Sez is an Ice Thief who finishes off wounded enemies and only grows stronger as their Health drops — every one of his attacks deals more damage the more HP the target has already lost. His first skill can mark an enemy unhealable for a turn, his ultimate Conviction lands a lethal blow that, on a kill, prevents the victim from being revived and splashes attack-based damage onto everyone else. His passive Die Hard caps the damage any single hit can do to him, and whenever an ally strikes a target at 30% Health or less it triggers Encroach, an area dark-energy burst that also pushes his own Combat Readiness by 30% so he can act again quickly.

Counters

  • Healing- and lifesteal-reliant teams — His first skill can stamp an enemy unhealable for a turn, and his lost-HP scaling means the lower a foe is dragged, the harder he hits — so comps that rely on out-healing damage get their recovery shut off right as he finishes the job.
  • Revive and survivability cheese — Conviction's kill applies extinction, blocking the target from being brought back. Enemies leaning on revivers or second-life tricks lose their safety net once Sez secures the kill.
  • Low-Health and chip-softened targets — Damage on every skill grows with the enemy's lost Health, and his passive Encroach auto-fires an AoE hit the moment an ally drops someone to 30% or less, turning a softened backline into clean follow-up kills.
  • Burst assassins and single-hit nukers — Die Hard caps the damage any one attack can deal to him as a share of his max Health, so opponents who depend on a single oversized hit to delete him struggle to land the kill.

Countered by

  • Cleanse and dispel — His unhealable mark is just a debuff — a cleanse on the affected ally or a dispel wipes it off, restoring full healing and undoing the one tool that pressures sustain teams.
  • Immunity buffs — An immunity barrier applied before he strikes simply blocks the unhealable debuff from landing, so a prepped enemy team neutralizes that part of his kit outright.
  • Buff steal and shortened buff duration — His attack self-buff and the Combat Readiness gain that fuel his tempo can be stolen or cut short, slowing the extra turns he depends on to chain into finishers.
  • Long cooldowns and conditional triggers — Conviction sits on a six-turn cooldown and Encroach only fires when an ally has already pushed a target to 30% or less; against full-Health, well-defended frontlines with no setup, Sez has little immediate burst and his single-target lethal hit must wait.
