Maps to avoid with Crow

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

How to read these numbers

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

Blind-pick safety is coaching metadata, not a meta ranking: it says how risky Crow is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Crow scores 5/10.

Best build

Gadget: Defense Booster — Damage reduction exactly when you get focused after a dive.

Star Power: Carrion Crow — Extra damage on low-HP targets makes you the best finisher in the game.

Gears: Damage + Gadget Charge — Poke plus poison scales with damage.

Poke from above, only dive in once the target is already below half HP.

Strengths

As a assassin, Crow is favoured into marksman, sharpshooter, thrower, artillery, support.

  • With your poison that counters his healing you focus Gene: Gene has low HP and a slow attack.
  • With your poison that counters his healing you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage.
  • With your poison that counters his healing you focus Poco: Poco can barely defend himself.
  • With your poison that counters his healing you focus Pam: Pam lacks mobility and her damage falls off at range.

Weaknesses

Crow struggles against tank, controller, fighter and on maps that do not support the assassin role.
