What Miya is bad at
- No dash, blink or displacement in her kit — Hidden Moonlight only grants speed and stealth, not a hard escape
- Extremely item-and-level dependent; she contributes almost nothing to fights before her third or fourth core item
- Arrow of Eclipse is her only source of CC and carries an 8s cooldown, leaving her defenseless the rest of the time
- Lowest natural durability of any comparable marksman, so any dive that reaches her basically ends the fight

Hard counters to Miya
Pick one of these and the matchup is decided before the fight starts.
KhaleedFighterHardRaging Sandstorm charges the whole distance while Khaleed is immune to control, then stuns on arrival — a gap Miya's kit has no tools to prevent, since Hidden Moonlight only grants speed, not a hard escape.
TerizlaFighter · TankHardPenalty Zone jumps onto her, knocks her airborne and then has Scaffold hook her back three times, which kills through Miya's low durability before she can use Hidden Moonlight to escape.
BaratsTank · FighterHardDetona's Welcome charges in, devours Miya and suppresses her for 1.2 seconds before spitting her out inside his own team, bypassing her kiting entirely.
Soft counters
Favourable, but Miya can still play around them.
BelerickTankSoftDeadly Thorns fires damage straight back at whoever hits him, punishing Miya's core basic-attack playstyle every time she autos him, and Wrath of Dryad taunts her into keeping it up for another 1.5 seconds.
BaxiaTankSoftBaxia Mark shaves a flat amount off every separate instance of damage he takes, which blunts Miya's stream of small, fast basic attacks and Moon Arrow splash far more than it does one big hit.
ThamuzFighterSoftCauterant Inferno hands Thamuz a big block of extra max HP and heals him for the same amount, so Miya's steady basic-attack DPS alone can't out-damage him without a burst partner.
LyliaMageSoftBlack Shoes rewinds Lylia to where she stood four seconds ago with her HP restored, so an Arrow of Eclipse that finally lands buys nothing, and her Gloom zones out the ground Miya needs to stand on to attack.
GatotkacaTank · FighterSoftSteel Bones turns every point of HP he loses into Physical Defense, so Miya's sustained basic attacks make him harder to kill, and Avatar of the Guardian knocks her airborne with no counter in her kit.
FredrinnFighter · TankSoftCrystalline Armor stores the damage he takes as Crystal Energy and converts it back into HP as he deals damage, so trading basic attacks into him only fuels his sustain while Brave Assault closes distance faster than she can kite.
YveMageSoftReal World Manipulation rains up to 15 attacks anywhere in the Starfield and the slide slows by 50%, denying Miya the space to kite and auto-attack safely, and its range outpokes her basic attacks before items scale.
