This includes structures such as the Underside of the Chessboard, a void of nothingness completely lacking space and time which resides "nowhere" in relation to the entire world of the pieces) to High Complex Multiverse level (Manifested in the Golden Land, the highest layer of Beatrice's Territory, and fought against the Ushiromiya Family with the help of several Theory Goats.

Intelligence: Genius. Erika is capable of matching Battler and Beatrice in terms of intelligence, and is stated to be a "99" in comparision to a normal person's "10." She is even capable of tricking Battler into making him cause a logic error on his gameboard. She eventually figured out the truths to Beatrice's gameboard after thinking in the Sea of Oblivion for a very long time. With the assistance of the Detective's Authority, she can use her knowledge in science to solve many mysteries.
Weaknesses: Inferiority complex, emotionally unstable | If Bernkastel dies, she will disappear
Notable Attacks & Techniques
*Detective's Authority: The genre convention necessary for compliance with Knox's 8th Van Dine's 1st]] No matter how expansive or restricted this authority is granted in the story (or by the Game Master), the detective must not be hindered in discovery of clues necessary to solution. The detective's inspection is to be considered exhaustive to the extent that it obviates any Devil's Proof; clues not yielded to the detective also eliminates any resolution those clues would have proven. Due to this authority, Erika could have merely her observations stamped in the Red Truth and would be entitled to the ones which would support her hypothesis.
*Truths: Special moves utilized in debates between Witches and Humans taking place in the Meta-World, being statements denoted by specific colors which often manifest as conceptual weapons that directly target the enemy's very existence in an attempt to deny it, and are thus impossible to physically avoid, forcing opponents to counter the attacker's arguments with another truth. As the damage dealt by the Truths is conceptual, rather than strictly physical, they completely bypass conventional durability and allow the user to skewer and even kill opponents much more powerful than themselves
** Red Truth: Irrefutable, objective truth that needs no evidence or proof to demonstrate its validity. In essence, the Red Truth takes an unobserved possibility existing alongside infinitely many and asserts it as the ultimate truth, being capable of completely denying an opponent's existence, body and soul, and sending them to the depths of oblivion without hope of recovery. However, it is impossible to lie (Essentially trying to deny the validity of a wave function that has already been collapsed) using this technique, and one can find gaps, semantic loopholes and different interpretations even in statements spoken in red, potentially allowing them to counterattack with an argument of their own, though the Red Truth itself remains unrefuted.
** Blue Truth: A theoretical scenario made with the purpose of directly denying the enemy's arguments and existence, whose true validity is unclear but nonetheless takes precedence over any statements spoken in basic white text, while being inferior to the Red Truth. It normally assumes the form of several stakes which skewer and impale opponents, damaging them on a conceptual level and being impossible to remove unless their falsehood is directly declared with the Red Truth; otherwise, that which is spoken in blue will be asserted as the truth and grant victory to the attacker, while erasing their opponent's concept entirely.
