Most picked on Gem Fort

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

  • Rico — picked in 50% of battles, 49% over 537 matches (reliable) (popular but losing).
  • Gus — picked in 33% of battles, 59% over 260 matches (reliable) (safe early pick).
  • El Primo — picked in 29% of battles, 52% over 150 matches (fairly reliable) (coin flip).
  • Griff — picked in 29% of battles, 46% over 306 matches (reliable) (avoid).
  • Colette — picked in 27% of battles, 51% over 221 matches (reliable) (coin flip).
  • Ash — picked in 27% of battles, 45% over 292 matches (reliable) (avoid).
  • Stu — picked in 26% of battles, 52% over 273 matches (reliable) (safe early pick).

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.

The coaches' view on Gem Fort
