As a Tank, Gloo has high mobility, strong crowd control (CC), can sustain in the early to mid game, regenerates HP with 'Grab, Grab' (Ultimate Skill) and can be a Tank and damage dealer so he is very flexible for aggressive playing styles and is difficult to kill when stuck to the enemy.

His passive skill is called 'Stick, Stick', his enemies will get 1 stack of 'Stick' every time he is hit by his skill, reducing his enemies' Movement Speed by 4% for 6 seconds which can be stacked up to 5 stacks.

His 1st skill is called 'Slam, Slam', Gloo will stretch out his hand and slam the ground while dealing 80 (+80% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to his enemies.

At the end of the attack, Goo (a small part of his body) is left behind and explodes after 3 seconds to deal 300 – 450 (+12% HP Extra) Magic Damage to nearby enemies while paralyzing them for 1 second.

When Gloo touches Goo, the Goo will explode, setting the skill's cooldown and healing Gloo for 2.5% – 5% of maximum HP if the explosion hits an enemy.

His Ultimate Skill is called 'Grab, Grab', this works when any enemy has a full-stack 'Stick'.

Gloo will stick to the target enemy for 9 seconds, restoring 25% – 30% of its maximum HP.

During this duration, his basic attacks will deal 30 – 90 (+50% Total Magic Power) (+6% extra HP) Magic Damage and transfer 80% of the damage received to his enemy target.

If the enemy target dies while he is attacking, the cooldown of this skill will be reduced to 5 seconds.
