Best counters to Surin
- Cleansers — Her damage lives in the bleed stacks; wiping those debuffs off the target collapses both her over-time damage and the scaling on Implosion, leaving her finisher nearly empty.
- Debuff immunity and immunity buffs — If the target can't be inflicted, her bleeds and Attack reduction never land, so she has no stacks to detonate and no Combat Readiness to recover.
- Wide or multi-target teams — Every skill she has hits only one enemy, so she can pressure a single target but can't threaten a spread-out enemy line the way an area attacker can.
- Burst before she ramps — With no passive and her payoff gated behind a five-turn Implosion, a team that bursts her or her detonation target before the stacks mature denies her whole game plan.

Briar Witch Iseria56%- Tanky bruisers and high-health frontliners — Her bleeds tick off her own Attack and Implosion hits harder the more bleeds are stacked, so she grinds down even high-health frontliners over a couple of turns rather than being walled by their bulk.
- Enemy attackers and damage dealers — Edge Smash layers a Decrease Attack debuff on top of the bleeds, blunting an opposing carry's damage while she chips it down over time.
- Slow, setup-reliant single targets — Implosion hands her up to 75% Combat Readiness back, so she can take an extra turn and re-detonate before a slower priority threat ever acts.
- Anything she opens on — As a fast first-strike threat she front-loads bleeds early, then extends those debuffs an extra turn with Implosion so the pressure outlasts a single rotation.
