Avg KDA
1.23Gekko
1.24Astra
The KDA comparison between Gekko and Astra reveals an exceptionally tight contest, with Gekko averaging 1.23 and Astra posting 1.24. This razor-thin margin of just 0.02 demonstrates that neither agent has a systematic fragging advantage in this matchup. When facing each other in ranked games, success depends almost entirely on individual player mechanics, crosshair placement, and split-second decision making rather than any inherent agent kit advantage. Players on either side should approach these duels with confidence, knowing the statistical playing field is level.
Avg Kills
14.5Gekko
13.0Astra
Gekko substantially outfrags Astra in this matchup, averaging 14.5 kills compared to 13.0 — a difference of nearly 1.5 eliminations per match. When Gekko faces Astra, the data clearly shows Gekko finding more fragging opportunities and converting them into kills. Astra players should recognize this statistical reality and adjust their approach: play more supportively, focus on enabling teammates, and avoid ego-challenging Gekko in situations where your team doesn't need you to take that duel.
Avg Deaths
15.5Gekko
15.5Astra
Survivability metrics are nearly equal between Gekko (15.5 deaths/game) and Astra (15.5 deaths/game). Neither agent demonstrates a clear advantage in staying alive during these matchups, suggesting both have similar risk profiles and neither kit provides notably better escape tools or defensive utility against the other. Round outcomes in this matchup hinge on which player makes fewer critical positioning errors rather than any agent-based survival advantage.
DMG/Round
120.4Gekko
111.5Astra
Gekko applies 8.8 more damage per round than Astra in this matchup (120.4 vs 111.5 ADR). While not overwhelming, this gap compounds meaningfully over a full match: Gekko contributes noticeably more chip damage, assists, and near-kills that set up teammates. Astra can close this gap through better trading patterns, ensuring their damage leads to actual eliminations rather than just tagging opponents who then escape or get healed.
HS %
40.7%Gekko
30.9%Astra
The headshot percentage disparity between Gekko and Astra is substantial: 40.7% compared to 30.9%, a 9.8 point difference. Gekko consistently displays far superior aim precision in this matchup, turning potential trades into clean kills and surviving encounters that would kill less accurate players. For Astra, challenging Gekko in a fair aim duel is statistically unwise. Success requires creating unfair fights — off-angles, utility combinations, multi-person pressure — where Gekko's aim advantage cannot fully manifest.

Attack Side Breakdown
Gekko demonstrates a modest attack-side advantage over Astra in this matchup, converting 55.0% of attacking rounds versus 52.3%. While this 2.7 point edge gives Gekko slightly better site-taking capability, the gap remains narrow enough that skilled Astra players can overcome it through superior execution and team play.
The data from 4 competitive games suggests Gekko's kit provides marginally better tools for attack-side scenarios. This could manifest as slightly more effective entry utility, better post-plant stalling, or superior mid-round adaptability. However, Astra teams shouldn't dramatically alter their attacking approach — instead, focus on tightening execute timing, coordinating utility chains more precisely, and ensuring trades are happening when entries fail. Small improvements in team coordination can easily overcome a 2.7% gap.
When taking entry duels, Gekko holds a slight statistical advantage but nothing that should change fundamental approach. Astra players should still take confident entries when they have good information or utility support. The key adjustment is ensuring you're not taking unnecessary 50-50 duels — look for angles where you have an advantage through utility, information, or teammate support. Gekko can play slightly more aggressively on entries, knowing the statistics marginally favor them.

In post-plant situations, Gekko's slight advantage likely stems from better utility for denying defuses or controlling retake angles. Astra should compensate by being more deliberate about post-plant positioning — take spots that offer escape routes or trade potential rather than hero plays. Stack post-plants with teammates when possible, and use utility efficiently to maximize delay time. The 2.7 point gap can be neutralized through smart post-plant fundamentals.
Defense Side Breakdown
Gekko shows slightly better defensive capabilities than Astra, winning 47.7% of defense rounds compared to 45.0%. This 2.7 percentage point edge suggests Gekko's kit provides marginally better tools for CT-side play, though the gap remains small enough for skilled Astra players to overcome.
When deciding site assignments, Gekko can slightly more confidently take solo anchor roles. Their 2.7% defensive advantage likely stems from better stalling utility, superior information gathering, or more effective site-holding positions. Astra should consider pairing with a teammate on their site rather than solo anchoring, or taking positions that allow early rotates rather than committing to extended holds. The advantage is small but worth considering in close games.
Gekko demonstrates marginally better retake capability in this matchup. Whether through superior clearing utility, better post-plant positioning, or stronger clutch mechanics, Gekko converts retakes at a slightly higher rate. Astra should focus on retaking with numbers — don't take hero 1v1 retakes against Gekko when you can wait for teammates. Gekko can be slightly more confident in isolated retake situations, knowing the statistics marginally favor them.
On eco and force buy rounds, the 2.7% gap becomes more pronounced as utility advantages compound. Astra should be more conservative with eco aggression against Gekko and prioritize saving for full buys where team utility can compensate for individual disadvantages. Gekko can play slightly more aggressively on force buys, knowing their defensive kit provides small but meaningful advantages even with limited economy.
Overall Side Analysis
Gekko holds clear advantages on both attack (55.0%) and defense (47.7%), establishing themselves as the superior choice in the Gekko vs Astra matchup regardless of map side. This consistency across both halves means Gekko doesn't need to play for specific sides or rely on winning a particular half to succeed.
Gekko's advantage holds across all map types and team compositions. Whether on attack-sided, defense-sided, or balanced maps, Gekko performs better. Astra teams should consider compositions that can cover their weaknesses — pair Astra with strong fragging agents who can carry during their difficult matchup encounters, and ensure utility supports Astra's positioning.
For ranked climbing specifically, Gekko is the objectively better pick in this matchup. If you're equally comfortable on both agents and frequently face this matchup, practicing Gekko provides a measurable ranked advantage. Astra players should focus on team play, utility value, and avoiding direct Gekko confrontations rather than trying to outfrag them.
The verdict is clear: Gekko wins this matchup on both sides of the map. The combined 5.5 percentage point advantage across attack and defense represents a meaningful statistical edge. Astra isn't unplayable, but faces an uphill battle requiring stronger team support and more disciplined play to compete.
Initiator vs Controller Dynamics
The Initiator (Gekko) vs Controller (Astra) dynamic creates asymmetric encounters where each agent brings fundamentally different tools to engagements. Gekko's Initiator abilities serve different purposes than Astra's Controller kit, meaning direct fights often feature non-equivalent utility exchanges.
Understanding how Initiator abilities interact with Controller counterplay is essential for maximizing your agent's potential. Gekko's Initiator toolkit may excel at certain aspects while Astra's Controller kit counters others. The Gekko advantage suggests their role's capabilities translate better to winning these cross-role encounters on average.
Gekko vs Astra matchup breakdown: Gekko dominates with a 75.0% win rate across 4 matches. Higher damage output (120 ADR) gives Gekko a clear edge. See attack/defense stats and combat analysis.
