Overview
Hero Background Before Revamp: Grock was once a roaming tank known for his: -Legendary passive: He gained bonus movement speed, physical defense, and HP regen near walls. -Terrifying early damage: His skill 1 - Power of Nature could one shot squishies enemies if build full damage. -Map Control - He could wall off enemy escapes with Guardian's Barrier and Engage dive with his Wild Charge ultimate. However Grock's heavy wall-dependence made him inconsistent in the META. Thus ******* revamped him in August 2025. Here are some early farming routes. 1st wave: Clear wave with his skill 1 + shielded basic attack. Zone the enemy with skill 2 if they get close. 2nd wave: If ahead cut the next wave behind the enemy tower but remember to watch out for potential ganks and always look at the mini map. Prepare for the crab or rotate at the mid lane to put pressure or invade the enemy jungle. 3rd wave: Unlock Ultimate. Use the 1st and 2nd Skill to Pressure Mid or Roam. 4th wave: If winning invade the enemy jungle or fast clear your lane and response to a near clash. If behind stay safe and prepare for the next rotation.

Weaknesses
1. Skill reliant falls off if behind. 2.Need walls for Max CC Value. 3. Weak against ranged poked heroes.
Grock Burst by WMS
if you want a full burst item for grock i'm recommending this one because of revamped grock it has more damage now you can maximize him by using this item set. Blade of heptaseas to maxed out the damage from his enhanced basic attack with his passive, and the two core items is hunter strike and malefic roar to easily burst the enemies.
Grock EXP DMG Sustain by WMS
If you want a damage but sustain Grock i will recommend this one. War Axe as the first core item because it has spell vamp and additional damage + cooldown reduction and then Hunter Strike for extra cooldown and dmg pen it helps Grock to have more damage and sustain the early game.
Grock Burst by WMS
Assasin Emblem it has Adaptive Penetration + Adaptive Attack and the Bonus movement speed because Grock needs extra movement speed. In the hero talent you can choose Agility for Extra Movement Speed + Master Assasin for added burst potention in a 1v1 fighth + Lethal Ignition it helps you to add more damage and if the enemy escapes it can burn them and still take them down.
Battle Spell
Choose Flicker because it lets Grock reposition quickly for better ultimate setups, surprise engages, or safe escapes perfect for landing his wall based combos and maximimizing crowd control.
1st Wave of Minions
Clear wave with Skill 1 + shielded basic attack. Zone enemy with Skill 2 if they get close.
2nd Wave of Minions
If ahead, cut the next wave behind enemy tower. Prepare to rotate for Crab or mid lane assist.
3rd Wave of Minions
Unlock Ultimate. Use full combo (2 + 1 + Ult) to pressure or roam mid.
4th Wave of Minions
If winning, invade jungle or dive. If behind, stay safe and reset for next rotation.
Best With Pharsa
because of sustainability and dmg of grock Pharsa can freely use his Feathered Airstrike (Ultimate) to clean up the enemies.
Watch Out For Cici
Cici may be one of his counter as you all know Cici has a passive when the enemy hero has a high HP he can deal more damage and Cici has movement speed so she can kite grock and the 2nd skill she can jump in or out depends on the situation.
