The goal of this Tier List is to inform players regardinghow strong Heroes are in the current metagame on Braxis Holdout.

Braxis Holdout is a 2-lane Map with 1 Boss Camp, 2 Bruiser Camps, and 2 Siege Camps.You cannot double-soakand being global can be useful for ganks.Due to the nature of the Objective, it is quite important to havea sutain Healerrather than a burst one.A solid Offlaner who is hard to gank helps too.Avoid late game Heroes.Mercenary Camps are not a priority here, but they can still be useful.

Heroes that do better on this Map compared to their overall rankinghave an upward pointing arrow and name in greenwhereas Heroes that do worse on this Map compared to their overall rankinghave a downward pointing arrow and name in red.You can see their overall ranking in ourGeneral Tier List.

In order to better represent what kind of Heroes are needed in a solid team composition,we list Offlaners (unofficial Role which includes Heroesfrom various official Roles) instead of Bruisers.

If a given Hero can be played in multiple Roles (for example Tankand Offlaner), we mention them multiple timesbecause each of their Roles may belong to a different tier.

Heroes that are generally worth banning at the beginning of the draft have been marked with a red borderand a BAN label, however, in some circ*mstances it may be better to ban other Heroes instead,either to target-ban a player and/or to remove a counter to Heroes your team will pick.

In this tier you can find overpowered Heroes that will do great in most games.

Hogger is a well-rounded Bruiserwho can clear Minions and Mercenaries efficiently and dish outa solid amount of damage against Heroes during team fights,especially in the late game.

Mephisto is the most powerful Ranged Assassinin the game when it comes to damage done to enemy Heroes in team fights, however,he does not excel at macro, especially at capturing Mercenaries.Avoid unnecessary team fights and spread when fighting against him.

Rehgar is currently a solid Healerwho can provide a balanced mix of sustainand burst healing, with the abilityto quickly clear Minions and Mercenaries.

Valla is a formidable Ranged Assassinwho can deal an insane amount of damage to anyone, including Tanks.Due to her low durability, she loves to be paired with Supportsor to have a second Healer.

In this tier you can find strong Heroes that will perform well in a lot of games.

Garrosh is a threatening Tankwho can easily punish enemy Heroes who get too close to him,especially in the early game.Always pay attention to nearby bushes and dismount himas soon as possible.

Johanna is not only the most durable Tankin the whole game but she can also provide a good amount ofcrowd control to disrupt enemy plansand help her teammates in team fights.

At the cost of being not that strong in team fights, Samuro has one of the bestkits for playing macro (self-sustain,good waveclear, escape tools).

In this tier you can find good Heroes that will generally be fine but not that strong.

Thrall is not a great Offlanerbecause he does not have a lot of waveclear,however, he can do fine on Maps where that is not a big weakness(notably Battlefield of Eternity).

In this tier you can find situational Heroes that will only do well in some circ*mstances.

Arthas can be played as Offlaneragainst melee Heroes who rely on Basic Attacks and cannot deal with Frozen Tempest because they lackmobility tools to disengage whenever they want.

E.T.C. can be played as Offlanerby picking Stage Dive and using it to join allied Heroesafter taking care of a side lane. This strategy is particularly good on big Maps,where global Heroes are valuable.

Even though she does not have self-sustain,Johanna has enough waveclearto be played as Offlaner on bigger Maps,where the offlane matchup is not that important.

Uther can be drafted as Tankto enable a powerful Melee Assassin (for exampleKerrigan) or Ranged Assassin (notablyValla) to deal more damage.

In this tier you can find weak Heroes that will do poorly in most games.

Thanks to his high waveclearand decent mobility, Rehgarcan also be played as Offlaner.When appropriate, he can also capture Mercenaries with ease,but that also applies when being played as Healer.

Important! Ranged Assassins should be pickedas Offlaner only when you have a favorable matchup in lane,you are not exposed to ganks (for example Genji),and your team composition has a solid and powerful Bruiser(such as Yrel) or a durable and high-damageMelee Assassin (for example Thrall) the 4-manto help with vision, flanks, and peeling in team fights.
