Chieftain of the Warsong Clan, Grommash is a melee tank focused around self sustain(optionally transitioning to a damaging bruiser) through smart spending and acquisition of Felblood. He enters battle as a savage whirlwind of calculated steel and blood and is severely punished by poor attempts at initiation.

General Playstyle
Grommash is about getting in fights at opportune moments and being smart with your Felblood consumption and generating.
The ideal fight is for his team's initiator to go in and get the fight started, so Grom can jump in and do his full combo(which repeats, if not interupted) for as long as he can and spending just enough Felblood to maintain all 4 moves of the combo.
At level 10 he can choose to branch between burst push with an extra wave of orcs or teamfight brawling with an insanely powered up warsong combo.
