Yufine, a aoe dispel silence cleaver-bruiser, is a 5★ Earth Warrior in Epic Seven. Yufine's biggest weakness: her control hinges on Defense Down and Silence sticking; a teammate that cleanses those debuffs or pre-applies immunity removes both her shred and her CR-snowball trigger, since that needs a debuffed enemy. Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Yufine in RTA, the matchups where Yufine struggles most, and how to draft against Yufine.
Cleanse and immunity supports — Her control hinges on Defense Down and Silence sticking; a teammate that cleanses those debuffs or pre-applies immunity removes both her shred and her CR-snowball trigger, since that needs a debuffed enemy.
Effect-clearing answers — Heroes that steal buffs, shorten buff duration, or dispel on their own undercut her — they can pre-empt or neutralize her S2's buff-stripping advantage and the Attack buff her S3 sets up.
Burst before she sets up — She has no passive and her dispel/Silence and her finisher both sit on five-turn cooldowns, so a fast nuke team can open and take her out before her control or extra-turn engine comes online.
Enemies kept clean of debuffs — Her tempo engine only pushes her Combat Readiness when an enemy carries a debuff; against a team that stays debuff-free her S3 stops generating free turns and she slows to an ordinary single-target attacker.

Buff-stacked frontlines — Her S2 dispels a buff from every enemy, so it tears down teams that rely on layered Attack, Defense, or immunity buffs to function.
Bulky single targets — Both S1 and S2 can stamp Defense Down, and S3 self-buffs Attack before a massive single hit, letting her cut through high-Defense threats and finish them — a kill on S3 hands her an extra turn.
Caster-reliant supports — Her S2 can Silence for a turn, shutting off an enemy's active skills so a key support or controller can't cast on its next move.
Debuff-heavy team comps — While her S3 is off cooldown she gains 20% Combat Readiness whenever an ally acts against a debuffed enemy, so alongside debuffers she snowballs extra turns and out-tempos the enemy rotation.
