Elvira54%- Buff stealers and buff strippers — Her protection plan is the team barrier and her self speed-up; an enemy that dispels or steals those buffs erases her contribution and can even turn her speed boost against her.
- Buff-duration reducers — Her barrier lasts three turns and her self speed-up only two, on a four-turn cooldown, so shortening those durations leaves a coverage gap she cannot refill until the skill comes back up.
- Unhealable inflictors — All of her sustain is healing scaled off max Health; an enemy that blocks healing shuts off her passive recovery entirely and reduces her to barriers and cleanses alone.
- Pure offense that ignores her low threat — She deals only chip single-target damage and brings no crowd control or damage debuffs, so a fast attacker can simply race past her support and delete an ally before her end-of-turn heal or next barrier lands.

Zio48%- Damage-over-time and debuff-stacking teams — Her first skill cleanses a debuff from an ally every single turn with no cooldown, and her passive heals the lowest-Health ally at the end of each turn, so poisons, bleeds, and piled-on debuffs get stripped and the chip damage gets undone before it adds up.
- Control comps that lean on stuns, silence, and slows — The recurring single-target cleanse can lift a stun, silence, or other crowd control off a key ally turn after turn, letting the team keep acting through lockdown attempts.
- Burst and wide-hitting attackers — Her third skill blankets the entire team in a Health-scaled barrier for three turns, soaking the opening burst and cushioning multi-target swings so allies survive long enough to answer back.
- Defense-break and HP-scaling bruisers — Constant end-of-turn healing plus team barriers blunt the steady, big-number damage those threats rely on, out-sustaining their attrition while she carries no fragile damage trade of her own.
