Health Bonanza is Gus's most-picked star power at 50.0%. A star power comes into play with the Super, which you charge up by landing attacks and then fire when you choose. Spirit Animal is the alternative at 50.0%. On gear, Gus players favor SHIELD (44.6%), with DAMAGE (33.2%) close behind. Gears offer a smaller boost than a star power or gadget, so this is the fine-tuning slot of the build.

On the class breakdown, Gus falls in the Support bucket alongside the rest of that role's picks.
