Cleansers who scrub off her debuffs: Her pressure comes from the unbuffable lock and broken Defense she applies; an ally-side cleanse removes those debuffs and lets the enemy team buff up and tank again. Enemy buff strippers and dispellers: Her own value leans on debuffs sticking; an opposing dispeller can clear them, and she has no way to protect what she has applied. Immunity going up before she acts: If an enemy gains Immunity before her turn, the Defense break and unbuffable debuff simply bounce off, leaving only raw damage. Burst pressure during her five-turn windows: Her thornbush and the immortality safety net both run on five-turn cooldowns, so after she fires, fast aggressive teams can race her down in the long gap when she has no AoE strip and no lethal-hit save available.

Buff-stacking teams that win by piling on shields and boosts: Her thornbush wipes every buff off all enemies at once and can lock them out of being buffed for two turns, so a team that depends on stacking attack, defense, or barriers loses its foundation and stays stripped. Barrier and shield carries: Her area dispel removes protective barriers along with every other buff, exposing wall-style defenders and shielded damage dealers to follow-up damage. Revive and resurrection comps: Her passive flatly prevents anyone, ally or enemy, from reviving, neutralizing strategies built around bringing fallen units back into the fight. Defense-reliant or high-resistance targets: Her basic attack can break a single enemy's Defense and pile on Attack-based bonus damage, while her thornbush ignores Effect Resistance so the buff-strip and unbuffable lock land even on resilient enemies.
