COLT

Who is COLT

COLT is a brawler of Rare rarity, class Damage Dealer. This article summarizes their performance in the current competitive meta: best map, hardest counters, and the weekly trend of their win rate. The numbers come from top-PRO battles over the last 90 days, Bayesian-smoothed so a brawler with a small sample doesn't show a misleading percentage.

Over the 30-day window, COLT has shown up in 1,636 battles with a global win rate of 60.9%. That window belongs to the figure itself and is shorter than the one feeding the rest of the page, because a win rate needs recent data so it doesn't drag along a meta that already moved on.

Across the full 90 days, COLT has a pick rate of 0.9%. That pick rate is the share of matches where a top-PRO player chose COLT out of every available brawler, so it works as a thermometer for how meta they are right now. It uses the long window on purpose, because a brawler's popularity shifts more slowly than their win rate.

Across the full roster, COLT's trend is among the weakest: their win rate is falling below 17% of brawlers with a measurable trend this week. That signal often foreshadows the meta turning against the brawler before it even shows in their global win rate.

The two figures for COLT tell different things. The observed win rate, 60.9%, measures how often it wins in the hands of a top 200 player from its country. The discounted strength, 32.8%, estimates how often it would win against a mid-level opponent once the mix of opponents it happened to face is discounted. The first one orders the lists across the site and the second sits beside it, as context.

By discounted strength, COLT takes rank 103 of 107, in the bottom third of the roster. Its observed win rate leans in part on the opponents it happened to face, so read it together with the specific map and mode.

COLT sits on the first paid-rarity step of the collection, the Rares. At this tier the Coin cost to bring them to power 11 stays reasonable and the investment in gadgets and star powers pays off quickly, so almost every competitive roster ends up routing through these brawlers as support or as a specific pick for maps where the kit fits better than higher-rarity options.

As a Damage Dealer, the role is to apply lane pressure at medium range: clean shooting lines hold zone control and force the enemy to move. Opening fights up close is someone else's job. This is the brawler that punishes any positioning mistake from the opponent. In team play it sits behind the tank, covering flanks and finishing objectives once the fight has already developed.

Best maps for COLT

The best map for COLT is Supercut in Bounty, with a Bayesian-adjusted win rate of 84.0% over 30 battles. That puts them above their class average in this mode, so it's worth picking COLT when that rotation is live. A strong run on Supercut usually combines favorable geometry (short ranges or cover) and a mode whose objective plays into the brawler's kit.

COLT's performance is highly map-dependent: there are 27.8 percentage points between their best and worst map. That high variance means it pays to check the rotation before locking them in, because the same brawler swings from one of the best options to a clearly unfavorable pick depending on the map.

As a second map option, COLT also performs well on New Horizons (Knockout) with a 82.8% win rate, only 1.2 points off their best map. When the gap between the top two maps is this small, picking one over the other comes down to the enemy team more than the brawler itself.

Rounding out the podium, COLT holds a 78.3% win rate on Jedna (Heist) over 74 battles. Having three competitive maps widens the rotation windows worth bringing them in for, not just their signature map.

Just above their worst result, COLT also struggles on Bustling Business, where their win rate sits at 56.5%. Keep this map on your radar as a second warning sign when deciding the pick.

On the opposite end, Kaboom Canyon (Heist) drops COLT's win rate to 56.2%. That's the bottom tail of a 27.8-point range between their best and worst map, so if that rotation comes up during a session, consider a different brawler to avoid throwing matches.

Counters and matchups

COLT clearly dominates the matchup against SHELLY: across the 32 recorded battles for that pairing, their win rate climbs to 81.3%. If you spot SHELLY on the enemy team in draft, that lane is an edge for COLT — seek the duel out rather than avoid it.

Their second-best matchup is against BYRON, where COLT holds a 74.5% win rate over 39 battles. Two strong favorable counters like these give COLT real value as a targeted pick against comps that lean on those two brawlers.

Where COLT has a clear disadvantage is against AMBER: their win rate drops to 45.5% across the 140 battles recorded for that matchup. If AMBER shows up on the enemy team, consider not picking COLT or changing the game plan to avoid the shared lane, because AMBER wins that exchange.

Per-brawler matchups are the smallest-sample metric on the page: for COLT the samples range from 32 to 196 battles. Read them with the confidence that sample implies — a matchup at the low end says far less than one backed by the high one.

This section lists the matchups where COLT performs worst and best over the last 30 days, sampled from top PRO players and smoothed with Bayesian WR to avoid noise.

Star Powers, Gadgets and Hypercharge

To get the most out of COLT in the current meta, prioritize upgrades by synergy with their kit, not by gem cost. Star powers, gadgets and hypercharge change tiers depending on the meta, so the upgrade priority is dynamic.

As a general rule, the first profitable upgrade for COLT is usually the star power with the highest pick rate in PRO tournaments, followed by the gadget that best fits their role (lane, support, or pick). Hypercharge, when it exists, comes last because it costs more Coins and Power Points and only triggers with a full super bar.

By game mode, COLT performs best in Brawl Ball, with a 60.5% win rate over 1,394 battles — the mode with the most recorded sample for this brawler. That makes Brawl Ball the context where their performance is most reliable and where investing in upgrades pays off most clearly.

Beyond the immediate meta, the upgrade path for COLT should prioritize what moves the win rate needle the most: power 11 before gears, first star power before second, primary gadget before any hypercharge. Hypercharges cost a lot of coins and power points and only activate with a full super bar, so their real priority drops toward the end of the checklist.

Weekly meta analysis

Over the last 7 days, COLT's win rate dropped from 62.8% to 59.8%, a fall of −3.0 points versus the previous half of the window. With both halves above the sample minimum, that drop is a real signal: the meta is moving against COLT, usually from a rotation of maps or a rising counter.

Compared with the rest of the roster, that move leaves COLT falling below 17% of brawlers with a measurable trend this week — they're at the bottom end of those losing ground. It doesn't mean they're unplayable, but it's worth waiting for the next map rotation before prioritizing their investment.

Every percentage on the COLT page comes from real battles played by the world's top players, aggregated with statistical smoothing and recomputed every six hours. If you want to understand why one map performs better than another or how a rotation affects the win rate, the methodology page covers the technical detail step by step.
