The tier lists and data powering BrawlRank's aggregated rankings. Open each source to see what it is, why it is weighted that way, and who or what it relies on.
Methodology
How we calculate the meta rankings.
Source weights prioritize objectivity: Data sources receive the highest weights — Noff.gg (1.5×) and MmonsteR (1.3×). Pro players SpenLC and KairosTime receive 1.0×. BobbyBS and HMBLE receive 0.8×. Creator Ash receives 0.7×. Editorial source Driffle (0.4×) and community votes BrawlTime (0.3×) receive the lowest weights, as perception and competitive reality often diverge.
Noff.gg source merge: Noff.gg provides two data slices — Top 200 leaderboard performance and Ranked Mode statistics. BrawlRank merges these into a single source by averaging both tier scores per brawler. This prevents double-counting while preserving the breadth of Noff's data coverage across both elite and ranked play.
Disagreement metric: For each brawler, BrawlRank calculates the standard deviation (σ) of unweighted source scores. A σ below 0.80 indicates strong consensus, 0.80–1.49 indicates moderate consensus, and 1.50 or above indicates weak consensus where the tier should be interpreted with caution. This metric uses unweighted scores so that genuine disagreement between source types is visible regardless of weight differences.
About BrawlRank
What is BrawlRank?
BrawlRank is the most comprehensive Brawl Stars tier list aggregator on the web. Instead of relying on a single creator's opinion or one data source, BrawlRank combines rankings from 9 independent sources across three categories: empirical data platforms that track win rates and pick rates from the world's top 200 players, professional players and content creators who bring competitive expertise and tournament-level insight, and community voting platforms that capture the broader playerbase's perception of brawler strength.
The result is a single, objectivity-driven meta ranking for every brawler in Brawl Stars, updated weekly to reflect balance patches, meta shifts, and new brawler releases. BrawlRank currently tracks all 104 brawlers across 6 tiers (S through F), with each brawler's score calculated as a weighted average from all available sources.
Why aggregation matters
No single source tells the complete story. Data sources like Noff.gg and MmonsteR provide objective win/pick rate statistics, but can be misleading for niche brawlers with small sample sizes or during rapid meta shifts. Pro players like SpenLC and KairosTime capture competitive nuances that statistics miss — which brawlers are being practiced in scrims, which ones collapse under coordinated pressure — but their opinions carry personal biases and playstyle preferences. Community votes reflect popular perception, which often diverges from competitive reality.
By blending all three perspectives with objectivity-driven weights (data sources receive the highest weights at 1.3x–1.5x, pro opinions at 0.7x–1.0x, and community sources at 0.3x–0.4x), BrawlRank produces a tier list that is more accurate and stable than any individual source alone. The disagreement metric (standard deviation) for each brawler shows where sources agree and where they diverge, helping players interpret placements with appropriate confidence.
How to use BrawlRank

A Tier brawlers are excellent choices that perform well across most game modes. B Tier brawlers are solid and reliable. C and D Tier brawlers are more situational or underpowered, and F Tier brawlers are struggling in the current meta.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about how BrawlRank works, how often the rankings update, and what the current Brawl Stars meta means.
What is the best brawler in Brawl Stars right now?
As of April 30, 2026, the current S Tier brawlers on BrawlRank are Crow, Mortis, Damian, Leon, Pierce. These brawlers scored at least 5.50 out of 6.00 across 9 independent sources, so they represent the strongest overall picks in the current meta.
How does BrawlRank calculate tier rankings?
BrawlRank collects tier lists from data platforms, pro players, creator roundups, and community voting. Each rating is converted from a letter tier into a numeric score from 6 to 1, source-specific weights are applied, and the final weighted average determines each brawler's tier placement.
How often is BrawlRank updated?
BrawlRank is updated weekly and usually refreshed within a few days of a major balance patch or clear meta shift. The current published dataset is marked April 30, 2026.
What sources does BrawlRank use?
The current model blends 9 sources: Ash, KairosTime, BobbyBS, Noff.gg, SpenLC, MmonsteR, Driffle, BrawlTime Votes, HMBLE. Data-heavy sources receive the most weight, while editorial and community signals are included at lower weight so the ranking stays grounded in competitive performance.
What do the tiers mean on BrawlRank?
S Tier marks the strongest meta-defining brawlers. A Tier covers strong picks that fit many maps and drafts. B and C Tier represent playable but more situational choices, while D and F Tier indicate weaker options that need favorable maps, comps, or balance changes to stand out.
Why do some brawlers show weak consensus across sources?
Weak consensus means the sources disagree more than usual about a brawler. That usually happens when a brawler is highly map-dependent, has a steep skill ceiling, or performs differently in pro play versus ranked ladder games.
Is BrawlRank the same as any single pro player tier list?
No. BrawlRank is an aggregate model for April 2026, not a copy of any one opinion. It uses pro lists as inputs, but combines them with data sources and community sentiment to produce one blended ranking.
