33.1% Pick

54.0% of Ruffs's star power picks go to Field Promotion. Star powers ride along with the Super rather than working on their own, so the choice follows how the brawler uses it. The other option, Air Superiority, sits at 46.0%. The most common gadget is Take Cover at 54.0%. 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. Air Support is the alternative at 46.0%. For gear, SHIELD is the top pick at 40.7%, with DAMAGE (33.1%) 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 Ruffs

Ruffs is a loyal, highly disciplined space colonel who runs a tight ship and does everything by the book. But deep down, he just wants to be a good boy!

The most popular Ruffs build runs Field Promotion (54.0% pick rate) with Take Cover (54.0%). The data puts Ruffs at B-tier, strongest in Brawl Ball at 59.8%. Ruffs currently ranks #40 out of 106 rated brawlers in the overall meta. On the class breakdown, Ruffs falls in the Support bucket alongside the rest of that role's picks. Draft Ruffs into Shelly (73.6%) and away from Wendy (31.6%); on a team, it does its best work alongside Wendy. Beyond its best matchup, Ruffs holds up against Nita (70.1%) and Colt (66.4%) too. Ash is a solid secondary pairing for Ruffs too, at 63.4% together. The Wendy matchup is severe enough that Ruffs players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Field Promotion (54.0%) and Air Superiority (46.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. Ruffs is a rare sight at 0.2% use rate, win rates on low-sample brawlers move around more, so read its numbers with that in mind. On Brawlerverse specifically, Ruffs jumps to 69.0%, its single strongest map in rotation.
