Foot Patrol is Grom's most-picked star power at 50.0%. A star power comes into play with the Super, which you charge up by landing attacks and then fire when you choose. X-Factor is the alternative at 50.0%. The most common gadget is Watchtower at 57.0%. You fire it yourself and can keep using it all match, waiting out the cooldown each time, so players pick the effect they want on hand most often. Radio Check sees the rest of the picks at 43.0%. SHIELD leads the gear slot at 40.3%, with DAMAGE (24.8%) close behind. Gears add a smaller boost rather than a new effect, so this pick fine-tunes the build more than it redefines it.

About Grom

Grom is a brawny security guard with one weak point: the flashbacks he gets from his time working at a kindergarten. Those kids were merciless.

For gear and gadget choices, the field has settled on Foot Patrol (50.0%) and Watchtower (57.0%) as Grom's default build. Grom grades out at D-tier this season, peaking in Brawl Ball (53.2% win rate). Out of 106 rated brawlers, Grom sits at #103 right now. As an Artillery, Grom is usually drafted to fill that role rather than as a flexible pick outside it. Against Shelly, Grom wins 55.5% of games, its most favorable matchup. Wendy is the counter to respect (24.3%), and Wendy the teammate that lifts it most. Beyond its best matchup, Grom holds up against Nita (53.7%) and Eve (52.7%) too. Nori is a solid secondary pairing for Grom too, at 62.4% together. Grom is currently one of the weaker picks in the roster; it can still work on the right map, but it's fighting the meta. The Wendy matchup is severe enough that Grom players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. Grom is unusually mode-dependent, the gap between its best and worst modes is over 10.9%, so where you play it matters more than usual. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Foot Patrol (50.0%) and X-Factor (50.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. Grom is a rare sight at 0.4% use rate, win rates on low-sample brawlers move around more, so read its numbers with that in mind.
