Maisie is currently A-tier in Knockout with a score of 80/100. As a Damage Dealer, Maisie sustains high damage at mid range and wins straight-up duels, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Knockout.
Run Pinpoint Precision as the default Star Power for Maisie — it works in most situations. Switch to Tremors on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Disengage! is the standard active pick; Finish Them! is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
Maisie struggles against Piper and Nani, who can out-trade Maisie at the ranges or map types where Maisie is most exposed. On the flip side, Maisie consistently beats El Primo and Darryl.
Maisie performs best in Knockout (A-tier, 80/100). The Damage Dealer kit — sustains high damage at mid range and wins straight-up duels — is directly rewarded in Knockout, which is why Maisie climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Maisie pairs best with Gale and Emz. Since Maisie sustains high damage at mid range and wins straight-up duels, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Maisie well, focus on Knockout where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Damage Dealer that sustains high damage at mid range and wins straight-up duels. Run Pinpoint Precision as the core build, track Piper and Nani on the enemy team, and pair with Gale and Emz when possible.
Maisie fires rapid volleys and charges a railgun Super that shoots a piercing beam across the entire map, going through every brawler in its path for massive total damage. Her compact attack spread makes her effective at both crowd control and single-target focus. She is especially powerful in Knockout and Bounty where her railgun Super can hit two or three enemies lined up across the map.
Maisie's railgun Super hits all brawlers in a straight line, so watch for enemy clustering before firing rather than using it immediately when charged. Standing slightly to the side of the main fight path and timing the Super when enemies group near their own teammates multiplies the total damage enormously.

Hold mid range and maintain spacing. Advance during the enemy's reload, retreat during your own. Take Pinpoint Precision in most situations, switching to Tremors on maps where enemies can close distance. Force trades only when you are at full health.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Piper or Nani. Both Disengage! and Finish Them! 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 Maisie with Gale or Emz when possible. Build toward Aftermath in safe positions — it swings fights instantly, so activate it when your team has the edge, not when you are already behind.
