Best star power for 8-Bit

Boosted Booster is 8-Bit's most-picked star power at 51.0%. A star power is passive: once it is equipped it works on its own all match, with no button to press. The other option, Plugged In, sits at 49.0%.

Best gadget for 8-Bit

58.0% of 8-Bit players equip Extra Credits. A gadget has no cap on uses in a match, just a cooldown between them, so the choice comes down to which effect is worth reaching for again and again. The other option, Cheat Cartridge, sits at 42.0%.

Best gears for 8-Bit

On gear, 8-Bit players favor DAMAGE (31.3%), with SHIELD (29.6%) close behind. Gears offer a smaller boost than a star power or gadget, so this is the fine-tuning slot of the build.

What players who own 8-Bit have unlocked, counted from tracked profiles over the last 30 days. "Unlocked first" is the share among the players who own only one of a pair, which is the closest thing to a preference the game data exposes: Supercell never publishes which build a player equipped in a match, so nothing here is a pick rate or a win rate by build.

About 8-Bit

An arcade game famous for its brutal difficulty, 8-Bit always hated its players. Now that it's missing one of its guns, it's angrier than ever before.

Most players build 8-Bit around Boosted Booster and Extra Credits, picked in 51.0% and 58.0% of games respectively. 8-Bit grades out at D-tier this season, peaking in Brawl Arena (54.8% win rate). Out of 108 rated brawlers, 8-Bit sits at #92 right now. As a Damage Dealer, 8-Bit is usually drafted to fill that role rather than as a flexible pick outside it. The matchup spread runs from 59.6% against Jacky down to 20.5% into Cosmo. Doug is the strongest recorded pairing. Beyond its best matchup, 8-Bit holds up against Crow (54.3%) and Emz (53.7%) too. Cosmo is another strong teammate for 8-Bit, winning 67.2% of games together. 8-Bit is currently one of the weaker picks in the roster; it can still work on the right map, but it's fighting the meta. The Cosmo matchup is severe enough that 8-Bit players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Boosted Booster (51.0%) and Plugged In (49.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode.
