Why the Erika Salt

I like Erika
- Yes, She isn’t busted but she has a lot of fun builds with her + sol/Noontime
I would’ve her to be mixed phase but she is easily top 5 sword cav and she’ll be fun to use but now broken
- Atleast she’s now legendary lyn who is so badly designed because her low attack +basic special.
With legendary lyn, turning her Enemy phase with Owain Special is probably the best tbh but her base kit is pretty bad tbh for lyn.

1. She isn't Alm
2. She isn't Alm
3. She isn't Alm

These are the 3 main reasons. Again it isn't HER it's the fact that she ISNT ALM. Although her outfit is boring and she isn't very exciting with what she's doing. She has an OP skill? That's about it.

True but she does have a unique skill
I get the salt about everything else but people are acting like she’s complete trash which she isn’t.
Legendary lyn is by far the worst legendary being a colored archer sucks for her And more colorless archer fill her magetank role better.
She should have been more speed if she has that low of an attack

I dont like most legendary heroes tbh. There's only a few good ones I can even think of. Like Marth, Lucina (if you ignore that shes an archer for some reason), Ephraim. I don't think anyone is complaining about her use. It's more of a case of the things I mentioned. There just isn't a lot there that's interesting.

What is so great about a whiny little brat?! He pushed his girlfriend away, went to fight more for revenge that to help people.To top that off Alm has a terrable stat distribution what makes you think that will change much if any for a Legendary Hero ALT.

If Eirika has a low BST then having an OP skill is a good balance. Are only powerful units allowed to have OP skills? That is just unfair to players that like specific characters.

I don't think you played his game? First of all Celica stormed off because Alm was going to fight the war to save Zofia, Celica was going to do some kind of peaceful path. Remember how that ended? And they didn't even see each other in a long time. And even though Celica is the one who pushed Alm away I still like her. I don't think you played the game or if you didn't pay any attention to it. Just because a lord has characterization and flaws for once doesn't make them terrible people.

And he's going to be good because of the weapon. Like most are.
And the majority want an alt for him because he's the main lord of a game without an alt. Same for Seliph, and pretty much Eliwood.

And you think the OP skill is the B skill????? What? No look at her A slot.

It's a lot different. Who wants the Res on that skill? Very few. But I cant even count the people who want Atk/Spd +6 with no repercussions on both phases. It's powercrept every other offensive skill in the game stat wise. When Flora's skill was released people complained that Atk/Spd Solo was going to be released someday, not about Atk/Res Solo.

Solo skills are the opposite of Bond skills. One gives you +5 to two stats when you are close to your allies who will give you further buffs and the other give you +6 to two stats when you are away from your allies not getting further buffs. I never heard any complaining about Bond skills. In addition Solo skills takes out many tight formation strategies for both the enemy and the play on both enemy and player phases. There are draw backs you can't get Hone or Fortify buffs after an enemy phase that you make use of the Solo skill being alone and that leaves you out in the cold support wise. You now have to pull out fast if you can't with stand multiply enemy assalts. The Solo skills are not OP they are just strong in the right situations.

Because with bond skills you have to be right next to an ally which makes it harder to play around. With Solo skills you don't even have to position it because you just have to be not RIGHT next to your ally. That's the easiest thin to do ever. That''s actually how everyone plays naturally. You have to go out of your way to use bond skills. Every situation is the right situation with solo skills. If it were 2 away it'd be another story. And Hones still work? You just either meet up with the unit that attacked or reposition them right next to you the following turn. It's braindead easy. There's literally not one drawback. It's not the best on enemy phase I guess?

Yeah, no. This is definitely far from being true.

She was better as a tome user (really love that version <3 ) and this sword form is a less effective version of L! Ephraim. I would have liked to see her do something unique, like deal magical damage with her sword or something. It's just underwhelming following a red legendary like L! Marth. Even L! Ryoma looks like he got shafted. Makes me dread to see what the next colorless Legendary unit will be built like. X3

I like Eirika too, as well as Sacred Stones, but this Legendary variant looks even less interesting than her mage variant. Her design, like a few of the Legendary units, seems so lazy compared to someone like Ephraim (at least he had his armor color changed), and they tried to make her too similar to him in some areas while making her too opposite to him in others (her Brace being a good example for both).

She's just not really interesting. She's pretty much in the same boat as Lyn's variant. This is the third Eirika, and ALL of them are red units, but at least it's not so brain dead as having three axe wielding Hector's with Armads and Distant Counter, not to mention the 4th blue Hector having a Distant Counter variant.
