Erika build opinion

I have a -HP/+ATK Erika, which is pretty good I believe. Though she's meant to be more of a buffer than a fighter, she IS the only sworduser I have on the team atm, so I'd like to build her good for combat.

I'd like an opinion on my current build and on whether I should have her use Darting Blow 3 or Triangle Adept 3, plus any other helpful advice. Currently bonding with Nino.

I'm not really a big fan of darting blow. Considering you have swordbreaker you'll already double swordusers, her color advantage should keep axe users in check (in fact, she'll outspeed most of them and those that she can't outspeed most likely won't double her). It could be good against couple of mages, but in arena you either see Nino (ultra fast) or Reinhardt (ultra slow). So in conclusion Darting blow is not going to bring that much imho. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.

For arena purposes, fury is the best choice, because you'll just complete one fight and you can enter the next one with full hp again. It's obviously not ideal for TT and Chain challenges where you have to pay attention to your hp since your hp doesn't reset. For those situations keeping Darting blow will be better.

Sound advice, thnx. I'll see to these changes

I'm a huge Eirika enthusiast, and have the same IV as you, only now I've merged her 4 times, have her as my Summoner Support unit, and she has Distant Counter =D

Before I went bat-crazy on her, I was running with Sturdy Blow and Swordbreaker. Yes, that was even quite the investment, but she was an excellent sword duelist and the extra defense also helped with taking down green axe users. Run with quickened pulse/infantry pulse and moonbow and she can take down Hector.

Darting Blow sort of runs against many of the common initiations you'll be looking for. Reds you'll automatically double with breaker, making her speed obsolete, and a lot of the greens she will be fighting are slow. Triangle Adept is the better of the two in my opinion, since it'll help with Hector. Fury works as well, but as my recent thread indicates, it's not my favorite option.

Sack a Roderick for his Rally Def/Res and you can buff 5x with her. I prefer Fury just for the extra bulk if she does happen to get sniped.

That actually sounds really good, thnx

Mine has similar Ivs, i have +atk -res, and runs with fury+swordbreaker, doing very well.
She rarely enters combat anyways, except to kill Hector/Bike, or maybe a random sword that lancina cant deal with cause shes busy elsewhere.
