Best star power for Trunk

Colony Scouts is Trunk's most-picked star power at 54.0%. A star power is passive: once it is equipped it works on its own all match, with no button to press. New Insect Overlords is the alternative at 46.0%.

Best gadget for Trunk

53.0% of Trunk players equip Worker Ants. 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. For The Queen sees the rest of the picks at 47.0%.

Best gears for Trunk

For gear, DAMAGE is the top pick at 32.0%, with SHIELD (31.5%) 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.

What players who own Trunk 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 Trunk

Trunk is a suspiciously uncanny-looking tree. It couldn't be because Trunk is actually a colony of hyper-intelligent ants controlling a fake mechanical tree? No, that would be ridiculous.

For gear and gadget choices, the field has settled on Colony Scouts (54.0%) and Worker Ants (53.0%) as Trunk's default build. In the current meta Trunk rates A-tier; Hot Zone is where it performs best, winning 67.5% of games. Trunk holds the #9 spot among 108 ranked brawlers in the current meta. On the class breakdown, Trunk falls in the Tank bucket alongside the rest of that role's picks. Against Nita, Trunk wins 80.4% of games, its most favorable matchup. Cosmo is the counter to respect (42.0%), and Shelly the teammate that lifts it most. Trunk also performs well against Shelly (79.6%) and Jacky (76.1%). Cosmo is another strong teammate for Trunk, winning 72.9% of games together. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Colony Scouts (54.0%) and New Insect Overlords (46.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. Trunk is a rare sight at 0.5% use rate, win rates on low-sample brawlers move around more, so read its numbers with that in mind. On Nullscapes specifically, Trunk jumps to 67.6%, its single strongest map in rotation.
