Eric is a warrior hero in “Zero” who is famous for his defense and counterattack. His tenacity and powerful counterattack ability make him like an indestructible barrier in the front-line battle. This article will analyze Eric’s skill mechanism, equipment selection, play strategy and teamwork in detail to help players better grasp the essence of this hero.
First of all, Eric’s passive skill “Iron Will” greatly improves his survivability. The passive effect allows him to gain a layer of shield when he takes damage. The shield can absorb a certain amount of damage and automatically recover after a few seconds. This allows Eric to withstand more attacks in continuous combat and become a solid outpost in the team.
His first active skill “Shield Shock Wave” is a range control skill. Eric swings a giant shield to release a shock wave forward, repelling and stunning the enemies hit. This skill can not only effectively interrupt the enemy’s skill release, but also create opportunities for teammates to attack or retreat. It is a key means for Eric to interrupt the enemy’s rhythm.
The second skill, “Counter Stance”, is Eric’s most distinctive skill. After activating this skill, he will enter a counterattack state, resist the attacks received for a certain period of time, and cause strong counterattack damage to the attacker at the end. This skill requires players to accurately grasp the timing and reasonably predict the enemy’s attack movements to maximize the counterattack effect.
The ultimate skill “Steel Storm” turns Eric into a fighting machine, enters a violent state, increases his own attack speed and movement speed, and at the same time, ordinary attacks carry additional range damage. During the activation of this skill, Eric not only improves his defense, but also can quickly clear enemies and become the master on the battlefield.
The skill upgrade sequence recommends upgrading “Shield Wave” first to ensure control and protection capabilities, and then upgrading “Counter Stance” to increase the power and duration of counterattacks. The ultimate skill “Steel Storm” is upgraded at a critical level to ensure explosive power in battle.
In terms of equipment selection, Eric’s core lies in improving health, armor and cooldown reduction. Prioritize “Tough Armor” and “Guardian Boots” to enhance survival and mobility. Then equip the “Counter Shield” to increase the counterattack damage and shield strength, further improving his defense and output capabilities. The auxiliary equipment “Heart of the Overlord” can increase the life recovery speed and improve the ability to sustain a long battle.
The rune matching recommendation focuses on health, armor and recovery ability, combined with cooldown reduction and a certain amount of attack power, to help Eric resist damage and quickly counterattack in battle. Reasonable match of runes can make him as solid as a copper wall in battle.
In actual combat, Eric is suitable to stand in the front row of the team and absorb the main firepower of the enemy. When the battle starts, first use the “Shield Wave” to control the key characters of the enemy and disrupt the opponent’s formation. Then turn on the “Counter Stance” to meet the enemy’s attack and counterattack, thereby weakening the enemy’s output. Use the “Steel Storm” in time to increase output and mobility and quickly repel the enemy.
Eric’s battle rhythm emphasizes defensive counterattacks. Players need to closely observe the battlefield situation, accurately judge the timing of the enemy’s attack, and avoid being consumed by the enemy remotely. In team battles, his control and counterattack can effectively protect the back row output and win precious fighting time for the team.
In terms of teamwork, Eric is best matched with support and mage. Support heroes can provide him with additional shields and treatment to ensure his survival; mages use Eric’s control opportunities to output explosive damage. Shooters and assassins in the team can also use Eric’s containment to attack the enemy more safely.
Eric’s background story reflects his perseverance and loyalty. He was once the guardian of the kingdom and was willing to stand on the most dangerous battlefield to protect his homeland. After countless battles, he has become a steel warrior who swears to protect his partners and beliefs.
In summary, Eric is a warrior with tenacious defense and precise counterattack as the core, suitable for players who like to play steadily and control the rhythm. Skillful use of his skills and equipment can turn the tide of the battle at critical moments and become an indispensable backbone of the team.
