Why these matchups go this way

A second opinion written by AI from each hero's kit (shown separately from the main matrix, so it may not match it exactly).

🟢 Blade beats easily

Cloak & Dagger His anti-heal shuts off exactly the constant sustain that defines this support duo.
Luna Snow Same problem: her healing becomes irrelevant under the anti-heal debuff.
Mantis His anti-heal cancels her sustain in close fights, taking away her biggest strength.

🔴 Blade struggles against

Adam Warlock His burst healing can make up for the anti-heal debuff if it arrives in time.
Emma Frost Her crowd control cuts his melee combo before he can finish it.
Storm Aerial pressure keeps her out of his melee range, canceling his main strength.
