Best star power for Sprout

51.0% of Sprout's star power picks go to Photosynthesis. A brawler owns two star powers but fights with one, so the slot is a standing choice about how Sprout plays rather than something you activate. Overgrowth trails behind at 49.0%.

Best gadget for Sprout

Garden Mulcher is the gadget of choice at 54.0% pick rate. A gadget is the part of the loadout you press: unlike the passive star power, it fires on demand and can be used as often as you like once its cooldown is up. The other option, Transplant, sits at 46.0%.

Best gears for Sprout

SHIELD leads the gear slot at 33.0%, with SUPER CHARGE (27.4%) 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 Sprout 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 Sprout

Sprout appears to be a cute gardening robot who helps Rosa around the Biodome, but it's actually an incubator with arms and wheels for a strange pink seed!

For gear and gadget choices, the field has settled on Photosynthesis (51.0%) and Garden Mulcher (54.0%) as Sprout's default build. Right now Sprout is a B-tier pick. Its best mode is Bounty, where it holds 60.7%. Sprout holds the #41 spot among 108 ranked brawlers in the current meta. As an Artillery, Sprout is usually drafted to fill that role rather than as a flexible pick outside it. Sprout preys on Shelly, winning 77.5% of those encounters, but struggles into Vince at just 36.9%. It pairs best with Vince. Sprout also performs well against Nita (75.8%) and Jacky (71.3%). On a team, Sprout also pairs well with Cosmo (67.4% together). The star power choice is genuinely contested, Photosynthesis (51.0%) and Overgrowth (49.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. Sprout is a rare sight at 0.3% use rate, win rates on low-sample brawlers move around more, so read its numbers with that in mind. On Photic Doom specifically, Sprout climbs to 56.8%, its single strongest map in rotation.
