Tips & Tricks

  • Poison resistance, Repel Missiles, see invisible, and high MR will counter most of her spells, but that's a lot to ask for. She's flimsy, so a strong offense that takes her out quickly may be the best defense.
  • Her mediocre HD make her susceptible to Mephitic Cloud.
  • Erica is commonly encountered in the Lair. If you already have some skill in Long Blades, her flaming scimitar is a good choice for fighting the hydras you'll find there.
