Among Darryl players, Steel Hoops leads the star power slot at 51.0%. It takes effect when the Super goes off, so how often you charge that Super decides how much the pick is worth. Rolling Reload is the alternative at 49.0%. Tar Barrel is the gadget of choice at 53.0% pick rate. Unlike a star power, a gadget is triggered on its own rather than with the Super, and it can be used as often as you like once its cooldown is up. The other option, Recoiling Rotator, sits at 47.0%.

About Darryl

Darryl put on the pirate captain's hat in a bid to avoid work, but now he's forced to defend his ship! Who knew being in charge took actual effort?

For gear and gadget choices, the field has settled on Steel Hoops (51.0%) and Tar Barrel (53.0%) as Darryl's default build. Darryl currently sits at C-tier, with its strongest results coming in Basket Brawl at a 55.3% win rate. Darryl holds the #66 spot among 106 ranked brawlers in the current meta. Darryl is classed as a Tank, so its kit generally leans into that role's usual strengths rather than flexing into others. Darryl preys on Eve, winning 61.9% of those encounters, but struggles into Wendy at just 23.8%. It pairs best with Bo. Beyond its best matchup, Darryl holds up against Brock (61.3%) and Grom (60.6%) too. Gus is a solid secondary pairing for Darryl too, at 70.8% together. The Wendy matchup is severe enough that Darryl players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Steel Hoops (51.0%) and Rolling Reload (49.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode.
