Brawl Stars Draft Tool for Ranked Picks & Bans
The Ranked draft is often decided before the match starts. BrawlPick is a free Brawl Stars draft tool that follows the pick and ban phase with you: every time a brawler is banned or picked, it re-ranks what is left and tells you what to choose next, and why.
Free. No download or sign-up needed — you can start in guest mode.
What to enter, and what you get back
- Bans — up to six. Banned brawlers are removed from the suggestions.
- Your team's picks — up to three. Used for synergy and to spot a missing role.
- Enemy picks — up to three. Used to favour counters and flag risky picks.
- Map and game mode — the base of every recommendation.
In return you get a ranked shortlist of the brawlers still available, each with short reasons like "Safe early pick", "Good team synergy", "Counters enemy tanks" or "Risky into enemy comp". You can add the draft in whatever order it happens; the list updates straight away.
How the draft strategy shifts from first pick to last pick
First pick: the enemy team is unknown, so a specialist that is great in one matchup and terrible in another is a gamble. The draft helper gives extra weight to flexible brawlers that are hard to punish.
Middle picks: some enemy picks are visible. Counters start to matter, but you still need to keep your own team's roles covered.
Last pick: you see almost the whole enemy team, so countering it gets the most weight. This is where a brawler that looks average on paper can be the right choice. See the counter pick guide for how counters are judged.
Using bans well
The draft helper removes banned brawlers, but choosing the bans is up to you. Two practical approaches: ban what is performing best on the current map (the map win rates are a useful reference), or ban the brawler that counters the plan your team is going for. Coordinate with teammates so you don't spend two bans on the same threat. More on this in the Ranked guide.
For a mode as a whole, the pages for Gem Grab, Brawl Ball, Heist, Hot Zone, Knockout and Bounty show which brawlers win most often across all of that mode's maps, Ranked and regular battles combined.
Tailored to your collection
Add the brawlers you own, or import them from your player tag, and the draft helper only suggests brawlers you can lock in — at Power 9 or higher, Ranked's own requirement. Power level is used for that check only; it never boosts a brawler's score.
Draft helper questions
What should I choose in a Ranked draft if I pick first?
A flexible brawler that suits the map and doesn't have obvious hard counters left in the pool. Save specialists and counters for later picks, when you can see what they'd be answering.
Does it simulate the enemy's picks?
No. BrawlPick is a draft tool for a real draft you are playing: you enter what actually got banned and picked, and it recommends your next choice. It doesn't predict or simulate the other team.
How are the recommendations calculated?
From map and mode fit, counters, synergy, role balance and, where enough battles have been observed, measured win rates. The details are on how BrawlPick works.
