Groot: counters, matchups and the best team

Why these matchups go this way

A second opinion written by AI from each hero's kit (shown separately from the main matrix, so it may not match it exactly).

🟢 Groot beats easily

• Cyclops His wall cuts off ranged damage lines and forces him to reposition constantly.
• Elsa Bloodstone His barrier absorbs her sustained poke before she can bring it down, until it rotates.
• Punisher He can block firing lines with his wall and force him out of his ideal position.

🔴 Groot struggles against

• Namor A shield breaker that also breaks walls, canceling Groot's main utility in a trade.
• Storm Aerial control goes over the wall, something Groot can't block.
• Scarlet Witch Area damage ignores the wall once the team is already grouped behind it.
