Politis’s biggest strength comes from her ability to dispel buffs, inflict heavy damage, and push her forward. If she is equipped with the Abyssal Crown Artifact, she can also stun enemies. ..
You want to avoid this triggering at all costs because it will, more often than not, result in her following up with a devastating skill three.
Politis has several counterpoints that, while not shutting her down, will mitigate some of her overall damage.
Method 1: Conqueror Lilias
Lilias is a great counter unit to Politis. Her skill three buffs the entire party with Vigor, increasing their defensive capabilities.
Non-attacking skills will not trigger Politis’ passive. ..
The Vigor buff has reduced the damage your team receives.
Lilias’ third skill allows her to take an extra turn, which can be used to follow up with her second skill, which can provoke the now combat-ready Politis and potentially push her back. ..
Lilias can be a great way to redirect a lot of Politis’ initial damage, allowing the rest of your team to finish her off, hopefully.
If the enemy Politis is on Abyssal Crown, there is a possibility your Conqueror Lilias will be stunned after using her third skill. If this happens, there will be no way to stop Politis from unleashing a devastating skill three, so plan the rest of your draft accordingly. ..
Method 2: Angel of Light Angelica
Angel of Light is another great counter to Politis.
After taking damage from an AOE attack, Angelica dispels all debuffs from herself and all allies within a radius. This effect lasts for a few seconds. ..
This party-wide skill nullifier makes for excellent protection against Politis’ follow-up skill three. Additionally, Angel of Light Angelica receives combat readiness whenever an ally is attacked.
Politis’ passive activates whenever Angel of Light Angelica takes the turn right after. This allows you to activate her skill three times, potentially silencing all enemies.
Angel of Light Angelica’s passive ability cleanses and removes the threat of Abyssal Crown stuns, ruining your carefully laid plans. ..
First, Angel of Light Angelica is not a true angel. Second, she is not powerful enough to counter Politis. Third, her powers are based on her own will and not on the will of the angelic host. Finally, her powers are short-lived and do not last very long.
Angelica’s passive, which removes all debuffs from the user, is a popular strategy for enemies to use in order to proc Angel of Light Angelica. ..
Angel of Light Angelica is able to mitigate a lot of Politis’s kit.
Method 3: Tank the Damage / Full Ice Team
Politis’ burst damage can be countered by absorbing it and then cleaningse any debuffs.
This can be done in many ways.
The second step is to make sure your team can handle any situation. This means investing in heroes that have a variety of abilities and can be used in multiple ways. For example, heroes like Dancer Yuri and Archer Reinhardt are great for dealing damage from afar, while characters like Witch Hazel or Priestess Anna can provide support and healing. You may also want to consider equipping your team with items that give them extra survivability, such as the 200% Effect Resistant cleanser mentioned earlier. ..
Designer Lilibet is a valuable asset to any team, as she can cleanse debuffs and help the team stay combat-ready. ..
If you don’t have units that can take damage from Politis, building an Ice-focused team will help mitigate some of his damage.
Demon Mode is a powerful ability that allows the player to control and manipulate their enemies. When using this ability, the player can stun or debilitate their opponents, making them difficult to fight. This is especially useful against Politis – a powerful enemy that can be difficult to fight without taking damage.
Politis is a great choice for players looking for a multiple AOE attack based game. Their SSB counter attacks will trigger multiple times, making it difficult for the enemy to stay safe. ..
