Best star power for Frank

51.0% of Frank's star power picks go to Sponge. A brawler owns two star powers but fights with one, so the slot is a standing choice about how Frank plays rather than something you activate. Power Grab is the alternative at 49.0%.

Best gadget for Frank

Active Noise Canceling is the gadget of choice at 56.0% 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, Irresistible Attraction, sits at 44.0%.

Best gears for Frank

SHIELD leads the gear slot at 32.7%, with DAMAGE (32.6%) 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 Frank 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 Frank

Frank is a good-natured giant who helps out at the mortuary by day and spins tunes at the Club by night. He doesn't get a lot of sleep, and it shows.

The most popular Frank build runs Sponge (51.0% pick rate) with Active Noise Canceling (56.0%). Frank grades out at C-tier this season, peaking in Brawl Arena (58.0% win rate). Frank holds the #68 spot among 108 ranked brawlers in the current meta. Frank is classed as a Tank, so its kit generally leans into that role's usual strengths rather than flexing into others. Against Jacky, Frank wins 63.5% of games, its most favorable matchup. Cosmo is the counter to respect (26.1%), and Bolt the teammate that lifts it most. Frank also performs well against Nita (61.5%) and Jessie (57.9%). On a team, Frank also pairs well with Trunk (67.4% together). The Cosmo matchup is severe enough that Frank players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Sponge (51.0%) and Power Grab (49.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode.
