Dragon Quest 11 Wiki
Erik is your thief and will take part in just about any endeavor involved with getting various items whether it be through theft (Half-Inch) or various co-op Pep Powers. And as you can expect from a thief, he’s fast and has a high evasion rate. However, don’t let his role fool you: he also happens to be the hardest hitting character in the game when the right conditions are met. Unfortunately, this isn’t something he’ll be able to do until late in the game, and when it is finally available, the setup is both MP heavy and has some forced downtime involved. Before then, he’ll be serving as a speedy fighter to act on the front lines along with the Luminary.
In short, he’s your stock thief/fighter until you hit the late game and he starts dropping several thousand damage in one turn.Pep Effect BonusesSTR +20% (40%), DFT +100% (150%), Evade +100% (150%) Regular Skills and Abilities NameLevel/ConditionRubblerouser10Evac12Cock-a-Doodle-Doo!15Peep22Boulderbringer23Mountainmover42Ridgeraiser61As one might expect from a thief, Erik doesn’t have too many spells in arsenal. Furthermore, outside of Cock-a-Doodle-Doo! (removes sleep from all allies), Peep (checks the content of treasure chests) and Evac (escape dungeons), they’re also unique in how they work. Rather than doing direct damage, these spells are traps that deal damage whenever an enemy takes an action. They’re not the strongest spells (the Pep Power versions are pretty decent, though), but the damage they deal can add up when enemies start getting multiple turns in a row.

Fatal Flash is a great skill to use if you choose to use swords, capable of doing about 2.5x of Erik’s usual damage and it even has a fair chance of instantly killing the target (provided they can be affected by instant death).Regardless of whether you choose to use Swords or not, however, picking up Dually Deadly is mandatory. It changes the damage formula of off-hand weapons when dual-wielding, allowing Erik to deal full damage with them. Just be aware that unlocking this skill requires Erik to also heavily invest in Knives, as it’s the very last skill available on this tree.Knives NameSP CostExtra NotesAttack Power When Wielding +53n/aCritical Hit Chance When Wielding +2%4n/aSleep Hit6n/aPersecutter9n/aCobra Strike7n/aVictimiser13n/aAssassin’s Stab18Mystery PanelDual-Wielding16n/aCritical Hit Chance When Wielding +4%14n/aHP Hoover16Mystery PanelAttack Power When Wielding +3016n/aNastier Knives20n/aDodge Chance +3%14n/aKnives are Erik’s go-to weapon in the early game (and strongest during the endgame). He has two options to consider during this time: either picking up Sleep Hit and then comboing it with Persecutter to deal 6x damage if the target is asleep/confused or doing the same combo with Cobra Strike and Victimisser except with poisoned/paralyzed enemies. Both are effective when they work, and while I went with Sleep Hit for some crowd control, I wouldn’t be surprised if the poison from Cobra Strike lands more consistently.
Of course, this won’t be as much of a concern later on after boosting his ability to land status ailments via Nastier Knives.Regardless of what you end up doing though, be sure to pick up Dual-Wielding. It does exactly what it sounds like, allowing Erik to make use of his empty left hand since he can’t use shields. Also, be aware that he can dual wield any weapon of his choosing so long as they’re the same weapon (i.e.

Motion blur can help to disguise the TAA blurring effect, as well as make a low frame rate feel smoother. It may have a small performance impact. It may also cause motion sickness and a headache for some.Input settings.
