Overview

  • This encounter is unchanged from the original Challenge Quest.
  • A challenging fight against Erice, a Lancer with three break bars, who can summon Assassin-class Evil Spirits to assist her in battle. This encounter can technically be soloed with certain Servants (see Video Links).
  • Erice gains unremovable Damage Resist for every Evil Spirit on the field, at 40% Resist per Evil Spirit (max 80%, since she can rarely summon a second Evil Spirit using a skill even if one is on the field). The buff becomes inactive if Evil Spirits are killed.
  • Erice sometimes will use skills that grant a passive buff to an Evil Spirit on the field, which enhances Erice's offensive performance (Crit Rate, Crit Damage, or ATK) while that Evil Spirit is alive. She can use the same buff on herself.
  • Evil Spirits also have the passive ability to stack Max HP Down debuffs with every normal attack while increasing their own Max HP.
  • On both breaks, Erice will summon another Evil Spirit on the field if there aren't any; otherwise she inflicts a Max HP -4000 debuff on the frontline party.
  • Be wary that Erice's NP hits AoE and has a small chance of Instant Death.

Team Recommendations

  • Bringing strong ST Saber damage dealers is ideal, given Class Advantage against Erice. Berserkers also work well. Note the Evil Spirit enemies are Assassins.
  • Make sure to equip the Event Damage CE, Looking up at the Starry Sky on your primary damage dealer! Having it max-limit broken (requires 5 copies) is preferable.
  • NP Gauge / Damage Support for your damage dealer's card color of choice (Merlin, Skadi, Tamamo) is great as always to help reach enough damage to break Erice's HP bars quickly. General supports such as Waver are also excellent, and Nero Claudius (Bride) is particularly strong as an option for this encounter since she also is an ST Saber.
  • If opting for a quick clear, using the Chaldea Combat Uniform with Order Change will help with buff stacking and filling the damage dealer's NP Gauge quickly.
  • For solo setups, the skill cooldown reduction and invincibility on Atlas Academy Uniform help a great deal with the stability of the fight.
