Grom is an Epic Brawler who could be unlocked early for a limited time by winning the Grom Challenge or can be obtained from the Starr Road. He has low health and a high damage potential. He attacks by throwing his walkie-talkie over obstacles that explodes in a cross pattern upon contact. His Super is a larger bomb that explodes into four larger projectiles in a cross pattern that can destroy obstacles and knock enemies back. His first Gadget, Watchtower, deploys a watchtower that allows Grom and allies to see inside of bushes within its radius. His second Gadget, Radio Check, makes Grom's next attack throw 3 walkie-talkies. Grom's first Star Power, Foot Patrol, boosts Grom's movement speed when his Super is charged. Grom's second Star Power, X-Factor, increases his attack damage the farther they split.
Attack: Bud Go Boom!
Grom throws his walkie-talkie over obstacles that explodes into four piercing projectiles in a cross pattern. An enemy can only be damaged by one of the projectiles. Similarly to Spike's attack, Grom's walkie-talkie always splits perpendicularly to the map borders; the cross pattern doesn't change regardless of the angle Grom is facing.
Super: Grom Bomb
Grom throws the bomb on his back over obstacles that explodes into four piercing projectiles in a cross pattern, similarly to his main attack. The projectiles can also destroy obstacles and knock enemies back, but the projectiles can't pierce through walls after destroying them, similarly to a bullet from Colt's Super, and enemies can only be damaged by one of the projectiles.
Gadgets
Watchtower
Upon activation, Grom drops a turret that allows him and allies to see enemies inside bushes in its 10-tile radius. The turret has 1500 health, will be destroyed if Grom deploys another turret, and decays by 75 health per second until it's destroyed, lasting for up to 20 seconds if it doesn't take any damage. Any invisible enemies like Leon or Sandy inside the turret's radius will not be revealed.
Radio Check
Activating this Gadget allows Grom's next attack to fire three walkie-talkies in quick succession. A Gadget symbol will glow above Grom's head signaling this Gadget's usage, as well as a glowing attack joystick. This Gadget's cooldown starts after this attack is shot.
Star Powers
Foot Patrol
When Grom's Super is fully charged, his movement speed is boosted by 15%, increasing his movement speed from 720 points to 830 points and allowing Grom to move faster than most other Brawlers. The effect is lost if Grom uses his Super.
X-Factor
The projectiles shot from Grom's attack do up to 30% increased damage, depending on their distance from the initial impact area.
Tips
- Be careful not to destroy walls near your spawn when using Grom's Super because these walls allow Grom to pressure the enemy team while being protected from them.
- Grom's Watchtower Gadget is very useful in maps with large bushes clusters such as Cavern Churn or Snake Prairie because it allows Grom and allies to see into bushes, allowing them to scout enemies easily. You must be aware of its placement since it can be easily destroyed along with the fact that it already loses health over time, so make sure to place it out of reach from most enemies.
- The best way to use Grom's Foot Patrol Star Power is to chase enemies since his Super can be devastating. You can bring an enemy to low health with his attacks while charging his Super in the process, chase them, and throw his Super at the right time.
- Enemies will likely walk diagonally in an attempt to dodge Grom's attack. Try to force enemies towards wall clusters where they are restricted and burst them down.
- Remember that enemies will move in an attempt to dodge Grom's attacks. With Grom's X-Factor Star Power, keep this in mind, as if they move and fail to dodge the attack, they take extra damage.
- With Grom's Radio Check Gadget, it's best to use it on targets that aren't moving, like the Heist safe. It can also be used for map control as enemies would naturally be wary of getting in your range. This can cause devastating damage and high value as it effectively fires three attacks for the cost of one ammo.
- Try and learn how the knockback works on Grom's super: once this is learnt, you can use it as a combo with his Radio Check Gadget. Aim the Gadget at where the enemies will be knocked back to. This is very effective as enemies will be unable to dodge the Gadget as they are being knocked back by the Super. If done correctly, it can deal over 5000 damage.
