Best counters to Flan
- Cleanse and dispel support — Her edge comes from the Defense reduction she lands; a healer or cleanser that wipes debuffs or a dispeller that removes them undoes her armor break and blunts her whole game plan.
- Buff theft and buff-shortening effects — The Attack and Critical Hit Damage she grants an ally can be stolen or have its duration cut, so an enemy that snatches or shrinks those buffs turns her own setup against her or wastes it.
- Effect Resistance and immunity — Her Defense break and turn-meter drag are debuffs; an immunity barrier or high Resistance lets enemies shrug them off, leaving her with little impact beyond a small single-target hit.
- Pure burst that ignores setup — She has no passive and no self-protection, relying on living long enough to buff and slow; a fast cleaver or assassin that opens before she acts can remove her ally or her before her enabling pays off.
