Best Bolt Build
Most picked build across all modes
Best star power for Bolt
Toss Up is Bolt'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. Unstoppaball is the alternative at 47.0%.
Best gadget for Bolt
54.0% of Bolt players equip Bouncy Ball. 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.
Best gears for Bolt
On gear, Bolt players favor DAMAGE (34.3%), with HEALTH (27.2%) close behind. Gears offer a smaller boost than a star power or gadget, so this is the fine-tuning slot of the build.
What Bolt players unlock
Of the Bolt players who have unlocked only one star power, 59.6% chose Toss Up.
83.6% of maxed Bolt owners have unlocked his Hypercharge.
What players who own Bolt 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.
