Tips & Tricks
- Poison resistance, Repel Missiles, see invisible, and high willpower 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 hit dice and lack of poison resistance 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.
History
- In 0.32, she will have less Will (60 -> 40) and EV (14 -> 13). Also, her melee attacks will be nerfed: 15 -> 11 and 4 -> 3.
- Prior to 0.31, Erica was a human. She had less EV and a weaker melee attack, but could cast Force Lance (3d13) and Confuse.
- Prior to 0.25, Erica had Iskenderun's Mystic Blast instead of Force Lance.
- Prior to 0.17, she could also cast Teleport Self.
