See what 50 high-rated Rated Battlegrounds characters are using, based on PvPLeaderboard’s EU and US rankings.

Where these stats come from

Starting at the top of the rankings, we work down until we have everything we need for 50 characters.

A character is ignored if their Battle.net profile is missing or incomplete, if they aren’t max level, or if their talents don’t fit the current talent tree.

Use this as a starting point, then adjust your setup for your bracket, comp, rating, and matchup.
