This is the best build for Cord (in my opinion). Rlly good for Heist, Hotline and SD
Replanting
Cordelius jumps over a piece of terrain quickly.
Comboshrooms
Hitting the second mushroom to the same target as the first, deals 30% extra damage.
Speed
Gain 15% Speed increase when moving in bushes.
Shield
Gain extra 900 Health as a consumable Shield. The shield regenerates in 10 seconds, when at full health.
Guide
The reason why the jump gadget is better than the cancelling gadget is because int is way more versatile. Jumping over walls, hopping over attacks it is just way better to escape and to ambush. Comboshrooms is also better than the other Star Power because yet again it is more viable, when in the shadow realm cord already reloads and moves faster so if he needs to escape he can easily. Comboshrooms is just way better to put out damage especially in heist. I really don't need to explain the shield gear. The speed gear is just for extra mobility especially in maps like Hot Potato but the damage gear is still viable if you don't have such a good defence.
Game Modes
Heist
Especially in Hot Potato
Showdown
Cord is already good at SD
Works Well With
Lily
Synergizes very well with cord, vanish gadget and cords speed can apply insane pressure.
Mortis
Cord can push the enemy into a corner and Cord can finish them off.
