On these maps Cordelius loses more often than it wins. The match count tells you how much weight to give each one.

A win rate only means something when enough matches sit behind it. Next to every number we say how sure we are:

• reliable — 200 matches or more: a solid basis for a verdict.
• fairly reliable — 80 to 199 matches: enough to spot a real pattern.
• early signal — 30 to 79 matches: a hint, not a verdict.
• too few matches — fewer than 30 matches, so we do not show a win rate yet.

A 60% win rate over 40 matches can easily be luck; a 54% win rate over 800 matches is a real edge. Maps and modes with fewer than 30 matches are listed without a win rate on purpose.

Blind-pick safety is coaching metadata, not a meta ranking: it says how risky Cordelius is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Cordelius scores 5/10.

Gadget: Mushroom Cannon — Extra burst in the shadow realm where you force a 1v1.

Star Power: Mush-Room — Healing in the shadow realm lets you win the forced 1v1 almost every time.

Gears: Gadget Charge + Health — Your super is your whole identity; uptime and survival matter.

Pull the support or sniper, never the tank.

As a assassin, Cordelius is favoured into marksman, sharpshooter, thrower, artillery, support.

• With your shadow-realm super for a forced 1v1 you focus Gene: Gene has low HP and a slow attack.
• With your shadow-realm super for a forced 1v1 you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage.
• With your shadow-realm super for a forced 1v1 you focus Poco: Poco can barely defend himself.
• With your shadow-realm super for a forced 1v1 you focus Pam: Pam lacks mobility and her damage falls off at range.

Cordelius struggles against tank, controller, fighter and on maps that do not support the assassin role.
