Ivana45%- Cleanse and debuff immunity — Her control hinges on provoke landing; if enemies pre-apply immunity or cleanse the provoke off, they ignore her redirection entirely and attack freely.
- Effect resistance and accuracy checks — Provoke on both her attack and her main skill is only a chance and must beat enemy resistance, so high-resistance targets shrug off the control she depends on.
- Buff strippers and buff-duration cutters — Her counterattack engine leans on the Challenge buff — which is undispellable — plus her self Defense buff; dispel or buff-theft can strip the Defense buff, but the surest shutdown is to simply avoid hitting her so the counters never trigger.
- Skills that ignore counterattacks — Her core value is the counterattack loop, so enemies whose attacks cannot trigger counters bypass that retaliation and leave her dealing little damage on her own.

Boss Arunka55%
Monarch of the Sword Iseria55%
Notos52%
Rinak52%
Belian51%
Lone Crescent Bellona51%- Single-target attackers and assassins that try to pick off a backline carry — Her challenge pulls enemy attacks toward the challenge-holders and her chance to provoke forces enemies to swing at the wrong target, so focused-fire openers waste their burst hitting bait instead of the carry they wanted dead.
- Aggressive openers that rely on landing the first hit — Provoke from her attack and her main skill, plus the team Combat Readiness push when an ally is struck, disrupt the enemy's opening turn and let her allies act or counterattack before the enemy can follow up.
- Auto-attacking and physical bruiser teams — Her passive grants challenge to all allies and turns them into counterattackers when hit, so every enemy swing risks an immediate retaliation, punishing teams that lean on repeated basic attacks.
- Buff-stacking enemy lineups — Provoking enemies wastes the turns they need to set up, blunting comps that depend on stacking and maintaining their own buffs before they can capitalize.
