53.0% of Carl's star power picks go to Protective Pirouette. Star powers ride along with the Super rather than working on their own, so the choice follows how the brawler uses it. Power Throw trails behind at 47.0%. The most common gadget is Heat Ejector 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. Flying Hook is the alternative at 48.0%. On gear, Carl players favor SHIELD (38.6%), with DAMAGE (36.9%) close behind. Gears offer a smaller boost than a star power or gadget, so this is the fine-tuning slot of the build.
