I'd argue about whether they are Hard Counters or Soft Counters, but I think it doesn't really matter, since unless you are changing out your Glyphs for each fight to counter the enemies, players aren't likely to have specific counters
That's why I looked at them more in a general use case, how good a Glyph is at one specific scenario doesn't make it better then a good general perpose, particular when you can't have all Glyphs at once, flexibility is a big strength
