The best Star Power for Frank is 100% Power Grab. Indeed, when you play aggressive, you’ll get kills pretty easily, and the 12 seconds duration for the damage increase is pretty insane. If you play well, you can almost have the 25% damage increase the entire game. In terms of Gadgets, the Active Noise Canceling one is the safest to pick, especially when playing in ladder. It enables you to use Super and Hypercharge easily without getting countered too much by Brawlers with knockback effects. As a tank, you must always pick the Health gear to recover faster. The Damage gear is a solid option as a second gear, especially against tanks.

Other build
The Sponge Star Power isn’t bad but remains weaker than the other one. Still, having 1340 more HP can save you in some cases. The Irresistible Attraction Gadget is an excellent gadget. You can surprise enemies by dealing twice more damage, and stop enemies abilities with the knocking back effect. You should use it in Ranked when facing Brawlers that can’t cancel your Super. In some bushy maps, you might want to change the Damage gear for the Speed one, because you can rush enemies easily.

Frank’s next attack deals an extra 50% damage and pulls opponents towards him.

Frank Brawl Stars Guide
attack
Frank hits a large area in front of him with his hammer, dealing 2320 damage to any enemy in this area. There’s a small delay before each attack, but this delay reduces when Frank’s health goes down. When you’re below 4000 HP, you can attack 3 times in just a second, which is extremely strong.
Super
Frank’s Super is like his main attack, except the fact that his range is longer and that it stuns enemies for a few seconds. At maximum health, if you hit 1 enemy with your Super, you’ll be able to hit him twice when he’ll be stunned, but will be able to escape your next Super. However, if you hit 2 enemies or more with one Super, you’ll be able to cycle Supers on them, as long as they’re alive.
Traits
Frank charges his Super when he receives damage, like other tanks. This trait might be useful sometimes, because you are able to charge your Super with only two hits instead of three if you willing to take some damage. This technique is very useful in general when facing tank counters.
Seismic Smash
Frank’s Super now hits in a circle instead of just in front of him. Enemies will struggle to escape it, especially with the speed boost, and you’re able to destroy many walls with only one Super. Frank also receives a 26% speed boost, a 5% damage boost and a 25% shield.
Active Noise Canceling
For the next 2 seconds, Frank can’t be affected by slows, stuns or knockbacks. This Gadget is very useful when facing Brawlers that have these abilities. They’ll wait for your Super, expecting to be able to cancel it, and will be surprised by your Gadget. You have to time it right, right before activating your Super. If not, enemies could be able to cancel your Super anyway with the right timing.
Irresistible Attraction
Your next attack deals 50% more damage than the usual one (3720 instead of 2480), and attracts enemies to you. It also cancels any enemy abilities (Buzz’s Super, Bibi’s attack, another Frank’s Super, etc.). When you’re low HP, it becomes difficult for your enemies to escape you, so this Gadget can be useful to finish enemies who get too close to you, thinking you’re about to die.
Power Grab
Every time you kill an enemy Brawler, your damage is increased by 25% for the next 12 seconds. If you kill another enemy before the 12 seconds end, it will just last 12 seconds more, beginning with the death of the last enemy. When this damage buff is activated, Frank is enraged, and his skin is redder than usual, so everyone can see when the 12 seconds ends. Play aggressive as long as you have this damage increase; you can kill most Brawlers in only two hits.
Sponge
Frank now has 1340 more HP, for a total of 14740. This Star Power enables Frank to have way more HP than anyone, that can be useful, especially when facing low DPS Brawlers.
Frank Brawl Stars Pro tips
Take some damage to increase your attack speed
Frank is not really strong at maximum health because of the delay of his attacks. If you want to hit easily and deal more damage, be willing to lose 50% of your health. This technique is very powerful in Heist, especially combined with the Damage gear.
Score a goal with your Super
When you or your teammate are close from the enemy goal, and you have your Super, you can activate it and cover the area in front of the enemy goal while your teammate will shoot the ball. Enemies that try to catch the ball will be stunned and it’s a free goal ! It works even better when the walls are still on the field.
