Blooming Lidica, a speed-scaling stun-unbuffable assassin, is a 5★ Earth Assassin in Epic Seven. Blooming Lidica's biggest weakness: her control and buff-lockout work through her stun and unbuffable debuffs; an ally that removes debuffs simply clears the stun and the buff-block, undoing her disruption. Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Blooming Lidica in RTA, the matchups where Blooming Lidica struggles most, and how to draft against Blooming Lidica.
Cleansers — Her control and buff-lockout work through her stun and unbuffable debuffs; an ally that removes debuffs simply clears the stun and the buff-block, undoing her disruption.
Immunity and effect resistance — An enemy under immunity, or one that resists her effects, takes no stun and no unbuffable, neutering her control even though her damage still lands.
Self-buffing burst before her passive fires — Thorned Vine only triggers off an ally's attack on a debuffed enemy and only once every three turns, so a team that buffs and bursts inside that window can get its key turn off before she can strip anything.
Out-speeding her — Her defense penetration and Speed both hinge on having the Speed lead; a faster enemy denies the full-penetration bonus and can act, cleanse, or kill her before her control comes online.

Teams that lean on stacked buffs — Her Thorned Vine strikes the whole enemy team, cuts one turn off their buffs, and then makes them unable to receive new buffs for two turns, so buff-stacking compositions lose their shields, attack-up, and immunity as fast as they put them up.
High-Defense bruisers and tanks — Her flower strike ignores 50% of Defense outright, and that climbs all the way to full penetration when she out-speeds the target, so heavily armored enemies take close to her raw health-scaling damage anyway.
Fragile openers and turn-one threats — Her basic attack can stun for a turn and she scales Speed off enemy debuffs, letting her act early to lock down a key enemy before it gets its opening move off.
Slow, control-reliant enemies — Because her penetration and damage grow with her Speed lead, the slower the opposing pick, the harder she punishes it, and her stun keeps it from acting while she does.
