Best star power for Edgar

55.0% of Edgar's star power picks go to Fisticuffs. A brawler owns two star powers but fights with one, so the slot is a standing choice about how Edgar plays rather than something you activate. Hard Landing trails behind at 45.0%.

Best gadget for Edgar

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%.

Best gears for Edgar

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.

What players who own Edgar 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 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 B-tier, with its strongest results coming in Wipeout 5v5 at a 57.5% win rate. Out of 108 rated brawlers, Edgar sits at #51 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 Jacky, winning 62.3% of those encounters, but struggles into Cosmo at just 23.7%. It pairs best with Sam. Edgar also performs well against Nita (59.8%) and Jessie (57.5%). Hank is another strong teammate for Edgar, winning 67.1% 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 Cosmo 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 5.8% overall use rate. On Photic Doom specifically, Edgar climbs to 56.1%, its single strongest map in rotation.
