Best Brawler by Game Mode

The overall tier list tells you what's strong on average. This page breaks that same data down mode by mode, since the best pick for Gem Grab isn't always the best pick for Knockout.

Why Rankings by Mode Matter

A brawler that tops the overall tier list can still be a weak pick in a specific mode. Siege rewards different strengths than Gem Grab, and Duels plays nothing like Wipeout. Breaking rankings down by mode surfaces those differences instead of averaging them away.

How BrawlOne Calculates Mode Rankings

Each mode page uses the exact same public battle log data behind the overall tier list, filtered down to battles from that mode only. A brawler's score in a given mode comes from how often it's used and how often it wins within that mode specifically, combined with its general efficiency and role weighting.

The one thing left out here is mode-flexibility scoring, which rewards brawlers for covering many different modes on the overall tier list — that signal doesn't apply once you've already filtered down to a single mode.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Best Brawler by Mode different from the overall tier list?

The overall tier list averages a brawler's performance across every mode. This page breaks that same battle log data down mode by mode, since a brawler that dominates Gem Grab isn't always a good pick for Knockout or Siege.

Why are some game modes missing from this page?

A mode only appears once enough battles have been logged for it across tracked public players. Modes with too little data are left off rather than shown with an unreliable ranking.

What does the 'Limited' badge mean on a mode card?

It means that mode has enough battles to show a ranking, but fewer than most other modes. Treat rankings marked Limited as an early signal rather than a settled result.

How often does this page update?

Rankings refresh from public battle log data roughly every 6 hours, so brawler placement can shift as more battles get logged.
