Any tips on countering this?

So.. I just played arena and got badly wrecked by this team.

Kahuna, samurai shizu and miu, berserker Freya and GS cybella. Fact is, by the second turn, his miu consecutively attacked by team 12 times, leaving by team with less than 20% hp. By the third turn or so, miu attacked consecutively 8 times again, which subsequently put my poor team to rest.

So, anyway to counter the ever triggering aura? No I'm not salty (maybe a little) but I wanna know the way to fight back against such shits because I basically lost 5 seconds into the game. Any constructive tips are welcomed.

He only have two ranged units..just dont walk forward into the tiles and let his miu move forward instead, and you should be able to easily kill him with any champ/shadow

I see some people have already gotten this setup under their radar and is using it even on arena. Time to reveal I guess?

This team composition has 4 key units,
- Samurai Shizu
- Spiritwalker Kahuna
- Lifesteal Aura Hero
- Main DPS

The logic behind this comp is to keep the main DPS keep triggering self to attack via Shizu and Kahuna's aura. Shizu just requires a unit to attack while under her aura to trigger self to attack again. Kahuna on the otherhand requires a unit on his aura to get healed to trigger that unit to attack. With the help of lifesteal aura and vampiric rune, the main DPS gets a total of 3 instance of 30% chance to trigger self to attack again per attack, again read that carefully to know how it works.

Three
30%
Chance
to attack again
PER
attack

Your enemy has mixed the Main DPS and Lifesteal Aura role in 1, which is Miu and is probably using vampiric rune. Therefore, to counter this super triggerfest, you just need to kill Miu or disable her.

This setup was what I used to clear PoE 30 w/o having a Miu myself. I used a Leon instead while Berserker as the main DPS.

Let his Miu/Leon out of Kahuna's Aura by letting them step into the tiles. Kahuna is an enhancer of Miu with vampire aura.

1.) Use first your range heroes to attack miu until she moves into the tiles and out of Kahuna's aura
2.) Wreck Kahuna or Miu.
3.) ???
4.)  Profit

or

1.) Disrupt the formation with a Ninja Kai/Shizu
