Overview
Grock is a durable tank and fighter who excels at controlling the battlefield with powerful crowd control and wall-based abilities. His key abilities include creating a path-blocking wall, knocking enemies airborne with his hammer, and charging into terrain with his ultimate to stun opponents. Post-revamp, he gains control immunity when using any skill and can generate a shield that enhances his next basic attack to deal physical damage based on the target's maximum HP.
Strengths
Grock's strengths include significant crowd control with his ultimate (Tectonic Charge) and terrain-based knockups from Mighty Swing, a revamped immunity to control during skill casts, and increased durability and movement speed when near walls. He also provides early-game physical damage, can block enemy paths with his Guardian's Barrier, and gains a shield with extra physical defense, making him a strong disruptive tank.
Weaknesses
Grock's main weaknesses are his lack of mobility in open areas and susceptibility to nimble magic-damage heroes, especially those who can bypass his walls like Novaria and Valentina. Heroes with high burst magic damage are particularly effective counters, while those who can consistently kite him or disrupt his wall formation also pose a threat.
Sustain
The best items for a roaming Grock provide defense, utility, and sustainability needed to dominate team fights and control the battlefield
Z
Agility, Tenacity, and Concussive Blast are the best talents for a roam Grock due to their synergy with his tanky, frontline playstyle. Agility enhances your Movement Speed, allowing you to rotate quickly between lanes and engage or disengage from fights efficiently. Tenacity increases your Physical and Magic Defense when your HP drops below a threshold, enhancing your survivability during intense team fights. Finally, Concussive Blast adds extra area-of-effect damage to your Basic Attacks. This gives you an edge in skirmishes by dealing consistent damage and making you a bigger threat in team battles.
Battle Spell
The most recommended battle spell for Grock is Flicker, which enhances his surprise potential by allowing him to adjust the angle of his first skill (Power of Destruction) or his ultimate (Grumble and Roar) to catch enemies off guard.
Poke
A "dominant phase" for the character Grock in Mobile Legends refers to a period where his unique abilities, particularly the terrain-dependent nature of his skills, are maximized for crowd control and damage. This can be achieved by leveraging his abilities to trap and knock up enemies with his second and ultimate skills, and using his first skill for burst damage and crowd control immunity near walls and turrets.
Best With Badang
Badang can also exploit poorly placed walls by using his own abilities to trap enemies in conjunction with Grock's wall.
Watch Out For Franco
Franco can use his ultimate to suppress Grock, bypassing his CC immunity from walls. Minsitthar's ultimate can also disable Grock's ultimate, significantly reducing his effectiveness.
