Overall
Gorok's kit revolves around his war-beast Horn Beetle and the Sworn Foe system. He marks the enemy opposite him as his Sworn Foe, and when allies attack that target, they gain stacking Exhilaration — boosting their haste, physical pierce, and eventually their total damage output. His own attacks alternate between sword strikes that apply Luring Pollen and Horn Beetle bites that consume it. Eating pollen builds Engorged stacks on the beetle; once full, further consumption creates Honey Cores thrown to the lowest-health ally, restoring lost health, energy, and vitality. At max Engorged and full energy, Horn Beetle triggers Sweet Rain — a sustained team-wide shield and heal-over-time paired with a heavy AoE slam on the Sworn Foe. The battle opens with a free Sweet Rain, immediately establishing team sustain and focus fire.

Engravings are not listed here because they upgrade existing skills directly. See the Skills tab for engraving effects alongside each skill.
Passive: Gorok considers the enemy hero directly opposite himself a Sworn Foe, prioritizing them as attack targets. When a Sworn Foe dies, the enemy hero with the highest initial Attack Rating will be selected as the new Sworn Foe. Horn Beetle, Gorok’s war-beast, starts with 3 stacks of Engorged, which is the maximum. Active: When Gorok is at max Energy and Horn Beetle has 3 stacks of Engorged, all Engorged stacks will be spent to cause Horn Beetle to fly into the air and trigger Sweet Rain for 6 seconds. While the rain is active, all allied units gain a shield equal to 80% of Gorok’s max health while also recovering health equal to 4% of Gorok’s max health every 0.5 seconds. At the same time, Gorok commands Horn Beetle to slam into the Sworn Foe, dealing AoE damage equal to 350% of Gorok’s Attack Rating and stunning enemy units hit for 4 seconds.
Gorok alternates attacks using his sword and Horn Beetle. When Gorok hits an enemy unit, Luring Pollen is applied. When Horn Beetle attacks an enemy affected by Luring Pollen, it eats the pollen and gains 1 stack of Engorged. Once fully Engorged, further eating of pollen will cause Horn Beetle to release a Honey Core and throw it to the allied hero with the lowest percentage of health, restoring 20% of their lost health and 50 Energy.
Passive: When allied heroes attack a Sworn Foe, they gain 1 stack of Exhilaration for 6 seconds. Each stack increases their Haste by 5 points and Physical Pierce by 6 points, stacking up to 6 times. Active: Gorok swings his sword to knock the target back, dealing damage equal to 280% of his Attack Rating and reducing the target’s Defense Rating by 45% for 10 seconds. This effect does not stack.
Horn Beetle hurls an enemy unit into the air and slams them into the area with the highest concentration of allied units, dealing damage equal to 220% of Gorok’s Attack Rating and stunning the target for 4 seconds. If the target cannot be knocked into the air, the damage is increased by 100%.
