On these maps Nori 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 Nori is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Nori 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, Nori 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.

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