Charlie is currently S-tier in Gem Grab with a score of 88/100. As a Controller, Charlie denies zones and controls objective access with area abilities, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Gem Grab.
Run Digestive as the default Star Power for Charlie — it works in most situations. Switch to Slimy on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Spiders is the standard active pick; Personal Space is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
Charlie struggles against Brock and Piper, who can out-trade Charlie at the ranges or map types where Charlie is most exposed. On the flip side, Charlie consistently beats Mortis and Edgar.
Charlie performs best in Gem Grab (S-tier, 88/100). The Controller kit — denies zones and controls objective access with area abilities — is directly rewarded in Gem Grab, which is why Charlie climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Charlie pairs best with Gale and Emz. Since Charlie denies zones and controls objective access with area abilities, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Charlie well, focus on Gem Grab where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Controller that denies zones and controls objective access with area abilities. Run Digestive as the core build, track Brock and Piper on the enemy team, and pair with Gale and Emz when possible.
Charlie spins a web spider attack in front of her and uses her Super to trap a single enemy in a cocoon for several seconds, completely removing them from a fight. The Super-cocooned target is vulnerable and can be burst down by teammates before the cocoon breaks. Charlie is a premier first-pick in Ranked because she can remove the most dangerous opponent from any fight for long enough for her team to win a numbers advantage.
Use Charlie's cocoon Super on the enemy's primary carry rather than on their tank, as removing the threat permanently for several seconds is more impactful than temporarily stalling the frontliner. Coordinate with teammates to focus the cocooned target immediately before the shield breaks.

Build your Super from safe positions and deploy it on the objective approach route, not reactively. Take Digestive in most situations, switching to Slimy on maps where enemies can close distance. A Super that wins map control is worth more than one used defensively.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Brock or Piper. Both Spiders and Personal Space are in your kit — learn which one punishes your counters versus which gives you an escape window. Use your Gadget early rather than saving it for a desperate moment.
MATCHUP
