Most picked build across all modes
Best star power for Shelly
Among Shelly players, Band-Aid leads the star power slot at 53.0%. Star powers unlock at Power 9 and run passively, either always active or triggering by themselves the moment their condition is met. Shell Shock is the alternative at 47.0%.
Best gadget for Shelly
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%.
Best gears for Shelly
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.
What Shelly players unlock

96.1% of maxed Shelly owners have unlocked her Hypercharge.
What players who own Shelly 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.
