Abyssal Yufine, a def-scaling counter-bruiser, is a 5★ Dark Knight in Epic Seven. Abyssal Yufine's biggest weakness: a big part of her value is striking back when attacked; enemies that prevent counterattacks shut that engine off and reduce her to a slow, telegraphed bruiser. Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Abyssal Yufine in RTA, the matchups where Abyssal Yufine struggles most, and how to draft against Abyssal Yufine.
Counterattack denial — A big part of her value is striking back when attacked; enemies that prevent counterattacks shut that engine off and reduce her to a slow, telegraphed bruiser.
Effect Immunity — Her chance to weaken enemy Attack does nothing against an immunity shield, and immunity also blanks out the soft control she leans on, leaving only her raw Defense-scaling damage.
Enemy cleanse and her own self-cleanse timing — Allied cleanse removes the Decreased Attack she applies, and because her transform only triggers while she is carrying her self-inflicted Trauma, her own auto-dispel can scrub that Trauma off and cancel the armor-piercing form she set up.
Long cooldown and average speed — Her tempo-control strike sits on a five-turn cooldown and she moves at only average speed, so genuinely faster teams can act before she lands it and she cannot repeat the turn-meter knockback every round.

Fast, turn-meter-hungry teams — Her cooldown skill drops the entire enemy team’s turn meter by 50% and ignores their Effect Resistance, and her passive shrinks any turn-meter boost the enemy gives itself, so she steals the opening tempo back from cleavers and speed comps that want to move first.
Buff-stacking and shielded enemies — Buff-stacking enemies are not her specialty — she has no buff-strip. Her edge against fast, buff-pumped teams is tempo: her cooldown skill knocks the whole enemy team’s turn meter back by 50% ignoring Effect Resistance, so they get less time to capitalize on stacked buffs.
Attackers who rely on landing the first big hit — Built as a tanky Defense-scaling wall, she can survive an opener and then counterattack when struck, punishing single-target nukers and on-attack threats that expected to delete a target on turn one.
Debuff and crowd-control reliant teams — Her passive cleanses all of her own debuffs the moment her Fighting Spirit fills, so stuns, silences, and stacked debuffs slide off her instead of locking her down.
