Who Counters Sea Phantom Politis in Epic Seven?

Lady of the Scales, Notos, Shepherd of the Dark Diene and other hard counters counter Sea Phantom Politis. Her disruption is buff removal; a teammate who reapplies key buffs or cleanses can simply restore what she strips, blunting both her single-target dispel and her ultimate.

Enemies that re-apply or cleanse their own buffs: Her disruption is buff removal; a teammate who reapplies key buffs or cleanses can simply restore what she strips, blunting both her single-target dispel and her ultimate. Effect immunity protecting the Speed reduction targets: Although her ultimate ignores Effect Resistance for the strip, an immunity buff already in place blocks the Speed-down debuff entirely, so the slow portion of her ultimate fizzles against pre-buffed enemies. Her own dispel being turned against her stealth and enrage: She leans on staying enraged for the extra Dual Attack and on stealth for survival; an enemy dispeller can remove her enrage stance — cutting off the bonus attack — or strip the stealth that keeps her safe. Burst before her ultimate comes back up: Her full buff-stripping and team-enraging payload sits on a 5-turn cooldown, and her own offense is a single-target hit; aggressive teams that pressure her in the window between ultimates, or that simply outrace and kill her fragile body, avoid the worst of her disruption.

In current Champion+ RTA, Lady of the Scales has one of the strongest records against Sea Phantom Politis (57% win rate over 17,597 games).

Teams stacked with protective buffs: Her basic strips one buff and her ultimate tears two buffs off every enemy at once, and because the ultimate ignores Effect Resistance the strip lands even through high-resist defensive lines, undoing shields, immunity, and other defensive layers. Enemies that survive on Invincibility, Immortality, or barriers: Removing the buffs that keep them alive collapses their survival window; once the protective effect is dispelled, her allies' damage goes through instead of being absorbed or denied. Fast, tempo-hungry comps that want to act first: Her passive permanently reduces enemy resource gain by 50%, and her ultimate also lowers enemy Speed for 2 turns, so opponents who rely on getting their turns early or chaining a fast opener find their gauge and turn order dragged backward. Buff-stacking offensive setups: By dispelling the attack and readiness buffs those teams pile on, she denies the snowball before it triggers, while her own enrage and Dual Attack let her team punish the now-exposed enemies.
