Best star power for Crow

Among Crow players, Extra Toxic leads the star power slot at 50.0%. Star powers unlock at Power 9 and run passively, either always active or triggering by themselves the moment their condition is met. The other option, Carrion Crow, sits at 50.0%.

Best gadget for Crow

The most common gadget is Slowing Toxin 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. Instapoison is the alternative at 48.0%.

Best gears for Crow

On gear, Crow players favor DAMAGE (38.1%), with SHIELD (35.3%) close behind. Gears offer a smaller boost than a star power or gadget, so this is the fine-tuning slot of the build.

What players who own Crow 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.

About Crow

Crow trusts no one and keeps to himself. The most anyone knows about him is that he's often found at the diner, hanging out with Bull and Bibi.

The most popular Crow build runs Extra Toxic (50.0% pick rate) with Slowing Toxin (52.0%). Right now Crow is a D-tier pick. Its best mode is Wipeout 5v5, where it holds 50.9%. Crow currently ranks #106 out of 108 rated brawlers in the overall meta. On the class breakdown, Crow falls in the Assassin bucket alongside the rest of that role's picks. Draft Crow into Shelly (52.7%) and away from Wendy (26.5%); on a team, it does its best work alongside Trunk. Crow also performs well against Jacky (51.5%) and Nita (50.7%). Wendy is another strong teammate for Crow, winning 62.1% of games together. Crow is currently one of the weaker picks in the roster; it can still work on the right map, but it's fighting the meta. The Wendy matchup is severe enough that Crow players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Extra Toxic (50.0%) and Carrion Crow (50.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode.
