CLANCY

Who is CLANCY

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

Over the 30-day window, CLANCY has shown up in 944 battles with a global win rate of 68.5%. 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, CLANCY has 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. It uses the long window on purpose, because a brawler's popularity shifts more slowly than their win rate.

The two figures for CLANCY tell different things. The observed win rate, 68.5%, measures how often it wins in the hands of a top 200 player from its country. The discounted strength, 41.9%, 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, CLANCY takes rank 84 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.

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. Opening fights up close is someone else's job. This is the brawler 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 Snake Pit in Gem Grab, with a Bayesian-adjusted win rate of 82.7% over 31 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 Snake Pit 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 24.2 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 Deathcap Trap (Gem Grab) with a 81.2% win rate, only 1.4 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, CLANCY holds a 78.3% win rate on Sneaky Fields (Brawl Ball) over 51 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 Pinhole Punt, where their win rate sits at 60.2%. Keep this map on your radar as a second warning sign when deciding the pick.

On the opposite end, Slippery Showdown (Brawl Hockey) drops CLANCY's win rate to 58.5%. That's the bottom tail of a 24.2-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 BROCK: across the 38 recorded battles for that pairing, their win rate climbs to 81.5%. If you spot BROCK 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 78.9% win rate over 91 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 GUS: their win rate drops to 53.7% across the 90 battles recorded for that matchup. If GUS shows up on the enemy team, consider not picking CLANCY or changing the game plan to avoid the shared lane, because GUS wins that exchange.

Per-brawler matchups are the smallest-sample metric on the page: for CLANCY the samples range from 33 to 96 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 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 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 70.6% win rate over 975 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 moved from 67.3% to 71.3%, a climb of +3.9 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 CLANCY's favor, usually from a rotation of maps or modes where they perform better.

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.
