Boss Arunka45%- 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.

What Last Rider Krau 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.
