Erika is not fun to play because of Stalker buffs
She gets decent movement speed and is fast in general and strong but her Stalker buff makes her so frustrating to play

You either play by losing all Stalker buffs whenever you multistrike once fully - so you need to move after every attack or deal no damage - using 'Cat Dive'

Or you have a sort of cycling Stalker buff which isnt up when you need it and have to manage it while mapping - using Cats Walk, sometimes as you dash into a mob you lose the buff due to timing and have to then either wait a moment or attack for .5 seconds then start again

I assumed the last passive 'Cats Vision' would give you +1 Stalker stack everytime you finished multistriking so you didnt have to actually move.. but it doesnt, you still have to keep moving all the time

If you dont like watching a buff bar at the top of your screen 80% of the time, dont play Erika

Yeah, pretty much what you said. The class feels very clunky and lack luster compared to all the other classes. It also feels very underwhelming too for a new class. I stopped leveling because imo it just felt abysmally slow while leveling despite having very good movement speed. Pretty damn disappointing.

This is the issue of this game, so many builds are all about stats-stacking and short duration buffs stacking. I hope they will have some new ideas in the future

i hated her while leveling too, but now in maps its ok you get used to how to regain your buffs, as long as you dont stand still for a long time you probably have them anyway

I played Gemma Sentries to 100, Rehan to 96, Spacetime to 94, Moto to 94 last season and their Hero Traits arent annoying like this, they are buffs on a timer yes but you dont need to do annoying ♥♥♥♥ like move 3 metres in game every few seconds and if you dont move 3m you dont get the whole buff

Spacetime has a permanent clone, Rehan had permanent Berserk burst, Gemma had Fusion which just restarted after using skills again. Moto has overload used. Most of these skills you can use them without managing them

To fix Erika they just need to add 'Gain 1 Stalker stack when Multistrike completes' and that means you can stand still spamming her attack as long as you attack fast enough

Literally the character's whole thing is to not stand still.

Yeah while her damage all comes from Multistriking - standing still
