Rosa

Who is Rosa

Rosa 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, Rosa has shown up in 5,451 battles with a global win rate of 76.6% and a pick rate of 0.6%. That pick rate is the share of matches where a top-PRO player chose Rosa out of every available brawler, so it works as a thermometer for how meta they are right now.

Rosa 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 Rosa

The best map for Rosa is Snake Prairie in Bounty, with a Bayesian-adjusted win rate of 81.5% over 777 battles. That puts them above their class average in this mode, so it's worth picking Rosa when that rotation is live. A strong run on Snake Prairie usually combines favorable geometry (short ranges or cover) and a mode whose objective plays into the brawler's kit.

Rosa's performance is highly map-dependent: there are 34.5 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, Rosa also performs well on In the Liminal (Hot Zone) with a 77.9% win rate, only 3.7 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, Rosa holds a 77.3% win rate on Sneaky Fields (Brawl Ball) over 524 battles. Having three competitive maps widens the rotation windows worth bringing them in for, not just their signature map.

Just above their worst result, Rosa also struggles on Bustling Business, where their win rate sits at 47.1%. Keep this map on your radar as a second warning sign when deciding the pick.

On the opposite end, Slam Dunk (Basket Brawl) drops Rosa's win rate to 47.1%. That's the bottom tail of a 34.5-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

Rosa clearly dominates the matchup against Shelly: across the 350 recorded battles for that pairing, their win rate climbs to 81.0%. If you spot Shelly on the enemy team in draft, that lane is an edge for Rosa — seek the duel out rather than avoid it.

Their second-best matchup is against Bull, where Rosa holds a 80.8% win rate over 804 battles. Two strong favorable counters like these give Rosa real value as a targeted pick against comps that lean on those two brawlers.

Where Rosa has a clear disadvantage is against Nita: their win rate drops to 69.3% across the 97 battles recorded for that matchup. If Nita shows up on the enemy team, consider not picking Rosa 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 Rosa the samples range from 35 to 804 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 Rosa 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 Rosa 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 Rosa 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, Rosa performs best in Basket Brawl, with a 74.1% win rate over 2,041 battles — the mode with the most recorded sample for this brawler. That makes Basket Brawl 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 Rosa 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, Rosa's win rate dropped from 74.4% to 68.5%, a fall of −5.9 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 Rosa, usually from a rotation of maps or a rising counter.

Every percentage on the Rosa 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.
