What's new

  1. Core Teams — league filter (All / G1 / G3)

    Combo rankings and counter-search can use the full Guardian mix or narrow to G1-only or G3-only games from the replay tags, so stats match the bracket you care about.

    Use case: You mostly play G1 and want cores that win there, without G3 one-tricks inflating pick rates — flip to G1, then sort by smoothed WR.

  2. Core Teams — counter comps vs. their draft

    Use Counter: opponent has and add the monsters they’re on (or you expect in RTA). The list switches to combos that actually won into that matchup in Guardian replays — real draft data, not guesswork.

    Use case: They lock a scary core (e.g. strip + control + threat) and you need team ideas that beat that comp in G1–G3 — filtered to what still shows a strong win rate in those games.

  3. Core Teams — monster box picker & “My monsters only”

    Hand-pick the units you own in a searchable monster box view (saved in your browser) or load SWExporter JSON — ownership filtering is one click away.

    Use case: Quickly hide every combo you can’t build so you only see realistic cores for your account.

  4. Draft Intel — G1–G3 vs G3-only

    Toggle whether pick rates, bans, gems/traps, and counters use all Guardian games or top-league only — same UI, two sample sizes.

    Use case: Rare monsters need the bigger pool; pure endgame meta questions (e.g. first-pick wars) are clearer on G3-only.

  5. Draft Strategy — round-by-round Guardian paths

    Lock your side and the enemy’s picks slot by slot; the tool surfaces what Guardian players actually chose next in matching situations (plus model suggestions where trained).

    Use case: “They took Seara + Oliver after my Ereshion — what do strong players pick third?” Practice concrete branches instead of guessing.

📊 From the current dataset

Ereshion is first-picked in roughly 1 out of every 6 Guardian games (16.7% FP rate). Seara at 9.3% and Xing Zhe at 8.1% are the next most contested openers. Those three alone account for about a third of all first picks at Guardian level.

The best duos in Guardian RTA hold 58–62% win rates over thousands of games. But add one wrong third pick and those same duos can drop below 50%. Team composition matters more than individual monster strength.

Explore Core Teams →

Ban rates tell a different story from pick rates. Some monsters are picked in 40%+ of games but rarely banned — they're strong but tolerable. Others appear in fewer games but get banned at 2–3x the rate. That gap reveals what top players truly fear.

See the Tier List →

Most Guardian drafts are decided by picks 4–7. The opener sets the theme, but the mid-draft counterpicks determine who wins. Players who adapt round-by-round win ~4% more games than those who autopilot the same 5 every time.

Owning the right 15 monsters covers 80%+ of top-tier comps. You don't need every nat5 — you need the right ones built. The Build Advisor cross-references your box against Guardian data to show exactly which builds would unlock the most comps for you.

Why I built this

😤

I got tired of guessing. The tier lists floating around are either paywalled, based on one person's ranked experience, or just copied from each other season after season. I wanted to know what actually wins at Guardian — not what a content creator thinks should win. So I started parsing replays.

🎯

Every number comes from real games. No opinion polls, no votes, no vibes. 348k+ Guardian matches, parsed and crunched. Win rates are smoothed to avoid small-sample flukes, and you can always check the game count behind any stat.

🗺

It's built for your box, not a whale's. Upload your SWExporter file and every tool filters to what you actually own. Core Teams shows combos you can draft. Build Advisor tells you what to build next. The whole site reshapes around your account.

⚠️ Heads up: data updates manually when new replays are exported — not real-time. Monsters with very few games will have unreliable win rates. Stats on niche picks should be taken with some skepticism.

About this project

Built by a Guardian RTA player. Started as a script to answer one question: what are the highest win-rate draft cores at the top of the ladder? Grew from there into something usable.

The data pipeline is manual — I export replays, run the analysis, and regenerate the pages. Not fancy, but the numbers are real G1–G3 games.
