About Cornelius

Cornelius is a traditional, elderly wizard.
An active hero in guild raids, campaigns, outlands, etc., though facing challenges in PvP.
Possesses a “punching magic” style akin to Iris and Morrigan.

Specializes in combating magic, with skills that deal heavy damage to wizards, lower wizard stats, and increase magic defense. And his first artifact provides a magic defense buff.
The fourth skill reduces the skill level of a random target, triggered definitively against the boss in solo encounters.
The first skill’s power is contingent on the opponent’s status, proving highly effective in boss battles, particularly against strong status foes like Osh.
Effective at very low power in non-PvP battles, starting around 20,000 power.
Practical against Osh even at low power, especially when focusing on magic attacks. Training hurdles are significantly lower compared to the Ju formation.
A physical attack wizard in the “punching magic” style, benefiting from Magic attack, Armor penetration, and Critical buffs. Physical attack and Magic penetration buffs are irrelevant.
Lacks an armor penetration stat, necessitating training AF of heroes with armor-piercing buffs.
Prioritizes targeting wizards, serving as a counter to Amira or Iris in specific situations. Requires careful consideration in team composition.

Specialized against wizards but more challenging to use than other anti-wizard heroes, particularly compared to Isaac Rufus.
Ineffective against heroes with Dodge stat; countered by Aurora and Dante.
Easily countered by combos like Celeste + Axel, as it’s clear who the target is.
Limited applicability in PvP compared to Jhu.
As a one-hit-kill hero similar to Satori, K’arkh, and Yasmine, Cornelius is incompatible with auto-play, necessitating manual operation for optimal performance. Especially in the case of Cornelius, Armor penetration buffs are crucial, requiring careful coordination of skill timings with other heroes. Mastering Cornelius demands player skill and strategic execution.
The randomness and one-time activation of the fourth skill make it unreliable, easily canceled by heroes like Sebastian. Disabled in battles against Osh.
Skins are biased towards Magic attacks and Health, making damage control challenging.
Optimal upgrades differ between opponent battles and Osh battles, requiring a choice between the two. Upgrading the first artifact inadvertently reduces Isaac’s damage in Osh battles.
