Abilities
Star Power
Shell Shock
Anything caught by Super Shell is slowed for two seconds, which usually turns a landed Super into a finished kill.
Star Power
Band-Aid
A bar that charges over time and heals her the instant she drops past a low health threshold. It has to recharge before it can save her again.
Gadget
Fast Forward
16s cooldownDashes Shelly a couple of tiles in the aimed direction and refills every shell, so it serves as either an escape or a closer.
Gadget
Clay Pigeons
18s cooldownHalves the spread and stretches the range of her next three shots, giving her a way to trade at distances a shotgun normally cannot reach.
Hypercharge
Double Barrel
+30% stats while activeWidens the spread of her Super and adds projectiles to it, so one shot covers more ground and lands more pellets on a clustered team.

reviewed 19 Jul 2026A shotgunner who deletes anything inside three tiles and does almost nothing outside seven.
Early game
Chip at max range to build the Super rather than pushing — an unshelled Shelly loses to almost every marksman.
Positioning
Sit on the edge of a bush and let people walk to you; her spread means the closer they get, the more of it lands.
Using your Super
Super Shell breaks walls, so use it to open a lane into a camping thrower rather than saving it for a duel you may not get.
Common mistakes
- Walking down an open lane at a marksman, where her pellets spread to nothing before they arrive
- Spending the Super on a full-health tank instead of on the squishy standing behind them
- Firing at max range and charging their Super for them
- Bushy maps where she can reach shotgun range without crossing open ground
- Against tanks, whose size means every pellet in the spread connects
- Brawl Ball, where her Super clears the goal mouth and scores in the same motion
By mode
Brawl Ball
Fast Forward with the ball is a goal from further out than defenders expect.
Solo Showdown
Her burst wins any surprise fight, so open crates near bushes and never in the open.
