3) Abies Algae (A-tier)

The Abies Algae skin in all Marvel Rivals Groot skins brings an interesting twist on Groot’s usual design, giving him a glowing, bioluminescent blue color thanks to glowing algae merging with his natural plant physiology. This fresh and vibrant take adds a whole new layer of uniqueness to his look, especially with the glowing effect.

His in-game description is as follows:

"Peter, it is also my first time seeing Groot eat. The plant life combined with his physiology, so the blue, glowing algae have merged with his chlorophyll. I sense his joy, bioluminescent and bright."

This skin appears in Season 0 of Marvel Rivals, and at 600 Units, it offers a more affordable alternative to the GOTG Vol. 3 costume without sacrificing style.

4) Base Skin (B-tier)

The base skin may lack the flash of the other options, but it’s a classic for a reason. Representing Groot in his original form, this look captures the sturdy yet silent guardian role. As a flora colossus from Planet X, Groot’s ability to regenerate and manipulate plant life is perfectly reflected in this no-frills design.

Players new to Groot or fans of his timeless style will appreciate this costume in Marvel Rivals Groot skins. While it doesn’t offer the enhancements or unique features of higher-tier skins, its reliability, and nod to the design in the comics make it a solid starting point.

Marvel Rivals Groot is one of the more interesting Vanguards in NetEase Games' hero-shooter title due to his ability kit that is dependent on creating blockades for mitigating damage. Although the walls themselves can be taken down quite easily, they have special properties that can help you win fights. Newcomers will need to grind the game and practice with this tank for a while before they can master Groot's positioning and playstyle.

Groot's ultimate ability is unlike any other and acts as a massive crowd control binding skill that can turn the tides of a war. Team fights are the most effective place for this ability. That said, Groot lacks regeneration skills, so make sure to have a dependable support player by your side during fights.
