Auto-attacks are the damage source, so attack speed and movement speed translate directly into kiting.

Counters & Synergies

Countered By

LamLam's Death From Below slows everyone in the dagger's path, then dashes and drags them to where it landed. Erin's Skill 2 only makes her immune to slows, not to displacement, so she is hauled into his range before her speed boost can open the gap.

Mai ShiranuiMai Shiranui can throw KACHOUSEN every 3s, slowing hard on hit and cutting 50 magical defense for 3s. Skill 1's dash launches Erin for 0.75s, and her ultimate knocks her back while reducing physical attack by 20% for 2.5s, breaking Erin's rhythm before it builds.

Best Synergy

DunDun's Unruly Blade stuns the first enemy it hits for 1s and pulls him to the front, and the second cast of Wind Slash launches for another 1s. Against enemies pinned like that, Erin's enhanced Basic Attacks and laurel leaves land from the back line without her stepping up.

Xiang YuXiang Yu's Righteous Fervor charges in, knocking enemies back and launching them for 0.75s, which peels divers off Erin. No Retreat then cuts enemy damage output by 30% for 3.5s, so the shots that do reach her hurt far less.

Countered-by and synergy picks are this site's own reading, based on each hero's kit. What the official app publishes is how often heroes are picked together (see "Frequently Paired With" below); it does not publish any rating of how well they match up.

SlowDamage

Erin shoots a laurel leaf, dealing 510 (510 + 115% extra physical attack + 100% magical attack) magical damage to enemies hit and gaining a stack of Laurel. Upon hitting an enemy hero or flying to its maximum range, the leaf starts flying in a circle, and enemies that come into contact with the circle take 170 (170 + 38% extra physical attack + 33% magical attack) magical damage and are slowed by 15% for 1s.

Strategy Guide

Playstyle

An elven archer cycling energy and laurel marks to keep her empowered shots flowing. When the gears mesh her damage soars; when management slips, the whole engine audibly stalls.

Best for: Players who enjoy keeping resource gears meshed — where tidiness of play converts directly into consistent damage.

Recommended Combos

Six Laurels to Open Skill 3

Skill 1 (Laurel 1 on hit + 15% slow ring at Lvl 1) → Basic Attacks until Energy fills (Laurel 2 + next attack enhanced) → Enhanced Basic Attack → Energy fills again (Laurel 3) → Skill 2 (full Energy refill, Laurels 4 and 5) → Energy fills once more (Laurel 6) → Skill 3 (unlocked)

Six Laurel stacks unlock the skill: one from Skill 1, one every time Energy reaches full, two from Skill 2. Flying spends Energy, so when the stacks matter more than position, stay on the ground and keep attacking. Each leaf chases the lowest-Health enemy in range and takes 0.2s off Skill 2's cooldown.

Peeling Off a Diver

Skill 2 (slow immunity for 3s + 20% Attack Speed at Lvl 1) → Flight (spend Energy to open the gap) → Skill 1 (15% slow ring at Lvl 1) → Enhanced Basic Attack

Skill 2 refills Energy from empty and shuts out slows for 3s. Do not burn it just to rotate — hold it as the answer to a dive. Flight speed scales at 30 Movement Speed per 100 magical attack, capped at 450.

These combos are not official data. They are this site's own write-up, built only from the skill data transcribed from the in-game display; nothing that the skill text does not state is included.

Strengths

•Magic attack raises her basic-attack damage and her glide speed at once
•Glides plus slow immunity give her some of the best escapes of any marksman
•Skill 3's leaves hunt the lowest-HP enemy and secure cleanup on their own
•No mana - she camps lane indefinitely and out-farms her opposite number

Weaknesses

•Low burst, so out-damaging heals and shields takes real time
•Loses all mobility the instant her energy runs dry
•No answer to point-and-click CC — getting caught means dying
•Heavily item-dependent, with little teamfight presence before 10 minutes

Early Game Strategy

Spend the first four minutes in the farm lane doing nothing but securing last hits. Erin is built around an unusual scaling scheme — magic attack raises both her move speed and her skill rotation — so finishing that first magic item is her real first power spike. Skill 1 is your harass tool: it stacks laurel marks on hit and deploys a slowing ring. Manage energy on a rhythm of one glide per three basic attacks and you'll stay half a step faster than the opposing marksman at all times.

Mid Game Strategy

Around the 10-minute mark, two completed magic items plus the Ultimate unlocking at 6 marks send her sustained damage through the roof. In Tyrant fights and skirmishes, gliding half a step off an enemy skill's flight path cuts your damage taken dramatically. When you get ganked, Skill 2 is the lifeline: it refills energy, grants slow immunity, and boosts attack speed all at once, which is enough to outrun one full rotation of chase. You're fragile while it's on cooldown, so pick the moment carefully.

Late Game Strategy

Erin approaching full build is the whole point of picking her. Her penetration and lifesteal apply whichever of physical or magic is higher, so her damage goes through any defensive itemization and she rarely loses an extended DPS race. Always fight from behind your frontline. Don't overthink targeting either — hit the nearest safe enemy, and the Ultimate's leaves will chase down the lowest-HP target on their own. Her win condition is uptime, not burst: staying alive and firing is the play.

Teamfight Strategy

Hold the perimeter and settle into the rhythm of basic attack, glide, basic attack. When an assassin dives you, hit Skill 2 to speed up, ignore their slows, and slide behind your frontline. The Ultimate's leaves keep flying while you retreat, so your damage never actually stops. One habit worth building: don't glide just because you're pressured. Wait until you've seen one enemy dash skill before spending energy on movement, and you'll still have some banked when it really matters.

nerf

Erin — Stats Adjusted Skill 1 (Dance - Leaf Greeting) • Base damage 525 (+105/lv, 120% extra physical attack, 110% magical attack) → 510 (+102/lv, 115% extra physical attack, 100% magical attack) • Contact damage 175 (+35/lv, 40% extra physical attack, 37% magical attack) → 170 (+34/lv, 38% extra physical attack, 33% magical attack) Ultimate (Waltz - Laurel Bloom) • Base damage 72 (+36/lv, 35% physical attack, 30% magical attack) → 72 (+36/lv, 35% physical attack, 25% magical attack) What this means The cuts land mostly on her magical attack ratios: the Skill 1 hit drops from 110% to 100%, the ring's contact damage from 37% to 33%, and each Ultimate leaf from 30% to 25%. Base values and bonus AD ratios moved too, but only by about 3% each. Erin reads both physical and magical attack on her passive and her Basic Attacks, so the more magic power a build stacks, the more this nerf is felt — at 400 magical attack, the direct Skill 1 hit loses roughly 6%. Builds centered on physical attack and Attack Speed barely notice, which makes shifting item weight toward the physical side worth considering. Nothing changed about stacking six Laurel marks to unlock the Ultimate or about three leaves counting as one Basic Attack, so her core pattern of play stays the same.
