Current meta status
Bull sits in B tier in the current meta (2026-07 Balance Update) with a blind-pick safety of 5/10. See the full tier list for the surrounding context.
Best build
Gadget: T-Bone Injector — Instant heal mid-charge: you survive the trade you'd normally just lose.
Star Power: Berserker — Below half HP you reload twice as fast, exactly when you're in danger.
Gears: Health + Shield — Bull has to absorb damage to get in; effective HP is his scaling stat.
Push through bush, only charge once you're sure you'll reach kill range.

Strengths
As a tank, Bull is favoured into assassin, thrower, controller.
- With your super-charge through walls you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage.
- With your super-charge through walls you focus Bo: controllers have low burst and go down fast under focus.
- With your super-charge through walls you focus Lou: controllers have low burst and go down fast under focus.
- With your super-charge through walls you focus Jessie: Jessie relies on her turret and is weak herself.
Weaknesses
Bull struggles against marksman, sharpshooter, support and on maps that do not support the tank role.

Draft advice
Bull is a reasonable middle pick — check which counters are still open before locking it.
Works well alongside Poco, Gus.
Learn the pick-order logic in the drafting guide.
When not to pick
Skip Bull when the map layout works against the tank role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
