What Crimson Armin counters

  • Single hard-hitting attackers — Her provoke locks one enemy into attacking only her for a turn, and because her damage and bulk scale with Defense she can soak that forced hit and stall a dangerous single threat.
  • Debuff-reliant teams — Her holy-spirit aura gives the whole team two turns of immunity, so opponents who depend on landing crowd control or stacking debuffs to win simply bounce off during that window.
  • Burst and sustained damage dealers — Her passive grants every ally damage reduction whenever one is attacked, blunting both spike nukes and turn-after-turn pressure across the team.
  • Squishy targets she can pin — The provoke chance combined with Defense-scaling damage lets her redirect and chip away at a fragile enemy, controlling where their offense lands.
