Last Rider Krau44%- Sturdy high-Attack carries — His Effect Resistance bypass only applies to targets with Attack lower than his own, so a fast, high-Attack opposing damage dealer can resist his dispel and act before he sets up.
- Out-speeding burst — He sits in an average speed band with no passive and no defensive self-sustain, so a faster team can simply open and delete him before his area attacks come online.
- Cooldown pressure — His buff-strip is on a 3-turn cooldown and his finisher on a 6-turn cooldown; once both are spent he is left with only a basic single-target swing, leaving windows to re-buff and recover.
- Wide teams diluting his nuke — His area attack only ramps in damage when three or fewer enemies remain, so against a full healthy team his hits land softer until their numbers thin out.

Perfumer Byblis46%
Aki52%- Buff-stacking and shield teams — His area attack dispels all buffs from every enemy before damage lands, wiping defensive layers like barriers, damage reduction, immortality, and invincibility that those teams depend on, then his nuke connects on undefended targets.
- High-Health bruisers and tanks — His finisher penetrates the Defense of the enemy with the highest max Health, so the bulkiest frontline cannot soak the hit the way it normally would.
- Counterattack defenses — His finisher cannot trigger a counterattack, letting him punch through counter-reliant walls without feeding their retaliation.
- Resistance-stacked control targets — Against any enemy whose Attack is lower than his, he ignores their Effect Resistance, so his buff-strip lands reliably on the supports and tanks that usually shrug off effects.
