Belian59%- Effect immunity — An immunity buff applied before her turn blocks the silence, stun, and bind entirely, so her control and even her ultimate's lockdown simply fail to stick.
- Cleanse and crowd-control resistance — Allies who cleanse can immediately remove her silence, stun, or bind, undoing the disruption she spent skills setting up.
- Buff strip and buff-duration cuts on her side — Her sustained value leans on the Speed buff she grants herself; dispelling, stealing, or shortening that buff slows her back into the pack and erases her tempo advantage.
- Her own gating and reliability — The full buff-and-tempo blowout lives only on her 5-turn ultimate, her other two skills hit a single target, and the silence is only a chance, so once her ultimate is spent she offers limited pressure and her opener can whiff.

counterFallen Cecilia56%- Buff-stacking and buff-reliant teams — Her ultimate dispels every buff on all enemies and ignores their Effect Resistance, so it reliably wipes the attack boosts, immortality, invincibility, and barriers those compositions stack to function.
- Fast openers and cleave teams that need first turn — Her basic can silence and then knock 20% off that target's turn gauge, and her second skill stuns a key enemy for 2 turns, denying the tempo and the opening burst these teams rely on.
- Cooldown-dependent burst carries — Her ultimate adds a full turn to every enemy's skill cooldowns on top of binding them, delaying the big nukes and revives those carries need to come back online.
- Shield and sustain anchors that lean on buffs — By stripping buffs through resistance and locking targets with silence, stun, and bind, she neutralizes protectors whose value comes from keeping defensive buffs up.
