Ivana51%- Effect immunity and cleanse — An immunity buff blocks her bleed, silence, and turn-meter push outright, and cleanse wipes the debuffs she lands or spreads, neutralizing her control before it sticks.
- Enemy dispel and buff theft — She relies on her own speed-up and her two stealth buffs to stay safe and act first; an enemy that strips or steals those buffs strips her stealth cover and tempo advantage.
- Buff-duration shorteners — Her stealth and self-speed are timed buffs, so anything that cuts buff duration shrinks her protection and her opening control window.
- Her cooldowns and single-target reach — Outside the AoE buff-strip, her real damage and her bleed/silence land on only one enemy, and the strongest skills sit on four- and five-turn cooldowns, so once they are spent she has little follow-up while she waits to come back online.

Lady of the Scales59%
School Nurse Yulha58%
Belian55%
Briar Witch Iseria56%
Empyrean Ilynav54%- Teams that lean on big buffs — Her gust strips two buffs from the entire enemy line and her heavy hit removes every buff on its target, so attack stacks, defensive buffs, and barriers all get peeled before they matter.
- Fast or first-move openers — She begins the fight in stealth and her skills knock enemy turn meter backward (50% on the big hit) while pushing her own forward, so she can deny the enemy's opening play and grab tempo first.
- Heroes that depend on their active kit — Her finisher ignores effect resistance and can land silence, shutting off skill use, while the spread effect and bleed pile lasting damage and debuffs onto priority targets.
- Survivability stacked on buffs — Because she dispels rather than out-damages, enemies relying on invincibility, an immortal heal-over-time, or a barrier to stay alive lose those layers, opening them up for her team to finish.
