Stats Based on a 5/65 5 Star


The Gentle Giant of the Guardians of the Galaxy has been for a long time been an angry stick that provides no real benefit to have. The proposed buff melds components from King Groot's kit into a formidable standalone champ that can also provide support to his team in a pinch. Bombard opponents with his wooden arsenal and truly embody the words "I AM GROOT!".

Arborous Body – Passive:

-> Being a Flori colossus, Groot’s wooden body provides immunity to Bleed, Shock, Power Drain and Power Burn.
-> +668.01 Physical Resistance.
-> Incoming Debuffs suffer 70% reduced duration.

Groot Spores – Passive – Max 10 Stacks:

->Whenever idling for 1 second or blocking a hit, Groot releases a Spore.
->Each Spore reduces the potency of the Opponent’s Armor effects by 10%.
->A Spore is lost anytime a buff is nullified or Groot is struck.

Heavy Attacks:

->Groot converts half of the Spores on himself into a Recovery Passive, increasing Regeneration Rate by 15% for 10 seconds.

Special Attacks – I AM GROOT!:

->Launching a Special Attack sends Groot into a rage, granting Groot a Fury buff increasing Attack by 201.06 per each Spore on Groot.
->While I AM GROOT! is active, a Spore is consumed every 1.5 seconds and he cannot gain nor lose Spores.

Special Attack 1 – Thorny Branch:

->This attack deals True Damage and removes all Armor effects from the opponent.
->Generate a Thorns Buffs for 10 seconds, inflicting 335.1 Physical damage back anytime Groot is struck by Physical Contact.

Special Attack 2 – Regrowth :

->This attack is Unblockable and regains 3536.1 Health over 10 seconds.
->This attack deals a burst of 670.2 Physical Damage per each Spore used in the fight, up to a maximum of 13404 Physical Damage.

Special Attack 3 – I AM GROOT!:

->If used to activate I AM GROOT!, expend a Spore every 2.7 seconds instead.
->Inflict a Bleed Debuff for each Spore used in the fight, dealing 893.6 Direct Damage over 16 seconds, Max Stacks: 20.

Signature Ability – WE ARE GROOT!

->Groot carries 10 to 60% of his Spores between fights and can use them to provide benefits to his teammates.
->Expend 2 Spores to activate a WE ARE GROOT! Pre-fight, granting the below bonuses to any Champion but himself:
->+20% Physical Resistance.
->Regain 2 to 6% of missing Health whenever activating a Special Attack.
->Once per fight, instead of being Knocked Out, recover 5% of Max Health and gain a Protection buff reducing all Incoming Damage by 50 to 99% until your next successful hit.

Synergy Additions:

The Guardians of the Galaxy with Rocket Racoon, Star-Lord, Drax and Gamora (solo):
->WE ARE GROOT! Grants a Recovery Passive, increasing Regeneration Rate by 20%.

Oh Yeah! with Rocket Racoon:
->Groot: Each personal Fury buff on Groot also increases Critical Damage Rating by 150.
->Rocket Racoon: Critical Hits deal an additional 30% of the damage dealt as Physical Damage.

    Wow, this is an absolutely amazing overhaul, nothing looks too OP but the rotation seems smooth! Lots of utility and the possibility of decent damage.
    One thing I really wish that Kabam added was when you created a team of Guardians of the galaxy, they made each other even more amazing like the fantastic four. I like your hint at that with the first synergy mentioned.
