Players take Ash into Gem Grab most often: 36% of its matches are played there, where it wins 52% (1,175 matches, reliable). Ash wins far more often than it loses in Bounty: 59% over 94 matches (fairly reliable), 6 points above its overall win rate. Ash loses far more often than it wins in Knockout: 33% over 45 matches (early signal), 19 points below its overall win rate.

Ash's strongest measured map is Dueling Beetles (Hot Zone): 59% over 106 matches (fairly reliable). Its weakest is Gem Fort (Gem Grab): 45% over 292 matches (reliable). 17 maps have at least 30 Ash matches; maps with fewer are left out.

On these maps Ash loses more often than it wins. The match count tells you how much weight to give each one.

A win rate only means something when enough matches sit behind it. Next to every number we say how sure we are:

• reliable — 200 matches or more: a solid basis for a verdict.
• fairly reliable — 80 to 199 matches: enough to spot a real pattern.
• early signal — 30 to 79 matches: a hint, not a verdict.
• too few matches — fewer than 30 matches, so we do not show a win rate yet.

A 60% win rate over 40 matches can easily be luck; a 54% win rate over 800 matches is a real edge. Maps and modes with fewer than 30 matches are listed without a win rate on purpose.

Blind-pick safety is coaching metadata, not a meta ranking: it says how risky Ash is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Ash scores 4/10.

Gadget: Chill Pill — Instant heal plus rage: turns a losing trade around.

Star Power: Mad as Heck — Your rage meter fills faster, so you fight at full speed sooner.

Gears: Health + Damage — Ash is a tank who needs to stay in the fight for a long time.

Build rage by taking damage, then push through.

As a tank, Ash is favoured into assassin, thrower, controller.

• With your rage stacks in the close fight you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage.
• With your rage stacks in the close fight you focus Bo: controllers have low burst and go down fast under focus.
• With your rage stacks in the close fight you focus Lou: controllers have low burst and go down fast under focus.
• With your rage stacks in the close fight you focus Jessie: Jessie relies on her turret and is weak herself.

Ash struggles against marksman, sharpshooter, support and on maps that do not support the tank role.

This is the coaches' view of which modes suit the tank role of Ash; the measured win rates per mode are higher up on this page.

Ash is a late-pick Brawler. Picking it blind invites a hard counter; take it once the enemy draft is visible.

Learn the pick-order logic in the drafting guide.

Skip Ash when the map layout works against the tank role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
