Robo Retreat is Rico's most-picked star power at 53.0%. A star power comes into play with the Super, which you charge up by landing attacks and then fire when you choose. Super Bouncy trails behind at 47.0%. For gear, SHIELD is the top pick at 37.5%, with DAMAGE (34.6%) 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 Rico

Rico is definitely a real space bounty hunter who tracks down the galaxy's most wanted criminals, not a gumball machine pretending to be cool.

The data puts Rico at D-tier, strongest in Tag Team at 61.1%. Rico currently ranks #87 out of 106 rated brawlers in the overall meta. On the class breakdown, Rico falls in the Damage Dealer bucket alongside the rest of that role's picks. Draft Rico into Eve (55.0%) and away from Gus (24.3%); on a team, it does its best work alongside Bo. Beyond its best matchup, Rico holds up against Brock (53.4%) and Mr. P (53.3%) too. Gus is a solid secondary pairing for Rico too, at 70.5% together. Rico is currently one of the weaker picks in the roster; it can still work on the right map, but it's fighting the meta. The Gus matchup is severe enough that Rico players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Robo Retreat (53.0%) and Super Bouncy (47.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. On Crimson Divide specifically, Rico jumps to 58.7%, its single strongest map in rotation.
