Best star power for Glowy

Biotic Ecosystem is Glowy's most-picked star power at 56.0%. A star power is passive: once it is equipped it works on its own all match, with no button to press. The other option, Parasitism, sits at 44.0%.

Best gadget for Glowy

The most common gadget is More Lumens at 51.0%. 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. The other option, Slippery Savior, sits at 49.0%.

Best gears for Glowy

On gear, Glowy players favor SHIELD (38.6%), with DAMAGE (31.4%) close behind. Gears offer a smaller boost than a star power or gadget, so this is the fine-tuning slot of the build.

What players who own Glowy 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.
