What Khufra is bad at
- Nearly all his impact is tied to landing crowd control — a whiffed Tyrant's Revenge or a wasted ultimate leaves him with little threat
- Bouncing Ball's defense buff and anti-blink window only last a few seconds, so a poorly timed cast wastes his best defensive tool
- Tyrant's Rage needs enemies grouped near him to be worth much — scattered targets barely feel the pull
- Very low personal damage output, so he depends entirely on teammates to punish whoever he catches

KajaSupport · FighterHardKaja's ultimate suppresses and drags a single target to him regardless of positioning, and a suppressed Khufra can't cast Bouncing Ball or Tyrant's Rage to save himself or his team.
