Rinak48%- Unhealable application — She has no self-heal; her durability is just a big Health pool, Penetration Resistance, and the indomitable buff. Sustained attrition that outlasts her cooldown windows simply grinds her down with no recovery to fall back on.
- Spreading damage across the team — Both her offensive skills hit only one target, so she cannot punish a whole enemy line at once and a wide team can outpace her single-target chip.
- Burst that beats her cooldown window — Unyielding Blow's cleanse and indomitable run on a 5-turn cooldown; opponents who time their kill outside that protective window face an unguarded team.
- Stripping or bypassing her buffs — Her value lives in the Penetration Resistance buff and the indomitable she grants; the indomitable is undispellable, so out-scale or out-last the 5-turn window rather than trying to dispel it.
