Ultimate Groot Guide! Marvel Rivals | Gameplay, Abilities & Tips!

[@panzerslayer1158]

I fell in love with Groot's gameplay style in the beta, after I understood him, and now I've dumped five hours into Groot alone. I think he is a straight up top three tank in the game with his versatility. I might main him over Venom, might.

[@ItzPixel]

He's better than venom, screw venom haha

[@tellusrs7773]

@@ItzPixel eh i wouldnt say hes strictly better, they serve different roles and venom is more so a secondary tank because he sacrifices protecting his team for some self sustain/disrupting the enemy backline to provide opportunities for the other dps, think of him like a tank/dps brid groot excels at crowd control and also providing circumstances for ur team to push or secure kills, he cant sustain himself aside from some specific mechanics with his walls so he needs healing constantly for sure though id rather go groot if you had to choose one tank between the two, venom solo tank really feels bad

[@MJDModified]

Started to play groot today simply because I main heal and it would be nice to switch off regarding team comp. With that being said, he's highly disruptive and I love how he sections off the team from healing. He's perfect. He's a team tank.

2 Tips for Thornlash: 1. Hold deploy and move your reticle to create two connected walls at once. Makes it harder for enemies to sidestep out of its effective range, or you can deploy your diagonal ramp faster. 2. As a trap, place walls flat above your side of low(5m) doorways and chokes enemies have to feed through. The walls can be very hard to see before going underneath them and will lash downward at enemies.

[@BlobityMcBlob]

Small tip, there is a faint green circle around Groot when making walls, This is how far he can place them.

[@lucassayer9743]

Groot and Moon Knight is easily my favorite combo in this game. Being able to force people closer together with the walls allows your MK to get some crazy bounces off. Not to mention Groot's ult pairing perfectly with every part of MK's kit

[@tailboi23]

You can ult in front of the walls to pull in enemies to get extra damage

[@edwardfiestawarehands]

this. always try to throw a thornlash down before you ult

[@Tar0B0I]

Hold cast to deploy them faster, THEN drop the spore bomb, the burst is insane

[@johnx140]

wow, i didnt know that! ty for the tip

[@Tar0B0I]

@@johnx140 Works with Ulti too, the walls keep hitting along with the DOT from the ult

[@d0m1nO06]

I always set up walls well before, most of the time i make the ironwood wall un-seeable so it doesnt get destroyed, its really good like that on defence as ill get that bonus health and will be healed, will basically be unkillable. Throw in a jeff on your back alongside that and you can survive 2 ults (dependant on what ones)

[@johnx140]

What i like to do is to place thornwalls in the... walls of the map lmao, so that they kinda fusew with the walls, so that if i or my allies hit them the walls can hurt them with the awakened passive, since you can place up to 3 you can maek a jungle-like danger zone thats really fun because enemies are gonna be scared of the walls lmao

Just had a match of domination where I went 32/2/1 did 18k dmg, and prevented 27.5k, groot best hero

[@NinjapowerMS]

@@tylerluttrell2544 Had one where I Prevented almost 70k damage. Broken af

[@Gameideasanyone]

you guys know that having a good game doesn't make a character good right? If I go 35-1 as groot it's not cause groot is good. but because we team diffed them to oblivion. they prob were getting ganked in backline or the enemy dps were eating crayons. Groot and peni have the same weakness.. shoot the tank and they cant play the game proper.

[@tylerluttrell2544]

@ I mean, I’m consistently doing 20k plus in every match of domination, and yes, I understand 1 good game doesn’t make a hero good, but when I’m able to replicate my results, in my opinion, he’s good

[@nirvana9006]

I feel as if you are underestimating sporebomb a bit. Sporebomb can hit targets twice, which means if you throw a sporebomb at someone who is near your walls, they will trigger twice. I often place down a wall behind someone and at the same time I throw a sporebomb, I m1 or press V and the lower health targets usually die instantly. Then not to mention if you hit more than one person with sporebomb near a ironwall, that's just free hits to give you shields.

[@superscope27]

Groot needs a grab.

[@MFoxSP]

thornlash walls only attack from their front and back, not sides

[@desolationangel6173]

The walls need more health. In a defense situation they get destroyed immediately

[@gtrons8712]

I agree on the shorter cool down for the bomb. Even if groot has to complete an objective to shorten the cooldown, like awakening walls. Having a combo with someone like a squirrel girl for a shorter bomb cooldown would be nice.

[@ItzPixel]

yeah you could do things like have his walls spawn little glowing orbs that you pick up to shorten his cooldown or something

[@ExpertAssass1n]

I haven't touched anything Marvel since Endgame but this game is super fun, I'm really enjoying it! Would love a Dr Strange gameplay/tips!

[@ItzPixel]

Glad you're enjoying it! I love playing drstrange I'll definitely be doing a video

[@ExpertAssass1n]

@@ItzPixel ayy! 💪

[@garrysanderson5793]

Good tips, I ignored all of these and played Groot like it's fortnite, singling out enemies in 1v1/1v2 boxfights. No more backline threats and certain points are just auto-win this way with a half decent healer

[@mak3x7]

Actually you can place the walls on any surface, theoretically you can put a wall as a platform like a shelf and kill enemies below it

[@HuntMeDown237]

As a league of legends player, Groot HEAVILY reminds me of Zyra, but better. His walls can either deal damage to nearby foes, or grant him bonus health (Zyra 's plants do damage or slow depending on the ability used). He has the potential to be one of the best tanks in the game, seeing as he can make his own cover for his team, and even potentially block off an entrance to a good push from the enemy team. Groot is going to be a HUGE threat soon.

[@zun-viik]

3:00 best place for a wall is between you and the guy tryna shot ya Second best is in front of the guy tryna run away

[@tylregor5481]

Yesterday i started to use him and i never felt this good with a tank in any hero shooter game... Maybe i am Groot

[@edwardfiestawarehands]

spore bomb should NOT be on a shorter cooldown, it's already stupid good. if you thornlash behind a 250, bomb in the right spot and primary fire, they are dead. simple as. I rarely ever use it as a long range poke because it's just so damn good with the walls.

[@tylregor5481]

It's even very useful to end a close fight or to end a low hp enemy trying to escape

[@P-ath]

I thought the punisher was immune to cc in his ult? Im pretty sure he just walked in to ur ult and nothing happened to him. Good guide. A situational combo I like to do when someone is in front of my thorn walls is to vine strike> bomb>vine strike it can pretty much kill anyone 250 hp characters if they get no heals.

[@ItzPixel]

I believe it was because he was already doing his ult, I think it's different compared to a drstrange ult for example Also thanks for the added tip! :)

[@P-ath]

@ItzPixel unfortunately groot doesn't have much tech he's pretty simple. I feel if they let u rotate the thorn walls, he would have so much tech.

Why don't you talk more about the melee Groot has, it's much stronger than people realise

[@ItzPixel]

I did talk about it?

[@BigJambu]

I find it a bit confusing/unintuitive that the green wall deals damage and the brown wall heals you

[@Gameideasanyone]

It's not confusing you're just conditioned to think a certain way by the other experiences you've had in your life. In my life, green was not always the good guy color so to me its just a wall. What color it is doesn't matter.

[@comeandsee-777]

groots primary attack should be infinite having to reload it is stupid imo

Tbh I've always said the same thing since the beta, doesn't make sense why he needs to reload haha
