Analysis

Review

Erica is a Light Ranger who specializes in assassinating important targets. While she is capable of doing some AOE damage, her single target skills - Cruel Shot and Vigilant Shot - can one-shot a lot of squishier enemies and make the sturdier ones easier to kill as she will lower their PDEF and convert buffs into debuffs. This doesn't mean her AOE damage is bad, as you can for sure play her in that role, just that it isn't what she excels at.

As Erica's element is Light, she doesn't have to worry about the classic elemental wheel and deal full damage to Fire/Water/Lightning enemies, and increased damage against Dark enemies. Still, her base stats are lower to balance the versatility, so she requires more gear and traits to shine. But if you provide it to her, she is really scary - especially in PVP.

Also, her Unique Weapon gives her a massive boost, increasing her range by 1, and is among the most game-changing weapons you can get.

Overall, Erica is a decent damage dealer that excels at killing MVP targets and bosses.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • great single-target damage,

  • can convert buffs on enemies into debuffs,

  • really high range (especially when you get her Unique Weapon),

  • Light element makes her more flexible.

Cons

  • lacks a bit of AOE,

  • to unlock her full potential, you really want to have her Unique Weapon.

Build tips and runes

Build tips

  • early game - Weakening Shot + Precise Step + Arrow Rain

  • late game - Weakening Shot / Helping Hand + Precise Step + Cruel Shot

Runes

  • 4x Gladiator + 2x Battle Axe

  • 4x Battle Axe + 2x Gladiator

The first setup is better when your Erica is already strong as it makes it easier for her to one-shot enemies. Otherwise, the second setup is safer.

For secondary stats, aim for: PATK, PDMG UP, CRIT.
