Belian50%- Buff theft and dispel — Her value lives in the buffs she hands out — the team Attack buff, the barrier, and the Crit Resistance — so an enemy that steals or strips those buffs erases her protection right after she applies it.
- Buff-duration shorteners — Her barrier only lasts 2 turns and her Defense and Crit Resist buffs are timed, so anything that cuts buff duration shrinks her shielding window and forces her to spend cooldowns re-applying it.
- Cooldown pressure and sustained offense — Her cleanse and dispel sit on 4- and 5-turn cooldowns, so a team that applies fresh debuffs every turn or simply keeps attacking can outlast the windows where she is actually protecting the team.
- Pure damage with no debuffs — Because her kit answers debuffs and crowd control rather than raw output, an attacker who just hits hard without relying on debuffs gives her dispel and cleanse nothing to remove, leaving only her barrier and Crit Resist to soak the damage.

Commander Pavel41%- Debuff-stacking and damage-over-time teams — She cleanses one debuff on her team buff and wipes every debuff off all allies on her prayer, so poison, bleed, and other stacking effects get scrubbed off before they can grind the team down.
- Control and lockdown comps — Her full-team dispel clears stuns, silences, and other soft crowd control, freeing allies that an enemy tried to lock out of their turns.
- Burst and one-shot attackers — The barrier she hands the whole team scales off each ally's max Health, and she adds a Critical Hit Resistance buff, so heavy single hits and crit-based burst chip into the shield and land softer instead of deleting a target.
- Speed and turn-order races — She pushes her own readiness on her attack (doubled while buffed) and shoves the whole team forward by 15% on her team buff plus 50% on herself, helping the team out-tempo enemies and get protection up before the first big hit.
