'''King Groot (Deathless)''' is a [[Cosmic]] [[List of Champions|Champion]]. Being a Cosmic Champion, he has a [[Class Bonus]] against [[Tech]] Champions, but is weak to [[Mystic]] Champions.

==Bio==
In years past, Champions from the Death Realm staged an assault on the Battlerealm. Empowered by the Death Stone, Thanos created nameless, empty versions of the heroes of the Battlerealm. Of these nameless Champions, a select few were granted malicious will and elevated to become the Deathless, to lead his armies and sow chaos and destruction. King Groot was the second Deathless he created. Rising from the undergrowth of a barren alien forest, the Deathless master of ash conquers all!

==Mechanics==
King Groot (Deathless) takes the methodology set forward with Guillotine (Deathless) and applies it to King Groot’s kit. Since King Groot’s update was a significant improvement over his launch kit we have decided to keep that as the base and build on top of it from there. With the Deathless version we have opted for an Incinerate-themed make-over in light of his new look. To accomplish this, we have sacrificed some of the potency in the Regeneration Buff gained with his Signature Ability to add in a loop where you can build a resource and cash it out to enhance the potency of the Incinerate Debuff he inflicts on his Special Attack 2. This Incinerate replaces the Poison from the old kit and comes with some spicy new VFX work.
