Best counters to Albedo
- Enemies that ignore counterattacks — If a foe's attack simply cannot trigger a counter, her signature passive retaliation never fires, gutting her main source of damage and buff-stripping.
- Cleanse and buff-removal — Her own value leans on the Speed Up she grants herself and the Unbuffable and Defense Down she lands; an enemy that cleanses those debuffs off, strips or steals her speed buff, or shortens its duration erases her setup.
- Immunity and unbuffable protection — If a target is immune to debuffs, her third skill's Unbuffable and Defense Down never stick, removing her ability to lock down and soften a priority enemy.
- Slow, cooldown-bound offense — She is a slow unit whose area counter is capped to once every two turns and whose lockdown skill sits on a five-turn cooldown, so against teams that simply avoid critting her allies she has little proactive pressure and is easy to play around.

Rinak54%

Belian55%
Briar Witch Iseria56%

Lone Crescent Bellona56%- Crit-heavy attackers — Her passive turns enemy critical hits against her, into team value: it reduces the damage allies take on a crit and lets her counter with an all-enemy hit. Teams built around guaranteed or frequent crits feed her counterattacks and get punished for connecting.
- Buff-stacking and shielding enemies — Her counterattack dispels one buff from every enemy, and her third skill can lock a key foe as unable to be buffed for two turns. Comps that pile on attack/defense buffs, barriers, or other protective effects see that setup stripped and shut off.
- Defensive walls and bulky targets — Everything she does scales with her own max Health, and her third skill cuts a target's Defense, so she keeps chipping reliable damage into tanky enemies that ignore raw attack-stat hits, even while playing the long game.
- Hard-to-kill sustain comps — By repeatedly stripping buffs from the whole enemy team and denying buffs on a priority target, she peels away the protective and healing buffs that immortal or barrier-reliant teams depend on to stall.
