51.0% of Surge's star power picks go to Serve Ice Cold. Star powers ride along with the Super rather than working on their own, so the choice follows how the brawler uses it. To The Max trails behind at 49.0%. Power Shield is the gadget of choice at 55.0% pick rate. Unlike a star power, a gadget is triggered on its own rather than with the Super, and it can be used as often as you like once its cooldown is up. Power Surge sees the rest of the picks at 45.0%. On gear, Surge players favor SHIELD (36.2%), with DAMAGE (35.2%) close behind. Gears offer a smaller boost than a star power or gadget, so this is the fine-tuning slot of the build.

About Surge

Surge is a souped-up soda fountain, always ready to get the party started! He's got the beats, the moves, and an endless supply of energy drinks.

The most popular Surge build runs Serve Ice Cold (51.0% pick rate) with Power Shield (55.0%). Right now Surge is a D-tier pick. Its best mode is Brawl Ball 5v5, where it holds 57.6%. Surge holds the #85 spot among 106 ranked brawlers in the current meta. On the class breakdown, Surge falls in the Damage Dealer bucket alongside the rest of that role's picks. Draft Surge into Brock (54.6%) and away from Wendy (28.4%); on a team, it does its best work alongside Bolt. Beyond its best matchup, Surge holds up against Barley (54.4%) and Grom (53.9%) too. Wendy is another strong teammate for Surge, winning 65.2% of games together. Surge 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 Wendy matchup is severe enough that Surge players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Serve Ice Cold (51.0%) and To The Max (49.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. On New Perspective specifically, Surge jumps to 64.7%, its single strongest map in rotation.
