Dark · Thief · 5★ · 56% RTA win rate
Rhianna and Luciella, a twin-swap dispel chain assassin, is a 5★ Dark Thief in Epic Seven. Rhianna and Luciella's biggest weakness: fear, Bind, the Defense break, and erosion are all ordinary debuffs — one AoE cleanse undoes the entire setup, and fear even has a 40% chance to simply fall off on its own at the start of each turn. Against a good cleanser the twins have to redo their work every cycle. Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Rhianna and Luciella in RTA, the matchups where Rhianna and Luciella struggles most, and how to draft against Rhianna and Luciella.

Team-wide cleanse: Fear, Bind, the Defense break, and erosion are all ordinary debuffs — one AoE cleanse undoes the entire setup, and fear even has a 40% chance to simply fall off on its own at the start of each turn. Against a good cleanser the twins have to redo their work every cycle. Hard crowd control: They have no passive and win entirely through their own swap chain of extra turns and extra attacks. Catch them with a stun or fear before they start the sequence and the whole engine stops cold. Forced targeting: Heroes that force enemies to attack them drag the single-target dagger chain onto a beefy anchor instead of the backline support the twins actually want dead, wasting the burst on the one hero built to absorb it. Anti-heal effects: Luciella's health drain is the pair's only sustain. Landing unhealable on them shuts that recovery off, so any damage they take in return sticks — the burst chain still works, but they get much easier to wear down and finish.
In current Champion+ RTA, Unbound Knight Arowell has one of the strongest records against Rhianna and Luciella (57% win rate over 7,674 games).
Damage-sharing tanks: Pursuit of Death ignores damage sharing when the target is a Hero, so the hit lands in full on the intended victim instead of being split off to the protector. Comps built around pooling damage onto a tank lose that safety net entirely. Immunity-protected teams: Both the single-target chain and the finisher dispel two buffs before their debuffs are applied, so granted immunity is stripped first and Bind, the Defense break, and fear still get to land. Counterattackers and dual-attack teams: A hero under Bind cannot counterattack, activate extra skills, or join Dual Attacks outside its own turn — exactly when the twins are chaining extra turns and follow-up attacks into it. Retaliation-based defenses stand there and take the whole combo. Stealth-protected carries: Pursuit of Death attacks all enemies and strips two buffs from each of them, so a carry hiding behind stealth is both hit and exposed in the same cast, ready for the single-target chain to finish.
