In the Solo Showdown meta, Shelly leads with a Meta Score of 9.1/10. Wendy has the highest win rate at 73.8%, while Edgar is the most used at 10.06%. Bonnie is the most underrated brawler here: it ranks #8 by win rate but only #87 by use rate. That gap suggests its results are stronger than its popularity. Moe moved the most since the last update, climbing 51 ranks as the rest of the roster shifted around it. Every ranking on this page weighs win rate more heavily than raw popularity, so a widely picked brawler with a mediocre win rate does not automatically outrank one that is rarer but quietly wins more often. This view is built from 2,785,919 recorded brawler appearances across Solo Showdown.

About this tier list

This is the Solo Showdown tier list for September 2026. Showdown plays nothing like a team mode: there is no draft, no lane, and no teammate to bail you out. Solo Showdown rewards self-sufficient brawlers with strong late-game power spikes, since every fight in the closing circle is a 1v1 or worse. Win rate in Showdown is a top-half finish rate rather than a match win, since Showdown has no simple win or lose outcome. Every brawler here is scored the same way regardless of class, so a support and a tank can be compared directly by how much they win and get picked.

Computed from 2,785,919 battles BrawlMetrics counted itself over the last 7 days. Showdown is placement based, so the headline rate is the share of games finishing in the top positions rather than a win rate. The rate shown is a Wilson score lower bound, not the raw rate, so a small sample cannot outrank a large one on a hot streak. Composite score is 70% of that plus 30% use rate. Tiers are assigned by percentile of that score (S+ top 2%, S next 6%, A next 15%, B next 27%, C next 30%, D bottom 20%). Brawlers under 300 battles in this slice are marked Unranked rather than tiered on too little data, and a movement arrow is only shown when the previous 7 days also had at least 300 battles for that brawler.

This page pulls fresh battle data on a daily cycle, so tiers shift gradually as the metagame evolves rather than jumping around from a single unusual day of results. The same underlying pipeline feeds every mode, rank, and Showdown variant tier list on this site, so a brawler's tier here and its tier on a mode-specific page are always built from a consistent, comparable methodology, never two different formulas pretending to agree.

Tier List FAQ

What does win rate mean in Showdown?

Showdown has no simple win or lose outcome, so "win rate" here is a top-half finish rate: how often that brawler finishes in the top half of the lobby.

How is the tier list score calculated?

Each brawler gets a composite score: 70% a Wilson lower-bound win rate plus 30% use rate, both normalized against the rest of the brawlers in that same slice. The Wilson bound stops a brawler with very few games and a lucky streak from outranking one with a huge, reliable sample. Win rate is weighted more heavily than use rate on purpose: a brawler that a lot of players happen to pick is not automatically a strong one, but a brawler that wins consistently almost always deserves the higher tier.

How are S+ through D tiers assigned?

By percentile of the composite score, not fixed cutoffs: S+ is the top 2%, S the next 6%, A the next 15%, B the next 27%, C the next 30%, and D the bottom 20%. Percentiles keep every tier populated even as the numbers shift, so S+ never quietly empties out after a balance patch and D never quietly fills up with half the roster.

What do win rate and use rate mean?

Win rate is the share of recorded battles that brawler won, Wilson-adjusted for sample size. Use rate is how often that brawler was picked relative to every other brawler in the same slice. A brawler can have a great win rate on a small player base or a middling win rate across a huge one, which is exactly why both numbers are shown side by side instead of collapsing everything into one figure.

How often is this tier list updated?

The date at the top of every page is the exact time this data was last refreshed from a new scrape of recorded battles, shown next to the total number of battles that refresh was built from. Judge freshness by that date rather than by a promised schedule: it is the real timestamp of the data on the page, not the time the page was generated.

Why do some brawlers show as Unranked or New?

A brawler needs at least 1,000 recorded matches in a given slice to be tiered. Below that, the sample is too small to trust, so it is shown separately instead of forced into a tier. This most often catches a brawler recently released, or an older brawler that is simply rare in this specific mode or rank.
