Who Counters Last Piece Karin in Epic Seven?

Swift Flagbearer Sigret, Setsuka, Tori and other hard counters counter Last Piece Karin. Almost all her value rides on self-buffs — stealth, an Attack-based barrier, the Attack boost, and the Phantom Sword stance. Stripping these away removes her evasion-piercing, her protection, and her damage at once.

Buff strippers and dispellers: Almost all her value rides on self-buffs — stealth, an Attack-based barrier, the Attack boost, and the Phantom Sword stance. Stripping these away removes her evasion-piercing, her protection, and her damage at once. Buff stealers: Stealing her stealth, barrier, or Attack buff not only removes her advantage but hands it to the enemy, turning her own setup against her. Buff-duration shorteners: Her key edges are all time-limited 3-turn buffs on long cooldowns, so cutting their duration short leaves her exposed before her 4 and 5 turn skills come back up. Sustained or burst-heavy single fights: She only ever hits one target and leans on her own barrier and turn-order tricks rather than healing, so a target that out-sustains her or bursts her down while her barrier and stealth are on cooldown wears her out.

Evasion and stealth users: Her Phantom Sword stance lets her attacks ignore enemy evasion and reveal hidden foes, so dodge-tanks and stealth carries cannot slip her hits or hide from her. Damage-sharing protectors: While in her sword stance she bypasses damage-sharing effects, so the usual trick of routing harm onto a guardian or shared-damage unit fails to absorb her strike. High Effect Resistance targets: Her stance ignores Effect Resistance, meaning the Combat Readiness drain from Phantom Strike lands reliably even on enemies built to resist control. Fast openers racing for the first move: She is among the quickest units, pushes her own turn meter on her basic attack, and yanks 30% Combat Readiness off her target, so she can win the opening exchange and deny an enemy fast unit its turn.
