What is the best brawler for Hot Zone in Brawl Stars?

Amber ranks highest in Hot Zone, with an adjusted win rate of 60.4% across 3,831 decided Ranked battles over the last 7d. Wendy and Juju follow.

How is this tier list made?

From 213,336 Hot Zone in competitive only sampled from real matches, not from votes or opinion. Win rate is adjusted against the average of the same sample, because the sampled pool wins more than half its games regardless of brawler — so a tier reflects the brawler rather than who was holding it. A brawler needs 20 decided battles in the window before it is rated at all.

How often is the tier list updated?

The sampler collects new battles every few hours and this page is rebuilt from the latest aggregate, so it never trails the data by more than a few hours.

How the meta score works

Meta score combines adjusted win rate and pick rate, relative to this Ranked list.

How brawlers perform in competitive Ranked, where matchmaking pairs comparable opponents. So what is left reflects the brawler rather than who was holding it. Brawlers are ranked by meta score out of 10, which combines an adjusted win rate with a log-scaled pick rate. Win rate alone would rate a brawler nobody plays the same as a staple with identical results, so popularity breaks the ties.

Ranked is 3v3 modes only and a small slice of what gets sampled, so the list is shorter and moves faster than the ladder one.

The scale is calibrated within this list, so scores rank brawlers against each other here and cannot be compared with the trophy list. A brawler needs 20 decided battles in the window before it is rated at all.

Most picked brawlers

The brawlers appearing in the most sampled Ranked battles in Hot Zone over the 7d window. This is popularity, not strength — the tiers above rank how well a brawler performs, and the two disagree often. A pick rate is a share of all battles sampled, so it sums across the roster rather than to 100% per battle.

Strong but rarely picked

Brawlers with the best adjusted win rates among the less-played half of the roster, from sampled Ranked battles in Hot Zone over the 7d window. They win when they are used and are not used much — which usually means they are underrated rather than bad.

Not enough Ranked data

Competitive Ranked is a small slice of what gets sampled, so plenty of brawlers that see regular ladder play still have too few Ranked battles to rank. Each needs 20 decided battles in the 7d window; the count below is how far along it is. Closest first.

Meta movers

Change in meta score. The same 0–10 scale the tiers above use, measured on the stored daily snapshots, so a mover is a brawler visibly climbing or sliding the Ranked meta. Measured over the last 7 days, comparing the 2026-10-06 and 2026-10-13 snapshots. Both sides clear the same sample floor as the tier list, and snapshots computed under different methodologies are never compared. Across all modes. The daily snapshots this compares are not split by mode, so the filter above does not apply here.
