51.0% of El Primo's star power picks go to El Fuego. Star powers ride along with the Super rather than working on their own, so the choice follows how the brawler uses it. The other option, Meteor Rush, sits at 49.0%. The most common gadget is Suplex Supplement at 50.0%. You fire it yourself and can keep using it all match, waiting out the cooldown each time, so players pick the effect they want on hand most often. Asteroid Belt is the alternative at 50.0%. DAMAGE leads the gear slot at 29.0%, with SHIELD (24.0%) 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 El Primo

El Primo is always in the spotlight and that's right where he wants to be! There's no audience he can't win over, except maybe his fellow performers...

The most popular El Primo build runs El Fuego (51.0% pick rate) with Suplex Supplement (50.0%). In the current meta El Primo rates C-tier; Heist is where it performs best, winning 56.7% of games. Out of 106 rated brawlers, El Primo sits at #54 right now. El Primo is classed as a Tank, so its kit generally leans into that role's usual strengths rather than flexing into others. Against Eve, El Primo wins 57.7% of games, its most favorable matchup. Bolt is the counter to respect (25.6%), and Gus the teammate that lifts it most. El Primo also performs well against Brock (57.4%) and Mr. P (55.5%). On a team, El Primo also pairs well with Amber (69.1% together). The Bolt matchup is severe enough that El Primo players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. The star power choice is genuinely contested, El Fuego (51.0%) and Meteor Rush (49.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode.
