Playstyle

As a Viking warrior, Erik undoubtedly loves to ransack and the gem board is a thing full of values, waiting to be taken away. Whether that is a specific gem target or a whole board wipe-out, Erik is always up for it.

Notable Combos

1. Gutwrench Powerbomb / Running Knee / German Suplex

Trainer 1: Xavier Woods "The New Day"

Trainer 2: Sgt.Slaughter "Sarge"

Prioritize Purple match. A Purple MP matching coach is recommended.

We'll use Gutwrench Powerbomb to subsequently charge both of the Red moves. Set up a potential Black match vertically with Running Knee. Lastly activate German Suplex to turn gems of the setup into Row Break Gems and proceed to align them manually, ending the cycle. 

Without the MP matching coach, you may need an extra turn or 2 to fully fill those Red moves but it should not be a problem on the 2nd time and after.

Until Gutwrench Powerbomb is available, you may use Backbreaker in its place. Admittedly the latter is not as good as the former. 

Weak Against

• Superstars that can quickly pull off Submissions.

2. Running Knee  / Exploder Suplex/ Knee Strike

Trainer 1: Matt Hardy "The Hardy Boyz"

Trainer 2: Sting "The Icon"

Our target with this move set is to use the finisher Knee Strike to destroy Black Multiply Gems, created by a combination of Running Knee & Exploder Suplex. Start with the Running Knee, try to fill the Black moves, and leave out some Black gems on the board (preferably within a 2x5 area). Next, use Exploder Suplex to convert these gems into Multiply then destroy them with the finisher, refilling your Black moves in the process.

At 5star, you can replace either Running Knee or Knee Strike with Neckbreaker to become much less board dependent. The 2nd trainer should be changed accordingly from Sting to Bray Wyatt "The Eater of Worlds".

Weak Against

• Superstars that aggressively target Black gems.
• Superstars that can quickly pull off Submissions.
