Marvel Rivals is gearing up for its second wave of early access in its Closed Beta, giving players another taste of what to expect from the hero shooter. While it\u2019s early days yet, with plenty more characters set to join the roster, some early frontrunners are already emerging as fan favorites in the new hero shooter. One such iconic character is none other than Groot. While a hero of few words, there\u2019s no mistaking Groot\u2019s presence on the battlefield thanks to an AoE-focused kit that only gets better the more you synergize with your allies. So, if you\u2019re jumping into Marvel Rivals and looking to climb the ranks as Groot, we\u2019ve got you covered with all there is to know. Groot\u2019s weapon in Marvel Rivals While Groot doesn\u2019t carry a physical weapon into battle per se, the hero still deals plenty of damage through his natural attacks. First comes the Vine Strike, an ordinary attack great for mid-range chip damage, then the Spore Bomb secondary fire, an explosive projectile that deals damage in a wider radius. Be sure to mix both of these together to punish enemies clumped together. Primary: Vine Strike Launch vines to attack enemies. – Secondary: Spore Bomb Throw an explosive Spore Bomb that splits into multiple small explosive spores. – Groot\u2019s abilities in Marvel Rivals As a Vanguard in Marvel Rivals \u2013 effectively a Tank with lots of health and plenty of ways to sustain throughout a fight \u2013 Groot is a hero your team should be playing around. As a number of abilities focus on changing the map, grouping enemies together, and dealing damage in concentrated areas, the more you\u2019re able to communicate with your squad and capitalize on key moments, the better your odds of success. Abilities Flora Colossus (Passive) Wooden walls near Groot will Awaken, activating an extra effect. – Ironwood Wall Target a location and grow an Ironwood Wall. When Awakened, it grants Bonus Health to Groot when nearby enemies take damage. – Thornlash Wall Target a location and grow a Thornlass Wall. When Awakened, it strikes nearby enemies attacked by Groot and his allies. – Ultimate Strangling Prison Fire a massive vine cluster that pulls nearby enemies to its center and imprisons them. – Tips to play Groot in Marvel Rivals When it comes to individual play as Groot, it\u2019s worth bearing in mind his regular attacks are quite limited in range. You\u2019re not going to be dealing chip damage from too far away, so your positioning in any given team fight is crucial. Try to get in close enough to attack while not getting yourself too far in as to be swarmed. Next, it\u2019s also vital to remember that much of Groot\u2019s kit revolves around AoE damage. Thus, your aim isn\u2019t necessarily the most important thing, but rather when and where you\u2019re choosing to launch attacks like your Spore Bomb, for instance. It\u2019s well worth considering your overall team composition when picking Groot as well. Given the Friendly Shooter team-up ability, having Rocket Raccoon on your squad can catch your enemies by surprise and make you a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
