Eligos, a speed-scaling dual-attack assassin, is a 5★ Fire Ranger in Epic Seven. Eligos's biggest weakness: his pressure leans on the Defense down, resource cut, and Combat Readiness drop landing and lasting; an ally cleanse wipes those debuffs and effects that shorten his applied debuffs cut their window short. Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Eligos in RTA, the matchups where Eligos struggles most, and how to draft against Eligos.
Cleansers and buff-extenders — His pressure leans on the Defense down, resource cut, and Combat Readiness drop landing and lasting; an ally cleanse wipes those debuffs and effects that shorten his applied debuffs cut their window short.
Effect immunity — A team that protects itself with immunity blocks his Defense down, resource reduction, and Readiness push outright, leaving him with only the raw single-target hit.
Enemy dispel and buff theft — He needs his own Greater Attack increase to fire the bonus Dual Attack and to power the bomb; stripping or stealing that buff off him collapses his burst back to one ordinary shot.
Fast openers who act before he sets up — He is single-target with no team-wide control and depends on his stance and an ally kill to ramp; an enemy that moves first and bursts or locks him down denies the rotation before he can strip and shred.

Buff-stacked frontliners and protected carries — His third skill dispels two buffs from the target before it hits, so heroes who rely on stacked Attack, immunity, or a protective barrier to stay safe get stripped naked right before the strike.
Mana-hungry and turn-order-dependent enemies — He reduces the target's resource by 60% and knocks their Combat Readiness backward, denying a key skill use and shoving the enemy back in turn order so they lose their tempo.
High-Defense bruisers — He drops the target's Defense for two turns, and because he ignores Effect Resistance with high Hit Chance, that shred reliably sticks so his Speed-scaled hits cut through tanky targets.
Wounded or chunked enemies once an ally scores a kill — When any ally finishes off a foe, his passive plants a delayed bomb on the lowest-Health enemy, which buffs Eligos and then detonates to clean up the next-lowest survivor.
