Best star power for Griff

Keep The Change is Griff'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. Business Resilience trails behind at 49.0%.

Best gadget for Griff

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%.

Best gears for Griff

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.

What players who own Griff 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.
