BUZZ

Who is BUZZ

BUZZ is a brawler of Mythic rarity, 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 90 days, Bayesian-smoothed so a brawler with a small sample doesn't show a misleading percentage.

Over the 30-day window, BUZZ has shown up in 1,123 battles with a global win rate of 66.6%. 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, BUZZ has a pick rate of 0.7%. That pick rate is the share of matches where a top-PRO player chose BUZZ 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.

The two figures for BUZZ tell different things. The observed win rate, 66.6%, measures how often it wins in the hands of a top 200 player from its country. The discounted strength, 44.7%, 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, BUZZ takes rank 76 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.

BUZZ belongs to the Mythics, the rarity where nearly every kit is built around a high skill ceiling. They aren't first-pick brawlers for new accounts because they usually demand map reading, cooldown management and matchup knowledge, but in PRO hands they make the difference between winning and losing a match. Their upgrade investment becomes a priority once you understand the meta.

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 BUZZ

The best map for BUZZ is Net Presence in Brawl Hockey, with a Bayesian-adjusted win rate of 85.7% over 37 battles. That puts them above their class average in this mode, so it's worth picking BUZZ when that rotation is live. A strong run on Net Presence usually combines favorable geometry (short ranges or cover) and a mode whose objective plays into the brawler's kit.

BUZZ's performance is highly map-dependent: there are 25.0 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, BUZZ also performs well on Ball Hog (Basket Brawl) with a 83.3% win rate, only 2.5 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, BUZZ holds a 81.9% win rate on Raging Ocean (Brawl Hockey) over 67 battles. Having three competitive maps widens the rotation windows worth bringing them in for, not just their signature map.

Just above their worst result, BUZZ also struggles on Deadlock, where their win rate sits at 61.5%. Keep this map on your radar as a second warning sign when deciding the pick.

On the opposite end, Deathcap Trap (Gem Grab) drops BUZZ's win rate to 60.7%. That's the bottom tail of a 25.0-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

BUZZ clearly dominates the matchup against KENJI: across the 37 recorded battles for that pairing, their win rate climbs to 75.3%. If you spot KENJI on the enemy team in draft, that lane is an edge for BUZZ — seek the duel out rather than avoid it.

Their second-best matchup is against PIPER, where BUZZ holds a 74.9% win rate over 44 battles. Two strong favorable counters like these give BUZZ real value as a targeted pick against comps that lean on those two brawlers.

Where BUZZ has a clear disadvantage is against AMBER: their win rate drops to 47.2% across the 81 battles recorded for that matchup. If AMBER shows up on the enemy team, consider not picking BUZZ 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 BUZZ the samples range from 35 to 133 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 BUZZ 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 BUZZ 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 BUZZ 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, BUZZ performs best in Brawl Ball, with a 67.6% win rate over 1,440 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 BUZZ 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, BUZZ's win rate dropped from 70.3% to 69.2%, a fall of −1.1 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 BUZZ, usually from a rotation of maps or a rising counter.

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