Schniel

Schniel is a 5-star Earth Soul Weaver support built around protecting her team from debuffs. Her basic skill chips one enemy while cleansing a single debuff from an ally, and her passive is the heart of the kit: it raises her max Health and, whenever an enemy lands poison or venom on an ally, it triggers a full team-wide Cleanse that strips every debuff from all allies, grants them a turn of immunity, and resets her own cooldowns. Her only multi-target attack hits the whole enemy team, pushes her own turn meter, and adds fixed true damage that ramps from 4,000 up to 12,000 the more she uses it, ignoring defenses entirely.

Counters

• Poison and venom damage-over-time teams — Her passive specifically triggers off an ally being inflicted with poison or venom after an enemy acts, and answers it by wiping all debuffs from the whole team and granting a turn of immunity, so sustained-poison comps see their stacks erased before they can do work.
• Heavy debuff-stacking and control comps — The team-wide cleanse plus one-turn immunity peels off stuns, silences, slows and other crowd control the instant they pile up, and she can also single-cleanse an ally on demand with her basic, keeping her team free to act.
• Defense-shredding cleave setups — Beyond cleansing, she hands out a defense-up buff and team damage reduction, blunting attempts to strip her allies' defenses and burst them down.
• Defensive and barrier-reliant walls — Her ramping fixed true damage ignores defenses and barriers, dealing a flat chunk that climbs to 12,000 per hit across the whole enemy team, so high-defense or shielded targets cannot soak it the way they would normal damage.

Countered by

• Buff stealers and buff-stripping units — Her protection leans on the immunity and defensive buffs she grants; an enemy that steals or dispels those buffs removes the immunity window and defense-up before they can shield her team.
• Buff-duration shorteners — The cleanse only grants a single turn of immunity, and any effect that shortens buff duration can collapse that window almost immediately, leaving allies exposed to the next wave of debuffs.
• Non-poison debuffers and pure stat-down attackers — Her marquee cleanse only fires when an ally is hit with poison or venom; teams that control or pressure with other debuffs, or that simply burst with raw damage, never spring the trap and face only her on-demand single cleanse.
• Burst openers that race her cooldowns — Her team-wide attack sits on a five-turn cooldown and her own turn-meter push only helps herself, so a faster opener can pile on damage during the gaps before her protective passive or wipe is available.
