Brawl Stars Ranked tier list

Every Ranked brawler sorted by overall strength in the current meta (2026-07 Balance Update, updated 2026-08-06). Higher up the list within a tier means a safer blind pick.

How to actually use a tier list

A tier list is a starting point, not a draft plan. Ranked is won per map and per matchup: an A-tier marksman is a bad idea on a walled Heist map, and a C-tier tank can be the correct answer to an enemy assassin. Treat the tiers as "who is worth learning" and let the map decide the pick.

Once you know which brawlers you want to play, check the recommended builds for the right gadget, star power and gears, and read the counters guide to learn which matchups you can force.

Put it into practice: scan your next draft and get the pick in seconds.
