this stall for siuye tonight, where it's closest to the common people. I want you to take a good look around.' 'And here I thought you wanted a cheat meal after that diet the doctor put you on.'
'Sei seoi neoi...'
'I get it. I've been seeing this scene for two decades myself. This is where my roots are.
'I'll remember.'

| Appointed as Assistant | I can offer you protection, and even handle a little business for you. But you'd better prove it's worth my time. |
|---|---|
| Talk 1 | Rhodes Island's work in Lungmen will remain confidential, but I know that your actions saved lives. I've spent a long time trying to gauge just how trustworthy Rhodes Island really is. As for my conclusion, I trust you had no trouble setting up your office in Lungmen? |
| Talk 2 | I'm sure you've been working with Mr. Lee. You can trust the information you get from him, but there are limits to what a private investigator can do. If you need something outside his purview, you come to me. Don't worry, my methods won't send any trouble Rhodes Island's way. |
| Talk 3 | I just saw Swire here. It surprised me how she was working so hands-on. If we'd followed the dreams we had as kids, she would've become the head of Lungmen's Chamber of Commerce, and I might be a university lecturer right now. You never know... Hm? No, I don't need to say hello. Given her status, it would be inappropriate for us to be seen in public. |
| Talk after Promotion 1 | The coat my father always wears is a birthday present I gave him. I'm so used to the dignified airs he puts on, sometimes I even forget that... underneath the coat is an old man growing frailer by the day. Sooner or later, someone will have to stand up and take the weight off his shoulders. |
| Talk after Promotion 2 | To certain people, the slums are a problem that needs to be solved. To others, this is their home. The shift from 'Slums' to 'Downtown' could take generations to settle. I don't know how far I can carry it myself, but I'll do what I can. |
| Talk after Trust Increase 1 | I've never seen Ch'en onboard Rhodes Island. She has things to do, doesn't she? Hmph, hardly see any merit in recruiting operators like her. It's true that we don't get along very well. But I must admit, she is the one who showed me a different path. |
| Talk after Trust Increase 2 | I had nothing to do, so I trimmed the potted plant on your desk a little. No matter how busy life is, we can't forget our aesthetics. Why are you so surprised? The four arts, flower arrangement, tea ceremony... They were all part of my education. You would never have guessed? Whatever. |
| Talk after Trust Increase 3 | The nightscape here is very different from my childhood memories. Lungmen may be advancing by the day, but it still has its unlit corners... How about we go for a drink together? You can't truly know a city until you've visited its streets during the wee hours. |
| Idle | You can't let them see you exhausted, can you…? |
| Onboard | You and I have probably crossed paths before, Doctor, but we finally found time for a formal introduction. There'll be much more done on the problems the Infected face in the Lungmen slums, now that we're working in direct communication. |
| Watching Battle Record | There are many ways to deal with trouble, and direct confrontation is usually my last choice. |
| Promotion 1 | I sometimes attend ceremonies like these just to make things go smoother. I don't remember how many titles I have. But in the end, I always have to return to the shadows. |
| Promotion 2 | I know what I'm doing, and that's all that matters. At the end of the day, not all honors need to be made public, and not all roads need to be trod together. |
| Added to Squad | You tell me your ends, just don't ask me my means. |
| Appointed as Squad Leader | If any of you have any doubts about the target, this is your last chance to pull out. |
| Depart | I hope I won't have to explain to you what we mean by 'necessary methods.' |
| Begin Operation | It's time to make an example. They'll see what happens when they break the rules. |
| Selecting Operator 1 | Got it. |
| Selecting Operator 2 | Say no more. |
| Deployment 1 | Watch the shadow behind you. |
| Deployment 2 | Let's put them six feet under. |
| In Battle 1 | You didn't think. So this is what happens when you cross the line. |
| In Battle 2 | You want to talk? Too late for that. |
| In Battle 3 | Give me a reason to let you go. Don't have one? What a pity. |
| In Battle 4 | Shatter into pieces. |
| 4-star Result | It better remain a secret forever. |
| 3-star Result | Clean, decent. No one will ever find their remains. |
| Sub 3-star Result | The situation is still salvageable. Leave the rest to me. |
| Operation Failure | There is always a way to correct a mistake. Don't let anger get the best of you. |
| Assigned to Facility | I don't need too much room here, but this place could use some decoration. |
| Tap | You'll need an explanation for what you just did. |
| Trust Tap | Boh loh yau, fresh out of the oven, want one? |
| Title | Arknights. |
| Greeting | I hope you didn't run into any trouble, Doctor. |
