Safe picks and risky picks on Flaring Phoenix

Safe means winning here with a good sample and hard to punish when picked blind; risky means the numbers say it loses, or it wins but is easy to counter once the enemy sees it. The pick-order guide explains when to lock what.

Safe early picks

Winning record, a fairly reliable sample or better, and a blind-pick safety of at least 6/10 in the coaching model.

  • Buster — 52% over 88 matches (fairly reliable), picked in 7% of battles, 5 points above its Knockout average of 47%. Blind-pick safety 6/10.

Strong, but keep for a late pick

  • Edgar — 55% over 182 matches (fairly reliable), picked in 15% of battles, 9 points above its Knockout average of 46%. Blind-pick safety 4/10.

Most picked on Flaring Phoenix

How often top players take a brawler onto Flaring Phoenix, and how it went. Popular is not the same as good.

  • Brock — picked in 65% of battles, 55% over 569 matches (reliable) (strong pick).
  • Gene — picked in 40% of battles, 47% over 487 matches (reliable) (popular but losing).
  • Max — picked in 35% of battles, 49% over 424 matches (reliable) (coin flip).
  • Gus — picked in 29% of battles, 54% over 262 matches (reliable) (safe early pick).
  • Pierce — picked in 24% of battles, 50% over 294 matches (reliable) (coin flip).

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. Brawlers with fewer than 30 matches are listed without a win rate on purpose.
