Planet X Pals
Groot is a fun tanky character on his own, but for some of us it’s hard to imagine him without also thinking of a furry raccoon creature riding on his shoulder with a giant gun. The Planet X Pals Team-Up brings that imagery to life by allowing either Rocket Raccoon or Jeff The Land Shark to attach onto Groot’s shoulder. They can then attack from the position while enjoying a damage reduction.
Out of all the Team-Ups, this one lends itself to feeling the most symbiotic. Groot can help his smaller friends charge into battle more easily, with both picking off enemies as they go. At the same time, Groot’s passengers can provide easy heals straight from his shoulder. I highly encourage jumping onto your next tree man teammate if you want a more active role during combat.
