Best star power for Stu

51.0% of Stu's star power picks go to Gaso-Heal. A brawler owns two star powers but fights with one, so the slot is a standing choice about how Stu plays rather than something you activate. The other option, Zero Drag, sits at 49.0%.

Best gadget for Stu

59.0% of Stu players equip Speed Zone. A gadget has no cap on uses in a match, just a cooldown between them, so the choice comes down to which effect is worth reaching for again and again. The other option, Breakthrough, sits at 41.0%.

Best gears for Stu

SHIELD leads the gear slot at 38.0%, with DAMAGE (35.0%) 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 Stu 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 Stu

A little punch-drunk from too many bumps, bruises, and gasoline fumes over his long stunt performing career, Stu is a bit wobbly on his wheel these days.

For gear and gadget choices, the field has settled on Gaso-Heal (51.0%) and Speed Zone (59.0%) as Stu's default build. In the current meta Stu rates B-tier; Hot Zone is where it performs best, winning 58.2% of games. Stu holds the #34 spot among 108 ranked brawlers in the current meta. On the class breakdown, Stu falls in the Assassin bucket alongside the rest of that role's picks. Against Shelly, Stu wins 76.0% of games, its most favorable matchup. Amber is the counter to respect (38.1%), and Ash the teammate that lifts it most. Beyond its best matchup, Stu holds up against Nita (72.3%) and Edgar (68.9%) too. On a team, Stu also pairs well with Amber (64.8% together). The star power choice is genuinely contested, Gaso-Heal (51.0%) and Zero Drag (49.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode.
