Players take Draco into Hot Zone most often: 53% of its matches are played there, where it wins 58% (108 matches, fairly reliable). Draco wins far more often than it loses in Hot Zone: 58% over 108 matches (fairly reliable), 5 points above its overall win rate. Draco loses clearly more often than it wins in Gem Grab: 47% over 41 matches (early signal), 7 points below its overall win rate. Too few matches to show a win rate: Brawl Ball (29 matches), Heist (13 matches), Knockout (6 matches), Bounty (5 matches).

Draco's strongest measured map is Ring of Fire (Hot Zone): 65% over 48 matches (early signal). 1 maps have at least 30 Draco matches; maps with fewer are left out.

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

Gadget: Dragon's Breath — Extra damage window in dragon form.

Star Power: Dragon Fury — Your dragon form lasts longer, letting you win more fights per super.

Gears: Health + Damage — You fight at close range in both forms.

Build your super with poke and only transform on the objective.

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

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

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

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

• Brawl Ball — fit 7/10
• Hot Zone — fit 6/10
• Gem Grab — fit 5/10

Draco is a reasonable middle pick — check which counters are still open before locking it.

Works well alongside Doug.

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