Game plan

Cordelius fires two mushrooms at mid range and charges his Super passively when enemies are near. His Super sends him and one enemy into the Shadow Realm, a 1v1 where neither can use Supers or gadgets and Cordelius is faster with a quicker reload. He wins by isolating a target.

  1. Send squishy, high-value targets to the Shadow Realm, not tanks.
  2. Enter the realm with full health and ammo. The 1v1 is decided quickly.
  3. Stay near enemies to charge your Super passively before committing.
