There are barely any games for this brawler on Parallel Plays — he is effectively not picked here. The sections below therefore show what is known about him aside from this map.

Wins early — in Knockout 7.8 points better in short rounds than in long ones (60.2% against 52.4%, split at 110 s). A pick for pace — if the game drags on, it works against him.

Against whom

Direct duels in Hot Zone: how Buster does when that brawler is on the enemy team. Duels are available per mode, not per map — so unlike the numbers above, this section covers every Hot Zone map, not just Parallel Plays. Computed across all ranked tiers — the numbers are not enough for Masters yet.

Worst case: 40.1% against Nori in Hot Zone — barely punishable even there, which makes him a risk-free first pick.
