January 2026 Meta Snapshot

Finx leads this month's snapshot thanks to his impressive win ratios, e.g. massive 68.6% WR in Knockout, 64.2% in Brawl Ball or exceptional 70% WR in Brawl Hockey. However, his very skill-expressive and nuanced kit means he won't be universally liked by everyone. A potential factor that might have contributed to his performance this month is that he seems to be a very good pick into Pierce.

Pierce continues to show exceptionally great performance in team modes. The most noteworthy ones are Knockout (64.3% WR), Brawl Ball (62.2% WR) and Bounty (59.2% WR). His popularity is likely going to lead to decreased usage of other snipers like Mandy or Piper

Gigi's win rates seem to be adjusting to reasonable levels. She still shines in modes like Brawl Ball (60.2% WR) and Brawl Arena (63.2%). If you like playing Arena, you might want to play her there - she has insane camp clear speed, great pushing power, stealing potential plus capability to perform suprising backdoors. Despite her good performance and fun to play kit, her pick rate has dropped to only 0.48%.

Doug continues to perform nicely despite not being one of the most recent brawlers. He maintains a very good win rate in Brawl Ball (59.3% WR), which is his mostly played team mode and Hot Zone (60.8% WR). He is also played quite often in Knockout, where he achieves 55.5% WR, despite a heavy domination of ranged brawlers in that mode.

Trunk continues to be a solid pick for Brawl Ball (59.3% WR), Hot Zone (58.8% WR) and Brawl Hockey (58.5%). He shines in these modes because of his suprising mobility, which enables him to score enexpected goals in Brawl Ball or Brawl Hockey or clear annoying backline and reclaim the ring in Hot Zone. He also sees some usage in Knockout, but with lower, yet still WR of 54.3%

Ziggy's win rates have fallen across the board this month. The reason for that might be that with time, he is played more on higher trophy ranges. Even though his win rate has dropped, it is still high - Brawl Ball and Knockout, his most played team modes, still maintain a very good 58% WR and on Hot Zone he achieves a 55.4% WR.

Mina's win rates have dropped a little bit in comparison to December, although they are still on a very decent level. In her most played team mode - Brawl Ball, she achieves 55.4% WR, Knockout is very close with 55.3% WR. Her unique mobility and attack pattern means that not everyone will be initially successful playing her and she requires a little bit more time to master.

Chuck's Win Rate has improved in January - on his most played mode, Heist, he achieves exceptional 60.6% WR which shows that he is not easily powercrept by latest brawlers. However, he requires some map-specific knowledge on how to setup on each map, so it takes much effort to master him. He is definitely a ban-worthy brawler on ranked if you roll a Heist map.

Juju has seen a slight increase in Win Ratio last month. Her most played mode is Knockout with 56.1% WR and the best one stat-wise is Hot Zone with 56.9% WR.

R-T closes the top 10 list of January Meta Snapshot. Thanks to his infamous Hypercharge he is still a meta pick on Brawl Ball (55.9% WR), Knockout (56.4%) and Hot Zone (54.3%). Despite his good performance, he has a very low Pick Rate in team modes - only 0.27%. That might make him worth picking up and learning, since many players won't know how to counter him on lower brackets.
