What is the best way to kill him as a Guard player?
Drown him in plasma? Or is there any better way?

Thank you

if you're referring to the lone model, massed plasma is always a good option. Vendettas if you can field them are even better.

Failing that, if he's in a mob, a good Wyvern battery-ing could make a difference - 80 saves with barrage is going to hurt one way or the other.

Depends on how Gazzy is fielded. If he's by himself, or in a regular mob, then just lay on the wounds with FRFSRF and watch his 2+ save crumble with weight of dice. He has the ability to make his 2+ an invulnerable when he waaaghs, so drowning in plasma may not be the best option if your opponent has good timing (Or if he's running an army long enough to do an ork-curion).

I guess the question is, what kind of formation/army is do you see him run in?

If he does get into CC, the classic Priest and axes on sergeants can wear him down; depending a lot on how much of his retinue get live long enough to get there too.

Ghaz sucks in every way unless he is in the Orkurion formation, if he is in that formation JUST IGNORE HIM! because that idiot just spent over 1k points just to give Ghaz a 2++ and army wide Fearless. Just kill all his other over priced units that can't take any good equipment because your opponent put all his eggs into that useless deathstar.

It's a bit more than 2++ and a bit less then 1000pts.
A kitted out ghaz council with 2 mega armour warbosses and 1 with Lukky stikk is only 719 pts. That's 4-5 pks at 4-5 atks each all at ws8-9 and fnp5+ And rampage. Ghaz usually rerolls to hit and wounds as well. There are 12 models you can put them in a trukk for cheap or do like my list and put them in a battlewagon with Killkannon for 140pts
Then you have the waaagh band mine costs 690 pts
With 6 squads of boyz on foot tarpitting up the board with bodies bubble wrapping vehicles and providing cover and all fearless (I usually have 3 squads of shootas)
Then you have a warboss with pk and 3 nobs on bikes for a small bike star
Then you have gretchin camping your home objective
And a Mek with rokkit with one of my two units of tank bustas in trukks for 203pts
Then I have a squad of 7x lootas in ruins for 98pts
Everything is fearless so I don't waste points on nobs or boss poles.
Everything can move run and charge each turn except the Gretchin and all for 1850.

So yea you can ignore ghaz unit and let it roll over whatever it charges, but you are still dealing with 60 fearless ork boy tarpit clogging up the board, a Pk warboss and 3 nobs on bikes, 2 units of tank bustas in trukks, a unit of lootas and a killkannon battlewagon.

To answer the the op question with a ghaz star the only way to kill ghaz is ap2 spam to kill all his support or strD/stomp him to death. However a ghaz star will eat through almost any superheavy. A full squad of Wulfen or 2 can seriously mess up a ghaz star depending on thier buffs but my money is still on ghaz surviving. He just has a ridiculous amount of str10 ap2 atks. He needs to challenge however almost no one can go toe to toe with him buffed. 2++ with 5+ fnp and eternal warrior and 4wds at toughness 6 and ld9 fearless. He's a pain to kill. And puts out a ton of hurt with 6-7 (on charge) str10 ap2 atks with reroll to hit and wound and rampage for a few more atks if he is outnumbered.
