Explore abilities and upgrades.

Basic attack1 options
Artwork unavailableBUCKSHOTDetails

Fires a spread of pellets. A close target can take more of the spread, while distance makes it harder to land every pellet. Use the wide pattern to check an approach, but close the gap before relying on a full burst.

Super1 options
Artwork unavailableSUPER SHELLDetails

Fires a stronger blast that breaks cover and knocks surviving enemies back. It can stop an opponent's approach or open the map, but removing walls also changes which routes remain safe for Shelly.

Gadgets2 options
FAST FORWARDDetails

Shelly dashes and refills her ammunition. Use it to change position, escape pressure, or continue a close fight after spending ammo. Check the destination before committing; landing in the open can undo the value of the refill.

CLAY PIGEONSDetails

Shelly fires focused, longer-range shots with a tighter spread. Aim deliberately at a clear target rather than using the wide-shot habits of her normal attack. It helps her contest distance without walking straight into enemy fire.

Star Powers2 options
SHELL SHOCKDetails

Enemies hit by Shelly's Super are slowed. Use the opening to line up follow-up shots or let a teammate finish the target. The slow also helps protect an ally from an approaching enemy.

BAND-AIDDetails

When ready, Band-Aid automatically restores some health after Shelly falls below its health threshold. It must recharge before it can trigger again. Treat it as a recovery buffer, not permission to absorb an entire enemy team's damage.

Hypercharge1 options
DOUBLE BARRELDetails

Makes Super Shell wider while Hypercharge is active. The larger blast is easier to connect across a group or an approach lane; it does not remove the need to aim the Super.

Traits0 options

Gears6 options
DAMAGEDetails

Increases damage while the Brawler is below half health. The extra pressure is conditional, not a reason to remain in a losing exchange.

GADGET COOLDOWNDetails

Reduces the wait between Gadget uses. Choose it when repeated access to the selected Gadget meaningfully supports the fight.

HEALTHDetails

Improves health recovery. Leave enough room for natural recovery to begin instead of expecting the Gear to erase damage during continued attacks.

SHIELDDetails

Adds a consumable shield that recovers while the Brawler is at full health. Preserve recovery time between fights to restore the extra protection.

SPEEDDetails

Increases movement speed in bushes. Its value depends on having useful bush routes rather than simply equipping it on an open map.

VISIONDetails

Briefly reveals hidden opponents after you damage them. It helps track targets entering bushes, but does not reveal invisibility granted by abilities.

Overview

Description
Shelly is a close-range damage dealer who makes it dangerous to rush her team. Her shotgun spreads its damage across several pellets, so a close hit is much more threatening than clipping an opponent at the edge of her range. Shell Shock turns her Super into a slowing tool, while Band-Aid helps her recover when a fight turns against her.

How to play: Use cover to approach, but avoid chasing an enemy across an open lane. Hold a position they need to enter, then punish the approach. Keeping a charged Super can be more useful than spending it on a distant target, especially when a teammate needs protection.

Strengths: Close-range pressure, stopping aggressive approaches, and turning a defensive fight into a counterattack. Shell Shock helps keep a target within reach; Fast Forward offers repositioning and an ammo refill.

Limitations: Wide shots lose much of their damage at distance. An opponent who keeps their distance can make every approach costly. A movement Gadget is not a reason to dash into several opponents.

Practical tips: Check nearby bushes before committing. Leave yourself a retreat route. After landing your Super, aim your follow-up instead of assuming every pellet will connect. Choose Clay Pigeons when you need a narrower shot at range, or Fast Forward when movement and ammunition matter more.
