Legendary Eirika

• Preferred IV: +ATK or +SPD / -RES

• Weapon: Storm Sieglinde

• Assist: Reposition / Dual Rally / Player Preference

• Special: Moonbow

• Passive A: Atk/Spd Solo

• Passive B: Lunar Brace

• Passive C: Even Atk Wave / Odd Def Wave / Player Preference

• Sacred Seal: Quickened Pulse

There is very little that needs to be done to make Legendary Eirika extremely effective, which is a testament to how good her starting loadout is. With this set, Legendary Eirika performs as a very competent Player Phase unit.

For IVs, she’ll want an Attack or Speed boon with a Resistance bane. Either Attack or Speed will help Legendary Eirika with her offensive potential while a Resistance bane will not hurt her in any significant way. Storm Sieglinde is a strong weapon and what allows this build to function, granting her extra defensive stats and extra Special charge on her attack when there’s more enemies than allies nearby. As for the Assist, there is no one right option. Reposition is a good general choice for cavaliers whereas one might want a Dual Rally for Arena scoring purposes. There is little reason to swap out her default special Moonbow unless it’s to take a higher scoring Special. Moonbow synergizes perfectly with Storm Sieglinde and Lunar Brace to deliver a very powerful Special consistently on both phases, though consistent Player Phase use will require her to be attacked in return.

All of her passive skills remain her base kit besides the C slot which can be swapped out if desired. Atk/Spd Solo is the perfect A slot skill for her, granting a large offensive boost whenever she is not adjacent to any nearby allies. Lunar Brace is what makes this build so powerful. Not only does it boost the power of Legendary Eirika’s Special by half of the opponents Defense, this damage deals true damage, meaning the extra damage it provides is not affected by how much Defense the enemy has. This does come at the cost of increased Special cooldown, but Storm Sieglinde helps to offset this. With Moonbow and Lunar Brace, Legendary Eirika can deal a Special attack that’s just as effective as Black Luna and arguably better in certain scenarios. Legendary Eirika’s default C slot, Odd Def Wave, is a fine option, but she’ll get more use out of a Wave that’ll boost her offensive potential such as Even Atk Wave. This is not necessary though. Sticking with Odd Def Wave is absolutely fine, as is also opting for a different C slot.

Last but not least, Quickened Pulse is a great choice for a Sacred Seal with this set. This will place Moonbow’s cooldown to two, allowing Eirika to guarantee a Moonbow activation on her first round of combat so long as she performs a follow-up attack, allowing her to use Moonbow immediately against any foe who doesn’t fight back when she attacks.

A different take on Legendary Eirika’s base kit, this set is designed for use on Enemy Phase. While she is primarily geared towards Player Phase use, Legendary Eirika can perform surprisingly well on the defensive.

Either an Attack, Speed, or Defense boon will work great with this set, either to increase her damage output, increase her doubling potential, or decrease her damage taken. A Resistance bane will be the best general option. Storm Sieglinde remains her weapon of choice, granting extra defensive stats and extra special charge on her attack. Any Assist can work well, with Reposition being a generally solid option for most cavaliers. A Dual Rally will also work for scoring purposes in Arena. For Special, Moonbow is an amazing option that synergizes perfectly with Storm Sieglinde and Lunar Brace. However, Noontime should also be considered, having the same cooldown timer as Moonbow but healing Legendary Eirika for 30% of damage dealt, granting her a form of healing without external support.

As for her passive skills, there is no need to swap out any skill unless desired. There are a couple of alternatives available though. Atk/Spd Solo is a great choice, substantially boosting Legendary Eirika offensively. The extra Speed also helps defensively as it makes Legendary Eirika less likely to be doubled. Distant Counter could also be considered, allowing Legendary Eirika to retaliate against ranged foes. Lunar Brace remains the ideal B slot, granting her with a huge power boost whenever her Special activates. Lunar Brace also means a Noontime activation would deal extra damage on top of the healing Noontime itself provides, giving Legendary Eirika a miniature Aether of sorts. Legendary Eirika’s default C slot, Odd Def Wave, is a solid choice, granting her extra Defense every odd-numbered turn. There is no need to swap this skill out, unless one wants Legendary Eirika to grant herself a different stat boost with a different Wave, such as Even Spd Wave.

Finally, Close Def in the Sacred Seal slot will give Legendary Eirika a substantial defensive boost when attacked up close, making it a solid fit with this build. If Distant Counter is being used, Quick Riposte is also worth considering as to ensure that Eirika will be able to always double on Enemy Phase when above 70% HP.

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -RES

• Weapon: Storm Sieglinde

• Assist: Reposition / Dual Rally / Player Preference

• Special: Galeforce

• Passive A: Atk/Spd Solo

• Passive B: Chill Spd / Chill Def / Renewal

• Passive C: Even Spd Wave / Def Smoke / Player Preference

• Sacred Seal: Quickened Pulse

With her excellent offensive capabilities and Storm Sieglinde, Legendary Eirika can make very effective use of the Galeforce Special.

For this set, Speed is pivotal as to ensure that Legendary Eirika can consistently activate Galeforce. As such, a Speed boon is recommended, but an Attack boon can also work fine. As always, Resistance is the recommended bane. Storm Sieglinde is important for this build to function properly, primarily because of the extra Special charge gained whenever she has more enemies than allies nearby. Any Assist works fine. Reposition is a general safe choice for cavaliers, while Dual Rally skills are great for Arena scoring.

Of course, the only Special of choice is Galeforce, given it is the skill that this entire set is based around. This Special, when triggered, allows Legendary Eirika to act again after combat once per turn. With this extra action, she can potentially retreat to safety, get into position for the next turn, or even attack again. With Storm Sieglinde, she can fully charge Galeforce in a single round of combat so long as she doubles her opponent and is attacked in return. This is where the Quickened Pulse Sacred Seal comes in handy. As this grants Legendary Eirika with a free point of Special charge on turn 1, she can proceed to activate Galeforce against any enemy she attacks so long as she doubles without any requirement to be attacked in return. However, past this initial activation, she will still need to be attacked in return to consistently charge it.

Her passive choices are all about enhancing her raw combat capabilities as she cannot rely on her Special for that anymore. Atk/Spd Solo is the perfect A slot, granting a huge offensive boost whenever there’s no adjacent allies. Given Galeforce doesn’t deal damage, Lunar Brace is completely useless in this set besides from Arena scoring. A Chill in her B slot would help her out, with skills such as Chill Spd or Chill Def being strong options. Renewal is a good budget alternative to a Chill, helping Legendary Eirika to stay healthy amidst the action. For the C slot, there are a ton of options. Wave skills such as Even Spd Wave and Even Atk Wave work fantastically, helping to boost Legendary Eirika’s offensive potential without the need for external support. Smoke skills also work nice as she’ll likely be able to affect multiple opponents at once with them. Even Savage Blow is a decent budget option, allowing Legendary Eirika to chip away at opponents around her target.
