Brave Eirika

Arsenal of Effects

At this point, it might be more accurate to ask: what isn't in Brave Eirika's kit?

Coming in with a Slaying prf which grants her spectrum +5 in combat buffs and is effective against cavalry and armored units and has damage reduction and negates foes's skills that would deny her follow-up attacks means that Eirika certainly stepped into CYL 5 with guns blazing.

But generalist units need to heal? That's fine - her new inheritable A Slot skill, Surge Sparrow grants her healing based off of her max HP and max Special cooldown. Note that her Slaying prf counts against her cooldown, and so her native Luna only counts as a 2 max cooldown Special. Don't let that get you down though, the scaling of Surge Sparrow means she still heals 50% of her max HP, similar to Brave Claude before her, but even more flexible.

Still, her healing is centered around her activating her Special... but luckily, Eirika's prf B slot, Moonlight Bangle negates all Guard effects, which prevents opponents from slowing her Special activation. Furthermore, Moonlight Bangle grants her additional damage based on her foe's Defense and her max Special cooldown, with her native Luna granting her an additional 40% of enemy Defense in damage. Combined with Luna, this essentially grants Eirika 70% of her foe's defense in damage, just a fraction shy of the legendary Black Luna used by the Black Knight, on the same ridiculous 2 cooldown.

Note too, that both Surge Sparrow and Moonlight Bangle's healing and damage respectively, are flexible around her max Special cooldown. Equipping a higher cooldown Special, such as Astra, enables her to heal 70% of her HP while dealing 50% of her foe's Defense in damage on top of Astra's base damage.

Also, her B slot grants Canto(2), so can move 2 spaces after attacking.

Modern Stat Allocation

With Atk and Spd both over 40 and Superboons in both, Brave Eirika is not falling short of the Speed or damage meta anytime soon.

Vulnerable Enemy Phase

Brave Eirika is a standout unit, but like most Player Phase units, she is weaker in Enemy Phase, where her foes can capitalize on her lesser defenses.

In some ways though, her kit does compensate for this by granting her both a 30% damage reduction from her foe's first attack and allowing her to move 2 spaces after acting, which could get her out of trouble. Still, since she doesn't negate enemy follow-ups, she can be taken down easily by foes with auto followups who can prevent her by activating her Special merely by taking her out before she gets a second hit.

Reliant on Damage Special

Brave Eirika is reliant on her Special to both heal her and do obscene damage to her foes. This is... actually fine for the most part, since she ignores her foe's Guard effects, however, it does prevent her from running a useful Special like Galeforce. Galeforce is one of the only viable player phase strategies in Aether Raids at the moment too, so the fact that much of her kit doesn't work with a non-damaging Special is a bit of a letdown for AR-focused players.
