Love Is Blind is Willow's most-picked star power at 52.0%. A star power comes into play with the Super, which you charge up by landing attacks and then fire when you choose. Obsession is the alternative at 48.0%. 55.0% of Willow players equip Spellbound. 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, Dive, sits at 45.0%. For gear, SHIELD is the top pick at 40.2%, with DAMAGE (39.7%) 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.

About Willow

Willow works as a gondoliera in the Swamp of Love. She gives couples in search of a romantic evening the creepiest, most unsettling time they could imagine.

Most players build Willow around Love Is Blind and Spellbound, picked in 52.0% and 55.0% of games respectively. Willow grades out at B-tier this season, peaking in Brawl Hockey (60.1% win rate). Out of 106 rated brawlers, Willow sits at #49 right now. Willow is classed as a Controller, so its kit generally leans into that role's usual strengths rather than flexing into others. The matchup spread runs from 71.2% against Shelly down to 28.2% into Wendy. 8-Bit is the strongest recorded pairing. Beyond its best matchup, Willow holds up against Nita (69.4%) and Rico (63.5%) too. Wendy is a solid secondary pairing for Willow too, at 68.2% together. The Wendy matchup is severe enough that Willow players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Love Is Blind (52.0%) and Obsession (48.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. Willow 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 Brawlerverse specifically, Willow jumps to 59.9%, its single strongest map in rotation.
