SEASON 41 PROFILE

Swamp Spirits

Gloo

Gloo builds Sticky stacks on an enemy, splits through Spread, Spread and eventually attaches through Grab, Grab. While attached, it shares part of the danger with its host and recovers health, but the marks must be completed before that phase becomes available.

QUICK ANSWERS

The questions players ask about Gloo

01What is the best lane for Gloo?

Gloo is currently played mainly in Roaming and EXP Lane. The guide separates the recommended builds by lane or job, so choose that tab before copying the six items.

02Which Gloo build should I use?

Start with «EXP Burn Attach». The other options, «Roam Conceal Pickoff» and «EXP Anti-Physical Wall», are there for a different lane or match-up; they are not cosmetic variations.

03Which heroes counter Gloo?

Moskov, Alice and Baxia are the first counters to consider. Faramis protects the host, while Moskov can push or punish Gloo throughout the attachment.

04Which Gloo skins can be obtained now?

3 skins are marked as obtainable right now. There are no other catalogued skins locked behind a retired event at this time.
