Luluca — Epic Seven Ice Mage: RTA Build, Counters & Win Rate

Luluca is a 5-star Ice Mage who doubles as an offensive caster and a team shielder. Her single-target Wild Wave can drop a target's Defense and deals more damage the more health that enemy has already lost, while Wave of Vengeance strikes the whole enemy team and can spread Defense-down across all of them. Between attacks she casts Rekos's Blessing to give every ally increased Defense plus a barrier that scales off her own Attack, soaking incoming damage. The kit pairs Defense-shredding offense with a genuine protective layer for the team.

Counters

Wounded, low-health enemies — Wild Wave hits one target harder the more health that enemy has already lost, so it punches above its weight finishing off anyone already softened up.
High-defense walls and bruisers — Both her single-target attack and her all-enemy strike can leave a Defense-down debuff, melting tanky targets that lean on raw Defense to survive.
Clustered enemy teams — Wave of Vengeance hits the whole enemy team at once and can spread Defense-down across all of them, opening the field for follow-up damage.
Burst-focused attackers — Rekos's Blessing puts a Defense buff and an Attack-scaling barrier on the entire team, soaking incoming hits and protecting allies from getting one-shot.

Countered by

Cleanse and immunity supports — Her Defense-down relies on landing and sticking; an ally cleanse wipes it off the target and team-wide immunity stops it landing at all, neutralizing her debuff pressure.
Dispel and buff steal — Her main team value is the Defense buff and barrier from Rekos's Blessing; stripping or stealing those buffs erases the protection she just spent a 4-turn cooldown to set up.
Buff-duration shorteners — Cutting the duration of her short two-turn Defense buff and barrier makes the protection expire early, leaving her allies exposed before the cooldown comes back.
Cooldown pressure and burst windows — Her team shield runs on a 4-turn cooldown and the all-enemy strike on a 5-turn cooldown, so racing her or bursting in the gaps catches her with no barrier up; she also has no passive to fall back on.
