ae-GISELLE

ae-Giselle is an Earth Mage support whose whole kit revolves around fueling her team's main attacker. Her basic attack hits one enemy harder the more current Health that target still has, and it pushes the Combat Readiness of her highest-Attack ally (never herself) so that ally acts sooner. Her passive makes every Combat Readiness boost she receives 50% stronger and gives a turn-start chance to shed one debuff off herself, while her cooldown skill strikes one enemy and grants an Attack buff to both herself and her highest-Attack ally for two turns. Against ordinary (non-Elite, non-Boss) enemies that same skill ignores damage-sharing protection, letting her ally's burst land on the intended target.

Counters

• Enemies hiding behind damage-sharing protection — Her cooldown attack ignores damage-sharing effects against any enemy that is not an Elite or Boss, so a defender who normally spreads incoming damage across the team can't soak the hit she sets up.
• Slow-starting defensive teams — By pushing her top attacker's Combat Readiness and stacking a two-turn Attack buff, she gives her carry an early, hard-hitting turn before the enemy can fully establish its formation.
• High-Health bruisers and tanks — Her basic attack deals more damage the more current Health the target still has, so it bites hardest into chunky frontliners while they are still near full.
• Teams that lean on debuffs to lock her down — Her passive gives a turn-start chance to dispel one debuff from herself, helping her shake off control or pressure and keep feeding her carry.

Countered by

• Buff stealers — The Attack buff she hands her carry can be stolen and turned against her team, erasing the offensive boost her whole kit exists to provide.
• Buff-duration reduction — Her support is tied to a two-turn Attack buff; cutting its duration shortens the window her carry has to capitalize on it.
• Dispellers — Stripping her Attack buff cancels the damage swing she enables, since she contributes setup rather than her own heavy damage.
• Burst and waiting out her cooldown — The Attack buff and damage-share bypass live on a five-turn cooldown skill, so a team that kills her carry quickly or pressures her between rotations leaves her with only her weak single-target basic attack.
