Best counters to Arunka
- Cleansers and bleed removal — Her chip pressure leans on stacked bleeds; a cleanse or heal-over-time that strips debuffs erases that damage and blunts most of her S1 output.
- Immunity buffs — Granting allies immunity stops her bleeds from landing at all, removing a core part of her sustained damage and her self-heal pacing.
- Heal-blocking herself — Her survival relies on the Attack-scaling heal from her Expose extra attack; inflicting unhealable on her cuts off that lifeline and lets sustained damage outpace her.
- Spread or burst comps that ignore her tempo — She attacks one enemy at a time with no area damage and a 5-turn cooldown on her big hit, so wide-threat or fast burst teams can race her before she chains kills, and without enemy barriers her passive Combat Readiness gain never comes online.

Maid Chloe60%- Barrier and shield teams — Her passive turns barriers against the enemy, granting her Combat Readiness whenever an enemy gains one, and her S3 deals bonus damage to barriered targets, so the more shields the foe stacks, the faster and harder she hits.
- Defense-stacking bruisers and tanks — Her S3 ignores 70% of the target's Defense, so high-armor frontliners cannot rely on bulk to survive her focused hits.
- Damage-reduction and durability picks — Her bleeds tick as percentage damage independent of mitigation, and combined with defense penetration she wears down enemies that lean on damage reduction rather than dodging or cleansing.
- Targets she can snowball through — Killing a foe with her S3 resets its cooldown, letting her immediately charge the next victim, so squads of fragile or low-health enemies can be picked off in a chain.
