Special Moves

22+A/B/C: Air Spike
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	Mid	Partial	No
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	A: 68 [86] B: 106 [84] C: 80 +43 (2Hits 120) [[136 +54 (2Hits 176)]	Knockdown	+50%
	Eri does a flying uppercut. Anti Air. Similar to Eko's 2D. No version is fully invincible, but they are all invincible to throws and the A version is so fast it can be used similar to a DP in most situations. The initial hit-box (close to the ground) does different damage and is air unblockable for all versions. A version is fastest (2F Startup) but the shortest range. B version is slow but has very large horizontal range and hits all the way from the ground. Very hard to air block due to huge initial hit-box. C version is two hits. Has upper body invincibility until active. All versions must be Parried twice from the air.

214+A: Reverse Sobat
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	High	Yes	No
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	75	- / -	+20%
	Eri sprints around the character and does a ground crossup. Has an odd bug against standing blockers in the corner where she will reappear in front of them after the crossup. If Eri is not close enough to the opponent, she will just dash a short ditance. Note: hitbox is actually reversed for some strange reason.

214+B/C: Feather Roll
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	High	Partial	Partial
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	B: 11 * n +80 C: 10 * n +80	Spin	+70%
	Eri will spin around in the air, if it is a ground hit, it will hit twice. VS the air, it will hit up to 4 times. The first three hits of this move have their own scaling modifiers, which is why the less hits the better damage. The last hit is not air blockable and does 80 base damage. Can use assist immediately only if it hits.

236+A/B/C: Bead Smash (Stage 1)
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	Mid	No	No
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	A: 32 B: 37 C: 42	- / Butt Plant	+20%
	Eri charges forward and counts to 3. The start of this attack has 3 versions, which varies the speed of the first hit, A is the fastest while C is the slowest. The special cancels in various ways, below are the follow ups:

+A (Stage 2)
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	High	No	No
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale

+A (Stage 3, after A)
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	High	No	No
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	65	Spin	+40%
	Roundhouse that causes the opponent to spin, ideal for starting juggle combos. Whiffs crouchers.

	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	Mid	No	No
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale

Liberty Arts

236+BC: Stinger Raid
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	Mid	No	No
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	207	Wall-Bound	+40%
	7 hit combo, invincible on startup. Second hit must connect or else the remaining part will not. On hit, can cause wall bounce near the corner and you can perform a follow up combo. If blocked, only the first two hits come out, and Eri will be in 236A->B Rekka state, meaning she can hit A, B, C, 2C for the follow-ups. She can not however use 66.

Strategy

Pokes

Your best jump-ins are j.6A for range, j.A for speed, and j.C as a crossup. There are too many characters with really good one button anti-airs to really approach from the air though, stick to the ground in general.

Eri has lots of VERY good ground pokes. 2A/2B/3B/2C are all very good, as are 5B/5C. 2A stuffs so many ground normals it's ridiculous, plus it's a low hit. 2B induces stagger on Counterhit and combos into itself but requires some skill to reaction combo into a 236B. 3B acts as a VERY long range low poke and is very solid when used with your assist correctly. 2C is a knockdown with very good range and solid damage.

5B is very fast and has very solid range. Same as 2B, you can combo into 236B on Counterhit, but it requires some practice. 5C has a very large hitbox, hits crouching, and gives you a combo on Counterhit. It also does solid damage to their assist meter on block and is just very strong in general.

Pressure/Mixups

Your preferred rekka is generally 236A->B->*, as it is a solid block string, hits crouching, and is very good for dealing damage to their assist and Calcium meters. 236A->A->A should only be used to start combos since it can be ducked under and punished very easily. 236A->B->A 6D is a pretty strong sequence that waits out pokes and mashers and allows you to run in again with another 236A->B->A, or whatever else.

236A->B->C is solid to use as a mixup against characters who can't punish it. It's hard for most since it leaves Eri a good distance away, but it does leave her at disadvantage, and Lilith can 360 it for free. Also, as with most slow block strings, you have to be aware they can call an assist to knock you out of it even while they are blocking. Use it along with an assist (3D perhaps) to make it safer. Similarly, you can use 236A->C and 236A->2C or 236A->A/B->2C as part of a mixup when you can cover it.

On a knockdown midscreen meaty 214B crossup is a decent option, but is easy to parry on reaction. If it hits you get a free strong combo. Be aware though because of the parry animation a crouch parry will actually push you out and make the crossup whiff. 6B can be used to cross up knocked down opponents, but its use is limited. Calling an assist then doing a crossup j.C is also a solid option.

Eri's throw is also very good. You can combo off a back throw at mid screen, and any throw that throws them into the corner. You can get upward of 25% or more damage from it, so it's a very good tool as part of mixups. 2A makes for an amazing tick setup (mixup with 6D~2B or whatever else), as does Eko's 6D or anything similar.

Defensive

Wake up super is a viable tactic if you have a meaty on you that isn't an assist, it is the only move she has with startup invincibility. The super is safe on block, and on hit near the corner, you can land a solid combo that will refill your super bar by up to ~50% again.

Despite not having any 'true' invincibility, Eri's 22X moves are very good on defense. They stuff all throws, and will stuff almost all moves. They are very unsafe of course, so you will want to be careful with how you use them. For Anti-Air, her 22B is generally her best option if done early as it has a huge initial, air unblockable hitbox. 22A or 22C are better if they are deeper, as 22C has upper body invincibility and 22A is just extremely fast.

Eri's backdash is also very good. It has complete invincibility, including to throws, for the initial 17F of the backdash. This means it can be used as a reversal, and can dodge pretty much all normals. Don't be afraid to use this, but be careful of the somewhat laggy recovery.
