Emma, Attack! excels at burst damage due to its combination of physical and direct attacks, particularly effective against high HP targets.

On the other hand, Playing With Dolls♪ shines in sustained damage output, especially when Ivy is buffed and the enemy team's health is low.

Red Princess

Sooo Much Red♪

Red Princess	Level 1 (Unlocks by level 41) At the start of the battle, this skill increases Ivy’s ATK by 20% for 7 turns. When an ally is defeated, Ivy’s ATK is further increased by 20% (total increase of 100% max). Each time this buff increases her ATK, the buff’s remaining number of turns is extended to 7.
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 121) The increases in her ATK at the start of the battle and her ATK when an ally is defeated each become 30% (total increase of 150% max).

	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 141) The targets of the physical attack become 2 random enemies.
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 221) The chance to inflict［Fainted］becomes 50%.

Red Princess and Sooo Much Red♪ are valuable skills for Ivy, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. Red Princess maximizes Ivy's damage output, while Sooo Much Red♪ gives consistent damage and crowd control.

Witches to Beat Ivy

Ivy Hard Counters

Amleth

Amleth is a tank that had substantial damage when used to counter Ivy. Her active skills Crystal Breaker and Cutrains Cut Down can deal with Ivy whose active skills have 4-turn cooldowns.

Soltina

Soltina's Ice Spine has a high chance of inflicting Fainted which can disrupt Ivy's attack flow and prevent her from building up buffs. Snow Dream also inflicts sleep, further hindering Ivy's actions. She also has defensive capabilities that can be resistant to Ivy's burst damage.

Primavera

Primavera's Transcendent Melody can inflict Fainted which can disrupt Ivy's attack flow and prevent her from building up buffs. Les Rose Bleue can inflict Buff immunity on critical hits negating Ivy's Red Princess Buff.

Ivy General Counters

Ivy Sample Counter Teams

Damage and Support Team

Amleth's damage and survivability, combined with Fia's healing and support, form a solid core. Merlyn's dispels and buffs enhance the team's overall effectiveness. Sonya provides additional damage and control, while Sabrina's high-speed attacks disrupt Ivy's momentum. This composition focuses on mitigating Ivy's burst damage, removing harmful debuffs, and providing consistent support.

Disrupt Team

This team combines Soltina's crowd control and survivability with the high damage output of Tainted Iris and Rean, the debuff removal from Primavera and Cerberus, and the additional control and survivability from Rean. We want to disrupt Iby's action, mitigate her damage, and eliminate her quickly while protecting the team from her burst potential.

Witches Not To Use Against Ivy

Low HP, High Damage Dealers: These characters may be vulnerable to Ivy's burst damage, especially Emma, Attack!

Purely Buffers and Healers: While they can be good as support characters to a team, they can be vulnerable to Ivy's damage. Make sure that when you use them in a team, they are not in front of Ivy.

Self-damaging Characters: These characters may be vulnerable to Ivy's attacks while they also damage themselves for buffs or additional ATK boost damage.

Tips for Beating Ivy

Utilize Defensive Buffs

Use shields and damage reduction buffs to help mitigate Ivy's damage.

Focus Fire and SPD Runes

Prioritize taking down Ivy as quickly as possible to reduce her overall damage output. Take advantage of her cooldowns and be faster than her. Use SPD runes to make your main carry faster than Ivy.

Control the Battlefield

Use crowd control skills or movement-hindering skills to disrupt Ivy's attacks and protect your team. Use tanks and debuffers to stop Ivy.
