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.
Mode strategy
Gem Grab rewards support, controller, thrower, fighter. Build your draft around those roles first; a Brawler that is strong overall but cannot contribute to the win condition still loses the game.
The coaches' view on Gem Grab
The coaching model's ranking by Gem Grab fit, next to the measured win rates above. When the two disagree, trust the one with more matches behind it.
Roles that matter
The classes this mode favours are support, controller, thrower, fighter. Cover those roles across your three picks rather than stacking the same archetype.
Safe picks
Gene, Barley, Bo, Pam, Tara, Sandy combine a strong Gem Grab fit with high blind-pick safety.
Situational picks
Colt, Crow, Leon, Bea, Belle, Griff can be excellent here, but they are easy to punish if you reveal them early.
