Wretched Rose

Wretched Rose is a 4-star Light Soul Weaver who plays as a durability-focused support rather than a damage dealer. Her one attack is a single-target sword strike that can cloak her in stealth for a turn, and her passive opens the fight by granting all allies extra Critical Hit Resistance and lets her revive once after dying. Her centerpiece skill cleanses every debuff off her allies, heals them, and wraps the team in a two-turn barrier scaled to her own max Health, while also buffing herself and cutting her own cooldowns by two turns; once enhanced it instead hands the whole team time reversal and barriers off her max Health. She is built around big Health, keeping a team alive through burst windows and undoing damage rather than killing anything.

Countered by

• Buff strippers and dispel — Her whole identity is the buffs she hands out — crit resist, barriers, and self buffs. A dispel that removes those protections, or an effect that shortens their duration, peels the barrier off the team and exposes the allies she was guarding before the damage hits.
• Buff steal — Because she stacks valuable defensive buffs and barriers, an enemy that steals buffs not only strips her protection but turns it against her, flipping her own survivability tools onto the attacker.
• Unhealable and anti-revive effects — Her sustain leans on healing and her one-time self-revive. An enemy that blocks healing shuts down her recovery on the team, and an anti-revive effect denies the comeback her passive is supposed to provide, leaving her with little to fall back on.
• Pressure during her long cooldowns — Her cleanse-heal-barrier skill sits on a seven-turn cooldown and the self-revive on five, and she has no real offense of her own. An enemy that kills or hard-controls her, or simply forces the team through a window before her big skill is back up, beats her since she can only protect, not punish or threaten.
