Angelica, a aoe healer with team immunity barrier, is a 4★ Ice Soul Weaver in Epic Seven. Angelica's biggest weakness: her protection is built on the immunity and barrier she applies; an enemy that dispels those buffs removes the shield and reopens the team to debuffs and burst before her long cooldown comes back up. Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Angelica in RTA, the matchups where Angelica struggles most, and how to draft against Angelica.
Buff strip and dispel — Her protection is built on the immunity and barrier she applies; an enemy that dispels those buffs removes the shield and reopens the team to debuffs and burst before her long cooldown comes back up.
Enemy immunity — Her main offensive pressure is the stun on her staff attack, and a foe already carrying immunity simply ignores it, leaving her with no real damage or control.
Unhealable debuffs — Her entire value is healing the team off her max Health, so an effect that blocks healing shuts down her core job and lets sustained damage actually stick.
Cooldown and stance gaps — Her team-wide heal, immunity, and barrier sit on a long cooldown, so a burst team that times its kill window between casts can blow past the protection while it is unavailable, and she brings no passive to cover the gap.

Her protection is built on the immunity and barrier she applies; an enemy that dispels those buffs removes the shield and reopens the team to debuffs and burst before her long cooldown comes back up.

Teams that rely on debuffs and damage-over-time to win — Her team-wide skill grants immunity and a barrier for two turns, blocking incoming poisons, burns, and other debuffs before they land, while her max-HP-scaled heals undo the chip damage that does slip through.
Opening burst and assassins trying to delete a target — The barrier she puts on the whole team absorbs the initial spike, and her max-HP-scaled heals top allies back up, so a single-target nuke or first-turn dive struggles to secure the kill.
Fragile single-threat enemies she can lock down — Her staff attack has a chance to stun for a turn, denying that enemy its action while her team keeps rolling, which is especially punishing against a lone key carrier.
Attrition and grind matchups — Because her healing and barrier strength scale with her own max Health rather than attack, a tanky Angelica out-sustains slow damage races, refreshing the team's health and shields turn after turn.
