Elvira44%- Anti-counter and crowd control — Her whole identity leans on the team Evasion plus counterattack engine; stuns, freezes, sleep, or kits that simply prevent counterattacks shut down the dodge-and-retaliate loop and stop her from snowballing turns.
- Cleansers and Effect Resistance / immunity — Rouge Aroma's beguile and decreased Hit Chance can be wiped by a cleanse, and against targets with equal-or-greater max Health she does NOT ignore their resistance, so high-Effect-Resistance or immunity-protected enemies can shrug the debuffs off entirely.
- Unhealable and anti-heal pressure — She sustains through Horizontal Slash lifesteal and pays Health to fire Bewitching Blossom; applying unhealable or heal-block leaves her bleeding HP with no way to recover, making the lost-Health gamble lethal to herself.
- Accuracy buffs that bypass her dodge — There is no stat that boosts Evasion beyond her flat 30%, so a kit-level accuracy buff or the right artifact makes every attack connect, collapsing her team-wide Evasion plan and the counters it feeds.

Fern54%- Buff-reliant frontlines and shield/immunity teams — Her Rouge Aroma strips every buff from the entire enemy team before it lands its debuffs, so enemies leaning on shields, attack buffs, or pre-applied protection get peeled bare in a single button. It also ignores Effect Resistance against any target with less max Health than her, so a beefy Setsuka reliably forces beguile and decreased Hit Chance to stick on squishier foes.
- Evasion-punishable hit-rate strugglers — Setsuka grants all allies 30% Evasion and counters whenever an ally dodges, turning the whole team into a dodge-and-retaliate wall; enemies who can't apply accuracy and are forced to keep swinging into that evasion feed her counters and waste turns.
- Slow attackers she can race and b-line — She is a fast Assassin, and once her Fighting Spirit fills she pushes her own Combat Readiness by 50% off Blade Art: Bewitching Blossom, taking extra turns to dispel and pressure before slower units act.
- Single high-value or tanky targets — Horizontal Slash hits one enemy and both its damage and lifesteal scale with her huge max Health, so she chunks and sustains off a chosen bruiser, while Bewitching Blossom adds an all-enemy follow-up that scales with the Health she just spent.
