Best star power for Nori

Among Nori players, Big Haul leads the star power slot at 51.0%. Star powers unlock at Power 9 and run passively, either always active or triggering by themselves the moment their condition is met. His Mothers Son is the alternative at 49.0%.

Best gadget for Nori

51.0% of Nori players equip Gonna Need A Bigger Net. 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. The other option, Sushi Snack, sits at 49.0%.

Best gears for Nori

On gear, Nori players favor SHIELD (37.7%), with DAMAGE (33.3%) 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 Nori 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.

About Nori

As the child of Kenji and Kaze, Nori was always destined for great things. Being the first Brawler ever born in Starr Park has also given him extraordinary powers! He's not too bad at cooking either.

Most players build Nori around Big Haul and Gonna Need A Bigger Net, picked in 51.0% and 51.0% of games respectively. The data puts Nori at S-tier, strongest in Heist at 67.0%. Out of 108 rated brawlers, Nori sits at #8 right now. Nori is classed as an Assassin, so its kit generally leans into that role's usual strengths rather than flexing into others. Draft Nori into Shelly (75.1%) and away from Doug (43.9%); on a team, it does its best work alongside Ash. Further down the list, Barley (73.0%) and Nita (71.9%) are also favorable fights for Nori. Cosmo is a solid secondary pairing for Nori too, at 67.7% together. Nori is one of the strongest picks in the game right now, expect it to be contested or banned in ranked drafts. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Big Haul (51.0%) and His Mothers Son (49.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. Nori is one of the newest additions to the roster, so its numbers are still settling as players learn the kit. On Golden Bay specifically, Nori jumps to 64.6%, its single strongest map in rotation.
