Uncharted Pioneer Politis

Uncharted Pioneer Politis is a 5-star Ice Ranger who grinds the whole enemy team down with damage that always lands. Her basic attack hits all enemies, can dispel a buff, and adds 1,000 extra damage whether or not it hits. Her passive gives her a mission at the start of battle: +10% Attack for the team from the front row, or +10% max Health from the back row. When the mission is completed, she cleanses herself, gives the whole team Knowledge of the Stars (+100% additional damage) and takes an extra turn. Her awakened signature skill strips every buff from all enemies, adds one turn to all their cooldowns and adds 3,000 extra damage.

Counters

• Immunity and protective buffs — Her awakened S3 dispels every buff from every enemy before adding cooldown, so team immunity, barriers and defensive buffs all come off in one cast.
• Taunt tanks — Both of her damaging skills hit all enemies, so a taunt tank does not redirect anything. She beats Boss Arunka about 56% of the time.
• Cooldown-dependent carries — Adding a turn to every enemy cooldown delays a big signature skill. The 3,000 extra damage still applies even if the hit misses.

Countered by

• Revivers and full heals — Her damage is spread thin across the enemy team, and revives, full heals and time reversal undo it. Lisette beats her about 67% of the time.
• Immortality and damage sharing — Lady of the Scales keeps every ally alive through steady chip damage. Politis wins only about 41% of the time against her.
• Early crowd control — At 120 Speed with no immunity, she can be stunned or feared before her mission completes, which delays both the extra turn and the team damage buff.
