Who Counters Laia in Epic Seven?
Earth · Warrior · 5★ · 49% RTA win rate
Laia, a penetrating team cd-reset duelist, is a 5★ Earth Warrior in Epic Seven. Laia's biggest weakness: her self-sustain and snowball both depend on the kill-heal from her bass strike; an enemy that makes her unhealable shuts off that recovery, so she cannot heal back up after diving in and her chained-kill momentum stalls. Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Laia in RTA, the matchups where Laia struggles most, and how to draft against Laia.
Best counters to Laia
- Heal-blocking effects — Her self-sustain and snowball both depend on the kill-heal from her bass strike; an enemy that makes her unhealable shuts off that recovery, so she cannot heal back up after diving in and her chained-kill momentum stalls.
- Targets she cannot kill in one strike — The heal and extra turn only trigger when her bass attack actually defeats the enemy. Against a healthy target, a shield, or strong damage reduction she fails to secure the kill and gets neither the recovery nor the follow-up turn.
- Critical-resistant or sturdy defenders — Her bass strike cannot land a critical hit by design, so it gives up the burst ceiling other attackers get and can struggle to push a sturdy target into kill range on a single swing.
- Spread-out comps with no soft pick — She attacks one enemy at a time with no way to hit the whole team, so against a comp where nobody is in kill range she cannot trigger her kill-reset loop and is left grinding through health bars without her snowball.

Unbound Knight Arowell62%- High-defense walls and stall comps — Her bass strike ignores the target's Defense entirely, so tanky bricks that lean on big armor values take full damage regardless of how much Defense they pile on.
- Single tough threats she can finish off — Killing a target with her bass attack heals her off her own max Health and grants an extra turn, so against a vulnerable key enemy she snowballs, recovering and immediately swinging again to clean up the rest.
- Debuff-heavy and crowd-control teams — Her team cleanse wipes every debuff off all allies at once, undoing stuns, silences, damage-over-time, defense breaks and other lockdown, while the Combat Readiness push lets allies act before the enemy can re-apply it.
- Slow turn-cycle opponents — She pushes her own and the whole team's Combat Readiness and shaves cooldowns, helping her side fire off rotations faster than enemies who depend on getting their own skills back up first.
