What Fanny is bad at
- Extremely low base durability; a single landed CC chain from an enemy tank or control mage usually kills her outright.
- Entirely reliant on terrain and walls to chain Steel Cable; open areas with no obstacles strip her of nearly all mobility.
- One of the steepest learning curves in the game, with cable-canceling and momentum management taking extensive practice.
- Falls off completely if caught without energy for Steel Cable, since she has no other escape tool.

Soft counters
Favourable, but Fanny can still play around them.
BrunoMarksmanSoftBruno's long attack range and burst basic attacks punish Fanny the moment she lands from a cable chain, before she can reposition.
BrodyMarksmanSoftBrody's Torn-Apart Memory detonates every Abyss Mark he has stacked on her, scaling off her lost HP, so a Fanny already chipped down dies the moment she lands.
MashaFighter · TankSoftMasha's three HP bars and Wild Power's percentage-HP Basic Attacks let her tank through Fanny's burst and punish her low durability in a straight fight.
ZilongFighter · AssassinSoftZilong's Spear Flip throws Fanny backwards the moment a cable run puts her on the ground, breaking the chain she needs to keep her energy up, and Supreme Warrior's attack-speed burst cuts through her low durability regardless of defensive items.
MoskovMarksmanSoftMoskov's piercing spear and long range punish her while she's mid-air between cable chains, before she reaches him.
ObsidiaMarksmanSoftObsidia's Hunt of Bone stuns Fanny, tethers herself to her and locks her out of displacement skills, so the cable chain can't take her back out.
