I can’t stress how rewarding it feels to play cypher aggressively. By the way, do NOT sleep on improvising your utility with this guy, you won’t believe how many times I switched up my whole setup mid round to catch enemies off guard-my favorite is when enemies clear potential trip spots, only to be greeted with one the next time they cross them. (Had this happen the other day)
He’s very strong, 2 tripwires and a camera allows him to handle 3 angles, his cages are amazing , setting them up anywhere and especially on corners, allows him to know exactly when an enemy pushes into them (which no other agent can do) and get free kills from spraying
I think cypher is an agent who can be a game changer based on your personal game style. For me, when I play cypher, I see if my team is able to enter site and get a plant. If no one can then I will. On defense, I basically put traps in such a way that they feel they got the site and then suddenly gets bullied by my traps :-p
@@LissaMaraisfor deff for cypher i usualy only used 1 cages at enemy mostly entry for example on ascend A only put cages at main door and cover 1 trap or camera viewing at cages ways and the other traps can put on remote door near tree 1 cages for escape if you cant deffend site or retake if enemy go B
Bro im a cypher main, and as much as I enjoy using him, maining him, and abusing pepol with trips and his cam. I am still pressed on how Cypher's trip costs 200 bucks and gets destroyed in 1 hit😭
I play cypher non aggressively and love it, mostly use his util to block off the entrances to a site completely and move to the other, or prevent the opponent from flanking unnoticed. Swaps between attack and defense.
im a cypher main and playing him is not just fun but very challenging to play. when i play offense i play him more as a lurker aslong as you know where enemy pos is and predicting where they might go and on defense putting trips on an ''expect the unexpected spots'' and using his cages as baits and also using my cam oftently and being ready for a retake if enemy takes the site. tbh many players i played appreciates my cypher plays and also how im using my comms giving us a higher chance of winning.
sadly most of this is true, however a true cypher main can make the entire game play into his hands and he simply has to play his setups and switch them up all the time. the real trick to playing cypher is to know your enemys position without them knowing yours. thats why phantom is better for a cypher main, since it doesnt have tracers. yes he can be aggresive, but i think he is a jack of all trades. you can be aggresive with deep info and caging angles and lurking. you can also be sneaky with corner cages and different one-ways. just having a cypher on your team can make the attackers not touch a site entirely. cypher is very strong in the current meta, but because of his hard to learn kit unfortunately he is the least played agent.
@@Bentrix18 you should watch these different cypher content creators, cus i think they cover the different playstyles very well: spawns (he plays a lot around his setups and plays very passively but also with big brain plays) Akrethedog (he has some really nice corner cages and does huge plays and he also has some nice oneways) Dinghy (i woulkd say he plays the aggresive cypher very well) keep in mind all of these youtubers play their setups but they play them in a different way. They are all amazing tho u should check em out.
u got it right and i dont know why cypher is not mostly played hes good and useful in defense. alsoif your team has a good comms you can have the W very easy
i still use him and to make sure people won't talk about shit when i play him is throwing my skin to the ground so they just say thanks and won't elaborate more. that's more than enough lol
sometime playing in a minority style, doesn't mean it's the best, that's because a lot of cypher players have the exact same game style it doesn't mean that the small amount of it has the best, as a cypher main, defending flanks of your teammates is pretty much the best way to play cypher, and believe me this is coming from a player who is South African, and with high ping comes its disadvantage but when you have a tripwire and you're defending flanks you become a radiant.
Learn to play him, in ranked he can have an insane value if played right, but yes he is not like fade or kj where you don't need to aim. I agree that he needs a buff tho
@@arthurangot2356 I do know how to play him, I was a Cypher main for a awhile during and after the beta and loved him but as other agents came out he just became obsolete. You can do work with him but have to do twice as much work for less results so why bother.
@@izanrodrigosatorres2776 I hated saying it because I really did like playing him but now it's kinda pointless, the trip wires are so easy to spot and even if you miss them and get caught you can do easily shoot them rendering them useless, the cages are also pretty useless as my fat ass could throw them farther and they barely last for any time at all for what? A loud non descriptive noise? His ult is pointless requiring you to be so close to the dead corpse that it can't be used offensively and the effect is so short that it's pretty much pointless and I would rather just use a sova dart or fade orb or any other Intel giving ability then his ult (edit was because I fat fingered the send button)
Also forgot the camera, uhhhhh it's kinda good and pretty much the only thing worth using in his kit because you can get pretty creative with placement and get good Intel from it pretty much rendering his Ult again pointless
Here’s how to actually play cypher so when you’re going until loading screen and choosing to select cypher think about your life decisions and then select chamber

@@BasedBenny he is not strong
@@Mr.Foot1986 i agree, but is still playable..u just have to always depend your plays on enemies plays
@@Mr.Foot1986 he is, I played him today and it was way too easy on defence.
@@rancho9083 let's be honest playable or not it depends on the player he is my main but I do think he needs a buff

Can you teach me how to do so? (The last part). I'm a KJ main btw but, I'd like to try Cypher. I'm still confused about using his cage 😭
@@LissaMarais with cage basically it allows you to be aggressive and defensive so don’t be scared to use it to get out of a sticky situation

@@Bentrix18 if you want also some smart plays u should watch Peak
I use cypher as duel use cam to peek site use smoke to close danger sight use trap at ct to make enemy harder to retake
How i love cypher, he is so fun to playing with
I think if they make all his non ultimate abilities rechargeable by cooldown, that rework would made him into pro play again
Not to mention when he is 2 ultra orbs off his irl you can play aggressive grab a orb and get a kill for lots of info
"Think like you are a predator.. Wait no thats not what I mean" - me
Been waiting for the sova one do it for the sova main mate
Duelist moment
You should make one with chamber
Thank you
Omen next please
Give dat man buffs
😢
I love camping wall bang and clutch for team
Sova next plsss
I play cypher… this is the most accurate you can describe how to play him in 60 seconds cutos to you
Tip of the day: if u spectate someone and type in chat /cc u will get their crosshair
I get kill only tnx traps 😂
i still use him and to make sure people won't talk about shit when i play him is throwing my skin to the ground so they just say thanks and won't elaborate more. that's more than enough lol
Can you please do skye next?
Can u do omen
In defense you play close corners and of your trip wires . .
Here before it blows up
