Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Taeyou in RTA, the matchups where Taeyou struggles most, and how to draft against Taeyou.
Best counters to Taeyou
- Enemies who strip or shorten his buffs — His enraged stance, self speed-up, and one-time nullifier are buffs; a hero that dispels them, steals them, or cuts their duration turns off both his bonus Tidal Crash and his defenses.
- Pure attack teams that never use a non-attack skill — His passive only fires when an enemy uses a non-attack skill, so a team that just attacks denies him the enrage, cleanse, and nullifier his whole kit leans on.
- Burst before he gets going — His big buff-strip and cooldown delay sit on a 5-turn cooldown and his nullifier blocks only one skill, so a team that out-speeds him or focuses him down early gets to act before he can disrupt them.
- Single-target follow-through — Outside Tornado Sweep his offense is one-target damage with no healing or shielding of his own, so opponents who simply out-sustain or out-trade him in a straight fight wear him down.

- Cooldown-reliant powerhouses — Tornado Sweep pushes the highest-Attack enemy's cooldowns back by a turn twice, and once enraged it ignores Effect Resistance so that delay sticks even on high-resist bruisers, keeping their big skill offline.
- Setup and buffing supports — His passive triggers off any enemy non-attack skill, so the moment a support buffs, heals, or sets up, he cleanses himself, enrages, and gains a skill nullifier to shrug off their next control attempt.
- Debuff-and-control comps — Becoming enraged clears his own debuffs and the one-time skill nullifier blocks the next incoming skill, letting him slip stuns, silences, and stacked debuffs that would otherwise lock him down.
