Bull

Who is Bull

Bull is a Rare-rarity brawler of class Tank. 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 14 days, Bayesian-smoothed so a brawler with a small sample doesn't show a misleading percentage.

Over the 14-day window, Bull has shown up in 6,441 battles with a global win rate of 69.7% and a pick rate of 0.8%. That pick rate is the share of matches where a top-PRO player chose Bull out of every available brawler, so it works as a thermometer for how meta they are right now.

Across the full roster, Bull's trend is among the weakest: their win rate is falling below 12% 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.

Bull 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 Tank, the job is to absorb damage, create space and start favorable close-range fights. The tank is usually the first to commit to the mode objective, soaking enemy supers so the rest of the team can position without taking them. Defensive gears tend to outperform offensive ones, and matchups against throwers or snipers dictate when and where it's safe to commit the super.

Best maps for Bull

The best map for Bull is Healthy Middle Ground in Knockout, with a Bayesian-adjusted win rate of 80.1% over 161 battles. That puts them above their class average in this mode, so it's worth picking Bull when that rotation is live. A strong run on Healthy Middle Ground usually combines favorable geometry (short ranges or cover) and a mode whose objective plays into the brawler's kit.

Bull's performance is highly map-dependent: there are 39.3 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, Bull also performs well on Open Business (Hot Zone) with a 79.5% win rate, only 0.6 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, Bull holds a 78.6% win rate on Triple-Double (Basket Brawl) over 176 battles. Having three competitive maps widens the rotation windows worth bringing them in for, not just their signature map.

Just above their worst result, Bull also struggles on Layer Cake, where their win rate sits at 44.0%. Keep this map on your radar as a second warning sign when deciding the pick.

On the opposite end, Deathcap Trap (Gem Grab) drops Bull's win rate to 40.8%. That's the bottom tail of a 39.3-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

Bull clearly dominates the matchup against Shelly: across the 159 recorded battles for that pairing, their win rate climbs to 76.2%. If you spot Shelly on the enemy team in draft, that lane is an edge for Bull — seek the duel out rather than avoid it.

Their second-best matchup is against Rico, where Bull holds a 75.9% win rate over 666 battles. Two strong favorable counters like these give Bull real value as a targeted pick against comps that lean on those two brawlers.

Where Bull has a clear disadvantage is against Nita: their win rate drops to 64.9% across the 255 battles recorded for that matchup. If Nita shows up on the enemy team, consider not picking Bull or changing the game plan to avoid the shared lane, because Nita wins that exchange.

Per-brawler matchups are the smallest-sample metric on the page: for Bull the samples range from 36 to 1,113 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 Bull performs worst and best over the last 90 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 Bull 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 Bull 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, Bull performs best in Brawl Ball, with a 70.5% win rate over 2,762 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 Bull 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, Bull's win rate dropped from 75.4% to 63.6%, a fall of −11.7 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 Bull, usually from a rotation of maps or a rising counter.

Compared with the rest of the roster, that move leaves Bull falling below 12% 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 Bull page comes from sampling top PRO battles with source=global filtering and Bayesian smoothing, 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.
