Penny is currently A-tier in Heist with a score of 80/100. As an Artillery, Penny fires long-range indirect attacks that pressure enemies from safety, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Heist.
Run Heavy Coffers as the default Star Power for Penny — it works in most situations. Switch to Master Blaster on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Salty Barrel is the standard active pick; Trusty Spyglass is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
Penny struggles against Leon and Mortis, who can out-trade Penny at the ranges or map types where Penny is most exposed. On the flip side, Penny consistently beats Bull and Rosa.
Penny performs best in Heist (A-tier, 80/100). The Artillery kit — fires long-range indirect attacks that pressure enemies from safety — is directly rewarded in Heist, which is why Penny climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Penny pairs best with Brock and Nani. Since Penny fires long-range indirect attacks that pressure enemies from safety, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Penny well, focus on Heist where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Artillery that fires long-range indirect attacks that pressure enemies from safety. Run Heavy Coffers as the core build, track Leon and Mortis on the enemy team, and pair with Brock and Nani when possible.
Penny fires a gold coin that bounces and hits brawlers standing behind her initial target, making grouped enemies extremely dangerous to face off against her. Her Super summons a mortar cannon that lobs shells unpredictably over walls, providing persistent zone control even when Penny herself is out of position. She is strongest in Heist where her mortar constantly pressures the safe without her needing direct line of sight.
Penny's bouncing attack deals its highest total damage when the primary target has a second brawler lined up directly behind them. Position her mortar Super behind walls on the flank to create a two-angle pressure that forces enemies into the open.

Set up at maximum mortar range and punish enemy clustering. Do not let assassins reach you. Take Heavy Coffers in most situations, switching to Master Blaster on maps where enemies can close distance. Your Gadget is your last resort if the frontline collapses.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Leon or Mortis. Both Salty Barrel and Trusty Spyglass 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
Best Team Shape
Pair Penny with Brock or Nani when possible. Build toward New Lobber in safe positions — it swings fights instantly, so activate it when your team has the edge, not when you are already behind.
