Counted from 4,350 Ranked Gem Grab battles of top players over the last 21 days, last updated 2026-09-27. 29 more Brawlers were picked too rarely to show a win rate. Matches played before the latest balance change count for less.

Top players pick Rico (in 47% of battles, 50% win rate), Griff (in 34% of battles, 48% win rate), Gus (in 31% of battles, 55% win rate) most often in Gem Grab. Being picked a lot and winning a lot are not the same thing.

Spike struggles most in Gem Grab: 33% over 121 matches (fairly reliable).

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.

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 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.

The classes this mode favours are support, controller, thrower, fighter. Cover those roles across your three picks rather than stacking the same archetype.

Gene, Barley, Bo, Pam, Tara, Sandy combine a strong Gem Grab fit with high blind-pick safety.

Colt, Crow, Leon, Bea, Belle, Griff can be excellent here, but they are easy to punish if you reveal them early.
