Tori, a undispellable-buff cascade carry, is a 5★ Fire Assassin in Epic Seven. Tori's biggest weakness: the Attack and Speed buffs she hands her allies sit on those allies, not on herself, so they are not protected by her undispellable passive. An enemy that steals buffs can take the team's offense buffs and turn them around. Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Tori in RTA, the matchups where Tori struggles most, and how to draft against Tori.
Buff stealing — The Attack and Speed buffs she hands her allies sit on those allies, not on herself, so they are not protected by her undispellable passive. An enemy that steals buffs can take the team's offense buffs and turn them around.
Shortening buff duration — Her value is the three-turn team Attack and Speed buff. An enemy that cuts buff duration ends that window early, collapsing the tempo and damage edge she set up.
Dispel on her allies — While her own self-buffs cannot be stripped, the team-wide Attack and Speed she grants others can be dispelled off those allies, removing the support payoff even though Tori herself stays buffed.
Sustained chip and heal-blocking — Her damage cap only limits each individual hit, so multi-hit attacks, damage-over-time ticks, and effects that block healing slip past it. Repeated small hits or a heal-block let damage accumulate despite the per-hit ceiling, and her own offense is modest since her only attack is a single-target hit.

Dodge-reliant teams — Her main skill grants herself an Increase Hit Chance buff, and her passive makes buffs on herself undispellable so that accuracy sticks. Increased hit chance cancels the evasion roll, so heroes that lean on dodging her attacks get hit anyway.
Single-target burst and one-shot assassins — Her passive caps the damage she can take from any one attack to a set fraction of her max Health, so even a nuker that would normally delete her in a single hit only chips her. She survives the rotation meant to kill her.
Slower enemy lineups — She is naturally fast and her skill hands the whole team an Increase Speed buff for three turns, plus her passive can randomly grant her an extra turn off her self-buffs. That tempo lets her team move first and snowball turn order against slower compositions.
Damage races where her team needs a push — On top of speed she gives every ally an Increase Attack buff for three turns, raising the team's overall damage output to win attrition or DPS-check fights faster.
