What the data says about Beach Ball

Beach Ball is one of the Brawl Ball maps with the most recorded battles in our sample: 2,728 high-level games over the last 14 days, with 102 different brawlers seen on it. This page ranks those brawlers by their real win rate on this specific map, not by their average performance across the game, which is the figure that usually leads to bad picks.

The 2,728 battles in the 14-day window spread that sample across 102 brawlers, so the top of the ranking is backed by dozens of games each rather than by a handful of isolated cases. Every row shows its own count so you can judge how reliable the figure is without leaving the page.

The best picks on this map

The best brawler on Beach Ball is Wendy, with a 85.5% win rate across 528 battles recorded on this map. It is the first option to consider when this rotation comes around, and also the pick most worth banning or countering if the enemy team gets there first.

The figure for Wendy needs some nuance: although it leads this map, across Brawl Ball as a whole it performs even better, at 87.4%, so Beach Ball costs it 1.9 points against its own average. It tops the ranking because the map punishes everyone else more than it punishes them, not because this is its best ground.

The second option is Nori, with 77.1% across 180 battles, 8.4 points behind the leader. When the distance between the first and second pick is that short, the choice depends more on the enemy composition and on the rest of your team than on the map itself.

Max closes the podium at 70.3%. Having three clear options instead of just one makes Beach Ball a comfortable map to draft on: if the first one gets banned, you are not left without a plan.

The most picked brawler on Beach Ball is not necessarily the best: it is Wendy, present in 528 battles, 19.4% of every game recorded on the map. The distance between what is most picked and what actually works is usually where the edge is, because most players repeat a pick out of habit rather than out of data.

Beach Ball is a polarised map: there are 36.3 percentage points between the best and the worst brawler in the ranking. On a map like this the draft matters more than mechanics, and bringing a pick from the bottom of the table is giving away an advantage before the game starts.

Brawlers that perform worse on Beach Ball

Gale29 battles49.2%Sam14 battles50%Gray38 battles50%

The worst record on the map belongs to Gale, who stays at a 49.2% win rate across 29 battles on Beach Ball. It is not a bad brawler: this ground neutralises what it usually excels at, so there are better options almost every time.

Just above it comes Sam at 50%, so it is worth keeping on the radar too before confirming your pick.

These bottom placements are as useful as the top ones: knowing what not to bring to Beach Ball avoids more losses than nailing the best pick, especially in Brawl Ball, where a bad selection is paid for across the whole game and not just in the first fight.

How Brawl Ball is played

In Brawl Ball the win goes to whoever scores two goals, and that makes control of the central lane and the ability to clear it the two decisive skills. Brawlers that push, shove or lock down perform above their average, while those with sustained damage and no control fall behind. That is the lens for reading the Beach Ball ranking.

Beach Ball rotates in and out of the official Brawl Ball rotation every few days. This page does not depend on it being active right now: the ranking is computed over recent history, so it remains the best reference available the day the map shows up again.

Every percentage comes from real high-level battles sampled continuously, aggregated over a rolling 14-day window and adjusted with Bayesian smoothing. That adjustment avoids the classic false positive: a brawler with three games and three wins does not show up at 100%, but close to the average, until it builds up the sample to back it.
