“'''A celestial traveler in the universe.'''A mysterious celestial traveler who came to the [[Land of Dawn]] thousands of years ago and came to know many mysteries about the creation of the [[Land of Dawn]] and the Endless War. He will always bring revelations to mankind at critical moments.”

Lore & Story

To the far east of the '''Land of Dawn''', lies the unexplored Land of the Giants, home to Cyclops, a one-eyed dwarf-giant, with a surprisingly tiny frame. As '''Cyclops''' grew up, he turned out to be much different from other Giants, not only was he small in proportion, but also was he unique. As such, unlike the other Giants, he couldn't really rely on brute force. However, '''Cyclops''' was obsessed with stars and skies since he was little. He would gaze at the skies all day and night and consequently, he discovered the truth, that planets were always under orbital motion. And he also realized that this kind of movements contained unbelievable magical power. With an hourglass to load and control this kind of power, he became the famous "Starsoul Magician" of his homeland, granting him the ability to travel between space. Planetary motion would never stop, hence making Cyclops extremely powerful and invincible. Unfortunately, this realization made him feel quite lonely. One day, during one of Cyclops's space travels, he arrived at the Land of Dawn and found, much to his surprise, that there were many strong opponents, waiting for him to defeat. Cyclops believed that where he went and what he saw, he would conquer. With the powerful magical powers of planetary motion, by his side, Cyclops ventured into the '''Land of Dawn''', deciding that he'd bring down his name as one of the greatest heroes, that there ever was.

Combo Guides

TEAMFIGHT COMBOS

In teamfights, Cyclops should control the target enemy with his Ultimate, close in with his 2nd Skill, then finish off the target with his 1st Skill.

LANING COMBOS

Cyclops can use his 2nd Skill to close in on enemy heroes then hit them with both his 1st Skill and the spheres summoned by his 2nd Skill. This combo is very effective against enemy heroes.

Official Counter Analysis

Counters

Cyclops' short skill cooldown makes him strong against mid-ranged heroes with poor Mobility, such as Terizla and Alpha.

Countered By

Cyclops lacks Dash or Blink skills, making him the preferred target for heroes with gap closers and CC skills. Such as Lancelot, Alucard and Kagura.

Good Teammates

Cyclops is best with tanky heroes with strong CC skills, like Belerick and Minsitthar.
