Got it — let’s refine everything properly under her real in-game name.
Erisa Shinohara is a Heavy-type Raider pilot who specializes in burning terrain control and melt-based fixed damage. She’s a tactical pick that rewards patience, map awareness, and AP management. While she isn’t a top meta pilot for pure burst DPS, Erisa excels in stalling encounters, attrition battles, and Armored Conquest-style boss fights where sustained effects matter more than quick kills.
Mecharashi Erisa Guide
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Role | Raider Pilot |
| License Type | Heavy ST |
| Main Damage Type | Fire / Burn Terrain + Fixed Damage |
| Playstyle | Terrain Control, Attrition Damage |
| Recommended For | Long fights, Defensive or Burn-based teams |
| Free-to-Play Rating | ★★☆☆☆ (Niche pick) |
Erisa creates burning terrain around herself and inflicts the Melt debuff to deal consistent fixed damage each time enemies act. She can also regenerate AP through her signature weapon, turning her into a sustainable controller rather than a direct attacker.
Core Mechanics
1. Burn Terrain
Converts tiles into burning terrain, which damages enemies over time and enhances Erisa’s own skills.
With her signature weapon, any normal attack can apply burning terrain, allowing constant uptime.
Standing on burning terrain grants her bonus bullet count and increased damage.
2. Melt Effect
Melt causes enemies to take fixed damage every time they attack or use a skill.
This effect bypasses defense but can be mitigated by bosses with fixed-damage reduction.
Obtained naturally at A3 talent or through her Melt passive if you don’t have A3 unlocked.
3. AP Management
Early-game weakness: High AP costs, especially on her 6-AP AoE skill.
Signature weapon fixes this by refunding AP (2 AP for every 15 Burn stacks created).
Skills Breakdown
Skill 1 — Burn Application
Option 1: Flame Area Burst (6 AP)
Large 2-ring AoE that burns a wide zone.
Great for area denial but costly.
Use when terrain coverage is essential (Conquest fights, stall tactics).
Option 2: Focused Flame Pulse (3 AP)
Converts heat tiles to burning terrain, extending her coverage.
Much cheaper and synergizes better before she has her signature weapon.
Recommended for most situations to preserve AP.
Skill 2 — Passive Choices
Option 1: Flat Damage Boost
A simple DPS increase; solid general pick if you already have A3 melt unlocked.
Option 2: Melt Passive (for Non-A3 Players)
Adds the Melt debuff to enemies, granting fixed-damage procs on their actions.
Very strong for stall and attrition strategies.
Skill 3 — Ember Dash (1 AP)
Grants minor flame damage and +2 movement tiles after casting.
Use for repositioning or reaching advantageous terrain.
Situational but helpful in boss maps with restricted movement.
Signature Weapon: “True Flame Reactor” (Erisa Exclusive)
| Effect | Description |
|---|---|
| Universal Burn Application | Any attack, even normal, applies Burning Terrain. |
| AP Sustain | Recover 2 AP per 15 Burn stacks created. |
| Extended Range | +1 tile range to all attacks and skills. |
| Burning Terrain Bonus | +1 bullet & increased damage when standing on burning tiles. |
Impact:
This weapon completely redefines Erisa’s playstyle. Her main weakness—AP drain—is removed, allowing her to spam burn setups continuously. It also makes her efficient in both single-target and AoE fights.
Set Recommendations (ST / Gear)
ST 4-Piece Set (Erisa ST)
- Restores 1 AP when hitting 3 or more targets.
- Excellent for her AoE skill; helps with spam-style play.
Rainbow Set
- Small damage boost and reduction at HP > 80%, with some HP regen at max level.
- Decent sustain option but situational.
Best Overall
- If AoE-focused: Use Erisa ST 4P for AP sustain.
- If survival-focused: Go Rainbow Set for tankiness.
- Otherwise, use a Dragon Set for raw stats until you have the full Erisa set.
Weapons, Modules & Accessories
Weapons:
- Dual Flame Weapons (required to trigger her skill effects).
- Current Best: Armor Jammer (solid burning synergy).
- Future Best: Signature weapon + Armor Jammer combo.
Backpack:
- Rainbow Accelerator + Armor (for AP sustain and durability).
Modules:
- Tanadals or any module that enhances AP recovery, damage uptime, or fixed-damage effects.
Accessory:
- Any fire-damage or terrain-control booster.
Team Synergy & Best Use Cases
Best Allies
- Lucia – synergizes via fire or DoT mechanics.
- Support Pilots who extend terrain duration or amplify fixed damage.
- Tanky Frames that let Erisa stay in the burn zone safely.
Best Modes
- Armored Conquest — perfect fit for long endurance fights and boss stalls.
- Defense / Attrition Modes — where burn tiles provide crowd control.
- Not suited for short, burst-race missions — she’s designed for longevity, not speed.
Erisa Shinohara stands out for her terrain control, fixed-damage mechanics, and defensive utility, but she’s far from a universal powerhouse. Her true potential only appears once her signature weapon and proper ST gear are obtained.
If you like a strategic, sustained, and tactical approach to battles — and you don’t mind slower fights — Erisa is rewarding to play. If you prefer fast clears and minimal micromanagement, she’s not worth the pull.
