The strongest measured pick on Tread Carefully is Gus: 83% over 126 matches (fairly reliable), picked in 95% of battles, 26 points above its Hot Zone average of 58%. Gus (83%) combines a winning record here with a high blind-pick safety, so it is the safest early picks.

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.

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

• Gus — picked in 95% of battles, 83% over 126 matches (fairly reliable) (safe early pick).
• Amber — picked in 87% of battles, 82% over 116 matches (fairly reliable) (strong pick).
• El Primo — picked in 64% of battles, 80% over 85 matches (fairly reliable) (strong pick).

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.
