Enigma relies on Black Hole, a channeled vortex that pierces spell immunity and leaves enemies unable to move, attack or cast. Malefice, a targeted spell, lands repeated stuns that spell immunity or a spellblock stops. Eidolons multiply from successful attacks, so area damage kills them before they grow.
Counter items
Linken's SphereSpellblock absorbs the targeted Malefice before its repeated stuns begin.
Black King BarMalefice has no effect on a spell immune target, though Black Hole still pierces.
MaelstromChain Lightning leaps between nearby targets, punishing clumped Eidolons.
