Robin

Robin is a 5-star Fire Ranger built around area pressure and tempo. Her single-target dagger inflicts Bleed, while her two area skills hit the whole enemy team: one fires a grenade launcher that dispels two buffs from each enemy, applies Burn, and pushes her own Combat Readiness by 50%, and the other extends the duration of existing enemy debuffs (except movement-blockers), inflicts Defense down, and grants her swift attack plus 25% Readiness whenever an ally takes an extra turn. The result is a fast opener and disruptor who strips buffs, breaks Defense, and stacks lasting damage-over-time. She has no passive and her extra-turn boost only works while that skill is off cooldown.

Counters

• Heavy buff-stacking enemies — Her grenade launcher dispels two buffs from every enemy at once, so teams that win by piling on shields, attack boosts and other buffs get peeled before they can cash them in.
• Defensive walls and damage-over-time targets — She breaks Defense on the whole enemy line and stacks Bleed and Burn, then extends the duration of those debuffs (except movement-blockers like stun), so durable bruisers and immortal-style survivors bleed out instead of out-healing her.
• Slow or methodical compositions — She self-boosts Combat Readiness by 50% on her launcher skill and grabs swift attack plus another 25% Readiness whenever an ally takes an extra turn, letting her open fast and act repeatedly before slower enemies get going.
• Barrier and shield reliant frontlines — Because she fires two buff-stripping shots across the whole team each rotation, protective barriers and shields are removed before they can absorb her follow-up burst and damage-over-time.

Countered by

• Cleanse and immunity — Her offense leans on Bleed, Burn and Defense down; an ally cleanse wipes those debuffs and immunity blocks them outright, so her damage-over-time pressure and Defense shred simply don't land.
• Enemy dispel or buff theft — Her tempo depends on the swift attack and Readiness surge she grants herself; an enemy that strips or steals those self-buffs collapses her extra-turn engine and slows her rotation back to normal.
• Effects that shorten buff or debuff durations — Her whole value is making debuffs last longer and keeping her own speed buffs up, so a unit that reduces buff or debuff durations directly undoes the extensions she just applied.
• Cooldown windows and no passive — The extra-turn assist only triggers while that skill is off cooldown, and she has no passive safety net, so bursting her down or baiting that skill leaves her a plain attacker with nothing reactive to fall back on.
