Trunk performs best in Brawl Ball (A-tier, 84/100). The Tank kit — absorbs frontline damage and creates space for teammates to push — is directly rewarded in Brawl Ball, which is why Trunk climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Trunk pairs best with Poco and Gene. Since Trunk absorbs frontline damage and creates space for teammates to push, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Trunk well, focus on Brawl Ball where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Tank that absorbs frontline damage and creates space for teammates to push. Run New Insect Overlords as the core build, track Barley and Dynamike on the enemy team, and pair with Poco and Gene when possible.
Trunk is a large elephant brawler who fires water jets and his Super enables a powerful trunk charge that deals enormous impact damage on collision. His high health and powerful charge make him a threatening frontliner who can quickly cross the map and displace enemies from objectives. He is effective in Brawl Ball and Hot Zone where his charge enables forceful objective contests.
Aim Trunk's trunk charge Super through corners and tight corridors where enemies have limited room to sidestep, as the impact is guaranteed in narrow spaces. His water jet attack is most effective at close to medium range where the spread covers a larger portion of the enemy hitbox.

Position between enemies and your team. Your value comes from soaking damage, not dealing it. Choose New Insect Overlords in most situations, switching to Colony Scouts on maps where enemies can close distance. Charge your Super passively by staying in fights and engage with it to set up teammates, not to escape.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Barley or Dynamike. Both For the Queen! and Worker Ants 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.
