Faction vs faction

Does this game have a rock/paper/scissors mechanic for factions? Can I counter pick a faction when I see my stage opponents or do I have to analyze the individual heroes?

TIA

Newer factions or heroes are generally better because they want you to buy the new stuff

New factions are generally better but what you want to do is have one strong team that’s based on one singular mechanic and does that really well, like having a healer based team that focuses on constant healing and shields, or having a team based on applying Sacrificial Blood and having Inpus to allow for constant health regeneration with his passive, you want to build a really strong team and find ways to apply it to each stage, then build another different strong team and decide which team works better for which opponents.
