Best brawlers for Deathcap Trap in Gem Grab

What the data says about Deathcap Trap

Deathcap Trap is one of the Gem Grab maps with the most recorded battles in our sample: 145 high-level games over the last 14 days, with 34 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 sample for Deathcap Trap is still short: 145 recorded battles. The percentages below are already useful as a guide, but read them as a trend rather than a settled number; as the sampler keeps adding games, the order of the top spots will stabilise.

The best picks on this map

The best brawler on Deathcap Trap is MAX, with a 73.9% win rate across 22 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.

What is interesting about MAX here is not the absolute number but the gap: across the rest of the Gem Grab maps it sits at 63.6%, so Deathcap Trap adds 10.3 percentage points. That jump is the sign that the map specifically favours its kit, not that it is a strong brawler in general.

The second option is CHARLIE, with 64% across 30 battles, 9.9 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.

8-BIT closes the podium at 58.7%. Having three clear options instead of just one makes Deathcap Trap a comfortable map to draft on: if the first one gets banned, you are not left without a plan.

The most picked brawler on Deathcap Trap is not necessarily the best: it is CHARLIE, present in 30 battles, 20.7% 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.

Deathcap Trap is a polarised map: there are 15.2 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 Deathcap Trap

There is not enough sample yet to confidently point out which brawlers perform worst on Deathcap Trap. We only publish the bottom tail when the ranking has enough depth for the best and the worst to be genuinely separate groups instead of overlapping.

How Gem Grab is played

In Gem Grab the objective outranks the kills: the win goes to whoever holds ten gems through the countdown, not to whoever eliminates the most. That rewards brawlers who can control the centre and protect the carrier, and punishes those who need to look for duels away from the mine. On Deathcap Trap, read the ranking thinking about who holds the middle, not about who hits hardest.

Deathcap Trap rotates in and out of the official Gem Grab 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.
