Overall
Gorvo is a self-sustaining tank built around layered shields and crowd control. His ultimate taunts nearby enemies into attacking him with normal attacks while deflecting most of that incoming damage back at them — and every ultimate cast refreshes his shield, which scales off max health. The shield itself drives his sustain engine: while shielded, he passively regenerates health each second, and unbroken shields convert their remaining value into energy, accelerating the next ultimate. Between taunts, his hammer periodically charges a guaranteed critical strike that stuns enemies in an area. A dive bomb provides additional AoE stun with brief invulnerability during the leap. Shield efficacy bonuses apply to all shields he receives, and his hammer charge cycles also stack damage reduction, making him progressively harder to kill.
