No single map has 30 or more Damian matches yet, so we do not rank its maps.

No map where Damian wins more than it loses has 30 or more matches yet.

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 Damian is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Damian scores 5/10.

Gadget: The gadget that gives you burst or mobility — Fighters win mid-range trades; the timing of your gadget decides those.

Star Power: The star power that increases your damage or sustain — You spend the whole fight in range, so sustained value outweighs burst.

Gears: Damage + Health — You stay in the fight for a long time: both more damage and more HP scale well.

Play the mid-range, punish every overcommit from the opponent.

This is the standard build pattern for the fighter class; we only name exact items once a Brawler-specific build has been verified.

As a fighter, Damian is favoured into assassin, artillery, thrower.

• With your high damage in the mid-range trade you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage.
• With your high damage in the mid-range trade you focus Dynamike: Dynamike can't shoot in a straight line and misses everything moving.
• With your high damage in the mid-range trade you focus Penny: Penny is slow and has no escape.
• With your high damage in the mid-range trade you focus Tick: Tick has the lowest HP in the game.

Damian struggles against marksman, sharpshooter and on maps that do not support the fighter role.
