Briar Witch Iseria54%- Cleansers — Her control hinges on the stun and the unbuffable debuff sticking; a team that cleanses simply wipes those off and neutralizes her lock-down.
- Effect immunity — If foes enter the fight with immunity, neither her stun nor her unbuffable debuff can land, leaving her with little more than chip damage.
- Teams that only attack — Her signature Tranquility only fires when an enemy uses a non-attack skill; purely aggressive comps that never cast buffs or heals starve her passive and rob her of her main payoff.
- Long Starfall cooldown — Her only area crowd-control, Starfall, sits on a five-turn cooldown, so once it is spent her disruption window closes and a team that weathers the opener can cycle turns freely until it comes back.

Successor Taeyou59%- Teams that lean on buffs and supports — Her passive reacts the moment an enemy casts a non-attack skill like a buff, heal, or cleanse, hitting the whole team and trimming a turn off every buff they put up; Starfall then locks foes out of being buffed entirely for two turns, so buff-stacking comps struggle to ever stay topped up.
- Fast turn-cycling and speed-stacked enemies — Against non-Elite, non-Boss foes she halves the Combat Readiness they gain, dragging down speed-team rotations, while her own Tranquility self-pushes her Combat Readiness by 30% to keep punishing them ahead of schedule.
- Single big threats she can lock down — Call of the Stars carries a stun chance, letting her freeze a key target out of its turn for a round and buy her team tempo.
- Enemy openers and setup turns — Because Tranquility triggers off non-attack skills and her basic can stun, she disrupts the setup phase before opposing teams can establish buffs and ramp up.
