Strongest observed brawlers on Hot Potato

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 Hot Potato, then choose based on 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.
About this data
- Source:
- battle logs from the official Brawl Stars API, collected by BrawlPick. Not copied from another site.
- Players:
- seeded from BrawlPick users, public leaderboards and top clubs, then widened to the players they met. Likely skewed toward more active, higher-skill players; not a random sample.
- Battles:
- every 3v3 battle with a win or loss on the map (Ranked and regular matches), each counted once even if seen through several players. Mostly from the few days before the update date.
- Win rate:
- share of a brawler's appearances where its team won. Both teams are counted, so the average is about 50%. "Games" is the number of appearances.
- Small samples:
- brawlers with fewer than 30 games on a map are left out; the 95% range shows the remaining uncertainty.
- Game version:
- not recorded per battle. If a balance update landed after the update date, these numbers predate it.
