Toss Up is Bolt's most-picked star power at 53.0%. A star power comes into play with the Super, which you charge up by landing attacks and then fire when you choose. Unstoppaball is the alternative at 47.0%. 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. 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.
