Tidal Rift Elvira is a 5-star Dark Mage who starts every battle with Engulf, an undispellable buff that adds 100% Effectiveness and 100% Critical Hit Resistance and doubles the chance of all her effects. Her basic attack can seal the target, shutting off its passives, and on her own turn it can trigger Twisted Strike: an extra attack on all enemies that heals her and can inflict fear, a full turn skip. Wave of Curses curses every enemy except the target, so hitting one cursed hero damages the rest of the team too. Her attacks penetrate Defense but can never crit, and her passive pushes her own Combat Readiness forward for each debuff her team lands. When she takes lethal damage, Engulf breaks and gives Cascade to all her allies.

Counters

  • Counterattackers — Fear stops the target from acting, and Seal turns off passive counterattacks, so counter-based heroes get locked down instead of punishing her. She wins about 61% of the time against both Setsuka and Abyssal Yufine.
  • Critical-hit assassins — Engulf's +100% Critical Hit Resistance means crit-based burst almost never crits her, so she rarely dies to a one-shot. She beats Celine about 66% of the time.
  • Stealth and backline carries — Twisted Strike and Wave of Curses hit the whole enemy team, so hiding a carry behind stealth does not keep it away from her fear and curses.

Countered by

  • Team cleansers — Her value is almost entirely debuffs. Lady of the Scales and other area cleansers wash off the fear and curses and leave a mage that cannot crit.
  • Debuff immunity — Lisette's Divinity makes her immune to debuffs, so fear, seal and curse all bounce off her. Elvira wins only about 44% of the time against Lisette.
  • Crowd control — Engulf protects against critical hits, not debuffs. Control from heroes like Shepherd of the Dark Diene or Wanderer Silk still lands on her, and both hold her to 42-43%.
