Faithless Lidica

Faithless Lidica is a fast 5-star Light Ranger built around speed control and shutting down enemy setups rather than raw cleave. Her area attack hits every enemy with a chance to strip one buff and pushes her own Combat Readiness by 25% per target hit, and that skill cannot be punished by counterattacks. Her ultimate is single-target but powerful disruption: it fully maxes the struck enemy's skill cooldowns, pushes all allies 25% on the turn order, and on a critical hit hands the whole team a one-time skill block that absorbs the next enemy effect. Her basic attack chips in a chance to make a single enemy miss for a turn.

Counters

• Buff-stacking and shield-stacking teams — Her area attack can dispel a buff off every enemy at once, peeling away the attack, defense, or barrier layers that buff-reliant and shield-stacking comps lean on before they get to act.
• Enemies that depend on a single big skill — Her ultimate fully maxes the target's skill cooldowns, locking a key attacker or reviver out of their signature move for several turns, and cooldown increases cannot be cleansed away.
• Counterattack walls and retaliation builds — Her area skill explicitly cannot trigger a counterattack, so she can safely attack and strip buffs off heroes built to punish every incoming hit without taking the return damage.
• Slower comps that rely on going first — She is naturally fast and pushes her own and her whole team's turn meter, letting her open the fight and steal the speed race from teams that need to act first to win.

Countered by

• Debuff immunity — If enemies enter with immunity up, her miss-chance debuff simply fails to land and the value of her control side is blunted until that immunity is gone.
• Cleanse support — A cleanser can wipe the miss-chance she applies; her cooldown push is harder to undo, but the debuff portion of her pressure is easy for an ally healer to remove.
• Burst before she sets up — Her strongest disruption sits on long cooldowns, the area strip on a four-turn timer and the cooldown-max ultimate on a six-turn timer, so a faster nuke that kills her first leaves the team without the lockout.
• Single big threats she can't fully answer — Her hardest-hitting and most disruptive skill is single-target, so against a wide front line she can only strip and shut down one enemy per cast rather than crippling the whole team at once.
