Among Shelly players, Band-Aid leads the star power slot at 53.0%. It takes effect when the Super goes off, so how often you charge that Super decides how much the pick is worth. Shell Shock is the alternative at 47.0%. 57.0% of Shelly players equip Fast Forward. A gadget has no cap on uses in a match, just a cooldown between them, so the choice comes down to which effect is worth reaching for again and again. Clay Pigeons sees the rest of the picks at 43.0%. DAMAGE leads the gear slot at 38.3%, with SHIELD (36.0%) close behind. Gears add a smaller boost rather than a new effect, so this pick fine-tunes the build more than it redefines it.

About Shelly

Shelly's the perfect ranger: reliable, tough, and terrific with her shotgun. She never understood why Colt got to steal the limelight...

Band-Aid is the star power of choice for Shelly at 53.0%, usually paired with Fast Forward (57.0%). In the current meta Shelly rates C-tier; Tag Team is where it performs best, winning 65.4% of games. Shelly currently ranks #83 out of 106 rated brawlers in the overall meta. Shelly is classed as a Damage Dealer, so its kit generally leans into that role's usual strengths rather than flexing into others. Its best matchup is Brock (55.1% win rate against), while Gus is the pick that shuts it down hardest (18.3%). Gus is its most effective teammate. Further down the list, Meg (53.6%) and Jacky (51.9%) are also favorable fights for Shelly. Bolt is a solid secondary pairing for Shelly too, at 71.9% together. Shelly is currently one of the weaker picks in the roster; it can still work on the right map, but it's fighting the meta. The Gus matchup is severe enough that Shelly players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. Shelly is unusually mode-dependent, the gap between its best and worst modes is over 15.4%, so where you play it matters more than usual. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Band-Aid (53.0%) and Shell Shock (47.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. On No Surrender specifically, Shelly rises to 61.9%, its single strongest map in rotation.
