32.8% Pick

55.0% of Edgar's star power picks go to Fisticuffs. Star powers ride along with the Super rather than working on their own, so the choice follows how the brawler uses it. Hard Landing trails behind at 45.0%. 53.0% of Edgar players equip Lets Fly. A gadget has no cap on uses in a match, just a cooldown between them, so the choice comes down to which effect is worth reaching for again and again. Hardcore is the alternative at 47.0%. DAMAGE leads the gear slot at 36.5%, with SHIELD (32.8%) close behind. Gears add a smaller boost rather than a new effect, so this pick fine-tunes the build more than it redefines it.

About Edgar

Edgar believes nobody understands him. Certainly not his mom, who thinks he's going through a phase. Only he knows the darkness in his soul is eternal.

For gear and gadget choices, the field has settled on Fisticuffs (55.0%) and Lets Fly (53.0%) as Edgar's default build. Edgar currently sits at C-tier, with its strongest results coming in Gem Grab 5v5 at a 58.5% win rate. Out of 106 rated brawlers, Edgar sits at #61 right now. Edgar is classed as an Assassin, so its kit generally leans into that role's usual strengths rather than flexing into others. Edgar preys on Eve, winning 56.4% of those encounters, but struggles into Gus at just 25.7%. It pairs best with Bo. Edgar also performs well against Mr. P (55.9%) and Brock (55.2%). Gus is another strong teammate for Edgar, winning 69.1% of games together. Edgar 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 Gus matchup is severe enough that Edgar players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. Edgar is one of the most-played brawlers in the game at 6.7% overall use rate.
