Best Buffer for Eirika?

With Eirika's new refine, I think she has become an incredibly formidable and versatile red sword. I have invested quite heavily into my Eirika (Distant Counter, Wrath, Aether, etc.), so I'm really looking to optimize her for my main arena team. I think her new weapon refinement puts her in an interesting position when it comes to comps. She undoubtedly wants to run alongside hone and fortify emblem buff users (for the spur-like effects), but she also would like to snatch up some buffs of her own.

Dark Aura Linde jumped out at me as an interesting pick. Once the inevitable Speed Tactic C-skill is released, she'd be able to buff Eirika with +6 atk/+6 spd, which would be excellent. The problem is, I run Eirika on my main comp, and lack of merge for Linde would hurt my scores a great deal. Right now my infantry user is +3 Brave Lucina, who adds some great spur effects right now - maybe that's the way to go for now...

Am I missing some other options in terms of strong buffers that preferably have some easy merge potential? Should I just skip the whole mixed team thing and stick with infantry? Maybe someday we'll get Hone Infantry...

My vote is Sothe, actually. He attacks, buffs himself, buffs her, and then she also picks up HIS buffs for a +8 in every stat.

Wow, that's a good one! Honestly I didn't know much about Sothe since I have a pretty highly merged Kagero already, but this might warrant some more research. Thanks for the tip!

Brave Luci is definitely the way to go with Eirika the buff queen.

With Drive Speed and Drive Def seal, she can add +3 to all of Eirika's stats during combat, as well as other allies within 2 spaces.

With Fortify res seal, Hone Speed, Refined Sieglinde and Rally def, Eirika can give Luci +4 to all stats by just standing next to her and rallying the def. If Eirika is within 2 spaces of Brave Lucina, Eirika will then get +7 to all her stats since Sieglinde reflects back Hone & Fortify buffs onto her. +10 to all stats during battle, if using Fury!

Now, imagine adding Refined Falchion Marth to the team, and you'd get even more drive buffs on Eirika.

also if you decide to run Brave Luci and Eirika on a tactics team, give Eirika and the 2 other teammates the tactic skills, so Brave Luci can continue to drive +3 to all stats.

I have an lucina ooh erika gonna be killer

P!Azura is a good shout too. She allows Eirika to buff an ally and then be danced, giving her +3 to every stat from Urdr and +4 from every stat for rally/fortify/Hone reflection. She gains +7 to every stat this way
