Planet X Pals

Rocket can ride Groot's wall as a turret; Jeff gets a heal pulse.

Anchor

Groot

Vanguard

Wall-builder backbone. Planet X Pals anchor; Vibrant Vitality secondary — wall reinforces under Mantis pollen.

Secondary

Rocket Raccoon

Strategist

Beam-heal + ult-revive Strategist. Planet X Pals secondary; Rocket Network anchor — beacon-revives backline.

Secondary

Jeff the Land Shark

Strategist

Burst heal + ult-swallow gimmick. Planet X Pals secondary; Symbiote Shenanigans secondary — sustain everywhere.

How to run it

The lowest-skill-floor backline. Groot wall + Rocket turret on the high ground = free site denial. Jeff's heal pulse covers the ult-window vulnerability.

Best maps

Spider-Islands (Tokyo 2099)

Convoy

Vertical map — Spider-Man and Iron Man over-perform. Punishes Hulk and Captain America's short-jump kits.

Birnin T'Challa

Domination

Open point with elevated peripheries. Strong Hawkeye + Hela map; Black Panther over-performs on home turf.

When to lock it in

Planet X Pals is a strong team-up as of the latest snapshot. Lock the anchor early in the draft phase if your team is committing to vanguard sustain — without Groot, the synergy doesn't activate.
