Eirika, Anamnesis Lady

We now have a proper offensive red mage cavalry! Gleipnir is not as bat shit crazy as Ragnarok, but it does not depend on the user's HP for the effect to kick in, so it is generally more dependable.

She pretty much comes pre built, so I personally would not invest too much into her besides giving her a Special, positioning Assist, and C slot skill.

 

Level 40 stats:
HP: 33/36/40
Atk: 28/31/34
Spd: 32/35/38
Def: 17/20/23
Res: 19/22/25
Total: 144~145

Default skills:
Weapon: Gleipnir
Assist: Rally Atk/Spd
Special: [none]
Passive A: Swift Sparrow 2
Passive B: Desperation 3
Passive C: R Tome Exp. 3

 

Gleipnir/Rauðrblade:
Arena offense

Spoiler

Nature [+Atk/Spd, -HP/Def/Res]

Gleipnir / Rauðrblade+
Reposition / [flexible Assist]
Moonbow
Swift Sparrow 2 / Brazen Atk/Spd 3
Desperation 3
Hone Cavalry / Fortify Cavalry / Savage Blow 3 / [flexible C passive]
Attack +3 / Resistance +3 / Heavy Blade 3 / Savage Blow 3 / [flexible Sacred Seal]

This is pretty much her vanilla set. There is no reason to really change it in my opinion.

Rauðrblade+: I personally do not recommend it since her default tome is just fine. Rauðrblade does give her a bit better performance though, at the slight expense of 3 Speed against full HP enemies.

Savage Blow 3 — Savage Blow 3: This allows her to take down groups of enemies faster in Tempest Trials.

Keen Rauðrwolf:
Arena offense

Spoiler

Nature [+Atk/Spd, -Def]

Keen Rauðrwolf+ [Special Refinement] / Keen Rauðrwolf+ [Attack Refinement] / Keen Rauðrwolf+ [Speed Refinement]
[flexible Assist]
Moonbow / Glimmer / [flexible Special]
Fury 3 / Death Blow 3 / Life and Death 3 / Brazen Atk/Spd 3
Desperation 3 / G Tomebreaker 3
Hone Cavalry / Fortify Cavalry / [flexible C passive]
Brash Assault 3 / Attack +3 / Speed +3 / [flexible Sacred Seal]

This Player Phase set allows SM!Eirika to specialize against common cavalry enemies in Arena. If you need an anti-cavalry specialist instead of a high coverage nuke, you may want to consider this build.

+Atk — Death Blow 3 — Attack +3 — Hone Cavalry buff/Hone Attack buff: This allows her to one shot enemy cavalry more easily.

Desperation 3 — Brash Assault 3: Once he manages to get under 50% HP, he will annihilate any enemy cavalry unless it is blue and runs Triangle Adept.

Rauðrblade — Close Counter — Vantage:
General Use

Spoiler

Nature [+Atk, -HP/Def/Res]

Rauðrblade+
Reposition / Swap
Glimmer / Moonbow
Close Counter
Vantage 3
Hone Cavalry / Fortify Cavalry / Savage Blow / [flexible C passive]
Attack +3 / Savage Blow / Heavy Blade 3 / Quickened Pulse

This is your standard Blade-Close Counter-Vantage meme.
