Keep The Change is Griff's most-picked star power at 51.0%. A star power comes into play with the Super, which you charge up by landing attacks and then fire when you choose. Business Resilience trails behind at 49.0%. 55.0% of Griff players equip Piggy Bank. 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. Coin Shower sees the rest of the picks at 45.0%. For gear, SHIELD is the top pick at 39.8%, with DAMAGE (36.3%) close behind. A gear only adds a smaller stat boost on top of the kit, so it is more of a fine-tuning choice than a build-defining one.

About Griff

The standard Griff setup is Keep The Change plus Piggy Bank, the combination running in roughly 51.0% of builds. The data puts Griff at B-tier, strongest in Knockout at 59.7%. Out of 106 rated brawlers, Griff sits at #36 right now. On the class breakdown, Griff falls in the Controller bucket alongside the rest of that role's picks. Its best matchup is Shelly (61.5% win rate against), while Wendy is the pick that shuts it down hardest (36.9%). Wendy is its most effective teammate. Beyond its best matchup, Griff holds up against Mr. P (60.4%) and Eve (60.4%) too. Nori is another strong teammate for Griff, winning 64.5% of games together. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Keep The Change (51.0%) and Business Resilience (49.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode.
