Elena, a aoe invincibility soulweaver, is a 5★ Ice Soul Weaver in Epic Seven. Elena's biggest weakness: her invincibility turn and the damage reduction she hands out can be stripped away, removing the protection her team is leaning on right when an attack is about to connect. Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Elena in RTA, the matchups where Elena struggles most, and how to draft against Elena.
Enemies that dispel buffs — Her invincibility turn and the damage reduction she hands out can be stripped away, removing the protection her team is leaning on right when an attack is about to connect.
Heal-blockers — Her sustain comes almost entirely from Consecrated Ground's team heal. An Unhealable debuff shuts that heal off, leaving her with little to keep the team alive.
Single-target assassins who ignore wide attacks — Her protective passive only activates when an ally is hit by an attack targeting all allies. A precise single-target deleter that focuses one ally never triggers Consecrated Ground, so the team takes the hit without her safety net.
Pressure during her long cooldown windows — Invincibility and the team-wide cleanse ride on her ultimate, which has a six-turn cooldown, and her passive has its own gap between activations. Burst that lands while both are down catches her without her defensive tools ready.

All-target nukers and meteor-style cleavers — Her passive only fires when an ally is hit by an attack that targets all allies, granting damage reduction and a max-Health-based heal to the whole team. Enemy area damage actively powers her sustain and gives her a Combat Readiness boost, so the harder they swing wide, the more value she generates.
Debuff stackers and damage-over-time teams — Her basic cleanses one debuff each from two allies, and her ultimate strips one debuff from every ally at once. Teams that win by piling on poisons, bleeds, and stacking ailments get those efforts wiped before they snowball.
Control-and-burst openers trying to remove a key ally — On her ultimate she grants the whole team invincibility for one full turn, neutering an incoming wipe attempt, and her cleanse can shake off the silence, stun, or soft control used to lock a target down before the kill lands.
Slow attrition teams that out-grind opponents — Consecrated Ground heals the entire team off her max Health and refunds her own Combat Readiness, letting her cycle protection faster than a damage-over-time or wear-down team can chip the team down.
