Lily Reed is a pilot in Into the Breach.

Location

Lily Reed can be found in a pod or as a reward for completing an island`s objectives without any failure.

Background

Lily was an orphan found at sea at the age of seven (she's now 20), then found and raised by Archive when her makeshift life raft came in sight of their island. Lily was only newly-employed at Archive before she answered the open call for pilot training - some employees may have frowned at her sudden shift in career were it not for the urgency to find soldiers to fight the Vek. Unlike others at Archive who wished to slowly tinker with the Mechs, she embraced her training whole-heartedly, soon learning to use the Mech with one of the fastest training times of any Archive pilot on record. Lily's gone through only a few timelines (or maybe just one) and even seeing the end of the world hasn't dulled her enthusiasm for stopping the Vek. She is a talented pilot and engineer, and her near-hyperactive energy has found a good outlet on the battlefield.

Personality

Really excited. Hopeful and a little silly. Feels invulnerable. Sees it as a game.

Strategy

Can be utilized to great effect with Flying, position-intensive Mechs for a very early battle advantage. Obviously the benefits of this passive diminish greatly the longer a battle drags on. This bonus can also be a good way of quickly positioning otherwise slow Mechs, such as Artillery.
