Who Counters Wandering Prince Cidd in Epic Seven?

Ruele of Light, Empyrean Ilynav, Lionheart Cermia and other hard counters counter Wandering Prince Cidd. His core damage threat is the bomb planted by Narrative Retcon; an ally cleanse simply wipes the bombs before they detonate, removing the payoff and leaving only the slow.

Teams with cleansing: His core damage threat is the bomb planted by Narrative Retcon; an ally cleanse simply wipes the bombs before they detonate, removing the payoff and leaving only the slow. Debuff immunity and barrier setters: If enemies enter the fight with immunity, his bombs, Defense break, and slow all bounce off, neutralizing his entire disruption package. Single-target focus and burst: Cidd himself is a frail 4-star Mage with no self-protection or healing, so a hero who simply focuses him down removes the passive turn-control before it can swing the fight. Slow, control-light enemy comps: His passive does nothing unless an ally first lands an all-enemy attack, and Narrative Retcon sits on a five-turn cooldown, so against opponents who do not field a multi-hit ally for him to ride or who outlast his cooldowns he contributes little on his own.

Fast enemy carries that want the first turn: His passive hits the enemy with the highest Combat Readiness and drops their turn gauge by 20% while pushing his own fastest ally forward by 20%, so a rival's would-be opener gets pushed back and his team moves first instead. All-enemy attackers and cleave teams: Natural Storyteller only triggers off an ally's hit that targets all enemies, and the bomb from Narrative Retcon lands on the entire enemy line, so the wider the enemy formation the more value he extracts from his follow-up and his board-wide pressure. High-Defense bruisers and walls: Spiral Cut can decrease the target's Defense, and the bombs from Narrative Retcon deal fixed-style damage on detonation that ignores how tanky the target is, chipping down heroes who would otherwise shrug off normal hits. Tightly-timed enemy turn orders: Narrative Retcon slows the whole enemy team for two turns and his passive yanks the lead enemy's gauge backward, scrambling any composition that relies on a precise sequence of turns to combo.
