Who counters Rico in Brawl Stars

Rico has unusually few decisive matchups. 38 of its tracked opponents fall inside the even band between 48% and 52%, which means the counter table is a weak lever for this brawler. Map and mode fit will move Rico's win rate more than the enemy composition will.

Measured from ranked and trophy battles over the last 20 days. Every row lists its sample size. Matchups below 30 decided games are excluded entirely.
