Why does Grand have two passives? If Frigost has to waste a passive to make their shield cool, and if Abyss has to waste a passive to ignore blocks, why does Grand have two passives?

Grand's click combos are pretty strong at the moment. Fast and good single target damage without grandu sword, and heavily damaging and crowd-controlling with sword. Grand is just really damaging with their click attacks overall.

E gives Grand a nice buff while slowing you down a tad. Its good, but for combat situations it better to just go into E using Z or C, because it automatically does that, unless of course you want to use E to put away the sword.

X is one of the best dashes in the game. Homing, low cooldown, and decent mana cost?

C is the only block in the game that STAGGERS. Frigost's off balances, Omega's just reduces damage, but Grand's STAGGERS. AND gives you a hefty damage boost. One of the best moves in the game overall.

While V has a short range, V also does a MASSIVE amount of single target damage, slowing with each hit, before unleashing a deadly shockwave forward. It is very strong, and in my opinion, looks cool as well.

Strengths:

+ Strong click combo

+ One of the best kits in the entire game

+ Gigantic sword

Weaknesses:

- Dunno weaknesses:

- mildly high cooldowns

- slow

- predictable (though hard to react to)

- not very good against large crowds
