Elvira54%- 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.

Briar Witch Iseria45%
Shepherd of the Dark Diene36%
School Nurse Yulha36%Perfumer Byblis35%- 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.
