52.0% of Cordelius's star power picks go to Mushroom Kingdom. Star powers ride along with the Super rather than working on their own, so the choice follows how the brawler uses it. The other option, Comboshrooms, sits at 48.0%. Replanting is the gadget of choice at 57.0% pick rate. Unlike a star power, a gadget is triggered on its own rather than with the Super, and it can be used as often as you like once its cooldown is up. Poison Mushroom is the alternative at 43.0%. On gear, Cordelius players favor SHIELD (37.4%), with DAMAGE (36.5%) close behind. Gears offer a smaller boost than a star power or gadget, so this is the fine-tuning slot of the build.

About Cordelius

Gardener and caretaker of the Enchanted Forest. Obsesses over mushrooms and is hostile towards strangers.

The standard Cordelius setup is Mushroom Kingdom plus Replanting, the combination running in roughly 52.0% of builds. Cordelius currently sits at C-tier, with its strongest results coming in Knockout at a 59.2% win rate. Cordelius holds the #84 spot among 106 ranked brawlers in the current meta. Cordelius is classed as an Assassin, so its kit generally leans into that role's usual strengths rather than flexing into others. Cordelius preys on Shelly, winning 61.8% of those encounters, but struggles into Wendy at just 28.6%. It pairs best with Wendy. Further down the list, Eve (57.2%) and Brock (57.0%) are also favorable fights for Cordelius. Bolt is a solid secondary pairing for Cordelius too, at 63.2% together. The Wendy matchup is severe enough that Cordelius players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. Cordelius is unusually mode-dependent, the gap between its best and worst modes is over 11.7%, so where you play it matters more than usual. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Mushroom Kingdom (52.0%) and Comboshrooms (48.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. Cordelius is a rare sight at 0.4% use rate, win rates on low-sample brawlers move around more, so read its numbers with that in mind. On Healthy Middle Ground specifically, Cordelius jumps to 67.1%, its single strongest map in rotation.
