The rankAll five numbers are ranks in the field, not values: 98th means
“better than 98% of all brawlers”. It is the only way to compare five axes that live
in completely different ranges — a win rate around 50%, a pick rate around 1%.
The dashed ring is the middle of the field. What was measured is on the right.
A dashed edge with a hollow corner, by contrast, is not a measurement but an estimate —
there is a ≈ in front of the number then.
Win rateHow often he wins — the same number as in the header, from the same battles.
PopularityHow often he is played at all. Says nothing about whether that is wise —
a popular brawler can be a poor pick and the other way round.
BreadthOn how many maps of the rotation he is at the top — the number the
tier list sorts by as well. A narrow brawler with a high win rate is a
safe bet on his two maps and nowhere else; where that is, is in the table below.
This axis always spans all modes.
Counter safetyHis worst duel, not the average: how he fares when the opponent knows the answer.
High means “even at his worst he still wins often”, low means “a single counter-pick costs the round”
— that decides whether you can show him first.
Who beats him is on Who beats whom?
Star rateHow often he becomes star player in won battles — whether he carries the game or rides along.
A support brawler can be very strong and still sit low here.

Across the ranks
Win rate per rank tier, across all maps — ranked battles only, the tier comes from the battle itself. The axis runs from Bronze to Masters, one tick per tier: the stretch where this brawler has at least 300 battles per tier; one tier falls below that and drop out. The stretch always fills the full width, three tiers or eight — so when comparing two curves, mind the names on the axis. The curve glows brighter where more was measured — the tiers differ by more than a thousandfold in battles. The faint horizontal line sits at 50 %.
Skill bonus +3.4 — rewards skill: from Bronze to Masters the win rate climbs by 3.4 points
(regression 48.2% to 51.6%). The higher the tier, the better he does.
Who beats Shade and who he gets along with depends on the mode —
and no map sets it here. Both are on Who beats whom?,
and on every map page for that map.
