Who Counters Karin in Epic Seven?

Swift Flagbearer Sigret, Setsuka, Harsetti and other hard counters counter Karin. Her pressure leans on the defense break and bleed she lands; an ally cleanse wipes those debuffs off her target and undoes the setup she needs to finish a kill.

Cleanse support: Her pressure leans on the defense break and bleed she lands; an ally cleanse wipes those debuffs off her target and undoes the setup she needs to finish a kill. Immunity buffs: If the enemy already has effect immunity up, her defense break and bleed simply fail to apply, leaving her with raw single-target hits and no shred to punch through armor. Crit denial and tanky frontlines: Almost everything in her kit keys off landing crits: cooldown refresh, defense break, and bonus damage all require one. Block her crits or force her into a high-defense wall and her snowball stalls, and her hardest slash sits on a long cooldown. Multi-target threats and burst: She attacks only one enemy at a time and has no passive or self-protection, so a team that hits the whole side at once, or bursts her down first, removes a fragile assassin before she gets her rotation going.

Buff and shield stackers: She strips enemy buffs before connecting, so heroes who pile on attack, defense, or protective shields lose that stacked advantage when she opens on them. Squishy, low-defense targets: A crit on her rush move breaks the target's defense and her finisher hits even harder on a crit, letting her quickly delete a low-armor pick once the defense break lands. Heal-and-shield survival tanks: Bleed chips enemies down over time and bypasses protection, wearing down opponents who try to outlast her behind shields or sustained recovery. Slower line-ups she can race: Her fast base speed plus combat-readiness gain lets her act first and take extra turns, landing her opener and defense break before slower opponents set up.
