Overview
Grock is a Tank/Fighter hero with incredible early-game strength thanks to his passive skill, which grants movement speed and physical defense when near walls or turrets. He possesses powerful crowd control abilities, thanks to his skill 2 (creating a barrier) and skill 1 (knock-up when fully charged). Grock's ultimate can knock back enemies, deal massive damage, and open up space for the team.
Strengths
High durability near walls thanks to her passive, which grants Physical and Magical Defense plus Movement Speed. Very strong early game, capable of zoning and killing weak heroes from levels 1-2. Excellent CC and zoning with skill 2, which can cut off enemy escape routes or confine them. High damage for tanks in the early-mid game, especially with a burst build. Can multi-role: pure tank or semi-damage. Fast rotation thanks to her passive and skill 1 dash.
Weaknesses
Weak in the late game with a full damage build because the enemy will have sufficient defense. Skill 1 and Ultimate are easily avoided if the timing isn't right. Rely on walls to maximize the passive. Less effective against heroes with frequent blinks/teleports (e.g., Fanny, Lancelot, Harith). Requires a team with quick follow-up, as Grock's CC tends to trigger wars early.
Build
1. Warrior Boots / Tough Boots - Adjust to your opponent (Warrior for physical, Tough for magic). 2. Antique Cuirass - Reduces the opponent's burst damage. 3. Blade of the Heptaseas - Increases the burst damage of Skill 1 in the early-mid game. 4. Guardian Helmet - Increased HP regeneration when exiting the war. 5. Dominance Ice - Counters enemy lifesteal and attack speed. 6. Immortality - Life insurance in the late game. (For more damage: Switch to Guardian Helmet ~ Malefic Roar for penetration.)

Tips gameplay
Early Game: Use your passive to bully enemies near turrets or walls. Mid Game: Rotate quickly to help your team, don't just stay in the lane. Late Game: Focus on initiating and protecting your core, don't stray too far from your team. Use Flicker + Ultimate for a surprise initiation (Flicker Ultimate Surprise).
Best With Angela
Ange's ultimate allows her to attach to Grock, providing him with additional shields, healing, and crowd control while he dives into the enemy team. This combo turns Grock into an unstoppable frontline with massive sustain and damage potential.
Watch Out For Esmeralda
Can absorb his shields, reducing his durability significantly.
