While she may certainly benefit from receiving IVs for further stat specialization, Eir can work perfectly fine with a Neutral IV set. This is worth taking into consideration as the free copy obtained through story progression will always be neutral.

- Given that the typical approach for Aether Raids Offense will usually leave Eir seeing battle rather infrequently, one can instead have the princess of death take a more supportive role and boost the performance of the team’s main carries. Although she can work perfectly fine with a neutral IV set, Eir benefits quite a bit from receiving +RES if available to improve the consistency of the mass debuffs she can apply via Temari (and potentially Sabotage skills).
- Fort. Def/Res is Eir’s ideal choice of A slot if aiming to invest fully into stacking her Resistance to further augment her ability to land her debuffs, with the decrease to her Attack being entirely negligible since she likely won’t be engaging with opponents to begin with. If unavailable, Fortress Res is an excellent alternative or if wanting to preserve her combat ability while still boosting Eir’s visible Resistance (though to a lesser degree), Fury can be considered as well.
- For her B slot, Eir has several readily available options depending on player preference:
- Since Temari already applies a notable debuff to her foes’ Attack and Speed stats, one invest further into Eir’s debuffing capabilities either with a Sabotage skill (which shares a similar activation requirement to Temari) or a Chill; the choice between taking a Defense debuff or Resistance debuff, though, will depend on what type of damage the main carries specialize in.
- Disarm Trap is a highly specialized, but interesting choice to safely test out enemy traps in Aether Raids and improve her allies positioning flexibility upon disabling them. However, since most traps are within close proximity of the actual opponents, using this skill does require a bit of finesse to fully utilize and will usually mean the assistance of a refresher or an outside ally.
- Link skills are useful to apply strong bonuses to various stats at once, allowing her to wield buffing and debuffing utility simultaneously; these skills also pair well Smite to strengthen her intended ally while also allowing them to easily close in on the enemies. The preferred choice will once again depend on player preference, but having it provide at least a Resistance buff may be ideal given the context of AR Offense where magical damage is highly prominent.
- Her exclusive Sparkling Boost can be plugged in to provide passive healing support to the rest of her teammates, though this may not be ideal if running her alongside allies who want to stay at low HP like standard Vantage nukes. If one finds that Sparkling Boost is unnecessary, movement-based support C slots (such as Guidance or Ground Orders) can be equipped, or simply any available selection of Tactic or Drive.
- The Phantom Res Sacred Seal fits excellently with this build’s intended purpose, assisting Eir in landing Temari’s debuff and potentially that of Sabotage skills if equipped; this may be of especially high value if using a neutral Eir, since she’ll need all the help she can get in boosting her base Resistance of 31. Any choice of Drive, Chill, or Tactic skill or Guidance/Aerobatics for movement support may also be considered.

- Although this build once again assumes the context of Aether Raids Offense, it’s instead centered around Eir’s place in Galeforce-centric teams by becoming a beacon for other allies equipped with Wings of Mercy, with this strategy being more commonly known as “Eirforce.” A neutral IV set will once again work fine, though a boost to either one of her offensive stats is more than welcome.
- The main gameplan here is relatively straightforward and centers around lowering Eir’s HP below 50% after two engagements (which means that the assistance of a refresher will be needed) to enable her allies to quickly close in on the enemies with little worry, and there’s a few ways this can be achieved.
- For low merge or the free neutral IV Eir, pairing her base Lyfjaberg with Fury 3 works excellently; combined, these two skills will inflict 10 chip damage per combat for a total of a 20 HP loss after her two rounds of combat. This allows Eir to easily put herself in the Wings of Mercy threshold right up until she crosses over 40 HP.
- If one’s Eir happens to cross this threshold (meaning 41+ HP) as a result of being highly merged, her bonus week, or some other factor, further skill investment will be required. The most readily available recourse is swapping out Fury 3 with Fury 4 for an additional 2 chip damage, bringing her HP cap to 48; this can also be done by replacing Lyfjaberg with Pumpkin-a-Box, but it is much more limited than Fury 4 and her PRF does carry other effects besides chip damage.
- For maximum assurance, both Fury 4 and Pumpkin-a-Box can be taken to inflict 14 chip damage for a whopping 56 HP cap on Eir. However, for the majority of players, this will typically be unnecessary as Eir’s HP normally shouldn’t reach such an extent.
- Beyond the self-inflicted damage component of this set, there are other considerations to make. In particular, Disarm Trap is highly recommended to allow Eir to safely carry out her setup without worrying about trap placement disrupting this strategy -- while it is possible to use her without Disarm Trap, doing so involves much higher risk. If unavailable, B slot skills that operate at low HP (e.g. Desperation, Escape Route, etc.) are possible alternatives.
- Using Savage Blow as her designated C and/or Sacred Seal slot is effective to knock down enemies below Guard’s HP threshold -- a skill detrimental to Galeforce strategies -- and allow her allies to potentially KO them in a single hit. Alternatively, Spd Smoke or Atk Smoke can be equipped if her paired teammates are dependent on skills like Flashing Blade or Heavy Blade to accelerate their Special charge. The Hardy Bearing seal also works well to work around potential Vantage units on a Defense map.

