Garrosh doesn’t have much solo kill potential, so a burst mage like Kael’thas makes a great addition to his displacement abilities for a powerful one-two punch of damage. Using Kael’thas’ Gravity Lapse and Flame Strike after an enemy is thrown by Garrosh can be an effective way to secure kills.

Garrosh’s greatest weakness is his low mobility, but once he’s in melee range, he’s a force to be reckoned with. Lúcio’s ability to boost the movement speed of surrounding allies allows makes it much easier for Garrosh to engage enemies with Groundbreaker. Soundwave is also a powerful follow-up to an enemy getting thrown, displacing them as far as possible!

A lot of Garrosh’s survivability is tied into the amount of Armor he gains at low health. Malthael’s trait bypasses Armor and deals % damage, making him incredibly effective against Garrosh. Additionally, Wraith Strike helps Malthael stick to Garrosh if he tries to run, and allows him to teleport back to Garrosh’s location after being thrown.

Lunara’s increased movement speed and long-range poke makes her a safe pick against Garrosh. She is able to keep a cautionary distance from the Warchief, and bob and weave in range to deal sustained damage over long periods of time. In addition, her slow allows her to set the tempo of the fight and kite Garrosh around.

Leoric is a very effective bruiser against Garrosh. His ability to drain a percentage of health and recover it for himself allows him to sustain against Garrosh very well. He can also use Wraith Walk to counter both Groundbreaker and Wrecking Ball due to the Unstoppable buff, making it very hard for Garrosh to put Leoric into a sticky situation and keep him there long enough to do lasting damage.
