Best gadget for Darryl

Tar Barrel is the gadget of choice at 53.0% pick rate. A gadget is the part of the loadout you press: unlike the passive star power, it fires on demand and can be used as often as you like once its cooldown is up. The other option, Recoiling Rotator, sits at 47.0%.

What players who own Darryl 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 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 D-tier, with its strongest results coming in Brawl Ball 5v5 at a 49.8% win rate. Darryl holds the #100 spot among 108 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 Nita, winning 59.1% of those encounters, but struggles into Cosmo at just 19.9%. It pairs best with Cosmo. Beyond its best matchup, Darryl holds up against Jacky (58.6%) and Shelly (56.5%) too. Shade is a solid secondary pairing for Darryl too, at 61.7% together. Darryl 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 Cosmo 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.