- Eir can also take a more generalist approach and focus on augmenting her offensive potential to serve as a consistent source of damage, performing especially well against mages. Once again, Eir will benefit notably from receiving a boost to one of her offensive stats, but a neutral IV set is still plenty workable if the free copy is the only available -- and to that end, she can function quite well with her base kit alone.
- Moonbow will typically be Eir’s best option for her Special thanks to its low Special cooldown and effectiveness against bulky foes whom she would otherwise have difficulty in dealing with. Glimmer is also a great choice that possesses an equally low Special cooldown and scales well with more support/investment to her damage.
- Most standard offensive A slots are a natural fit to supplement Eir’s presence during the Player Phase; alongside her base Swift Sparrow, Atk/Spd Solo makes for a worthwhile consideration for its greater offensive boost and potential functionality in the Enemy Phase. Atk/Res Solo may also be a good selection to specialize the maiden further in her innately notable anti-magic capabilities.
- Her native Mystic Boost synergizes beautifully with Lyfjaberg to offset the chip damage it applies on her and further fortify her performance against dragonstone and stave wielders, safeguarding her from the majority of their damage output via its protection from Wrathful Staff and adaptive damage. For a more standard offensive choice with more widespread applicability, Desperation may be taken instead to freely strike opposing foes without having to worry about being killed in retaliation.
- Her C slot is flexible and can be fit by whatever skill best suits her specific team composition. Besides her exclusive Sparkling Boost, Smoke skills (i.e. Atk Smoke or Spd Smoke since her weapon already applies the other two) are potential candidates if Eir is being provided with refresher support.
- Lastly, any available seal that provides an improvement to her offensive stats is ideal for the purposes of this set; this includes Swift Sparrow, Atk/Def Solo, Sturdy Blow, Darting Blow, and Death Blow.
Strengths
Colorless Dagger Benefits
By merit of being colorless, Eir has the benefit of possessing neutral match-ups across the board (with the rare exception of opponents with a Raven effect), which is useful for more aggressive approaches to her playstyle. Furthermore, as a dagger unit, Eir can also access to a wide variety of inheritable weapons that help serve different purposes (alongside her own exclusive Lyfjaberg), thus granting her flexibility as her role in a given team can easily be altered to best suit one’s needs.
Sparkling Boost
Eir’s exclusive Sparkling Boost is one of the more unique forms of team support currently available, granting passive healing to the most damaged ally on her team at the start of each turn. Not only does it heal for a surprisingly high amount despite being constant, but it also affects allies regardless of how close they are to Eir herself and comes at no cost to her own turn. This healing distinguishes the princess of death as an excellent support to units who want to maintain high HP (ironically enough), most commonly tanks.
Flying Benefits
Being a flier comes with key strengths, including flexible mobility to assist allies and initiate combat from more favorable positions than otherwise possible. This also lets Eir potentially further support her allies with helpful mobility-based skills such as Guidance and Aerobatics; however, this will typically be limited to her B and Sacred Seal slots unless using Sparkling Boost is not preferred.
Flexible Statline
Eir’s offensive statline is actually pretty solid; with an Attack/Speed combination of 32/37, she can assert a reasonable frontline presence, especially when paired with the boosts she can obtain from Lyfjaberg or potentially another weapon. Furthermore, her solid base Resistance of 31 can be leveraged to utilize skills that scale off it (e.g. Temari, Sabotage skills, Ploys) for team support and/or to specialize as a dedicated magic check -- a role she can perform quite well with her base kit alone, and even better with further investment.
Mythical Hero
Eir’s status as a Mythical Hero inherently offers her immense value as a unit.
- Beyond granting substantial Lift gain boosts merely by being present in Aether Raids Offense (and thus making it much easier to accumulate higher scores and climb through tiers), the princess of death also grants special stat boosts to any Light-Blessed allies for every copy of her present.
- While this is typical of Mythical Heroes, the significance of this in Eir’s case is that she specifically boosts Resistance, one of the most -- if not the most -- important stats given the ubiquitous and deadly nature of magical damage on opposing teams. Accordingly, Eir’s ability to supplement this stat alongside Sparkling Boost’s passive healing makes her presence a great boon to tanking-oriented strategies during Light season; however, her impressive build variety and other strengths still impart her with a great deal of utility, even outside of defensive playstyles.
Weaknesses
Horrible Physical Bulk
Eir’s low physical bulk of 49 renders her incapable of dealing with most, if not all, forms of physical damage. Although her exclusive Lyfjaberg can be used to potentially mitigate this weakness at base through its negation of her opponent’s follow-up, it still means nothing if Eir dies in a single hit. As a result, she will usually prefer to stay away from sources of physical damage altogether.
Effective Damage
Her flying status already makes her extremely susceptible to any stray archer’s onslaught, and this is only further compounded by her poor physical bulk to the point that she is all but guaranteed to die from a single strike from an archer even if equipped with Iote’s Shield. Staying away from them will be crucial to safeguarding her longevity.

