What Cici is bad at
- Yo-Yo Blitz requires standing still and channeling for up to 3.5 seconds, making her vulnerable to interrupt from any hard CC
- Performer's Delight stacks decay if she stops dealing damage, so she loses her Movement Speed and sustain edge outside of continuous fights
- Curtain Call's second linked target only takes 20% damage from Yo-Yo Blitz if only one is within range, weakening the combo against spread targets
- No hard crowd control of her own beyond a slow, so she can't lock down a target that decides to simply walk away
Every counter below works by pressing one of these.

X.BorgFighterSoftFiraga Armor soaks her channel outright and regenerates once he's armorless, letting him outlast Cici in a straight duel.
MashaFighter · TankSoftThunderclap lunges at Cici through any control effect, and her three separate HP bars mean the percent-Max-HP channel has to chew through all of them.
