Grover is a Support Champion in Paladins, added on February 11, 2016.
Grover is one of the Champions in Paladins.
Lore
The soul of the forest isn't an invisible spirit or comforting poem about being one with nature, it's an angry walking tree with a huge stone axe. After decades of peaceful slumber since the last time Grover had to walk the land and help put down the goblin scourge, he has awoken once again to find the forests of the Realm threatened by the spread of humanoid civilization, rampant industrialization, and the fires of war.
Hoisting his trusty axe, he stomps into battle once again, intent on destroying anything and anyone who would harm the natural world.
Summary
Grover is a ranged support character that focuses on range Poke Damage and Group Healing. Grover's Throwing Axe Does high damage when the enemy is farther away the enemy is from him thus his axe having a low dmg when enemies are closer to him. His healing ability Blossom Is a passive heal only healing allies who are near him, activate this skill for a immediate burst heal on allies in your passive ability's Healing affect. Grover can also Throw his axe to cripple a foe and prevent them from using movement abilities. Grover can also Extend a vine from his arm to grab a ally or surface to pull himself to them like a grappling hook. Grover has one of the most conflicting ability sets with his kit having no synergy together and players often having to choose between, Long range high damage Grover, or Group Healing Grover.
