Rock

The Rock is an Epic Troop which has lots of health and low damage, but moves at a relatively slow pace.

Usage
The Rock is a great alternative to the Giant Noob. He moves faster than the Giant Noob, making him more viable to protect troops that are in motion. Additionally, due to him being cheaper and faster than the Giant Noob, he helps defend against Giant Noob spam.

However, the Rock has many flaws. Its low damage and slow speed makes it unable to effectively take out enemy support troops and swarms. Placing troops behind the Rock may be a good idea when starting a counterpush but keep in mind that there is no troop collision and your support troops may end up going in front of the Rock. To counter this, try placing your troops at a distance away from the Rock.

Rock excels in King of the Hill Mode as its slow speed and high health allows it to stay in the Hill for a longer duration.
