Best Marksmen by Game Mode

Best Marksmen for Heist

Brawler	Win Rate	Use Rate
Mandy	58.1%	0.98%
Nani	57.8%	0.29%
Pierce	56.4%	0.24%

Heist rewards Marksmen that can secure a lane and turn that control into sustained pressure. Mandy can anchor open sightlines and threaten defenders from beyond their comfortable range, while her Super can punish stacked defenses through terrain. Nani excels at landing heavy burst on predictable targets, while Pierce uses accurate shots and shell cycling to keep defenders under continuous pressure once he establishes position.

Best Marksmen for Gem Grab

Brawler	Win Rate	Use Rate
Pierce	55.7%	0.33%
Janet	55.9%	0.27%
Mandy	53.8%	0.45%

Gem Grab puts extra value on ranged control around the mine and the ability to protect or pressure a gem carrier. Pierce works well as a mid, using his long reach and empowered last shot to make approaching him risky. Janet offers safer repositioning when holding gems thanks to her Super, while Mandy can lock down long lanes and threaten carriers who expose themselves behind cover.

Best Marksmen for Brawl Ball

Brawler	Win Rate	Use Rate
Pierce	59.2%	0.46%
Maisie	59.2%	0.32%
Mandy	55.9%	0.36%

Brawl Ball rewards Marksmen that can deny direct approaches while still creating space for a push. Pierce’s empowered final shot and slow make him particularly effective at checking advancing ball carriers. Maisie brings valuable defensive control when enemies close the distance, with her Super creating breathing room around the goal. Mandy is strongest on open layouts, where her extended range can pin defenders back before an attack develops.

Best Marksmen for Hot Zone

Brawler	Win Rate	Use Rate
Pierce	53.7%	0.60%
Mandy	47.8%	0.57%
Nani	48.2%	0.42%

Hot Zone asks Marksmen to influence a fixed objective without necessarily standing inside it themselves. Pierce can pressure the edges of the zone and punish enemies forced into predictable approaches, while his last shot adds useful control against advancing targets. Mandy can hold long entry lanes from safety, and Nani provides concentrated ranged burst that makes exposed enemies think twice about remaining on the objective.

Best Marksmen for Knockout

Brawler	Win Rate	Use Rate
Pierce	60.8%	0.82%
Mandy	57.1%	1.81%
Maisie	58.9%	0.37%

Knockout puts a premium on securing picks without giving opponents an easy trade. Pierce can maintain long-range pressure while using his empowered last shot to make follow-up hits easier once he connects. Mandy excels at holding distant angles and can threaten enemies even through cover with her Super. Maisie punishes predictable movement at range while retaining a strong defensive answer when aggressive Brawlers manage to close in.

 

Conclusion

The August 2026 Marksman meta is highly dependent on where you play. Brock remains the strongest overall competitive recommendation, backed by excellent Ranked usage and strong agreement across multiple meta sources, while Piper, Pierce, and Mandy form a powerful second tier after the latest balance changes. Specialists such as Nani, Janet, Bea, and Maisie can still outperform their overall placement when the right mode and map favor their strengths.

Before investing resources into a Marksman, check both the overall tier list and the mode-specific results—one of the biggest lessons from the current data is that a lower-tier Marksman can become significantly stronger on the right map.
