  • Storm Sieglinde, combined with Lunar Brace II, gives Legendary Eirika everything she needs to perform to the best of her abilities: Spectrum 8, damage reduction, accelerated cooldown per attack, true damage based on the foes’ Def stat, Null Follow-Up, and Canto II. Because of how many effects she gains from her weapon and B Passive alone, it’s going to be hard to recommend much since she pretty much has everything she needs. That being said, she’ll mainly want to prioritize her Atk and Spd, especially the latter since she has damage reduction based on it. Even so, there are a couple of recommendations that can be made to help Legendary Eirika perform to the best of her abilities.
     
  • Because Storm Sieglinde has a Special Fighter-Esque effect, her best bet will be to run a four-cooldown Special. However, the options are rather limited given that her stats aren’t that high beyond her Spd. As such, the only Special that could be recommended is Astra. It may be a bit overkill, but it’ll mainly be in tangent with her A Passive. You could also run Galeforce since she can charge it up quite fast so long as she is able to attack twice and if the foe can counter. It also pairs really well with her innate Canto II.
     
  • The best A Passive for Legendary Eirika will undoubtedly be Surge Sparrow as it not only provides a great amount of Atk and Spd but also heals the user if their Special triggers based on the cooldown count of the Special in question. This, in turn, means she’ll want to run high cooldown Specials, such as Astra, and will turn Legendary Eirika into a player phase nuisance as foes will have a hard time taking her down. Of course, since this is an expensive skill, she can always stick with her innate Atk/Spd Solo 4 as it also provides a great amount of Atk and Spd to the user.
     
  • Lunar Brace II is the only worthwhile B Passive for Legendary Eirika as it provides Null Follow-Up, meaning she can secure her own doubles and consistently trigger four-cooldown Specials, true damage based on the foes’ Def stat, meaning she can secure more kills, and Canto II, meaning that she can get in and get out of danger with relative ease. No other B Passive comes close to mimicking a fraction of this power.
     
  • Any C Passive that increases Legendary Eirika’s overall Atk and Spd are going to be desired. Rouse Atk/Spd is a good option as it’s easy to set up and doesn’t require being near foes. That being said, Atk/Spd Menace isn’t a bad option by any means since it can allow Legendary Eirika to increase the amount of damage she reduces with Storm Sieglinde. That being said, both of these skills are relatively expensive, so one alternative is Spd Smoke. This can also help her with damage reduction. She’ll want to avoid running Def Smoke since Lunar Brace II provides additional damage based on the foes’ Def stat.
     
  • Similar to Legendary Eirika’s C Passive, any Sacred Seal that increases her overall Atk and Spd will be a good option. Atk/Spd Solo is a standard option and stacks with her innate Atk/Spd Solo 4 while Blade Session has a higher Atk and Spd ceiling. You can’t go wrong with either option.

Sacred Seal: Heavy Blade

  • There’s not much else Legendary Eirika wants to run since her PRF and Lunar Brace II provide everything she wants. That being said, there is a gimmicky set you can run with her that involves Firesweep S+. The idea is to simply rely on Lunar Brace II and avoid taking any damage whatsoever. Since Lunar Brace II provides true damage based on the foes’ Def stat, she can attempt to take out foes by not only relying on that but also by stacking up as much Atk and Spd as possible. It also helps that it has innate Null Follow-Up and Canto II, meaning she can always double and run away afterward to avoid damage in the enemy phase. It can be a fun experience, especially since the barrier to entry is only 20,000 feathers, so might as well give it a go.
     
  • Given that Legendary Eirika will only be able to make two regular attacks without any accelerated cooldown, she’ll want to run low cooldown Specials that are easily triggerable. This includes Moonbow, Glimmer, and Ruptured Sky. She can also pair this with the Heavy Blade Sacred Seal so she can trigger it on every second hit.
     
  • The most important stats for Legendary Eirika, in general, will be her Atk and Spd, and given that she misses out on the Spectrum 8 from Storm Sieglinde, she’ll want to boost it as much as possible so not only can she deal with her foes, but also meet Heavy Blade checks for consistent Special triggers. As such, the best possible option will be Atk/Spd Catch 4 since it can grant an upward amount of +9 Atk/Spd. Of course, any A Passive that increases her overall Atk and Spd will be a good option.
     
  • Since Legendary Eirika will be missing out on a lot of Atk and Spd from replacing her weapon, she’ll want to make up for that by running Atk/Spd Menace. Atk/Spd Menace not only allows her to output more damage consistently but also allows her to meet Heavy Blade checks much more easily since she’s buffing her own Atk and debuffing the foes’ Atk simultaneously. Of course, if this isn’t an available option, she can always run Rouse Atk/Spd. However, these are the only two skills I can recommend since the rest won’t allow her to perform nearly as well.
     
  • Because Legendary Eirika doesn’t have her accelerated cooldown gimmick since she’s running Firesweep S+, she’ll want to run Heavy Blade so she can consistently trigger two-cooldown Specials every combat.

Strengths

Storm Sieglinde

    Storm Sieglinde went from a mediocre proximity-based weapon to a rather stacked weapon that provides an assortment of effects. Essentially, under the right conditions, Storm Sieglinde provides Spectrum 8,  damage reduction, and accelerated cooldown per attack during combat. The Spectrum 8 allows Legendary Eirika to catch up to modern units and fixes up her low Atk stat. Moreover, the additional +8 to her Spd pairs really well with her innate damage reduction. And if that wasn’t enough already, she also has the Special Fighter-Esque effect that can allow her to trigger a four-cooldown Special on every second hit during combat, provided that the foe can counter and there aren’t any Guard effects present. This, combined with Lunar Brace II, allows Legendary Eirika to perform much better than ever before.

Lunar Brace II

    Lunar Brace II is a stacked B Passive that allows Legendary Eirika to perform much more competitively than ever before. Essentially, Lunar Brace II comes with innate Null Follow-Up, true damage based on 15% of the foes’ Def stat, and Canto II. The innate Null Follow-Up allows Eirika to secure her own doubles, and given that she is fast, she won’t have any issues doubling in most cases. Meanwhile, the true damage she gains can help with her damage output as 31 base Atk isn’t exactly the highest. That being said, it is bolstered from Storm Sieglinde providing an additional +8 Atk. And of course, she has her Canto II, which allows her to act as a relatively good Hit and Run unit, especially with Galeforce. However, it can be stopped by Guard effects, unlike Solar Brace II’s nullification to Guard. Even so, it has everything it needs to allow Legendary Eirika to perform extraordinarily well.

Weaknesses

Legendary Hero

    Due to her status as a Legendary Hero, Eirika will not be able to receive blessing buffs consistently, so she can’t be relied upon as much during each relative season unless it happens to be Water that week.
