Draco

Who is Draco

Draco is a Legendary-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, Draco has shown up in 5,867 battles with a global win rate of 68.3% and a pick rate of 0.7%. That pick rate is the share of matches where a top-PRO player chose Draco out of every available brawler, so it works as a thermometer for how meta they are right now.

Draco is a Legendary brawler, one of the most coveted rarities in the game because it blends a unique identity with low box drop chance. The kit is usually built to define entire matches: hypercharges with critical timing, supers that zone whole maps off, or gadgets that break the standard logic of the mode. In PRO tournaments they show up when the draft calls for a specific piece no other brawler can cover the same way.

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 Draco

The best map for Draco is Sneaky Fields in Brawl Ball, with a Bayesian-adjusted win rate of 79.1% over 286 battles. That puts them above their class average in this mode, so it's worth picking Draco when that rotation is live. A strong run on Sneaky Fields usually combines favorable geometry (short ranges or cover) and a mode whose objective plays into the brawler's kit.

Draco's performance is highly map-dependent: there are 64.9 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, Draco also performs well on Perpetual Motion (Heist) with a 74.6% win rate, only 4.5 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, Draco holds a 74.6% win rate on Nutmeg (Brawl Ball) over 104 battles. Having three competitive maps widens the rotation windows worth bringing them in for, not just their signature map.

Just above their worst result, Draco also struggles on Streets with No Name, where their win rate sits at 25.7%. Keep this map on your radar as a second warning sign when deciding the pick.

On the opposite end, Please Remain Standing (Knockout) drops Draco's win rate to 14.2%. That's the bottom tail of a 64.9-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

Draco clearly dominates the matchup against Colt: across the 844 recorded battles for that pairing, their win rate climbs to 73.0%. If you spot Colt on the enemy team in draft, that lane is an edge for Draco — seek the duel out rather than avoid it.

Their second-best matchup is against Shelly, where Draco holds a 72.5% win rate over 177 battles. Two strong favorable counters like these give Draco real value as a targeted pick against comps that lean on those two brawlers.

Where Draco has a clear disadvantage is against Brock: their win rate drops to 54.6% across the 155 battles recorded for that matchup. If Brock shows up on the enemy team, consider not picking Draco or changing the game plan to avoid the shared lane, because Brock wins that exchange.

Per-brawler matchups are the smallest-sample metric on the page: for Draco the samples range from 45 to 844 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 Draco 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 Draco 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 Draco 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, Draco performs best in Brawl Ball, with a 73.0% win rate over 2,242 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 Draco 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, Draco's win rate dropped from 73.2% to 70.7%, a fall of −2.5 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 Draco, usually from a rotation of maps or a rising counter.

Every percentage on the Draco page comes from sampling top PRO battles with source=global filtering and Bayesian smoothing, recomputed every six hours.
