LavaManLee said: I know this is only the second day of his "Introduction" but he already seems worse than 5Mags. The other problem is, based on other characters you might run him with, when would you ever use his green/yellow/red? None of them are better than 5Thor/Okoye/Apoc that you might pair him with. Maybe he's meant to go with 5PX or Kitty? I really do not understand this character at all.
HoundofShadow said: I used Rogue and Prof $ in his third day node. I find this team relatively effective. Cyclop's yellow doesn't boost his own match damage, which means his allies have to tank for him as each turn passes by. Rogue and Prof $ have passive reducing damage abilities, which fits the situation. Use Rogue's Green to siphon Black Panther or Spider-Man so that each match of yellow gives you double the yellow ap instead. Use Prof $ to create more yellow tiles and also to heal your allies. I think people need to stop focusing on using all his three powers in one fight because I'm sure you don't do it with other teams that have active colours overlap. I'm going to focus on his yellow power and occasionally his green power, and let other allies use red and green. When the situation calls for his green over other allies' green, then I'll use it.Other ally I find effective is 5* Storm.I still think that Cyclops' perfect teammates are those who destroy (targeted) tiles, create criticial tiles and self-heal or have some form of damage reduction.
HoundofShadow said: It actually sounds plausible that new 5* characters with active power in either R/G/Y receives a "caution" note due to the high usage of 5*Thor, who helps to generate R/G/Y + and the choice to use +4ap boosts at the start of the game.
Daredevil217 said: Look. I like thematically what they were going with. Cyclops inspires his teammates. Ups their match damage so they are in the front lines tanking for him. This makes them likely to die first. In the P5 storyline, when a member of the Phoenix Five were defeated, the others got stronger. Eventually they all fell except for Scott and he became the fully powered Dark Phoenix.All of this is well represented in the game mechanics. But just like with Daken, the kit is interesting but the numbers are absolutely awful. Which sucks because you can tell a lot of thought went into making him “feel” like Cyke and do cool things. Sadly Daken, who was a huge disappointment for me, is way better than Cyke here. Looking at my character rankings I’m thinking the only ones I’d rank below him are Banner, Wasp, Stark, Kingpin and Widow. I’m torn as to who is better between Cyke and Ock. That’s awful.
