Best maps for Jacky
No single map has 30 or more Jacky matches yet, so we do not rank its maps.
No map where Jacky wins more than it loses has 30 or more matches yet.
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 Jacky is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Jacky scores 6/10.
Best build
Gadget: Pneumatic Booster — Speed boost to get in or get out — Jacky's only mobility.
Star Power: Counter Crush — You reflect damage back, so tanks can no longer attack you.
Gears: Health + Shield — You always fight at close range and need to survive it.
Stand on the objective and force everyone off it.

Strengths
As a tank, Jacky is favoured into assassin, thrower, controller.
- With your Pneumatic Booster gadget to sprint in you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage.
- With your Pneumatic Booster gadget to sprint in you focus Bo: controllers have low burst and go down fast under focus.
- With your Pneumatic Booster gadget to sprint in you focus Lou: controllers have low burst and go down fast under focus.
- With your Pneumatic Booster gadget to sprint in you focus Jessie: Jessie relies on her turret and is weak herself.
Weaknesses
Jacky struggles against marksman, sharpshooter, support and on maps that do not support the tank role.
