Among Hank players, Take Cover leads the star power slot at 52.0%. It takes effect when the Super goes off, so how often you charge that Super decides how much the pick is worth. Its Gonna Blow trails behind at 48.0%. The most common gadget is Water Balloons at 53.0%. 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. Barricade sees the rest of the picks at 47.0%. For gear, DAMAGE is the top pick at 38.0%, with SHIELD (32.0%) 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 Hank

Hank is a one-shrimp, one-tank army on a mission to liberate sea life from kitchens and markets everywhere. Chefs, consider yourselves on notice!

Most players build Hank around Take Cover and Water Balloons, picked in 52.0% and 53.0% of games respectively. Right now Hank is a B-tier pick. Its best mode is Hot Zone, where it holds 62.5%. Hank holds the #39 spot among 106 ranked brawlers in the current meta. On the class breakdown, Hank falls in the Tank bucket alongside the rest of that role's picks. Draft Hank into Shelly (71.6%) and away from Wendy (31.0%); on a team, it does its best work alongside 8-Bit. Hank also performs well against Nita (71.2%) and Eve (65.4%). Bo is another strong teammate for Hank, winning 65.5% of games together. The Wendy matchup is severe enough that Hank players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Take Cover (52.0%) and Its Gonna Blow (48.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. Hank is a rare sight at 0.3% use rate, win rates on low-sample brawlers move around more, so read its numbers with that in mind.
