Crozet — Epic Seven Ice Knight: RTA Build, Counters & Win Rate

Crozet is a 4-star Ice Knight defensive bruiser whose damage scales off his own Defense. His basic attack hits one target and can lower its Attack for a turn, while his ultimate is the real tool: a sword storm that strikes every enemy, pushes back their Combat Readiness, and has a 75% chance to provoke them for a turn. His passive watches over allies, and whenever one drops to 50% Health or below after being attacked it grants that ally a barrier scaled to their max Health plus bonus Defense for two turns. He is a sturdy frontline anchor who locks down the enemy team and shields his most endangered teammate rather than dealing burst damage.

Counters

Aggressive teams that rely on the first strike — His ultimate hits the whole enemy team and knocks back their Combat Readiness, delaying their turns and blunting a coordinated alpha strike before it can land.
Single damage dealers who need to land their hit — The 75% chance to provoke on his ultimate forces an enemy attacker to throw a basic attack at Crozet instead of its intended target, wasting its turn against his high Defense.
Burst attackers trying to snowball a kill — When an ally drops to half Health after taking a hit, his passive instantly grants that ally a max-Health-based barrier and extra Defense for two turns, denying the finishing blow and stabilizing the fight.
Heavy hitters he forces to fight him — His basic attack can lower an enemy's Attack for a turn, and as a Defense-scaling Knight he soaks those reduced hits while threatening real damage back.

Countered by

Cleansers and damage-reduction strippers — His control is built on the provoke from his ultimate; a teammate that cleanses the provoke or shortens its duration frees the locked enemy to act normally again.
Buff removal and theft — His value leans on the barriers and Defense buffs he hands out; enemies that dispel those protective buffs, or steal them outright, erase his shielding and turn his own buffs against him.
Effect resistance and immunity — Both his Attack-down and his provoke can simply miss or be blocked, and enemies running immunity walk through his crowd control entirely, leaving him with only modest damage.
Ultimate downtime and slow tempo — His team-wide provoke and Combat Readiness push only come on his ultimate, so while it is on cooldown a fast enemy can act freely; and his passive only triggers reactively after an ally is already hurt, never preventing the first hit.
