Hero Skills

Cyclops' skills reduce cooldown, immobilize enemies, and increase movement speed. With the right assembly, the hero is able to kill the most tenacious characters both in the middle and at the end of the game.

Passive Skill - Star Hourglass

Each time you deal damage with skills, the character reduces the recharge time of their abilities by 0,5 seconds.

With this skill, the hero can quickly apply skills, causing a lot of damage.

First Skill - Cosmic Strike

Cyclops fires two orbs that deal magic damage to every enemy in its path.

If you hit with two spheres, then with the help of a passive skill, you can reduce the total cooldown time by one second.

Second skill - Attack of the planets

The character surrounds himself with several spheres that deal magic damage to nearby enemies. Enemy characters are the priority target. If several spheres hit the same enemy, then the damage will be slightly reduced. Also increases movement speed by 30% for 2 seconds.

This ability is Cyclops' primary source of damage. In the mid and late game, the hero is able to destroy enemies in a very short time, since the damage depends on the magic power as a percentage. More power in the later stages - faster killing of opponents.

Ultimate - Star Trap

The hero releases a sphere that pursues the enemy and deals magic damage, stunning him for 1–2 seconds. The stun time depends on the distance to the target (the longer the sphere flies, the longer the stun time).

This skill is great for catching solo heroes. Cyclops will not let go of anyone just like that and will quickly destroy opponents with spheres from the second ability.

How to play Cyclops

Cyclops has decent skill damage, so in all phases of the game, he should be focused on clearing lanes from minions and killing enemy heroes.

Beginning of the game

At the beginning of the match, you need to clear waves of minions using the first skill and at the same time try to hit enemy heroes. After the character has received the second skill, you need to try to use it as often as possible.

The main thing is to use the second ability as close to enemy characters as possible, since the spheres can hit minions.

Mid game

In the middle of the game, Cyclops must take part in team fights. At the same time, do not forget about killing minions, since the damage from his skills falls without buying the necessary items for magic damage.

late game

Cyclops should also be focused on mass battles and clearing lines. The main target for the ultimate should be key enemy heroes that deal a lot of damage (the killers, magicians and arrows). The character catches them, and the team quickly kills the captured enemy.

With proper and timely assembly, the hero is able to destroy enemy fighters и tanks in a fraction of a second, if they decide to get close to him.

Conclusions

Cyclops is a powerful magician who remains relevant at all stages of the game. Decent damage and a small cooldown of skills allow you to constantly be the center of attention. With the help of his ultimate, he can control an enemy character for a long time, which can be very useful in the final stages of a match, when enemy shooters and magicians deal devastating damage.
