Players take Rosa into Brawl Ball most often: 33% of its matches are played there, where it wins 61% (89 matches, fairly reliable). Rosa wins far more often than it loses in Hot Zone: 66% over 41 matches (early signal), 7 points above its overall win rate. Rosa wins about as often as it loses in Knockout: 50% over 30 matches (early signal), 9 points below its overall win rate. Too few matches to show a win rate: Bounty (20 matches), Heist (2 matches).

Rosa's strongest measured map is Sneaky Fields (Brawl Ball): 78% over 45 matches (early signal). 2 maps have at least 30 Rosa matches; maps with fewer are left out.

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 Rosa is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Rosa scores 6/10.

Gadget: Grow Light — Creates a bush where there wasn't one: you gain cover and healing in the middle of the map.

Star Power: Plant Life — Healing in bush keeps you on the map continuously without having to retreat.

Gears: Health + Shield — With your shield active, effective HP scales the hardest.

Walk in with shield active, force the backline out.

As a tank, Rosa is favoured into assassin, thrower, controller.

• With your Strong Stuff shield to absorb his damage you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage.
• With your Strong Stuff shield to absorb his damage you focus Bo: controllers have low burst and go down fast under focus.
• With your Strong Stuff shield to absorb his damage you focus Lou: controllers have low burst and go down fast under focus.
• With your Strong Stuff shield to absorb his damage you focus Jessie: Jessie relies on her turret and is weak herself.

Rosa struggles against marksman, sharpshooter, support and on maps that do not support the tank role.

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

• Hot Zone — fit 7/10
• Brawl Ball — fit 6/10
• Gem Grab — fit 5/10

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

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