Tips to Play Groot in Marvel Rivals

It is important to remember that Groot’s regular attacks have a limited range when playing individually. This means that dealing chip damage from a distance is not a viable strategy, making positioning crucial in team fights. It is best to stay close enough to attack, but not too close to avoid being overwhelmed.

Additionally, it is crucial to keep in mind that a significant portion of Groot’s abilities rely on dealing damage to multiple targets at once. Therefore, your primary focus should not be on precise aiming, but rather on strategic timing and placement of attacks such as the Spore Bomb.

When choosing Groot, it is important to take into account your team’s overall composition. With the Friendly Shooter team-up ability, bringing Rocket Raccoon onto your team can be a strategic surprise for your opponents and make you a formidable force to be reckoned with.
