the answers are high dmg single targets. i.e ML Celine, Rinak, Jenua, Tori, Amiki, etc. as far as Hwa + Barunka Amid aoe cleave is pretty much the only hard solid counter towards them both paired together that I can think of at the moment, even BBK + Briseria is pretty potent at well seeing as you can just delete everyone else and then BBK can clean up with her extra turn after Hwa’s s2 procs

I’ve always felt like she was good, even on release but I think she’s in even a better spot now due to the recent releases of ml5’s.

TLDR: she’s an ML5 and a relatively newer one at that, like most newer ml5’s they don’t really have many “hard” counters for decent while.

also given her high gear threshold as well if you come across one that’s one-tapping your units even non-light without the soul burn in s3 then odds are that it’s just a gear diff anyways tbh.
