Shatter Strike
Leaps and slams the ground, dealing 300% / 350% / 400% / 450% / 500% damage to enemy units in a line and inflicting "Armor Break". Enemies affected by "Armor Break" have their defense reduced by 5% / 7% / 9% / 12% / 15% for 5 seconds (effect does not stack).
Quick Take
Important defensive scaling that improves frontline stability and survivability.
Berserker Feast
UltimateEnters Berserk state for 10 / 12 / 15 / 15 / 15 seconds, increasing attack speed by 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 10. While Berserk, each normal attack that hits an enemy increases critical damage by 5%, stacking up to 10 times. When Berserk ends, unleashes a powerful strike that deals 500% / 600% / 700% / 800% / 1000% damage to a large area of enemy units and removes all Berserk buffs.

Gru Newcomen is best understood as a berserker momentum carry whose value comes from how the kit affects fight tempo rather than raw numbers alone. Haste and attack-speed mechanics make the kit especially relevant in long fights where action frequency can snowball pressure over time. The defensive and sustain pieces help extend battlefield uptime, which directly supports the momentum style we have seen in trains, rallies, and prolonged PvP. Control pressure can interrupt enemy rhythm, buying time for allied carries and support engines to take over the fight. This makes Gru Newcomen most attractive in Riders-focused teams that can support the hero's main mechanic and keep fights within their preferred tempo window.
Gru Newcomen is a strong PvP investment when placed into the right synergy structure. The kit should scale best in organized fights where the hero's main mechanic can repeatedly activate.
