How to counter Cordelius

Playing Cordelius

reviewed 19 Jul 2026

An assassin whose Super drags one enemy into a private realm, forcing a one-on-one that his team does not have to join.

Early game

Chip from bushes to charge the Super; his mushrooms only reach five tiles, so anything he does before the Super exists is opportunistic.

Positioning

On the flank at the edge of a bush, because he needs to be close enough to open the realm and fast enough to leave if the duel turns.

Using your Super

Pull the brawler his team most wants gone, and only when he can actually win the duel; pulling a tank hands them a free fight he cannot finish.

Common mistakes

  • Opening the realm on a full-health tank he has no chance of killing inside it
  • Using the Super to escape, which trades his only engage for a few seconds of safety
  • Fighting at 5.33 tiles against brawlers who out-range him by four
  • Against a single carry whose removal collapses the enemy team
  • Bushy maps where he can reach 5.33 tiles without crossing open ground
  • Modes where taking one brawler away for a few seconds wins the objective

By mode

Gem Grab

Removing the gem carrier for a few seconds is enough to take the mine.

Knockout

A one-on-one against their best brawler decides the round on its own.
