Who Counters Ken in Epic Seven?

Hecate, Bystander Hwayoung, Lionheart Cermia and other hard counters counter Ken. His pressure is Decrease Defense, Burn, and Stun; an ally that cleanses removes the armor break and unsticks the stunned target, leaving his single-target hits far less threatening.

Cleanse and debuff removal: His pressure is Decrease Defense, Burn, and Stun; an ally that cleanses removes the armor break and unsticks the stunned target, leaving his single-target hits far less threatening. Effect Resistance and immunity: His Stun and Defense break can be resisted or fully blocked by immunity, and his resistance-ignore only applies while in vigor, so a target immune before he sets up walks free. Buff strip and duration cuts: His kit keys off his self-granted Vigor and Speed-up; Vigor is undispellable so it can not be stripped or stolen, but removing his Speed-up still slows his Burn and resistance-penetration loop. Unhealable and spread-out teams: He only hits one enemy at a time with no area damage, so wide teams can absorb him on a throwaway target, and unhealable counters undercut the HP-pool durability he relies on.

High-Defense tanks and walls: He stacks Decrease Defense from both Knockout and Celestial Kick and his damage grows with his own max Health, so armor-reliant frontliners get melted while he stays bulky himself. Single priority threats he can lock down: Phoenix Flurry stuns the target for a turn while Celestial Kick grants him bonus Speed, letting him chain into a struck-down enemy and deny its turn, ideal for shutting off one dangerous carry. Enemies leaning on Effect Resistance: While in his vigor stance, Celestial Kick ignores Effect Resistance, so high-resist targets cannot shrug off his Defense break or control the way they would against ordinary debuffers. Sustain-reliant bruisers: His vigor-empowered Knockout applies a Burn that ticks each turn and his Defense breaks amplify incoming damage, wearing down opponents trying to out-heal the fight.
