Favorite Nino Counters?

So I just reached this weird scoring threshold in Arena Assault where I'm suddenly running into a bunch of supermerged Nino. Any ideas for some hard Nino counters that I can invest in? Currently these are my go-to anti-Nino units:

Zephiel with Wary Fighter (can normally OHKO but a bit tricky)
Katarina (+SPD but is still sometimes outsped by Nino)
Felicia (with Fury/Desp has 40 speed and 38 res)
Sonya (G Tomebreaker means a Dark Excalibut Moonbow on retaliation)
Elinica (works only occasionally depending on how the AI moves)

Any other ideas? I'm looking more for units that can bait Nino but any suggestions are helpful!

Normal sanaki blows her up.

I am sure Lilina can take some punishment as an enemy phase unit if she has Distant Defense,though I 'm sure she will be even able to live a Desperation attack without it (I have her myself).And like above,Lilina obliterates Nino with a mighty high attack stat and Forblaze

Red mage and green tomebreakers

Anything that can trigger Panic Ploy is good.

EDIT: unless she's running an owl tome?

I don't struggle with Nino but I usually bait her with a supermerged QR3 vantage DC Hawkeye, a pretty high investment.

As someone who plays a lot of Nino, my Nino counter is usually...Nino. But to be serious, in my experience, if they can bait her before she has desperation active, DC armors like Zelgius/BK and Hector will give her a baaaad time.

Also brave archers will always kill her dead.

Brave bow

Or any red unit with TA

I use Ike, Xander and L! Lyn to take care of her in AA.
Ike can take one hit then kill her in one hit.
Xander with G. tome breaker can handle her.
And L! Lyn can bait her in enemy phase and then finish her in player phase.

You could consider QR on Felicia. Then she only needs to block the double. If Felicia doesn't have +atk or Plate+eff then make sure you buff her atk, because fully merged Nino can, under some conditions, take two hits and survive (but not if you activate glacies)

Kaze with the same idea will also work

Red DC units with high enough atk will OHKO Nino.
