Valir

Valir is a big problem for most tanks, including Khufra. He also has multiple control spells, and a built-in Purify with his Vengeance Flame ultimate.

If he tries to jump at you with Tyrant’s Revenge, use Vengeance Flame and push him back with Searing Torrent. Hit him with Burst Fireball repeatedly to activate the stun from Ashing. You can also use Burst Fireball to detect him in nearby bushes, preventing any initiation attempt.
