Ivana51%- Buff strip and buff steal — Her whole engine leans on the bonus Defense from Reclaim; an enemy that dispels, steals, or shortens that Defense buff guts both her survivability and her Defense-based damage.
- Immunity and cleanse on the enemy team — Her main control is the provoke from Strike of Provocation; an immunity buff blocks it outright and a cleanse wipes it off, freeing the target she was trying to lock down.
- Targets she cannot finish in time — Finishing Attack sits on a five-turn cooldown and only gets its 300% bonus below 30% Health, so against heavy healers or shields that keep targets topped up she struggles to ever reach execute range or re-fire.
- Wide pressure that ignores one provoke — She hits and provokes only a single enemy at a time and is slow, so a fast team applying broad pressure can simply work around the one locked target and outpace her turns.

New Moon Luna56%- Squishy back-line damage dealers she can pin down — Strike of Provocation has a 75% chance to provoke one enemy for a turn, forcing a dangerous attacker to waste its action swinging at her instead of hitting your team.
- Low-Health targets trying to survive on a sliver — Finishing Attack does 300% extra damage once a target drops to 30% Health or less, so anyone she can push into execute range gets deleted, and a kill refunds her turn to keep the snowball going.
- Debuff-heavy and disabling enemies — Her Reclaim passive cleanses a debuff off herself and adds Defense whenever she is struck, shrugging off things like defense reduction, damage-over-time, silence, and milder crowd control that would otherwise neutralize her.
- Attackers who depend on her dying — Her damage scales off her own Defense and Reclaim keeps stacking that Defense as she takes hits, so the harder enemies focus her, the tankier and harder-hitting she becomes.
