Manual CuratedFull class and spec recommendations for the current US Battleground Blitz field
Full manual spec board with live ladder context.
This is the manual strategy layer: a full class and spec board with sleeper specs, counter-meta angles, and lab picks reviewed against the current field instead of blindly mirroring it.

How To Read AI
What the recommendation lanes mean
A real ladder candidate with enough current performance to justify reps, while still being underprepared for by the field.
Not fully hidden, but positioned to punish what players are currently prioritizing, drafting, or over-respecting.
A comp or map-dependent disruption angle. Strong when used on purpose, but not the safest default if you just want autopilot games.
This page is updated manually through Codex when you ask. The live tracker stats refresh on their normal schedule, but the recommendation text itself only changes when we curate a new full board.

Outlaw wins by stretching the game sideways with disarms, control chains, and constant target pivots instead of leaning on one scripted opener.
Field Share2%

Avg Rating2,168

Why It Can Flip Prep
Most teams still prep first for Subtlety opener math or Assassination rot, so Outlaw gets extra room to own the pace.
Risk
If uptime and swap calls are messy, it turns into noise without real kill pressure.
