Win rate per rank tier, across all maps — ranked battles only, the tier comes from the battle itself. The axis runs from Silver to Masters, one tick per tier: the stretch where this brawler has at least 300 battles per tier; 2 tiers fall 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 %.
No clear rank trend — from Silver to Masters the win rate stays practically the same (regression −0.2 points across the whole range). He plays the same at the bottom as at the top.

Direct duels in Gem Grab: how Shade does when that brawler is on the enemy team. Always one mode, never all of them at once — the same pairing can mean the opposite in two modes. Only listed where a real counter is behind it: whoever only wins because he is the stronger brawler is not shown here. Computed across all ranked tiers together — not for your tier alone.
Worst case: 34.8% against Meeple in Knockout — barely punishable even there, which makes him a risk-free first pick.
The word after the number says how hard: hard counter means the edge is clearly bigger than the strength of the two would give. A high win rate alone never appears here — whoever only wins because he is the stronger brawler does not make the list at all. See it in the counter network
