Where Grom shines
- Splitting explosions threaten defined lanes
- Indirect attacks work behind cover
Know your limits
- Opponents can dodge between the split directions
- Close engagements are difficult to manage
One habit to practice
Aim so the split lines cross likely escape routes. Use terrain to keep opponents at a manageable distance.
