How to Beat Aine Overview

Aine
PvE Rank	PvP Rank

Base Rarity	Soul	Type	Role
SR (Limited)	Radiance	Sniper	Debuffer

Aine can be a threat as the buffs and debuffs from her skillset are not dispellable.

Her Siren's Song and Ayre of Eternity skills offer significant damage output and debuff potential, while Melody of Wishes provides crucial protection for her allies. Despite its initial self-debuff, A Demon's Whispers can significantly boost her ATK as she manages its stacks. Aine's versatility and ability to adapt to different situations make her a formidable opponent in combat.

Aine Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths	Weaknesses
• High-damage output to enemies with the highest ATK, a chance to reduce CRIT chance. • Ayre of Eternity multiple activations, debuff potential, and conditional damage boost. • Melody of Wishes provides shields to allies and increases CRIT Res. • Increases ATK with decreasing Demon's Temptation stacks, which Melody of Wishes can partially remove.	• Random debuff effect. • Self-debuff, conditional damage boost, random targeting. • Melody of Wishes has a long cooldown; Shield depends on the target's unique type stat. • Initial self-debuff, requires strategic use of Melody of Wishes.

Aine Skill Analysis

Siren’s Song

Ayre of Eternity

Siren's Song is great for targeting high-ATK enemies and reducing their critical hit potential, but it relies on RNG and has limited initial targeting.

Ayre of Eternity offers strong debuffing and reactivation potential, but it comes with a self-debuff and random targeting, making it less predictable.

Melody of Wishes

A Demon’s Whispers

Melody of Wishes provides strong protective capabilities and critical hit resistance, but its effectiveness is limited by its turn-based activation and shield overwriting.

A Demon's Whispers offers a scalable ATK boost that synergizes well with Melody of Wishes, but it starts with a significant debuff that needs to be managed.

Witches to Beat Aine

Aine Hard Counters

Cordie

Cordie's skills can effectively counter Aine due to her high burst damage, debuff synergy, and undispellable buffs. The Quick & The Dead and Fanning Shots provide significant burst damage, which can quickly reduce Aine's HP and mitigate her ATK boost from [Demon's Temptation].

Fanning Shots guarantees critical hits on debuffed targets, enhancing its effectiveness. All Eyes on Me! and Smoke and Gunpowder offer undispellable buffs, ensuring Cordie maintains high damage output and debuff resistance.

Cerberus

Wailing Lightning Claws and Storm of Tartarus provide significant damage output, with the latter offering an instant defeat mechanic for weakened enemies.

Magic Words dispels debuffs and grants [Debuff Immunity], protecting Cerberus from Aine's debuffs, while Uncontrollable Heart ensures consistent ATK boosts and increased critical hit chances.

Paladea

Black Flames of Justice and Bullet Storm deal significant damage and reduce critical resistance. Witch of Justice increases Paladea's critical hit rate, enhancing her damage output over time. Supreme Commander provides [Multi-Barrier] layers that nullify significant damage, protecting Paladea and her allies.

Aine Sample Counter Teams

Debuff-Heavy Team

Tank	Attacker	Buffer	Debuffer	Debuffer
Summer Amleth	Paladea	Merlyn	Soltina	Nina

This team focuses on combining high damage output, debuff application, buff removal, and strong support capabilities. Paladea and Amleth deal high burst damage; Merlyn provides critical support by dispelling debuffs from allies and healing the team. Soltina and Nina with debuffs, disrupting Aine's actions and reducing her effectiveness.

High Damage Output Team

Attacker	Buffer / Debuffer	Debuffer	Attacker	Buffer
Cordie	Milla	Kaguya	Florence	Primavera

Cordie and Florence provide the main damage output, enhanced by Kaguya's critical buffs. Milla's [Delay] debuff and self-healing add resilience, while Primavera's debuffs and buffs disrupt Aine's actions and bolster the team's performance.

Witches Not To Use Against Aine

Moddey

Avoid characters that rely on sustained damage over time, as Aine's [Shield] and potential ATK boosts can make prolonged battles difficult.

Valeriede

Natasha

Characters that lack effective crowd control abilities may struggle to disrupt Aine's actions and manage her [Demon's Temptation] stacks.

Freesia

Characters relying heavily on buffs might be less effective if Aine's team has dispel abilities or cannot bypass her [Shield].

Tips for Beating Aine

Burst Damage Characters

Focus on burst damage to quickly reduce Aine's HP or defeat her allies that can be shielded before she can truly benefit from her ATK Boost.

Apply Debuffs

Utilize Fainted, Silence, or other movement-hindering debuffs to prevent Aine from acting and reducing her [Demon's Temptation] stacks.

Use PM. DEF Break Runes

Since the [Shield] that Melody of Wishes granted cannot be dispelled, you must strengthen your characters' DEF Break to break the shields. The shields granted by Melody of Wishes are the condition for [Demon's Temptation] to give Aine her ATK Boost.
