Last Rider Krau is a Light Knight built around his max Health, doubling as a sturdy frontliner and a heavy damage threat. His basic attack is a single-target swordstorm that scales off his max Health and speeds him up for a turn, while his passive shrinks his own and allies' skill cooldowns whenever he is hit and, after an attack that strikes the whole team, grants every ally a Health-based barrier for two turns. His ultimate summons Ziegfried to hit all enemies, ignoring their Defense and reducing every ally's cooldowns; this nuke scales on his Health and Speed, cannot critically hit, and grows stronger each time it is used, stacking up to three times.

Counters

  • Heavy-armor and high-Defense walls — His ultimate ignores enemy Defense outright, so beefy frontline tanks that normally absorb hits take his full Health-scaled blow regardless of how much armor they stack.
  • Burst teams that target the whole party — His passive turns enemy area attacks against them: being hit by an all-ally strike rewinds his cooldowns an extra turn and wraps the team in a Health-based barrier, so wide cleave openers feed his recovery instead of breaking him.
  • Squishy backlines and grouped formations — Ziegfried hits all enemies at once and his damage climbs each cast up to three stacks, so fragile carries hiding behind a frontline still eat scaling Health-and-Speed-based area damage.
  • Slow, drawn-out compositions — Cooldown reduction on himself and the whole team, plus the self speed-up on his basic, lets him cycle his big hits and keep allies' key skills available faster than grindy enemy teams can answer.

Countered by

  • Buff stealers and buff thieves — His value leans on the speed-up he gives himself and the team-wide barrier; an enemy that steals those buffs strips his tempo and removes the shield he relies on to protect the party.
  • Dispellers and buff-strip — Cleansing the barrier off his allies and removing his speed buff erases his defensive contribution and slows his turn cycle.
  • Buff-duration shorteners — Cutting the length of his barrier and speed buff blunts both his protection and the tempo edge he leans on, since those effects are central to his kit.
  • Single-target focus fire — His ultimate sits on a long cooldown and his basic only hits one enemy, so a foe that ignores the team-wide trigger and burns him down directly never sets off his passive, which only rewards being attacked rather than preventing his death.
