Best Ash Build
Most picked build across all modes
Best star power for Ash
Mad As Heck is Ash's most-picked star power at 53.0%. A star power is passive: once it is equipped it works on its own all match, with no button to press. The other option, First Bash, sits at 47.0%.
Best gadget for Ash
The most common gadget is Chill Pill at 52.0%. You fire it yourself and can keep using it all match, waiting out the cooldown each time, so players pick the effect they want on hand most often. The other option, Rotten Banana, sits at 48.0%.
Best gears for Ash
SHIELD leads the gear slot at 23.4%, with SUPER CHARGE (22.8%) close behind. Gears add a smaller boost rather than a new effect, so this pick fine-tunes the build more than it redefines it.
What Ash players unlock
Of the Ash players who have unlocked only one star power, 55.4% chose First Bash.
94.9% of maxed Ash owners have unlocked his Hypercharge.
What players who own Ash 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.
