Ivana51%- Buff removal and theft — Her durability and team protection lean on her self-buffs and the team barrier and Speed buff from Grace of the Battlefield; an enemy that dispels, steals, or shortens those buffs strips away the barrier and tempo she provides.
- Effect Resistance and immunity — Her control is entirely provoke and a hit-chance debuff; enemies who resist them or are protected by immunity simply ignore the taunt and are free to bypass her and strike her allies.
- Unhealable and anti-recovery effects — Her sustain depends on the barrier and her own bulk; applying unhealable cuts off her team's recovery and lets sustained pressure grind through the protection she sets up.
- Crit-immune avoidance and her own offense ceiling — Her passive forbids her from landing critical hits or heavy blows, so her direct damage is capped and predictable; opponents who don't need to attack her, or who can wait out her barrier's two-turn window, simply outlast her without taking the counterattack bait.
