Gloo is one of the most unique and annoying tanks to face in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. With the ability to split into Goos and nullify enemy skills, Gloo thrives in chaotic fights and can completely turn teamfights around when played right. His Skill 2, “Spread, Spread”, is especially powerful, offering a form of immunity that makes him untargetable—perfect for dodging some of the strongest ultimates in the game.
In this guide, we’ll dive deep into how Gloo’s immunity works, which enemy skills it can counter, and the heroes that can punish Gloo despite his advantages. Whether you’re new to Gloo or looking to master his skill set, this breakdown will help you maximize his potential and avoid common pitfalls.
How Gloo’s Immunity Works
To start, Gloo’s Skill 2, Spread, Spread, allows him to split into Goos and move freely on the battlefield. During this phase, Gloo becomes untargetable by most lock-on skills. This means that for a few seconds, Gloo can avoid being hit by powerful crowd control abilities or damaging ultimates.
What makes this skill especially valuable is its reliability. When timed right, it can shut down enemy plays completely. Players often underestimate this ability, only to find their combos wasted as Gloo melts away into his gooey form.
Skills Gloo Can Dodge with Spread, Spread
Thanks to the untargetable mechanic in Skill 2, Gloo can dodge a surprising number of key abilities in Mobile Legends. Here are some notable examples:
- Lolita: Both her first skill and her ultimate can be dodged with perfect timing. Instead of getting stunned, Gloo simply vanishes into his Goos.
- Hayabusa: When Hayabusa uses his ultimate, Gloo can avoid all incoming slashes by activating Spread, Spread. This counters a burst that would otherwise melt squishy heroes.
- Franco: Gloo can block Franco’s hook (Skill 1) and ultimate if his immunity is used right as the chain comes in. This turns Franco’s most dangerous tools into useless animations.
- Johnson: Perhaps the flashiest interaction, Gloo can completely stop Johnson’s ultimate crash. The moment Johnson dives in, Gloo splits—and Johnson whiffs.
- Chang’e and Lesley: Their channeling-based ultimates can be blocked using the Goos. Even if you can’t avoid all the hits, much of the damage will be soaked by the mini-Gloos.
- Enemy Traps: Gloo’s Goos can trigger and remove traps placed by heroes like Selena and Popol and Kupa, giving your team more map control.
Through all of these, Gloo proves that he’s not just tanky—he’s smart, slippery, and perfect for breaking enemy momentum.
Gloo’s Hidden Utility: Goos as Shields and Disruptors
Aside from immunity, Gloo’s Goos offer added utility. These mini-versions of Gloo can act as damage blockers, soak traps, and provide vision. They can also interrupt channels and zone enemies away from squishy allies.
This gives Gloo incredible presence in teamfights. Even if his main body isn’t in the front line, his Goos can pressure backlines, interrupt ultimates, and protect carries. Used well, Gloo becomes more than a tank—he becomes a mobile fortress.
Countering Gloo: Heroes Who Exploit His Goos
While Gloo’s immunity is strong, several heroes can still punish him if you’re not careful. Let’s break down the key counters and why they work:
- Lunox: When Gloo splits, Lunox’s Chaos attacks can lifesteal a significant amount of HP from the Goos. Even worse, if Gloo uses his ultimate, Grab, Grab, Lunox can cancel it entirely with her Light ultimate, stopping his engage cold.
- Carmilla: Like Lunox, Carmilla’s Skill 1 allows her to lifesteal from multiple Goos at once, recovering a huge chunk of health mid-fight.
- Faramis: His Skill 2 does more damage when it hits multiple enemies. With Goos spread around, Faramis can deal devastating area damage.
- Vexana: If her passive triggers on a Goo and she finishes them off, the damage output can be massive. Vexana thrives in chaotic fights where Goos are everywhere.
In short, Gloo can dominate most enemies—but against these heroes, you’ll need to play carefully and time your skills wisely.
Gloo’s Power Lies in Timing
Gloo isn’t just a tank; he’s a master of disruption. When played with precision, his immunity can outplay even the deadliest combos in Mobile Legends. However, this power comes with a price—poor timing or bad matchups can quickly turn your Goos into liabilities.
To master Gloo, you need to understand both when to go in and when to fall back. Know your counters, track enemy cooldowns, and always be ready to split and slide your way out of danger. Gloo rewards smart plays and quick thinking, making him one of the most satisfying tanks to learn.
