General Thoughts

Erwin is a 5-star unit that plays the Buffer role. He’s a well rounded 5-star with some decent stats and abilities but can be overshadowed by other Buff units in the game.

I’d say the best thing about Erwin is the coverage he has over the Ice element. Having two ice based active attacks along with Blizzard and Blizzara.

He also has two moves to increase Ice resistance and two for Fire resistance. So he’s a great unit for buffing allies against both of those elements.

He’s even a decent healer equipped with Cure, Cura, and Esuna. Being able to restore health with both Cures and remove status ailments with Esuna.

Verdict: Overall, he’s a decent 5-star with his elemental coverage and decent healing capabilities. But he also falls into a large character pool of similar and somewhat better characters.

Lore

A young man who serves a mysterious organization from Paladia that works in complete secrecy. Nothing is known about the group Erwin works for, or anything else about him for that matter, except for his name. Although his mysterious past and his somewhat rigid appearance make him seem unapproachable, he is actually quite sociable in nature.
