Griff's strongest measured map is Ring of Fire (Hot Zone): 60% over 153 matches (fairly reliable). Its weakest is Center Stage (Brawl Ball): 38% over 338 matches (reliable). 18 maps have at least 30 Griff matches; maps with fewer are left out.

On these maps Griff 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 Griff is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Griff scores 5/10.

Gadget: Piggy Bank — Heal plus coins back: barely wins the mid-range trade.

Star Power: Business Resumed — Faster reload means more volleys and therefore more burst.

Gears: Damage + Health — You play at mid-range and need to hold that position.

Get just within maximum spread, where all your coins connect.

As a sharpshooter, Griff is favoured into tank, fighter, artillery.

• With your burst at mid-range you focus Shelly: fighters lose once you keep them outside their effective range.
• With your burst at mid-range you focus Nita: Nita is vulnerable without her bear.
• With your burst at mid-range you focus Penny: Penny is slow and has no escape.
• With your burst at mid-range you focus Rosa: Rosa does little damage outside her shield.

Griff struggles against assassin, thrower and on maps that do not support the sharpshooter role.

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

• Heist — fit 8/10
• Gem Grab — fit 6/10
• Hot Zone — fit 6/10

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.

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

Learn the pick-order logic in the drafting guide.

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