Roana

Roana is a 5-star Earth Soul Weaver whose ultimate blankets the entire team in a barrier and a revive for 2 turns, and whose passive reacts to multi-hit aggression: when an ally is struck by an extra attack, counterattack, or Dual Attack, she heals the whole team and pushes everyone's Combat Readiness up by 5% per ally hit. Her protection scales off her own max Health. Her first skill attacks one enemy and shields the lowest-Health ally for 2 turns. She is a defensive anchor that punishes Dual-Attack and extra-attack teams rather than a damage dealer.

Countered by

• Buff strippers — Her entire kit is barriers and a revive buff. An enemy that strips ally buffs can wipe the team's shields and the revive before they matter, leaving the squad exposed.
• Unhealable appliers — Her passive sustain and barrier recovery lean on Health restoration. An enemy that applies an effect blocking Health recovery shuts off her healing and neuters her ability to keep allies alive.
• Patient single-target focus fire — Her ultimate's revive and barrier are on a 5-turn cooldown, and her shield only protects the single lowest-Health ally each cast. An enemy that waits out the ultimate and then locks down one target can punch through before her protection cycles back.
• Comps that avoid triggering her passive — Her healing and Combat Readiness engine only fires on extra attacks, counterattacks, or Dual Attacks. A team that lands clean single hits without follow-ups gives her passive nothing to react to, sharply reducing her output.
