“The 12th Battalion's unflappable second in command. She has tremendous respect for Captain Brenner, although they disagree often.

"Keep a cool head."”
—Advance Wars: Days of Ruin CO Description

Lin is a lieutenant of the 12th Battalion and a CO. Her first and only appearence so far is in Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.

Lin appears in most of the tactical sessions in the campaign, simply because she is a naturally talented tactician who gives good advice. She has a sarcastic sense of humor, and enjoys picking on Will, although she must respect him in some way because she was the one who appointed him commander of The Wolves. She is a loyal friend to Brenner. Though they do disagree with each other on many occasions. Lin has trouble showing her emotions most of the time.

Strategy[]

The first thing to be vary cautious of is having a less-than-average 1 CO zone. You need to be very patient with Lin.

The most basic strategy is to attach Lin to a tank due to a balance of power and speed. If you play aggressive with her, make sure your ground units being produced reach the CO Zone for more damage as her dangerous 130/130 ground units will break through many offensive and defensive line ups. Her ground units takes less damage they have better counter-attacks as well, thus better survivability rate and a good chance to merge units to build veterancy for units. You can also position the CO Zone to increase soldiers defense during capturing. Once you've maxed out Lin's zone, you have a very high advantage. COs that do not grant any special boosts to ground units will have a difficult time dealing with Lin.

If Lin's tank is taken down or if you can afford more expensive units, a medium tank and war tank can also work to increase the chances of 1HKOs. Do keep in mind you are exchanging slower speed and vision with power.
