Rocks.D.Xebec leads the post-banlist field: share, win rate and who beats it
2026-10-27 · data write-up
Numbers as of 2026-10-27: written before snapshots were stored, so its window and n are not recorded. The live metagame is since the 2026-10-12 banlist took effect (2026-10-12 to 2026-11-04), n=842 players in 38 events, and may differ from the figures below.
The leader to beat since the banlist
The metagame window starts at the 2026-10-12 banlist and covers 24 events, 578 players and 110 top-cut lists. In that window Rocks.D.Xebec OP17-039 (Blue) has a 16.4% share of registered players in the metagame window (95 players). The next leader, Luffy & Ace ST30-001 (Red/Green), sits at 10.4%.
Xebec's share is also rising. Its last-7-day share is 18.2%, against 14.6% in the prior 7 days, a change of +3.5 points.
Popularity has not turned into dominance, though. Xebec's tournament win rate (non-mirror matches) is 54.0% on a record of 191-163-4, with a 95% interval of 49-59%. That interval is wide enough that the true figure could sit close to even.
Who does well against it
These are tournament matchup records against Xebec, as the brief gives them. Most are small samples, under 20 games, so read them as hints.
- Enel OP05-098 (Yellow): 18-9-1, a 66.7% matchup win rate. This is the best result among the commonly seen leaders. Enel's own tournament win rate is 56.3%, and its share moved from 5.6% to 7.1% in the last 7 days.
- Monkey.D.Luffy OP13-001 (Red/Green): 14-15-0, 48.3%. That is roughly even, a small sample.
- Buggy OP09-042 (Blue): 10-13-0, 43.5%, a small sample.
- Donquixote Rosinante OP12-061 (Purple/Yellow): 7-12-0, 36.8%, a small sample.
- Sabo OP13-004 (Red/Black): 9-16-0, 36.0%, a small sample.
Seen from Xebec's side, it has a 10-19-0 record (34.5%) against Monkey.D.Luffy OP17-079 (Black). That is also a small sample. Against Luffy & Ace it is 21-18-1 (53.8%), the most-played of these pairings, and close to even.
The biggest riser is a different leader
The largest share move in the window is not Xebec. Monkey.D.Luffy OP13-001 (Red/Green) went from 3.5% to 9.1% (+5.6 points) between the prior 7 days and the last 7. Its tournament win rate (non-mirror matches) is 58.4% on 73-52-0, the highest among the leaders listed, with an interval of 50-67%.

Takeaway
Xebec is the most played leader and is gaining share, but its win rate of 54.0% is only modestly above even. Enel's matchup record against it is the strongest signal in the data. Most of the other records are small samples, so treat them as leads, not conclusions. Data comes from tournament results since the banlist; see the site's sources page for method.
