Abilities
Star Power
Foot Patrol
While his Super is fully charged he moves faster, so holding the bomb is itself a positional advantage.
Star Power
X-Factor
The four projectiles his attack splits into deal more damage the further they travel from the impact point.

A range is the trophy count Grom was actually on when each match was played, so switching it changes which matches are counted — never how strong the evidence has to be.
Playing Grom
reviewed 19 Jul 2026An artillery brawler whose shot flies to a fixed distance and detonates in a cross, hitting through cover but never in front of him.
Early game
Pace out the distance his cross detonates at and hold a spot where the choke sits on that line; his damage is a geometry problem before it is an aim problem.
Positioning
Behind the frontline and behind a wall, since the blast forms at a set distance and anything standing closer than that is safe from him entirely.
Using your Super
The big bomb covers far more ground than the standard cross, so spend it on a push crossing a choke rather than on a lone brawler who can simply walk out of it.
Common mistakes
- Fighting anything that has closed inside the arming distance, where he has no attack at all
- Throwing at a fleeing target when the cross would have covered the ground behind them
- Standing on the frontline as a 3,000-health brawler with no escape tool
- Chokes at exactly the distance his blast arms at
- Behind a wall the enemy cannot shoot back through
- Against slow pushes, where the cross covers the whole width of the crossing
