Legendary Ranger from the "Surviving the Game as a Barbarian" collaboration, an elf archer who joined after the 29 September 2026 maintenance (update 1.40.0). She is recruited with Recruit Companions Tickets in the collab's Companion Recruitment while the event runs.
Erwen's Bow opens with 30 Swift and every 10 Swift becomes 3 Focus, so her kit feeds itself. Her Spirits arrive one stone at a time on rounds 1, 5 and 9, which is why Raven's dodge build is running sooner.
Overview
Erwen is a speed hero. Swift makes her items fire faster, and Chasing Arrow turns the Swift she gains into Focus, which her bow badly needs because it starts at 60% Accuracy. The two skills only make sense together, and together they need no outside help.
Spirit Affinity supplies the rest. A Spirit Stone left on her Fire or Wind slot becomes that Spirit at the next shop, so the build grows a stone at a time. Wind Spirits matter most: stack them, and set a Fire Spirit where it touches your bows.
That earns her A. Spirits and tall bows fill the bag and leave little room for defense, and the build is thin before round 5, while Raven's evasion works from the first fight. Bring Red Dragon and White Wolf Captain, recruit her before the collab closes and star her to 4.
Eight Wind Spirits and three Erwen's Bows, with one Fire Spirit set against the bows. Each bow opens with 30 Swift and each Wind Spirit adds more, and Swift makes every item activate 1% faster per stack, so the bows' 2 second cooldown keeps shrinking while Chasing Arrow pays 3 Focus per 10 Swift into their 60% Accuracy. Buy order: Wind Spirit first, then the bow, then boots.
The same plan with a second Fire Spirit. Three Erwen's Bows lie side by side with a Fire Spirit touching them, so each bow hit hands that Spirit back 30% of its 10 second cooldown, and the left half of the bag is Wind Spirits. Round 1: lay down the bows you have and turn the first Spirit Stone into a Fire Spirit beside them. From round 3, add Wind Spirits next to a Fire Spirit.
Skill
Spirit Affinity
At the start of a run, two fixed backpack slots are enhanced, one with Fire and one with Wind. Each time you enter the shop, a Spirit Stone sitting on an enhanced slot is consumed and becomes a Fire Spirit or a Wind Spirit, matching the slot. Entering rounds 1, 5 and 9 gives you 1 Spirit Stone.
