Among Draco players, Expose 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. The other option, Shredding, sits at 49.0%. Upper Cut is the gadget of choice at 55.0% 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. Last Stand sees the rest of the picks at 45.0%. For gear, DAMAGE is the top pick at 38.3%, with SHIELD (33.5%) close behind. A gear only adds a smaller stat boost on top of the kit, so it is more of a fine-tuning choice than a build-defining one.

About Draco

Riding his inflatable dragon and setting off fireworks, Draco promises a show-stopping finale every night. With his electric guitar blaring and his flame-spewing ride rocking the crowd, he turns the fantasy up to eleven!

The standard Draco setup is Expose plus Upper Cut, the combination running in roughly 51.0% of builds. Right now Draco is a A-tier pick. Its best mode is Brawl Hockey, where it holds 64.9%. Draco holds the #23 spot among 106 ranked brawlers in the current meta. Draco is classed as a Tank, so its kit generally leans into that role's usual strengths rather than flexing into others. Draco preys on Shelly, winning 75.5% of those encounters, but struggles into Wendy at just 34.1%. It pairs best with Shelly. Further down the list, Nita (73.7%) and Eve (70.9%) are also favorable fights for Draco. On a team, Draco also pairs well with Bo (64.9% together). The Wendy matchup is severe enough that Draco players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Expose (51.0%) and Shredding (49.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. Draco is a rare sight at 0.2% use rate, win rates on low-sample brawlers move around more, so read its numbers with that in mind. On Nullscapes specifically, Draco rises to 65.9%, its single strongest map in rotation.
