Silvertide Christy50%- Cleanse on the defenders — Her ultimate's only real pressure debuff is the chance-based Decrease Defense; an ally cleanse wipes it before she follows up, removing the setup her burst depends on.
- Pre-applied immunity — If targets already hold debuff immunity, her Decrease Defense never sticks, so her HP-scaling hits land without the armor break that makes them lethal.
- Sticky control after her nullifier is spent — Her skill nullifier only blocks one effect; a second stun, sleep, or provoke after that lands freely, and with no passive she has no built-in recovery to fall back on.
- Waiting out her cooldowns — Both Salvation and her ultimate sit on 5-turn cooldowns, so once the clone turn and the defense-break nuke are used she is left with only a single-target basic until they come back up.

School Nurse Yulha48%- Squishy single targets she can isolate — Her ultimate chips a target's Defense for 2 turns, then her HP-scaling spear plus the free Dual Attack from her strongest ally piles damage onto that one enemy, opening a window to delete a fragile backline pick.
- Enemies relying on one debuff to stop her — Salvation grants her a one-time skill nullifier that negates the damage of the next skill aimed at her, so a single big nuke meant to delete her is shrugged off and she still gets her extra turn.
- Slow openers and turn-order races — She sits in the fast speed band and Salvation hands her an immediate extra turn, letting her break Defense and trigger her ally's Dual Attack before slower comps can act.
- Comps with a single high-value enabler to copy — Her clone briefly duplicates one chosen Hero's full abilities on their own cooldowns, letting her double up the value of a key kit before slower teams stabilize.
