Achates is a 4-star Fire Soul Weaver built as a single-target sustain healer and protector. Her basic staff attack hits one enemy and can lower its Attack for 2 turns, while Rapid Cure heals one ally, shields them with a barrier for 1 turn, and shaves a turn off that ally's skill cooldown, all scaling off her own max Health. Her last skill, Curing Prayer, cleanses one debuff from every ally and heals the whole team off her max Health, so she is best built bulky to make her heals and barrier land hard. She has no passive, and her support comes on cooldowns rather than every turn.

Counters

  • Debuff-heavy and damage-over-time teams — Curing Prayer dispels one debuff from the entire team and heals everyone, so she steadily peels off poisons, burns, bleeds and other lingering ailments and keeps allies topped up against teams that try to win by stacking damage-over-time and afflictions.
  • Soft control and lockdown openers — Her team cleanse strips things like stuns, silences and other turn-denial effects off allies, letting a locked-down carry act again, and the cooldown reduction on Rapid Cure helps a key ally get its big skill back online sooner.
  • Burst and assassin attempts on a key ally — Rapid Cure puts a Health-scaling barrier and a heal on a single chosen ally before they get hit, blunting the spike from one-shot attackers, while her staff attack's Attack-down on the enemy further softens incoming damage.
  • High-attack bruisers and heavy hitters — The Attack reduction from her basic attack lowers a strong attacker's damage output for 2 turns, easing the pressure on her team during a sustained fight.

Countered by

  • Unhealable effects — Her entire value is healing and barriers off her max Health; an enemy that applies 'cannot recover Health' turns off her heals and leaves her with only a single weak Attack-down debuff to offer.
  • Enemy dispel and buff strip — The barrier she grants with Rapid Cure can simply be stripped off the ally she shielded, erasing the protection before it absorbs anything.
  • Debuff immunity on the enemy — Her only offensive tool is the chance-based Attack-down from her staff attack; against immunity it does nothing, so she contributes no real pressure and is reduced to pure healing.
  • Fast, repeated burst that outpaces her cooldowns — Her heal, barrier and team cleanse all sit on cooldowns and she has no passive and below-average Speed, so a fast team that bursts again before Rapid Cure or Curing Prayer comes back up can kill through the gaps in her sustain.
