Ranked is a competitive mode unlocked from the Trophy Road at 1000 Trophies. It replaced Power League in the February 2024 update. In Ranked, only Brawlers that are Power Level 9 and above can be played. Players can progress to higher ranks, or drop to lower ranks, based on the outcome of each Ranked match.
Ranked seasons coincide with Brawl Pass seasons, and every player's rank is reset when a new season begins. Ranked matches grant at least twice as much XP compared to regular matches. Trophies cannot be gained or lost in this mode.

Gameplay
In a Ranked match, the player will play a random mode with a random map and a random modifier. Both teams have a Team Captain, which is either decided by the player with the highest progression, or by the creator of the game room. Games in a match are played on a single randomly selected mode, map and modifier that are picked when players are in queue. Maps and modifiers can be previewed throughout the matchmaking stages.
From the Bronze I to Gold III Tiers, similar to Mega Pig, each player on both teams blindly picks a Brawler, and equips any Star Powers, Gadgets, and Gears without any extra delay prior to starting the match. From Diamond I to Masters Tiers, Ranked matches are formatted as a best-of-three tournament (like Power League) where the first team to win two matches wins the tournament. Prior to starting the match, each player on both teams bans a Brawler at the same time without seeing the other team's bans, then players pick Brawlers in a snake draft format. Players cannot pick Brawlers that have already been banned or picked by another player. After all Brawlers are picked, each player has 10 seconds to choose Star Powers, Gadgets, and Gears if applicable.
Players are matched based on their current Ranked Score. The higher the Ranked Score of your opponents, the more progress you earn. Players can queue solo, in a team of two, or in a team of three. In a team of two, players can only team up in Duos with other players that are within three Tiers. For example, a Mythic I player can only team up with another player from Diamond I to Legendary I. In a team of three, teams can only be matched when they are within two Tiers or less. Once a player reaches a new Ranked Tier, they cannot get demoted below that Rank. For example, once players get to Mythic I, they cannot drop to Diamond III, but they can still be demoted from Mythic II to Mythic I.
Players who reach Masters Rank are given an absolute Rank number, based on their Ranked Score, and they appear in the Global leaderboard of the current season for all players in Masters Rank.
Seasons
Every month, a season ends and the next one begins. At the end of every season, your rank resets to Bronze I. However, you receive a boost until you reach the highest Tier you reached the previous season. Players are rewarded with Ranked Starr Drops, or sometimes Mythic or Legendary Starr Drops, upon reaching new Ranked tiers. Ranked Starr Drops contain one reward, such as Bling and cosmetics from previous Power League and Ranked seasons. If a player does not get the Ranked skin of the current season from Ranked Starr Drops, it will appear in the Catalog after the season ends. Exclusive battle card backgrounds are available for players who promoted to a new Rank for the current season.
Battle Cards
Modifiers

Reporting System
The Reporting System is a feature that allows the player to report other players from their own and the enemy team at the end of a Ranked match for intentionally disrupting the gaming experience for everyone involved. There are three types of report that can be made, which are Grief Play, Cheating and Bad Random. The maximum number of reports that can be sent daily is 10.
Reputation Meter
Each player has an individual Reputation Meter. The Reputation will drop when they get reported for Grief Play or Cheating, or leave a Ranked match. When their Reputation has dropped enough, they will get a Yellow Card, warning them that more penalties will result in suspension from Ranked matches, and when their Reputation has dropped very low, they will get prevented from playing Ranked matches for 3 hours. Players can only recover Reputation for each Ranked game where they didn't get reported.
