Best counters to Cecilia
- Cleansers — Her pressure leans on the Defense Down and Attack Down she applies; an ally cleanse wipes those debuffs off the enemy team and undoes her setup.
- Enemy buff-strippers — Her own survivability rides on the self-barrier and team immunity from her ultimate, and an enemy dispel can tear those protective buffs away.
- Immunity going up before she acts — Her provoke, Defense Down, and Attack Down all need to land; if enemies already hold immunity, every one of those debuffs simply fails to apply.
- Burst that races her long cooldowns — Her buff-strip is on a 3-turn cooldown and her protection ultimate on 5 turns, so fast teams can kill before those tools come back, and with no passive she has no automatic safety net between them.
