Best star power for Starr Nova

55.0% of Starr Nova's star power picks go to Mystical Starr Technique. A brawler owns two star powers but fights with one, so the slot is a standing choice about how Starr Nova plays rather than something you activate. Power Level Maximum trails behind at 45.0%.

Best gadget for Starr Nova

Floaty Time is the gadget of choice at 56.0% 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. Shining Starr Of Friendship And Justice sees the rest of the picks at 44.0%.

Best gears for Starr Nova

DAMAGE leads the gear slot at 39.4%, with SHIELD (37.0%) 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 Starr Nova 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.
