Lethe48%- Cleanse and buff removal — Her self-buffs lean on Increased Attack and her one-turn stealth; dispelling or stealing those strips her cloak and her damage ramp, leaving her exposed and hitting softer.
- Buff-duration shortening — Effects that cut buff length erode her short stealth window and her Attack boost before she can convert them into a kill.
- Speed and burst before her turn — She is a slow unit who needs to take her turn to fire Final Deliverance and refresh cooldowns, so faster teams that open on her can knock her out before her rotation comes online.
- No crits by design — Death's Dominion forbids her own attacks from critting or landing heavy blows, capping her ceiling against frail targets and making crit-scaling gear and crit-damage builds wasted on her.

Shepherd of the Dark Diene47%

Elvira52%- Revive and immortality teams — Her passive globally blocks all revives and prevents immortality on every hero, so resurrection units and self-revive carries simply stay dead, and she can also stamp an unrevivable mark onto a target.
- High-Defense and tanky bruisers — Her attacks penetrate the target's Defense, so heavily armored frontliners and damage-mitigation tanks take close to full damage from her hits instead of shrugging them off.
- A chosen single target she opens on — She enters the battle with her big nuke ready, self-buffs her own Attack, and pierces Defense, letting her delete one priority enemy early before they can act or stack protection.
- Damage-sharing setups — One of her attacks ignores damage-sharing links, so guards or redirection that normally spread her hit across the team fail to protect the real target.
