Swashbuckler, Buccaneer, Musketeer, Witchdoctor = B.Some of these packs and their companions are better than others, but I’ll include all of the units here for completion’s sake. There are four packs in Pirate101: the Tribal Crew Pack, the Grizzly Beast Booster Pack, the Ashes of the Armada Pack, and the Pirate Nightmare Pack. Still, they have better options and should basically never use him. I’ve given him a slighter nicer grade for Privateers since they have Battle Zeal, and if they get lucky with it, Cornelius can get a good frenzy chain going. So, until witchdoctor companions receive some sort of permanent increase to their accuracy stat, Cornelius will be a non-viable unit.

On top of this, he gets a full 4 fewer normal talents than most other companions, a very odd oversight by Kingsisle. Thus, his accuracy is horrendous (20 points lower than other melee units), so he will rarely take good advantage of his primary ability. However, Cornelius is a melee witchdoctor unit. This is certainly a powerful ability, especially on an expendable unit like a companion. The first thing you’ll notice about him is his reskinned Reckless Frenzy ability. He’s bad, but he at least provides some good points of discussion, unlike the Cutthroat Pirate. Hoodoo Cornelius is an interesting companion.

They are strict downgrades of already bad companions or are otherwise useless These units won’t be included on the list or only mentioned briefly they should be no-brainers. If you bought one of these with the intention of doing serious PvP with it, you probably wasted your money. Even in those situations, they will be replacement level or slightly better, at best.

Units in this category will have one or two narrow uses at most, and will be otherwise non-viable. They’re not a high priority to purchase, but if you already have one or more of them, you didn’t waste your money per se. A companion with this grade will be very good in certain matchups, but will be severely lacking in other matchups. They’re still incredibly powerful in the right player’s hands. They’ll have one or more noticeable downsides that prevent them from being staples, but will be viable in most matchups.

However, they’re not units that you’ll use or see all the time. Companions receiving this grade are generally a great choice to invest in. It sees play in most to all matchups and is a top choice. If a companion receives this, it means that it should be a top priority if you decide to invest in bought units.
