Edgar

Who is Edgar

Edgar is a Epic-rarity brawler of class Assassin. 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, Edgar has shown up in 5,545 battles with a global win rate of 73.3% and a pick rate of 1.1%. That pick rate is the share of matches where a top-PRO player chose Edgar out of every available brawler, so it works as a thermometer for how meta they are right now.

Across the full roster, Edgar's trend is among the strongest: their win rate is climbing faster than 82% of brawlers with a measurable trend this week. When a brawler rises this fast it's usually because maps or modes rotated in where their kit fits better than average.

Edgar is an Epic brawler, a rarity where kits start to break conventions: unique mechanics, supers with special effects and gadgets that flip the whole game plan. The gem or Star Drop investment is steeper, but in return you get a tool that defines entire lanes in draft and tends to be picked in tournaments whenever its signature map enters rotation.

As an Assassin, the pattern is aggressive burst: lean on the kit mobility to flank, eliminate a priority target and exit before the counter-attack lands. Super economy is critical because most assassins rely on it to escape after the pick. Maps with walls and blind angles amplify the playstyle; open maps punish it severely.

Best maps for Edgar

The best map for Edgar is Pit Stop in Heist, with a Bayesian-adjusted win rate of 83.5% over 310 battles. That puts them above their class average in this mode, so it's worth picking Edgar when that rotation is live. A strong run on Pit Stop usually combines favorable geometry (short ranges or cover) and a mode whose objective plays into the brawler's kit.

Edgar's performance is highly map-dependent: there are 39.1 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, Edgar also performs well on Dueling Beetles (Hot Zone) with a 83.2% win rate, only 0.4 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, Edgar holds a 83.0% win rate on Eating Good! (Heist) over 259 battles. Having three competitive maps widens the rotation windows worth bringing them in for, not just their signature map.

Just above their worst result, Edgar also struggles on Snake Pit, where their win rate sits at 46.7%. Keep this map on your radar as a second warning sign when deciding the pick.

On the opposite end, Snake Prairie (Bounty) drops Edgar's win rate to 44.4%. That's the bottom tail of a 39.1-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

Edgar clearly dominates the matchup against Jessie: across the 131 recorded battles for that pairing, their win rate climbs to 83.2%. If you spot Jessie on the enemy team in draft, that lane is an edge for Edgar — seek the duel out rather than avoid it.

Their second-best matchup is against Dynamike, where Edgar holds a 80.4% win rate over 164 battles. Two strong favorable counters like these give Edgar real value as a targeted pick against comps that lean on those two brawlers.

Where Edgar has a clear disadvantage is against Wendy: their win rate drops to 47.7% across the 35 battles recorded for that matchup. If Wendy shows up on the enemy team, consider not picking Edgar or changing the game plan to avoid the shared lane, because Wendy wins that exchange.

Per-brawler matchups are the smallest-sample metric on the page: for Edgar the samples range from 24 to 1,558 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 Edgar 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 Edgar 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 Edgar 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, Edgar performs best in Brawl Ball, with a 67.9% win rate over 1,352 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 Edgar 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, Edgar's win rate moved from 73.3% to 75.0%, a climb of +1.7 points versus the previous half of the window. Since each half clears the 3-battle minimum, that move isn't noise: it reflects the meta shifting in Edgar's favor, usually from a rotation of maps or modes where they perform better.

Compared with the rest of the roster, that move puts Edgar climbing faster than 82% of brawlers with a measurable trend this week — they're at the top end of the risers. When a brawler lands in that band it's often a good moment to invest in their upgrades before a possible nerf arrives.

Every percentage on the Edgar page comes from real battles played by the world's top players, aggregated with statistical smoothing and recomputed every six hours.
