Groot
CosmicD tier
Introduction
Groot is a character in Marvel Contest of Champions. Groot's role is Cosmic.
On our Marvel Contest of Champions tier list Groot is D tier, 292nd of the 297 characters ranked, from where 8 current tier lists put Groot.
Is Groot good?
Groot cuts down debuff durations and stacks his own buffs, but Nullify, randomness in his kit, and a long ramp-up time work against him. His Immunity to Bleed means Double Edge costs him nothing, and sticking to Special 3 avoids Recoil damage while its short Bleed hits hard when he's buffed, especially with Deep Wounds behind it.
His base crit rating is low, so Precision goes further on him than on most champions. D tier for a slow-building champion with too many soft spots.
Strengths
- Reduces incoming debuff duration
- Stacks his own buffs
Weaknesses
- Nullify cuts off his buff-based kit
- Randomness makes his output inconsistent
- Long ramp-up time before he gets going

"Yeah, thanks for that — listen, Rocket here.
There’s only four things you gotta know about Groot.
Number one, he’s a walking tree from some far away planet…"
"I am Groot! "
"Sorry, ‘Flora Colossus’, not ‘tree person’.
Geeze. Number two, he’s real kind and passive until you make him mad.
Three, he can only say three words; try and guess which ones?
And four, me and him have been together forever.
You mess with him, and you mess with me, and my really big gun.
