Crozet, a reactive barrier tank, is a 4★ Ice Knight in Epic Seven. Crozet's biggest weakness: 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. Below are the heroes and team archetypes that counter Crozet in RTA, the matchups where Crozet struggles most, and how to draft against Crozet.
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.

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.
