Counter picks

Brawl Stars Counter Pick Finder

One of the quickest ways to swing a match is to answer what the other team picked. In a Ranked draft, BrawlPick lets you enter the enemy brawlers and recommends brawlers that match up well against them — while still fitting your map and your own team.

Brawl Stars counter list: measured counters by brawler

How to counter brawlers in general

Most counters come down to a few matchup patterns between types of brawlers. These are general tendencies, not guarantees — skill, map and the rest of both teams matter too:

  • Tanks want to get close. High sustained damage and brawlers that can slow or push them back make that hard.
  • Throwers attack over walls but are fragile up close. Mobile brawlers, assassins and wall-breakers that can reach or expose them are the usual answer.
  • Assassins punish isolated targets. Control, crowd control and brawlers that deal heavy damage at close range make diving expensive.
  • Long-range damage dominates open maps but struggles on maps with lots of cover, where brawlers that can close distance or break walls get the upper hand.

Counters that still fit your match

A counter only helps if it also works on the map and with your team. A perfect answer to the enemy tank is still a bad choice if it leaves your team with no way to hold the objective. BrawlPick weighs counters together with map and mode fit, synergy and role balance, and flags picks that are "Risky into enemy comp" as well as ones that are a "Strong counter pick".

When counters matter most

Counter picking is most valuable late in a draft, when you can see what you are answering. BrawlPick gives counters more weight the more enemy picks you have entered, and favours flexible, hard-to-punish brawlers when you have to pick blind. For the full pick-and-ban flow, see the draft helper.

What BrawlPick’s counters are based on

Counter suggestions in the picker come from BrawlPick's matchup model: each brawler's class and traits (range, mobility, durability, damage profile) plus a curated list of specific matchups. They are not measured head-to-head win rates, and BrawlPick doesn't present them as such. Measured data is shown separately: win rates per map on the map statistics page, and measured head-to-head results on the counter pages listed above. See how BrawlPick works for how the two are combined.

Counter pick questions

How do I counter the enemy team's picks in BrawlPick?

Start a Ranked session, choose the mode and map, and add the enemy brawlers under "Enemy Team". The recommendations re-rank immediately. Counter picking uses the draft screen, so it is available in Ranked sessions; Trophy sessions recommend from the map and mode only.

Which brawler counters a specific brawler, like Edgar or Mortis?

It depends on the map and on the rest of the enemy team. For brawlers with enough recent head-to-head games, BrawlPick publishes measured counters — see Edgar counters and Mortis counters. Those are observed win rates in recent battles, not guarantees. To answer them in your own draft, enter them as enemy picks and BrawlPick recommends from your brawlers on your map.

Should I always counter pick?

No. If you have to pick before most of the enemy team is visible, a flexible pick is usually safer than guessing at a counter.
