Who Counters Aria in Epic Seven?
Ice · Mage · 5★ · 38% RTA win rate
Aria, a def-scaling counter stealth supporter, is a 5★ Ice Mage in Epic Seven. Aria's biggest weakness: her main pressure is the hit-chance debuff and the Combat Readiness push from her shadow attack; enemies under immunity shrug those off, and a cleanser can wipe her blind right back off the team. Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Aria in RTA, the matchups where Aria struggles most, and how to draft against Aria.
Best counters to Aria
- Immunity and cleanse — Her main pressure is the hit-chance debuff and the Combat Readiness push from her shadow attack; enemies under immunity shrug those off, and a cleanser can wipe her blind right back off the team.
- Anti-counter and counter-stance disruption — Her third skill leans on the counterattacking stance to deal damage and threaten attackers; enemies who ignore or disable counterattacks defang that whole turn.
- Buff theft and buff-duration cutting — Her power swings on her self-Defense buff, counter stance, and the team stealth; stealing those buffs or shortening their duration strips her offense and her allies' protection at once.
- Buff strippers and her own Focus reliance — Her biggest damage and the all-enemy dispel only fire once Focus is full, so until then she's just a two-target attacker, and an enemy dispeller can peel off her Defense buff and counter stance to blunt her damage and survivability.
