Waluigi is a playable character in Mario Strikers: Battle League with high base stats in Speed, Strength, and Technique. His highest attribute is a Speed of 16, which is the stat that determines the running speed and agility of a character. He also possesses 15 points in Strength, the trait that dictates the power behind a character's tackle, including one's resistance to being tackled. Finally, Waluigi's third-highest base stat in Mario Strikers: Battle League is 14 points in Technique, which affects shot accuracy, curve, dribbling capability, and the difficulty regarding Hyper Strike timing.

With Strength and Speed as his highest attributes, Waluigi best serves as a team's primary defense in Mario Strikers: Battle League. He can steal the ball away from opponents with relative ease and also firmly hold the ball, thanks to his Strength. In addition, his high Speed grants him quick access across the field, making him an excellent choice for defending against a rival's offensive strategies. However, true to his lore-based nature, Waluigi can be quite selfish with the ball since his Passing is only 9, with a Shooting of merely 9 as well. Therefore, players should prioritize Waluigi's defensive utility when making an optimal build for him.

As a supportive defender in a team, Waluigi is not best utilized as the primary scorer or playmaker in a comp. Instead, soccer fans of Mario Strikers: Battle League are recommended to boost his Speed to make the ultimate nimble defender, a role that can rush across the field in seconds to stop the opposing team from scoring a goal. Accordingly, the best build for this role would consist of the Turbo Helmet, Turbo Gloves, Turbo Pad, and Bushido Sandals. Keep in mind that the Bushido Set is only available for purchase after Normal Mode for Cup Battles has been completed.
