Ivana

Ivana is a 5-star Fire Soul Weaver support built around protecting her team and unmaking enemy immortality. Her main attack strikes a single target with holy light and heals the whole team based on that target's max Health, while her passive makes her immune to Combat Readiness reduction and, at the start of each turn, strips immortality from every enemy while ignoring their Effect Resistance. Whenever an enemy gains immortality, she reacts by cleansing all debuffs from her allies, granting them a 2-turn protective radiance, and pushing her own turn forward. Her active prayer dispels two debuffs from the whole team and hands out immunity plus a buff that lets the team ignore damage sharing, again advancing her own Combat Readiness.

Counters

• Immortality teams — Her passive automatically dispels immortality from all enemies at the start of every turn, and does so while ignoring Effect Resistance so it can't be resisted. She also reacts whenever an enemy is granted immortality, making invulnerability-based defensive cores far less reliable against her.
• Heavy debuff and control comps — She cleanses debuffs off the entire team both reactively through her passive and directly through her prayer, which strips two debuffs and grants immunity. That blunts teams that win by stacking damage-over-time, defense breaks, silences, soft control, and stuns.
• Combat Readiness manipulation — She is unaffected by Combat Readiness reduction, so push-pull and turn-denial enemies cannot drag her back. She also pushes her own readiness off her passive and prayer, keeping her loop running ahead of those teams.
• Damage-share defensive setups — Her prayer grants the team a buff to ignore damage sharing, and she heals the whole team scaled to a target's max Health, undercutting comps that lean on redirecting or pooling damage to survive.

Countered by

• Enemy dispel and cleanse — The immunity, ignore-sharing, and radiance buffs she hands out can simply be stripped away. A hero that dispels her team's protection removes the wall she builds, and cleanse on the enemy side undoes the debuffs she relies on others having applied.
• Enemy immunity — Her offensive pressure comes from her main attack and from dispelling immortality; an enemy already shielded by immunity can block the debuffs her allies want to land, leaving her support-only and toothless on offense.
• Anti-heal effects — Her sustain is built on team healing scaled to a target's max Health. Unhealable applied to her allies shuts that healing off, collapsing the survivability her kit is meant to provide.
• Single-target offense and burst — Her only attack hits one target and exists mainly to heal, so she brings no real damage threat or wide pressure. A team that simply out-damages or bursts down her carries before her slow protective loop matters can race past her.
