Pearl's strongest measured map is Supercut (Bounty): 88% over 94 matches (fairly reliable). Its weakest is Shooting Star (Bounty): 43% over 165 matches (fairly reliable). Undermine looks even worse at 41%, but 63 matches is only an early signal. 13 maps have at least 30 Pearl matches; maps with fewer are left out.

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

Gadget: Hot Snack — Instant heal plus heat: turns the trade in your favor.

Star Power: Steamed Up — More damage at high heat rewards keeping your heat bar up.

Gears: Health + Damage — You play mid-range and need to stay in the fight.

Keep your heat high, but never overheat right before a fight.

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

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