Best star power for Pierce

Among Pierce players, Mission Swimpossible leads the star power slot at 50.0%. Star powers unlock at Power 9 and run passively, either always active or triggering by themselves the moment their condition is met. The other option, Slip N Snipe, sits at 50.0%.

Best gadget for Pierce

The most common gadget is Bottomless Mags at 51.0%. 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. You Only Brawl Twice is the alternative at 49.0%.

Best gears for Pierce

For gear, DAMAGE is the top pick at 39.4%, with SHIELD (38.0%) 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.

What players who own Pierce 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 Pierce

You know pool lifeguards? Pierce is one of those. Except he shoots people instead of saving them. OK maybe he isn't like a lifeguard at all. When Buzz decides there has been too much pee in the pool, he calls in Pierce to 'clean up'.

The standard Pierce setup is Mission Swimpossible plus Bottomless Mags, the combination running in roughly 50.0% of builds. In the current meta Pierce rates A-tier; Wipeout is where it performs best, winning 65.8% of games. Out of 108 rated brawlers, Pierce sits at #10 right now. Pierce is classed as a Marksman, so its kit generally leans into that role's usual strengths rather than flexing into others. Its best matchup is Shelly (79.2% win rate against), while Wendy is the pick that shuts it down hardest (44.0%). Ash is its most effective teammate. Beyond its best matchup, Pierce holds up against Nita (75.4%) and Jacky (75.3%) too. Wendy is another strong teammate for Pierce, winning 68.3% of games together. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Mission Swimpossible (50.0%) and Slip N Snipe (50.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. On Hideout specifically, Pierce climbs to 63.0%, its single strongest map in rotation.
