Stat Impact

What Headshot Booster actually gives you

Headshot Booster delivers 30 bonus health and 9s cooldown. These bonuses determine which heroes and builds below actually benefit from the slot, and why the win rates on certain heroes skew so far above or below the item's average.

Best Heroes

Who wins most with Headshot Booster

Headshot Booster performs strongest on Seven (52.6% WR across 5,042 games), Ivy (52.5% WR across 88,314 games), and Dynamo (51.4% WR across 254,705 games). These heroes convert the item's stat bonuses into real win rate gains, usually because their kit scales linearly with the stats the item provides. If you play one of these heroes, this item belongs in your core build.

Most Picked By

Who buys Headshot Booster the most

In terms of raw pickup volume, Headshot Booster shows up most on Lash (377,064 games), Dynamo (254,705 games), and Paradox (247,791 games). High pickup does not always mean high performance, so cross reference this list with the best heroes card above before blindly copying a build.

Build Context

Headshot Booster build path

Headshot Booster is a base tier purchase with no prerequisites, so you can buy it directly from the shop without stacking components first. Headshot Booster upgrades into Headhunter, so picking it early sets up a direct path into a late game power spike instead of locking in a dead end purchase.

Meta Trend

Headshot Booster sits at a 49.0% win rate and has barely moved over the last few weeks, which means the item is at its steady state pick rate in the current patch.

Rank Performance

Headshot Booster across the rank ladder
