Hank

Who is Hank

Hank is a Epic-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, Hank has shown up in 4,433 battles with a global win rate of 71.6% and a pick rate of 0.5%. That pick rate is the share of matches where a top-PRO player chose Hank out of every available brawler, so it works as a thermometer for how meta they are right now.

Across the full roster, Hank's trend is among the strongest: their win rate is climbing faster than 93% 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.

Hank 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 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 Hank

The best map for Hank is Sidetrack in Brawl Ball, with a Bayesian-adjusted win rate of 77.4% over 169 battles. That puts them above their class average in this mode, so it's worth picking Hank when that rotation is live. A strong run on Sidetrack usually combines favorable geometry (short ranges or cover) and a mode whose objective plays into the brawler's kit.

Hank's performance is highly map-dependent: there are 40.1 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, Hank also performs well on Super Beach (Brawl Ball) with a 76.5% win rate, only 0.8 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, Hank holds a 72.6% win rate on WALKING ON HOT SAND (Wipeout) over 32 battles. Having three competitive maps widens the rotation windows worth bringing them in for, not just their signature map.

Just above their worst result, Hank also struggles on Eating Good!, where their win rate sits at 38.5%. Keep this map on your radar as a second warning sign when deciding the pick.

On the opposite end, Hyacinth House (Hot Zone) drops Hank's win rate to 37.3%. That's the bottom tail of a 40.1-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

Hank clearly dominates the matchup against Dynamike: across the 262 recorded battles for that pairing, their win rate climbs to 75.3%. If you spot Dynamike on the enemy team in draft, that lane is an edge for Hank — seek the duel out rather than avoid it.

Their second-best matchup is against Rico, where Hank holds a 75.2% win rate over 433 battles. Two strong favorable counters like these give Hank real value as a targeted pick against comps that lean on those two brawlers.

Where Hank has a clear disadvantage is against Mortis: their win rate drops to 59.6% across the 22 battles recorded for that matchup. If Mortis shows up on the enemy team, consider not picking Hank or changing the game plan to avoid the shared lane, because Mortis wins that exchange.

Per-brawler matchups are the smallest-sample metric on the page: for Hank the samples range from 22 to 630 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 Hank 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 Hank 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 Hank 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, Hank performs best in Brawl Ball, with a 72.1% win rate over 2,619 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 Hank 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, Hank's win rate moved from 62.3% to 69.7%, a climb of +7.4 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 Hank's favor, usually from a rotation of maps or modes where they perform better.

Compared with the rest of the roster, that move puts Hank climbing faster than 93% 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 Hank 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.
