Trunk

Who is Trunk

Trunk is a Chromatic-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, Trunk has shown up in 5,678 battles with a global win rate of 71.4% and a pick rate of 0.7%. That pick rate is the share of matches where a top-PRO player chose Trunk out of every available brawler, so it works as a thermometer for how meta they are right now.

Across the full roster, Trunk's trend is among the weakest: their win rate is falling below 0% 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.

Trunk is a Chromatic brawler, originally tied to the seasonal Brawl Pass and now folded into the general collection. These brawlers were designed with very strong kits at release, so many remain meta several seasons later even after nerfs. Their presence in PRO tournaments depends heavily on map rotation and the current state of the counters that usually answer them.

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 Trunk

The best map for Trunk is Canal Grande in Bounty, with a Bayesian-adjusted win rate of 75.9% over 256 battles. That puts them above their class average in this mode, so it's worth picking Trunk when that rotation is live. A strong run on Canal Grande usually combines favorable geometry (short ranges or cover) and a mode whose objective plays into the brawler's kit.

Trunk's performance is highly map-dependent: there are 39.1 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, Trunk also performs well on Nutmeg (Brawl Ball) with a 75.3% win rate, only 0.6 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, Trunk holds a 74.3% win rate on Sidetrack (Brawl Ball) over 398 battles. Having three competitive maps widens the rotation windows worth bringing them in for, not just their signature map.

Just above their worst result, Trunk also struggles on Arabesque, where their win rate sits at 37.7%. Keep this map on your radar as a second warning sign when deciding the pick.

On the opposite end, Golden Bay (Hot Zone) drops Trunk's win rate to 36.8%. That's the bottom tail of a 39.1-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

Trunk clearly dominates the matchup against Colt: across the 658 recorded battles for that pairing, their win rate climbs to 76.6%. If you spot Colt on the enemy team in draft, that lane is an edge for Trunk — seek the duel out rather than avoid it.

Their second-best matchup is against Shelly, where Trunk holds a 75.5% win rate over 199 battles. Two strong favorable counters like these give Trunk real value as a targeted pick against comps that lean on those two brawlers.

Where Trunk has a clear disadvantage is against Barley: their win rate drops to 64.5% across the 77 battles recorded for that matchup. If Barley shows up on the enemy team, consider not picking Trunk or changing the game plan to avoid the shared lane, because Barley wins that exchange.

Per-brawler matchups are the smallest-sample metric on the page: for Trunk the samples range from 77 to 714 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 Trunk 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 Trunk 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 Trunk 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, Trunk performs best in Brawl Ball, with a 72.9% win rate over 2,689 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 Trunk 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, Trunk's win rate dropped from 77.5% to 54.5%, a fall of −22.9 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 Trunk, usually from a rotation of maps or a rising counter.

Compared with the rest of the roster, that move leaves Trunk falling below 0% 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 Trunk 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.
