Counted from Ranked matches of top players over the last 21 days, last updated 2026-11-15. Matches played before the latest balance change count for less.

Players take Bo into Gem Grab most often: 39% of its matches are played there, where it wins 53% (686 matches, reliable). Bo wins far more often than it loses in Heist: 57% over 114 matches (fairly reliable), 6 points above its overall win rate. Bo loses far more often than it wins in Knockout: 40% over 75 matches (early signal), 12 points below its overall win rate.

Bo's strongest measured map is Ring of Fire (Hot Zone): 56% over 279 matches (reliable). Its weakest is Dueling Beetles (Hot Zone): 46% over 204 matches (reliable). 11 maps have at least 30 Bo matches; maps with fewer are left out.

On these maps Bo 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 Bo is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Bo scores 7/10.

Gadget: Super Totem — Charges supers for your whole team: huge value on objective maps.

Star Power: Circling Eagle — Extra vision in bush makes you nearly indispensable on bush-heavy maps.

Gears: Gadget Charge + Damage — Your totem and mines are the reason you get picked.

Place mines on the gates and keep vision on the bush.

As a controller, Bo is favoured into assassin, fighter, tank.

• With your mines that seal off his approach you focus Shelly: fighters lose once you keep them outside their effective range.
• With your mines that seal off his approach you focus Nita: Nita is vulnerable without her bear.
• With your mines that seal off his approach you focus Rosa: Rosa does little damage outside her shield.
• With your mines that seal off his approach you focus Carl: fighters lose once you keep them outside their effective range.

Bo struggles against marksman, thrower and on maps that do not support the controller role.

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

• Gem Grab — fit 7/10
• Bounty — fit 7/10
• Knockout — fit 7/10

Map fit from the coaching model, next to the measured best maps above. When the two disagree, trust the one with more matches behind it.

Bo is safe enough to pick early: few open Brawlers punish this pick hard.

Works well alongside Piper.

Learn the pick-order logic in the drafting guide.

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