Rico
Best build
Rico’s Best Build is undoubtedly the Super Bouncy Star Power and the Multiball Launcher Gadget. With the Super Bouncy Star Power, Rico can maximize the effectiveness of his bouncing bullets ability, making it exceedingly difficult for enemies to approach him, as he can now inflict substantial damage while remaining safely behind walls. The Multiball Launcher is the ideal Gadget, enhancing his defense against nearby adversaries. With this Gadget, there’s no need to fear short-range Brawlers, as you’ll easily overpower them. As for Gear selection, prioritize Reload Speed first, followed by the Damage Gear. With this set of Gear, Rico becomes an even more formidable damage dealer, capable of delivering devastating blows!

Other build
Other builds can be used for Rico, depending on how you like to play him. The Robot Retreat Star Power can be utilized on more open maps (although Rico isn’t commonly seen on clear maps), as it provides significant movement speed, allowing you to easily evade enemy shots. The Bouncy Castle Gadget can be intriguing if you’re certain there are no assassins on the opposing team. With this Gadget, you’ll have the ability to heal all your health, enabling a quicker return to battle. Finally, you can opt for the Vision Gear instead of the Damage Gear on specific bushy maps if you wish to have more control over the central bushes.

Brawl Stars Guide
attack
Rico shoots 5 balls that can bounce when it hits a wall and deal 640 Damage each. Rico’s bullet can bounce on walls so that you can hit enemies that are not in your direct range and that is why Rico is a very strong Brawler. Because of this, you can hit enemies while they can’t touch you because you are hiding behind a wall. If you play well, your opponents while have so much difficulties to take you down because it will be very hard for them to hit you.
Super
With his Super, Rico shoots 12 bullets that deals 720 Damage each. The bullets of his Super can travel further and with the bounces it will take so much place on the map ! Don’t forget that the bullet of Rico’s Super can pierce through enemies, so will be able to hit several enemies, or one enemy multiple times.
Trick Shot King
Rico’s Super projectiles bounce even further! He also gains +26% SPEED, +25% DAMAGE and +5% SHIELD.
Multiball Launcher
Rico blasts 2 waves of bouncy bullets in all directions that deal 768 damage each. At very close range, one wave of bullets can deal up to 6144 damage and that is why this Gadget is very strong. When an enemy is rushing into you, use this Gadget and you will destroy him !
Bouncy Castle
With this Gadget, Rico can heal up for 256 health from each projectile bounce. Use this Gadget when you are sure you will hit at least 3 walls if you want to get the maximum value from it. If you use it when you are between two walls, your attack will hit each wall several time and you will have all your life back !
Super Bouncy
Rico’s bullets now inflict +256 damage after the first bounce. With this Star Power, make sure to always shoot to your opponent by hitting walls in order to deal more damage. By doing so, you will deal insane damage and your opponents won’t be able to come and get you. If you play in Heist, don’t forget to hit walls with your attack before hitting the Safe !
Robot Retreat
This Star Power gives Rico +34% movement speed increase when he has less than 40% health. With the movement speed buff, it is now more difficult to finish him because it becomes very hard to target him.
