Boosted Booster is 8-Bit's most-picked star power at 51.0%. A star power comes into play with the Super, which you charge up by landing attacks and then fire when you choose. The other option, Plugged In, sits at 49.0%. 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%. 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.

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 C-tier this season, peaking in Brawl Ball 5v5 (59.3% win rate). Out of 106 rated brawlers, 8-Bit sits at #76 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 60.0% against Eve down to 27.7% into Gus. Bo is the strongest recorded pairing. Beyond its best matchup, 8-Bit holds up against Clancy (58.0%) and Mr. P (58.0%) too. Gus is another strong teammate for 8-Bit, winning 71.5% of games together. The Gus 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. On Knockout Grounds specifically, 8-Bit jumps to 59.2%, its single strongest map in rotation.
