Strongest observed brawlers on Crystal Arcade

Ordered by the low end of each brawler's 95% range, not by raw win rate, so a high number from a small sample doesn't simply jump to the top. The range shows how far the true win rate could plausibly be from the observed one. The reliable picks named above — the same as on this map's card — have 150+ games and a range entirely above 50%.

Crystal Arcade tier list from win rates

A data-based tier list from the same games as the tables on this page, not an official or community list. Each tier compares one brawler's 95% range on Crystal Arcade with a 50% win rate; B does not mean average, only that the range still includes 50%. A tier needs 150+ games on this map. For the whole mode, see the Gem Grab tier list.

What the data says about Crystal Arcade

Classes are the official in-game classes. These are descriptions of the observed games, not causes.

Promising, but not enough games yet

These brawlers won often on Crystal Arcade but appear in fewer than 150 observed games, so their win rate is much less certain.

Lowest observed win rates

Brawlers whose win rate on Crystal Arcade was clearly below 50% in this sample, even allowing for its size. This can reflect the map, the drafts they were picked into, or who played them — not necessarily that the brawler can't work here.

How to use these numbers

These are observed results, not a prediction. A win rate also reflects who played the brawler and the drafts it was picked into: a brawler that is usually chosen as a counter will look stronger than it would as a blind first pick.

Use the table to shortlist brawlers for Crystal Arcade, then decide from your draft: what was banned, what your team needs and what the enemy picked. That last step is what the BrawlPick picker does for you — it weighs these numbers together with counters, synergy and role balance, so its recommendation is not simply this table sorted by win rate.

For the roles a Gem Grab team usually needs, see the Gem Grab strategy on the mode page.