This character is so edgy, so let's make her even more edgier. Cleaner is a cool knife with sharp metal so it's cool and stuff. Shoving people is cool and edgy, especially when you're in school and kids push you into the lunch table when you're trying to eat applesauce. Dragons are edgy and scaly (no scalies pls). Teeth are sharp and like knifes and have lots of sharpness. Death is SUPER edgy, but yellow isn't so Death Blow 3 is here. Desperation is also SUPER edgy, I know that from experience. On a related note, subscribe to my youtube at youtube dot com slash pewdiepie. Also what's edgier than smoking? I'll tell you. The letter Q. Now we have both. This is so edgy and cool and you should use it to be cool like me.

Lyfjaberg | A | Fury 4 |
---|---|---|---|
![]() |
Reposition | B | Vantage 3 |
![]() |
Vengeance | C | Sparkling Boost |
S | Heavy Blade 3 |
This build relies heavily on the HP loss from Eir's personal weapon and Fury 4, as well as a well built support team with Wings of Mercy. Eir's first attack won't be countered thanks to her personal weapon (Unless the enemy has Null C-Disrupt) and the combined HP loss from her PW and Fury 4 will leave her under the 75% threshold for Vantage, Desperation, Wrath, and very close to the Wings of Mercy 50% Threshold. The ideal turn with this specific build would be one clean kill with Fury, Hone, and Goad buffs and one more kill on the enemy phase using Vantage and vengeance (or any other skills of your choosing). If you do end up getting this turn, Eir should be left with -20 HP without taking any enemy damage, putting her under Wings of Mercy threshold allowing her to get scooped up by her healers and dancers.
This build is only theory crafted as I have yet to pull a V!Greil for Fury 4 but if anyone wants to try it out it might be a fun experiment XD. The main point of the build is to get Eir under the 75% threshold in one attack so B skill, Special, Seal, and teammates are all interchangeable, but this specific build is one that I think is the most unique since I don't really see too many Vengeance set ups these days and since Eir will be losing her HP by 12 with each interaction I figured it might work.
