Best star power for Gigi

Plie Protection is Gigi's most-picked star power at 51.0%. A star power is passive: once it is equipped it works on its own all match, with no button to press. A Helping Hand trails behind at 49.0%.

Best gadget for Gigi

51.0% of Gigi players equip Longer Strings. 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. Disappearing Act sees the rest of the picks at 49.0%.

Best gears for Gigi

DAMAGE leads the gear slot at 37.2%, with SHIELD (35.0%) close behind. Gears add a smaller boost rather than a new effect, so this pick fine-tunes the build more than it redefines it.

What players who own Gigi 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.
