Brawlhalla Weapon Tier List Visualization

⚔️ The weapon meta in Brawlhalla is constantly evolving with each patch. Based on the latest tournament results and ladder data from Diamond+ ranked games, we've categorized all weapons into five tiers: S (overpowered), A (strong), B (balanced), C (situational), and D (needs buffs).

S-Tier: Meta-Defining Weapons

Rocket Lance

Win Rate: 54.7% Tournament Use: 32%

The Lance dominates with incredible range and priority. Its aerial game is unmatched, and recent buffs to recovery frames make it terrifying in the current meta. Perfect for controlling space and edge-guarding.

Orb

Win Rate: 53.9% Tournament Use: 28%

Orb's versatility makes it S-tier. With excellent zoning, combo potential, and recovery options, it has few weaknesses. The recent slight nerf didn't diminish its dominance in high-level play.

A-Tier: Strong & Competitive

Gauntlets

Win Rate: 52.1% Tournament Use: 25%

Gauntlets remain a top choice for aggressive players. Their string potential is incredible, though they struggle against certain zoning weapons. Requires high skill to master but rewards with devastating combos.

Spear

Win Rate: 51.8% Tournament Use: 22%

Spear's consistent neutral game and great hitboxes keep it in A-tier. While not as flashy as S-tier weapons, it's reliable in all matchups and has excellent kill options with slight reads.

B-Tier: Balanced & Viable

Scythe

Win Rate: 50.3% Tournament Use: 18%

Scythe requires exceptional skill but offers incredible string potential. Its popularity has decreased slightly in the current meta but remains a threat in the right hands.

Weapon Matchup Analysis

Understanding weapon matchups is crucial for climbing the ranked ladder. Our data shows that Rocket Lance has a 57% win rate against Sword but struggles against Orb at only 48%. This section breaks down the most important matchups in the current meta.

Tournament vs Ladder Meta

Interestingly, weapon performance differs significantly between tournament play and ranked ladder. Orb sees 28% usage in tournaments but only 18% on ladder, indicating a higher skill ceiling. Meanwhile, Sword maintains consistent popularity across both environments at 22-24%.

Future Meta Predictions

Based on current trends and developer comments, we expect hammer to receive buffs in the next balance patch, potentially moving it from C-tier to B-tier. The weapon has been underperforming in tournament play despite having dedicated mains.

Solid tier list! As a tournament player, I mostly agree but would place Gauntlets in S-tier alongside Lance. Their combo potential is just too good in the current patch.
