Best star power for Otis

Ink Refills is Otis's most-picked star power at 52.0%. A star power is passive: once it is equipped it works on its own all match, with no button to press. Stencil Glue is the alternative at 48.0%.

Best gadget for Otis

52.0% of Otis players equip Phat Splatter. 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, Dormant Star, sits at 48.0%.

Best gears for Otis

SHIELD leads the gear slot at 31.5%, with DAMAGE (28.2%) close behind. Gears add a smaller boost rather than a new effect, so this pick fine-tunes the build more than it redefines it.

What players who own Otis 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 Otis

Otis is a young street artist on the come-up who works by shooting ink at the walls. Nobody knows his true identity, which only adds to his mystique!

Most players build Otis around Ink Refills and Phat Splatter, picked in 52.0% and 52.0% of games respectively. The data puts Otis at C-tier, strongest in Knockout at 60.2%. Otis currently ranks #67 out of 108 rated brawlers in the overall meta. On the class breakdown, Otis falls in the Controller bucket alongside the rest of that role's picks. Draft Otis into Shelly (69.3%) and away from Cosmo (34.8%); on a team, it does its best work alongside Bolt. Further down the list, Nita (66.1%) and Jacky (64.8%) are also favorable fights for Otis. On a team, Otis also pairs well with Cosmo (69.6% together). The Cosmo matchup is severe enough that Otis players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. Otis is unusually mode-dependent, the gap between its best and worst modes is over 11.9%, so where you play it matters more than usual. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Ink Refills (52.0%) and Stencil Glue (48.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. Otis is a rare sight at 0.4% use rate, win rates on low-sample brawlers move around more, so read its numbers with that in mind. On Beach Ball specifically, Otis climbs to 63.9%, its single strongest map in rotation.
