Sprout is currently S-tier in Gem Grab with a score of 85/100. As a Thrower, Sprout deals damage over walls and denies zones without needing line of sight, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Gem Grab.
Run Overgrowth as the default Star Power for Sprout — it works in most situations. Switch to Photosynthesis on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Garden Mulcher is the standard active pick; Transplant is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
Sprout struggles against Mortis and Edgar, who can out-trade Sprout at the ranges or map types where Sprout is most exposed. On the flip side, Sprout consistently beats Bull and El Primo.
Sprout performs best in Gem Grab (S-tier, 85/100). The Thrower kit — deals damage over walls and denies zones without needing line of sight — is directly rewarded in Gem Grab, which is why Sprout climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Sprout pairs best with Barley and Dynamike. Since Sprout deals damage over walls and denies zones without needing line of sight, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Sprout well, focus on Gem Grab where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Thrower that deals damage over walls and denies zones without needing line of sight. Run Overgrowth as the core build, track Mortis and Edgar on the enemy team, and pair with Barley and Dynamike when possible.
Sprout lobs a seed bomb in an arc that bounces on terrain and explodes on contact, dealing area damage and making corners and bounce surfaces deadly positions for enemies. His Super fires a seed that grows into a wall of hedges that block movement and sightlines, creating temporary barriers mid-map. He is one of the best map-control brawlers in Gem Grab and Bounty where hedge walls can completely block an enemy team's advance.
Sprout's seed bomb bounce means it can curve around corners and strike enemies who think they are safe behind cover. Place his hedge wall Super perpendicular to the enemy team's approach so they must walk around it and expose themselves to flanking fire from your team.
SPROUT DEEP DIVES
Mode-specific stats and the top ranked Sprout players globally. Each page shows win rate, pick rate, best maps and tier for that specific combination.
Find a wall that puts you behind cover while arcing into the enemy's path. Do not leave that cover unless your target is out of reach. Take Overgrowth in most situations, switching to Photosynthesis on maps where enemies can close distance. Your damage is free if enemies cannot reach you.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Mortis or Edgar. Both Garden Mulcher and Transplant 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

Pair Sprout with Barley or Dynamike when possible. Build toward Thorns in safe positions — it swings fights instantly, so activate it when your team has the edge, not when you are already behind.
