Best counters to Khawazu
- Cleansers — His pressure runs on Unhealable and Defense down; an ally who cleanses the targeted enemy wipes the Unhealable lock and lets healing come back online.
- Buff strip and buff steal — His only meaningful offense buffs are the self Attack boost from Composure; dispelling or stealing it, or shortening its duration, removes the payoff of his passive and leaves him a plain single-target attacker.
- Immunity — An enemy under Immunity simply refuses his Defense break and Unhealable, so he cannot set up the recovery denial or armor shred his kit depends on.
- Cooldown and single-target limits — Emberstorm, the source of Unhealable, sits on a four-turn cooldown and only hits one enemy, and Composure can fire only every three turns, so a wide team or burst that ignores his single locked target leaves the rest of the enemy line untouched.

- Defensive, high-Defense single targets — Both his main attack and Emberstorm carry Decrease Defense, stacking a defensive shred onto one enemy so he and his team hit that target far harder.
- Control and debuff-stacking teams — His Composure passive strips all of his own debuffs the moment he is hit while afflicted, so stuns, silences, weaker crowd control, and damage-over-time stacks meant to neutralize him instead trigger a self-cleanse and an Attack buff.
- Slow setups he can race — His main attack has a 35% chance to give himself a Combat Readiness boost, letting him cycle back to apply Defense breaks and the Unhealable lock ahead of a slower opponent's turn.
