Clancy

Who is Clancy

Clancy is a Mythic-rarity brawler of class Damage Dealer. 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, Clancy has shown up in 3,436 battles with a global win rate of 71.8% and a pick rate of 0.7%. That pick rate is the share of matches where a top-PRO player chose Clancy out of every available brawler, so it works as a thermometer for how meta they are right now.

Across the full roster, Clancy's trend is among the weakest: their win rate is falling below 20% of brawlers with a measurable trend this week. That signal often foreshadows the meta turning against the brawler before it even shows in their global win rate.

Clancy 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 a Damage Dealer, the role is to apply lane pressure at medium range: clean shooting lines hold zone control and force the enemy to move. This isn't a brawler that opens fights up close — it's the one that punishes any positioning mistake from the opponent. In team play it sits behind the tank, covering flanks and finishing objectives once the fight has already developed.

Best maps for Clancy

The best map for Clancy is Arabesque in Brawl Hockey, with a Bayesian-adjusted win rate of 79.1% over 204 battles. That puts them above their class average in this mode, so it's worth picking Clancy when that rotation is live. A strong run on Arabesque usually combines favorable geometry (short ranges or cover) and a mode whose objective plays into the brawler's kit.

Clancy's performance is highly map-dependent: there are 33.6 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, Clancy also performs well on Tip Toe (Brawl Hockey) with a 76.3% win rate, only 2.7 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, Clancy holds a 76.0% win rate on Turnover (Basket Brawl) over 224 battles. Having three competitive maps widens the rotation windows worth bringing them in for, not just their signature map.

Just above their worst result, Clancy also struggles on Bottom Two, where their win rate sits at 47.7%. Keep this map on your radar as a second warning sign when deciding the pick.

On the opposite end, ATLAS (Gem Grab) drops Clancy's win rate to 45.5%. That's the bottom tail of a 33.6-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

Clancy clearly dominates the matchup against Barley: across the 33 recorded battles for that pairing, their win rate climbs to 76.2%. If you spot Barley on the enemy team in draft, that lane is an edge for Clancy — seek the duel out rather than avoid it.

Their second-best matchup is against Edgar, where Clancy holds a 76.0% win rate over 577 battles. Two strong favorable counters like these give Clancy real value as a targeted pick against comps that lean on those two brawlers.

Where Clancy has a clear disadvantage is against Wendy: their win rate drops to 41.2% across the 38 battles recorded for that matchup. If Wendy shows up on the enemy team, consider not picking Clancy 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 Clancy the samples range from 7 to 669 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 Clancy 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 Clancy 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 Clancy 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, Clancy performs best in Brawl Ball, with a 66.8% win rate over 1,155 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 Clancy 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, Clancy's win rate dropped from 74.9% to 63.5%, a fall of −11.4 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 Clancy, usually from a rotation of maps or a rising counter.

Compared with the rest of the roster, that move leaves Clancy falling below 20% of brawlers with a measurable trend this week — they're at the bottom end of those losing ground. It doesn't mean they're unplayable, but it's worth waiting for the next map rotation before prioritizing their investment.

Every percentage on the Clancy page comes from real battles played by the world's top players, aggregated with statistical smoothing and 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.
