Magic-damage tank whose ultimate knocks up and pulls the enemy team together
TankFighterRoamEXP LaneDeals magic
Gatotkaca is a frontline tank who deals Magic Power-scaled damage instead of the physical damage most tanks lean on. Avatar of the Guardian is a hard-to-dodge AoE knockup that also pulls fringe enemies toward the center, while Unbreakable forces enemies in its path to attack him, tanking damage meant for squishier allies.

Unbreakable's channel-then-sprint has a punishable wind-up, and landing the ultimate for maximum pull value takes positioning practice.

Strengths
Avatar of the Guardian is a team-wide AoE knockup that also pulls fringe enemies to the center, hard to fully dodge
Unbreakable forces enemies on its path to attack Gatotkaca, tanking damage meant for squishier allies
Steel Bones passively grants defense scaling off lost HP and periodically empowers a basic attack with bonus magic damage and healing
Blast Iron Fist's damage zone punishes enemies for standing and trading in melee range
Weaknesses
All of his damage scales off Magic Power despite being frontline, forcing itemization trade-offs most tanks skip
Unbreakable's channel has a wind-up that can be interrupted by CC before the forced-attack effect goes off
No hard single-target lockdown — his CC is all AoE, so a lone flanker can ignore him entirely
Avatar of the Guardian's 54s cooldown means one missed engage leaves him without his best tool for a while
Skills
Max Blast Iron Fist first for zone damage and slow uptime, then Unbreakable second for engage range, taking the ultimate at 4, 8 and 12.

Gatotkaca gains [1] Physical Defense equal to 2% of his lost HP (up to 100). For every 300 damage he takes (calculated before damage reduction), he gains 5 Rage (up to 100). Upon reaching over 25 Rage, Gatotkaca's next Basic Attack becomes enhanced, consuming all Rage to deal extra Magic Damage and recover. The extra damage scales with his Rage, level, and Magic Power.

Gatotkaca begins channeling, then sprints in the target direction with a battle cry, forcing enemies on the path to attack him and deal 200–300 (+100% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage for 1.5 seconds. The sprint distance scales with the channel time. Canceling the Skill reduces 50% of the remaining Cooldown.

CCMobility
Gatotkaca jumps to the target location, dealing 500–1000 (+300% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to nearby enemies and knocking them airborne for 1 second. Enemies near the center of the area will be knocked airborne for a longer duration, while enemies on the fringes will be pulled to the center. The camera will move with the skill indicator but won't grant extra sight.

Signature combo
Unbreakable to close distance → Avatar of the Guardian to knock up and pull the group together → Blast Iron Fist to zone the follow-up fight.
Gatotkaca builds
Core items in buy order, with the emblem, talents and battle spell that go with them.
Magic Tank Initiator
7,260g total
Default pick as the team's primary engage and frontline.
The 'Flicker combo' — blinking in right as a hook or stun lands, or blinking out the instant an enemy ultimate is cast — is the single most common high-elo outplay moment in the game.
Swap in when needed
Athena's Shield — Against a burst magic diver he has to engage into first.
Antique Cuirass — Against physical skill-combo fighters punishing his engage.
Immortality — Insurance for committing hard to the first engage.
Gatotkaca Magic Tank Initiator build: Magic Shoes, then Clock of Destiny, then Dominance Ice, then Guardian Helmet.
EXP Lane Bruiser
6,950g total
When laning top instead of roaming, needing more self-sufficient damage.
Petrify's short stun window is enough to force a follow-up teammate combo but not to solo-lock a target — pair it with an ally's burst rather than expecting to win the fight alone.
Swap in when needed
Radiant Armor — Against sustained magic damage in extended lane trades.
Immortality — Insurance for over-extending in a solo lane.
Gatotkaca EXP Lane Bruiser build: Tough Boots, then Cursed Helmet, then Brute Force Breastplate, then Queen's Wings.
Who counters Gatotkaca
The heroes that make this matchup hard, and the mechanic that does it.
Use Blast Iron Fist to zone a lane or contest jungle camps rather than for direct engage damage
2
Cancel Unbreakable early if it whiffs — the skill refunds half its remaining cooldown
3
Position Avatar of the Guardian so fringe enemies get pulled toward your team's damage, not away from it
4
Let Rage build passively before engaging so the first basic attack of a fight lands the bonus magic damage and heal
Gatotkaca — common questions
Is Gatotkaca good for beginners?
Gatotkaca is fairly beginner-friendly — his ultimate is an easy-to-aim AoE knockup, though timing Unbreakable's channel without getting interrupted takes some practice.
What is the best build for Gatotkaca?
Magic Shoes into Clock of Destiny, Dominance Ice and Guardian Helmet covers the standard magic-tank build, since all of his skill damage scales off Magic Power rather than physical stats.
Which heroes counter Gatotkaca?
X.Borg and Aldous are the hardest counters because their damage scales off his own HP pool rather than being blunted by it, while Lesley, Natalia, Mathilda and Granger all dodge or outrange his group-only crowd control.
What does Gatotkaca's ultimate do?
Avatar of the Guardian jumps to a target location, dealing heavy magic damage and knocking nearby enemies airborne, while pulling enemies on the fringes of the area toward the center so they can't dodge the follow-up.
