King Groot
CosmicB tier
Introduction
King Groot is a character in Marvel Contest of Champions. King Groot's role is Cosmic.
On our Marvel Contest of Champions tier list King Groot is B tier, 157th of the 297 characters ranked, from where 7 current tier lists put King Groot.
Is King Groot good?
King Groot's Malice ramps up the longer a fight runs, so he favors long battles over short ones, and his Special 1 Armor Breaks tear through Armor Up reliant opponents while Special 2 triples damage against Robots. Extended and Enhanced Fury both boost his offense further since he leans so heavily on Fury buffs.
Mystic champions can Nullify those Fury buffs away, which stacks badly on top of the Class disadvantage he already has against them. B tier for a slow-building Cosmic with obvious Mystic trouble.
Strengths
- Malice ramps up the longer a fight runs
- Special 1 tears through Armor Up reliance, Special 2 triples damage vs Robots
Weaknesses
- Mystic champions Nullify his Fury-reliant kit on top of Class disadvantage
