Best star power for Cordelius

52.0% of Cordelius's star power picks go to Mushroom Kingdom. A brawler owns two star powers but fights with one, so the slot is a standing choice about how Cordelius plays rather than something you activate. The other option, Comboshrooms, sits at 48.0%.

Best gadget for Cordelius

Replanting is the gadget of choice at 57.0% pick rate. A gadget is the part of the loadout you press: unlike the passive star power, it fires on demand and can be used as often as you like once its cooldown is up. Poison Mushroom is the alternative at 43.0%.

Best gears for Cordelius

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.

What players who own Cordelius have unlocked, counted from tracked profiles over the last 30 days. "Unlocked first" is the share among the players who own only one of a pair, which is the closest thing to a preference the game data exposes: Supercell never publishes which build a player equipped in a match, so nothing here is a pick rate or a win rate by 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 59.8% win rate. Cordelius holds the #74 spot among 108 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 69.6% of those encounters, but struggles into Cosmo at just 35.8%. It pairs best with Bolt. Further down the list, Nita (65.4%) and Crow (62.0%) are also favorable fights for Cordelius. Cosmo is a solid secondary pairing for Cordelius too, at 68.0% together. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Mushroom Kingdom (52.0%) and Comboshrooms (48.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode.
