Donkey Kong Best Gear Builds

Defensive Playmaker Gear Set

Recommended Position
Head	Hands	Body	Legs
Bushido Helmet	Chain Gauntlets	Bushido Armor	Muscle Boots

By increasing Donkey Kong's Strength and Passing, which are his highest stats, he becomes a buffed defender that can handle the ball without getting downed or stunned and make good passes to his teammates behind the center line.

Take note that he will lose a lot of Speed with this set, so defending against speedsters will make it hard for him. You can select this gear set if you have teammates that can cover your weakness.

Stat Changes

High Strength Shooter Gear Set

Recommended Position
Head	Hands	Body	Legs
Cannon Visor	Cannon Gloves	Bushido Armor	Cannon Boots

Equipping this gear set can put Donkey Kong into either wing position, allowing for midfield defense and an extra scoring option. This gear set confines Donkey Kong to his low base Speed so it is recommended to have teammates that can cover this weakness.

Stat Changes

Balanced-Defender Gear Set

Recommended Position
Head	Hands	Body	Legs
Trick Helmet	Turbo Gloves	Turbo Pad	Cannon Boots

This gear set focuses on distributing other stats to increase Donkey Kong's Speed to get it closer to his Strength and Passing stats. It is a great set against different attackers, as he will be able to defend well if his speed is even with those two stats.
