Shooting Star Achates, a single-target reviver with immortality, is a 4★ Dark Soul Weaver in Epic Seven. Shooting Star Achates's biggest weakness: an enemy that blocks all revives turns off her signature Resurrection Magic entirely, so a dead ally stays dead no matter how many times she casts. Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Shooting Star Achates in RTA, the matchups where Shooting Star Achates struggles most, and how to draft against Shooting Star Achates.
Revive denial — An enemy that blocks all revives turns off her signature Resurrection Magic entirely, so a dead ally stays dead no matter how many times she casts.
Immortality removal — The Cannot Die buff is her main protection layer, and an enemy that dispels immortality or strips buffs can peel it off and finish the ally she just shielded.
Anti-heal and buff stripping — Setting an ally unhealable shuts off her max-HP top-up, while dispel or buff theft removes her Attack Up before it does any work — and she has no passive to fall back on.
Single-target ceiling and cooldowns — Every protective skill only touches one ally at a time, and her revive sits on a long cooldown, so wide burst that threatens multiple teammates at once, or back-to-back kills, can overwhelm what she can cover in a turn.
How to beat Shooting Star Achates
An enemy that blocks all revives turns off her signature Resurrection Magic entirely, so a dead ally stays dead no matter how many times she casts.
The Cannot Die buff is her main protection layer, and an enemy that dispels immortality or strips buffs can peel it off and finish the ally she just shielded.

Every protective skill only touches one ally at a time, and her revive sits on a long cooldown, so wide burst that threatens multiple teammates at once, or back-to-back kills, can overwhelm what she can cover in a turn.
Burst and assassin openers trying to delete a key ally — Her revive can pull a fallen ally straight back into the fight, and the alive-target version stacks three turns of Cannot Die plus Attack Up, so a one-shot opening that should have removed a teammate instead gets undone or pre-empted.
Heavy-hitting attackers worn down over time — Sparkling Star equalizes her HP ratio with an ally to the higher of the two and then heals more based on max health, and that ratio boost ignores increased or decreased healing effects, letting her stabilize a damaged carry even against anti-heal pressure.
Enemies that depend on landing their hits — Magic Design can inflict reduced Hit Chance for a turn, giving a fragile or whiffing enemy a real chance to miss the attack they were counting on.
Slow attrition matchups where staying power decides the game — Between an Attack Up buff that pushes ally damage and repeated single-target healing and revives, she helps a team simply outlast opponents who can't close out a kill.
