How do you use KG???

I just pulled a 4* KG (not going to rank him up b/c I’m working on Medusa r5 currently) and he seems kinda sucky. His damage is half of my 4* r1 lvl 1 Magneto. I don’t see much use for him, but I’ve heard of people getting excited for him. Why is that? Does he gain a lot from his sig? Can somebody break him down for me?

    He's much better as a defender IMO, if your defense is lacking you should consider ranking him up just for that.

    Hes actually really good when duped. has very strong regen. and he gains alot of fury if you play him right. he wont be any massive damager but his regen is great

    The dupe is a must as it gives him regen after his fury buffs expire. Higher the sig level the higher the regen is. He can be a solid defender in lower to mid tiers.

    Ok thanks for the info so far but can y’all break it down a little more in detail? Also, when do you use each special? I haven’t really read his abilities much...🤷🏻‍♂️

    Oh yeah my BHR is around 220k, so I’m out of the low to mid tier AW

    Get fury to do more damage and regenerate health if you need to

    Also the permanent armor breaks can stack pretty high. I just use sp1's to manage power and apply breaks, then throw in an L2 with double poison (from fury buffs). Helped a lot in 5.4

    King Groot has the best sustainability in the game when he's awakened. Unawakened, you can still utilize some of his regen with his SP3. He's not a heavy hitter, even with the max number of armor breaks he can obtain he's not doing significant damage by any means.

    If you pull him early, he's god tier and will get you through all of Act 4. after act 4 his value drastically diminishes.

    King Groot is good, but using a 4* version will make a long fight taking forever.
    However, 5* and 6* King Groot are worth the upgrade, they are the more powerful version and the fight will not last forever.
