Safe picks and risky picks on Shooting Star

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.

  • Sprout — 63% over 160 matches (fairly reliable), picked in 14% of battles, 5 points above its Bounty average of 58%. Blind-pick safety 6/10.
  • Gus — 58% over 193 matches (fairly reliable), picked in 22% of battles, in line with its Bounty average. Blind-pick safety 7/10.

Strong, but keep for a late pick

Win here but are easy to counter: lock them in once the enemy draft is visible, after checking which counters are still open.

  • Mortis — 55% over 165 matches (fairly reliable), picked in 14% of battles, 2 points above its Bounty average of 52%. Blind-pick safety 4/10.
  • Nani — 52% over 374 matches (reliable), picked in 32% of battles, 2 points above its Bounty average of 50%. Blind-pick safety 4/10.

Also winning here

Winning record without a strong pick-order signal, or with a sample that is still small.

  • Amber — 59% over 115 matches (fairly reliable), picked in 18% of battles, 2 points below its Bounty average of 62%. Blind-pick safety 5/10.
  • Fang — 59% over 58 matches (early signal), picked in 5% of battles, 6 points above its Bounty average of 53%. Blind-pick safety 5/10.

Most picked on Shooting Star

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

  • Piper — picked in 57% of battles, 50% over 676 matches (reliable) (coin flip).
  • Brock — picked in 53% of battles, 52% over 455 matches (reliable) (strong pick).
  • Max — picked in 51% of battles, 49% over 598 matches (reliable) (popular but losing).
  • Pierce — picked in 36% of battles, 48% over 426 matches (reliable) (popular but losing).
  • Byron — picked in 35% of battles, 44% over 412 matches (reliable) (avoid).
  • Nani — picked in 32% of battles, 52% over 374 matches (reliable) (strong, pick late).
  • Gene — picked in 27% of battles, 48% over 314 matches (reliable) (popular but losing).
  • Gus — picked in 22% of battles, 58% over 193 matches (fairly 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.
