Hero Review

Roc Review: The Sand Eagle That Struggled to Soar

"Roc arrived with majestic artwork and a promise of power, but landed with a thud due to a pre-release nerf. Years later, does this Sand Empire legend have any fight left in him, or is he just a glorified feather duster? We dive into his base form's utility as a cleanser and healing blocker in a world of power creep."
