Tywin is an Ice Knight whose damage scales off his own max Health, letting him double as a bulky frontline bruiser. His basic attack hits one enemy and can lower its Defense for 2 turns, while his cooldown skill strikes the whole enemy team for another Defense break and simultaneously raises every ally's Defense for 2 turns. His passive makes him immune to movement-locking debuffs, and when a back-row ally is hit with such a debuff he dispels all of that ally's debuffs and grants them immunity for 2 turns.

Counters

Teams that lean on freeze, stun, sleep, or other lock-down to control your line — He is personally immune to debuffs that prevent movement, and his passive reaches into the back row to strip a movement-locked ally clean and shield them with immunity, blunting hard crowd control aimed at your carry.
Stall and debuff-stacking comps that try to bury your team in negative effects — His passive cleanse wipes every debuff off a back-row ally that gets locked down, undoing layered ailments like damage-over-time and other stacked debuffs in one stroke.
High-defense bruisers and tanks — Both his single-target attack and his full-team strike can lower enemy Defense for 2 turns, and his damage grows with his own max Health, so he chews through bulky targets that ignore pure attack-based hitters.
Burst comps trying to blow up your whole team at once — His team-wide skill grants increased Defense to all allies for 2 turns while it lands, softening incoming damage right when an enemy goes for a kill.

Countered by

Enemies that dispel or steal buffs — His value rests on the Defense up he hands the team and the immunity from his passive; stripping or stealing those buffs removes the protection before it can matter.
Cleanse and buff-duration cutters — The Defense down he applies and the immunity he grants are short, 2-turn effects, so an enemy cleanse or a shortener removes his Defense break and ends his immunity early, neutralizing his control.
Foes carrying their own immunity — His main pressure is the Defense down on his attacks; an enemy already under immunity simply refuses it, leaving only his raw HP-scaling hit.
Long cooldowns leave gaps — His team-wide Defense break, ally Defense buff, and the dispel/immunity escort all sit behind 5- and 3-turn cooldowns, so between casts he is just a single-target attacker that can be raced or out-pressured.
