Ougon Musou Kyoku/Erika Furudo

Erika Furudo

Background

A piece introduced in the gameboard of End of Golden Witch by Bernkastel, she's the detective and self-promoted "intellectual rapist". At the end of Episode 5, she was named the "Witch of Truth" by Bernkastel, but was stripped of the title shortly after by Battler, who had ascended to Endless Sorcerer.

Introduction

Erika is an easy character to pick up, but very hard to master. She has a very strong neutral game and mixups but low damage output.

Health = 1300

Pros :
+ Has a double jump
+ Has huge normals, controls space easily
+ Excellent air game due to her double jump
+ Excellent ground game due to her amazing ground normals
+ Has good matchups against zoners because of her mobility

Cons :
- Low HP
- Very bad defensive options, does not even have a proper reversal
- Low damage output due to limited combo ability anywhere but in the corner

Known Changes

Patch 2.10:

6A can now be jump cancelled on hit/block and SP2 damage has been reduced.
Patch 2.30:

Damage on Metasuper has been adjusted from 801 to 999.

Ability

Force Counter
Every hit registers as a counter hit. (Only the first hit of a combo counts.)
