On these maps Edgar 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 Edgar is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Edgar scores 4/10.

Gadget: Let's Fly — Extra jump distance: you reach a backline that would otherwise be just out of reach.

Star Power: Hard Landing — Damage on landing guarantees your dive has immediate value.

Gears: Gadget Charge + Health — You dive without an escape, so you need to survive the landing.

Only jump on an isolated squishy, never into a full team.

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

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

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

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