How to win Knockout

Knockout is best of three rounds with no respawns inside a round. Defeat all three enemies to take the round; if the timer runs low, poison closes in and forces the fight.

  • Every life matters, so brawlers with range, burst and a safe escape top this list.
  • Spend the first seconds of a round on poke and positioning, not on all-in dives.
  • A one-player advantage usually wins the round: once ahead, close the angles and wait for the poison.

3 Controllers, 3 Supports, 2 Marksmen make up most of the 12 brawlers in S and A tier right now.
