Ivana39%- Heal-blocking effects — A core of her durability is the self-healing baked into every attack; an enemy that makes her unable to be healed strips that sustain away and lets burst overwhelm her.
- Dispels and barrier removal — Her signature payoff is the 2-turn team barrier she spends full Fighting Spirit on; an opponent who strips buffs erases that protection from the whole team right after she commits it.
- Counter denial — Much of her threat comes from the counterattack she fires when an ally is hit hard; effects that block or prevent counters neutralize that retaliation and let attackers strike her allies for free.
- Ignoring her and racing the kill — She is slow, leans on single-target damage, and her best shield strike sits on a 4-turn cooldown, so fast teams that bypass her tank wall and burst a fragile ally before damage sharing and her counter can matter simply outrun her protection.

What Estelle counters
- High-health and tanky targets — Her Injuries permanently shave off a percentage of the target's max Health, and her damage scales off her own max HP rather than Attack, so beefy frontliners that other attackers struggle to dent still erode steadily under her. The defense-piercing shield strike ignores half their Defense on top.
- Burst attackers and divers trying to kill an ally — Damage sharing routes part of an ally's incoming hit onto Estelle, and any blow that lands for 20% or more of an ally's max Health triggers her to cleanse that ally's debuffs and counterattack, punishing single-target assassins and turning their opening swing against them.
- Debuff-stacking and control teams — Her passive automatically wipes all debuffs off an ally the moment they take a heavy hit, and the team-wide barrier she grants when Fighting Spirit fills blunts follow-up pressure, undercutting comps that rely on piling on damage-over-time, stuns, or stacked ailments.
- Slow grind matchups where she outlasts — Self-healing tied to her max Health, guaranteed critical hits, and the recurring team barrier let her win long fights of attrition, while her off-turn doubled Injuries keep chipping the enemy even between her own turns.
