S tier — best picks
-
Bolt
Extreme mobility bypasses side chokes, isolates carriers, and escapes safely with stolen gems.
-
Damian
Speaker walls trap enemies around the mine and turn narrow approaches into bounce chains.
-
Starr Nova
Near-instant projectiles win narrow lanes; her transformation dash executes exposed gem carriers.
-
Clancy
Short approaches let him charge tokens quickly, then lock down the central mine.
-
Colette
Percent damage checks tanky choke rushes, while pushback protects the team's gem carrier.
A tier — strong picks
B tier — solid picks
Best bans
-
Bolt
Fresh map feeds repeatedly place his armored rush among the strongest mine initiations.
-
Damian
Wall-stun pressure is oppressive in narrow lanes despite his limited counter breadth.
-
Starr Nova
Top live map pick whose transformation punishes teams funneled through either approach.
-
Stu
Nineteen-counter breadth plus chained dashes can invalidate most lane and carrier choices.
-
Mortis
Seventeen-counter breadth and high-trophy usage punish fragile control backlines.
