Eric's lore is much more crazy than that: the only part the bloody axe plays is giving him NP charge and attack buff later. Everything else, including debuffs, curses and his defensive buffs are Gunhild's doings. Gunhild is his possessive wife who is also a witch. She is so possessive that if a girl tries to charm him, she will begrudge the entire party for massive curse damage. According to the name of the quest itself, this CQ is really hers, and Eric is just the avatar. Whenever Eric deals a critical hit, kills someone or uses his NP, Gunhild will literally get a fangirl moment and forget to apply her hexes and boons, leaving Eric wide open. Yes, the trick is to let Eric be awesome so Gunhild gets distracted. Amazing lol.

As for Nero's CQ, it is treated as a supped up preliminary battle, the "final battle" of 2019 before the hijack (hence why it has the purple border and not the yellow one). The lore on this one isn't deep, it's just 3 powerful rulers (yes, Fionn is powerful) who decided to work as a tag team. The Attacker will do most of the work while the others (as Supporters) recover their HP and use tag actions (Marvel vs Capcom 2 / KOF Nests Saga style).

I don't think I need to explain the lore for today's quest, do I lol?
