Overview
ᕗ The recent revamp for Grock in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has significantly altered his playstyle, making him a more versatile and oppressive tank, especially against physical damage heroes.This revamp has made Grock a far more versatile and threatening hero, capable of excelling in both roam and EXP lane roles due to his increased damage and crowd control. Here's a breakdown of the key changes
Strengths
ᕗOverall Details about him😊: No longer reliant on walls for passive buffs: Previously, Grock heavily depended on being near walls for his passive to grant CC immunity, movement speed, and defenses. This has been changed to be tied to his skill usage. Increased CC Immunity: Grock now gains CC immunity whenever he casts any of his skills, making him much more difficult to shut down during his engagements. Enhanced battlefield control: His unique stone walls remain a core part of his kit, but his ultimate now has a more potent area control effect when interacting with them or other obstacles. New Damage Scaling: A significant change is that his damage now scales with his Physical Defense and the enemy's Max HP, turning him into a threat even for tanky heroes, unlike before where he mainly relied on Physical Attack for damage. Detailed Skill Changes: Passive: Bastion of Stone (Revamped) New Effect: Periodically grants Grock a shield based on a percentage of his Max HP. While this shield is active, Grock gains a significant Physical Defense bonus (scaling with his level). Enhanced Basic Attack: His next Basic Attack after gaining the shield deals bonus Physical Damage that scales with his Physical Defense and the target's Max HP. This is a crucial change that allows Grock to deal considerable damage while building tanky. CC Immunity during skill cast: As mentioned, he now gains CC immunity whenever he casts any skill. Skill 1: Mighty Swing (Revamped) New Effect: Grock slams forward, dealing significant Physical Damage based on his Extra Physical Attack. This slam can knock enemies back. Terrain Interaction: If enemies hit a terrain (including Grock's own summoned walls), they are knocked airborne and take bonus Physical Damage based on their
Weaknesses
ᕗHeroes that Counter Grock Based on Grock's weaknesses, the following heroes are often effective counters: Karrie: As a marksman, Karrie's true damage can bypass Grock's high physical defense. Her mobility allows her to kite him, and she can melt him quickly in team fights. Lylia: A mage with high magical burst damage. She can easily poke Grock down with her abilities and her ultimate provides her with a second chance if Grock manages to get on top of her. Valir: Valir's abilities have a knockback and slow, which can keep Grock at a distance and prevent him from using his powerful close-range skills. He can also interrupt Grock's ultimate with his crowd control. Esmeralda: Esmeralda can absorb and convert Grock's shields into her own HP, turning his defensive advantage against him. Franco: Franco's ultimate can suppress Grock, stopping him from using any of his skills and making him vulnerable to the rest of your team's damage. Natalia: Natalia can silence Grock, preventing him from using his skills and rendering him a lot less effective. Her high burst damage can also take him down quickly.
Defense Item
ᕗ Build: The new Grock's damage scales with his physical defense. This means you should build tank items that provide physical defense, such as Antique Cuirass, Dominance Ice, or Blade Armor. Items with both physical defense and damage, like Thunder Belt and Oracle, are also great choices. You can also opt for a more aggressive, damage-focused build with items like Blade of the Heptaseas, which works well in the EXP lane
Burst Damage
ᕗyou can use this build for heroes with low hp , those heroes who dies on one combo is on your enemy then buy this build use flicker and one shot them ... High Burst Damage: A damage build allows Grock to capitalize on his airborne combos (using his ultimate or S1 into a wall) to potentially one-shot squishy enemy heroes. Lane Dominance: As an EXP laner, a damage build helps him win duels, clear waves faster, and put immense pressure on his opponent.ᕙ
Tank Emblem
ᕗ Tank Emblem: This is the most reliable option for Grock, as it enhances his survivability and allows him to take on a more traditional tank role.
Fighter Emblem
the Fighter Emblem transforms Grock from a purely defensive tank into a disruptive bruiser who can dish out damage while staying incredibly durable.The Fighter Emblem's core talent, Festival of Blood, grants him Spell Vamp, which provides massive healing from his skills. This is crucial for his survivability in extended fights.
Battle Spell
ᕗ The "Wild Charge" (Ultimate) Combo This is Grock's most common and devastating Flicker combo. The goal is to use Flicker to surprise the enemy and land a powerful ultimate. Start your ultimate (Wild Charge): Activate Grock's ultimate, which makes him charge forward. Flicker: Just before he fully charges, use Flicker to instantly teleport into a group of enemies or to a specific target. This can be used to reposition and slam into a wall or turret, maximizing the damage and stunning effect. Release the Ultimate: The ultimate will then hit the new location, catching enemies off guard. This combo is great for: Surprise Engagements: Catching enemies who think they are safe behind a turret or deep in the backline. Targeting Key Heroes: Focusing on squishy heroes like marksmen or mages who are out of position. Securing Kills: Chasing down a low-HP enemy who is trying to escape.
You Can Engage Anytime You Want
Weaknesses: Grock is still susceptible to magic damage. Mages with high burst and mobility can easily kite him and deal significant damage. Strengths: He is a great counter to physical damage heroes, especially assassins and fighters that rely on getting close. His CC immunity makes him a nightmare for heroes with single-target CC. Synergies: Grock pairs well with heroes who can follow up on his massive AoE CC, such as mages like Odette or Yve, or marksmen with strong AoE damage like Irithel. Combo : use 2nd skill to stop enemy, then use ultimate then 1st skill = 2nd +Ulti +1st
Best With Kadita
Reliable CC: Grock's Guardian's Barrier is a guaranteed way to block enemy movement and set them up for a follow-up. When combined with his ultimate, he provides a long-lasting CC that gives Kadita a perfect window to act. High Burst Damage: Kadita's ultimate is one of the most powerful burst damage skills in the game, especially in the late game. When she hits multiple enemies with it, it can turn the tide of a team fight instantly.
Watch Out For Johnson
Grock 2nd skill can easily stop Johnson's Ultimate
