Jacky is currently A-tier in Brawl Ball with a score of 84/100. As a Tank, Jacky absorbs frontline damage and creates space for teammates to push, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Brawl Ball.
Run Counter Crush as the default Star Power for Jacky — it works in most situations. Switch to Hardy Hard Hat on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Pneumatic Booster is the standard active pick; Rebuild is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
Jacky struggles against Emz and Barley, who can out-trade Jacky at the ranges or map types where Jacky is most exposed. On the flip side, Jacky consistently beats Nani and Brock.
Jacky performs best in Brawl Ball (A-tier, 84/100). The Tank kit — absorbs frontline damage and creates space for teammates to push — is directly rewarded in Brawl Ball, which is why Jacky climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Jacky pairs best with Poco and Byron. Since Jacky absorbs frontline damage and creates space for teammates to push, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Jacky well, focus on Brawl Ball where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Tank that absorbs frontline damage and creates space for teammates to push. Run Counter Crush as the core build, track Emz and Barley on the enemy team, and pair with Poco and Byron when possible.
Jacky spins her jackhammer in a damaging radius around her, dealing constant area damage to every enemy within melee range and charging her Super rapidly when multiple brawlers are caught in the spin. Her Super pulls all nearby opponents directly toward her, guaranteeing full melee damage and synergizing with her constant spinning attack. She dominates confined spaces in Brawl Ball and Hot Zone but needs to survive the approach against range brawlers.
Jacky's Super is most effective when multiple enemies are nearby to be pulled in simultaneously. Use walls and corners to force enemies into melee range rather than walking across open ground where long-range brawlers can freely punish you.
JACKY DEEP DIVES
Mode-specific stats and the top ranked Jacky players globally. Each page shows win rate, pick rate, best maps and tier for that specific combination.
Position between enemies and your team. Your value comes from soaking damage, not dealing it. Choose Counter Crush in most situations, switching to Hardy Hard Hat on maps where enemies can close distance. Charge your Super passively by staying in fights and engage with it to set up teammates, not to escape.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Emz or Barley. Both Pneumatic Booster and Rebuild are in your kit — learn which one punishes your counters versus which gives you an escape window. Use your Gadget early rather than saving it for a desperate moment.
MATCHUP
Best Team Shape
Pair Jacky with Poco or Byron when possible. Build toward Seismic Event in safe positions — it swings fights instantly, so activate it when your team has the edge, not when you are already behind.
