Calm aim coaching: pendragon.store/products/coaching As promised I have opened up some slots for personal calm aim coaching from me, and will be accepting the first 5 paid students for my first batch.🥳 I have been working on a calm aim video guide the last few months so this is mainly to see how the entire process works through the mind of the viewers, in order to better tailor the video guide properly to you the viewer before dropping it. The small group of students is so I can focus on them and streamline my process without getting overwhelmed, and then later on I might accept more if I continue doing them after the full guide drops, but I most likely won't as this is a more limited time thing. ❤ If you cannot afford it please do not pay! just wait for the video to drop!! 😡
Coming from a lower-level cypher main (silver), a lot of the initial enticement to get into Cypher comes from the util placement that gets you kills without them ever seeing you. So a lot of Cyphers I see at this level have great trips but don't know how to properly utilize them or don't focus on improving gunplay because they expect to get the kill before you see them. Also Pendragon is a goated series I loved those books
Yeah 100%. A lot of lower level players pick cypher to play passive and compensate for their bad aim which ends up holding them in low elo for years, because they are constantly improving their cypher setups and not their overall gameplay. It's why I always advocate for anyone below Ascendant to learn a couple of simple setups for each map and invest the rest of the free time into fundamentals like crosshair placement, peeking methods, aim fundamentals etc. This way they can build upon their already built foundation with their cypher knowledge rather than overcompensate with setups.
Cypher plays a major role in clearing hookah/bathroom/garden/on site/closed areas with one smoke and camera before your duelist enters into hookah/bathroom so that the initiator can focus it's resources into the actual site
There's no such thing as "basic". This is a flawed measurement that Cypher mains use and is exactly what I mean when I say players overcomplicate and overthink when they play Cypher. The value of a setup comes from it's effectiveness and not in it's complexity. In a meta where every Cypher main has the craziest Tiktok setups I found that on many occasions switching up and doing the opposite has caused great success and increased the effectiveness of each trip, of course you can't use the same setups over and over so make sure you're constantly switching up trip locations and your positioning. However! I strongly believe that until around Ascendant 1-2 low elo players are so scared of executing sites that it actually makes Cypher harder than in higher elos. "Basic" setups tend to work less there since they play so damn slowly, they walk every angle and end up seeing the trips, but that's also why I recommend learning fundamentals instead of crazy cypher setups. Having good technique greatly beats having Tiktok setups :) For the first clip where they kept walking into the trips if I remember correctly their gekko mentioned their team vc was bugged so it was a 1 in a million type of moment where the stars aligned. It'll probably next happen again to me :(
@@Pendragon_gg I mean I have mained Cypher for a year now with 450 hrs and I get those 25kill + games but ig ppl are getting used to most setups like in ascent A I can think of 3 setups with 2 trips in site which gets easily broken if u have sova or raze but if u play backsite.. retake is hard so yah I'm hardstuck now
@@Pendragon_gg plus they keep checking angles and enter slow idk if it's just my server thing it's not like I don't get kills using trips but it has become quite rare to get like a ace or 4k
one thing i learned from this video, after being hardstuck diamond, i now know you dont have to face the switch on the door to close it on Ascent A site
I appreciate the kind words and support ❤️ and yeah I was 1k subs just yesterday and now almost 5k! the amount of love and support has been absolutely incredible :D
It's something I actively try to be mindful of since I'm prone to frustration due to my perfectionism. Luckily with games like Valorant every game is winnable if you play insanely well, so I find it hard to blame teammates since I know if I play better we would win. I remind myself "If tenz was on my team we would win". So I just focus on myself and getting better :) Which is the oppsite of league (which I played for almost a decade) where if your team ints then many games are truly unwinnable.
I just discovered your channel yesterday. safe to say you are one of my new favourite valo creators. you deserve so much more recognition, ans ill be looking forward to all your new content 🔥🔥
I often intentionally don't use it. E.g. if people rotate away if they see cam, and to make the enemies guess where I am. Cam is great if I want early info for fast rotations etc but I prefer to have fun and just frag out :)
In the last clip, only god knows what Sova was trying to do. He baited you into oblivion, and with that plantspot no way he wouldnt panic the moment Deadlock taps it
I've been a duelist main since I started playing around a year and a half ago and bounce around Immo 1-3. I picked up Cypher just a few days ago as my new main agent (A huge change I know lol) These videos are a big help, thanks
is it just me or are the graphics so good here? I can't quite put my finger on what it is but it looks so satisfying. Is it a video filter or in game graphics settings? I would love to replicate them in my game if its possible
I liked the first 2 trips on lotus c, another good trip i like to use is off the right side aide of the box, u can place it diagonally across the entrance covering the whole entrance
when at lotus C site, you can put trap near the big box, then you can wallshoot from top C behind (not waterfall, the other one from spawn defending). It is good for when you want to go back and wait your friend
Good video mate, will use your ideas. whats your rank? your teammates sometimes are playing very odd, like diamond level, and the enemies are also sometimes not that great in positioning. Your gameplay definitely deserves a good high rank, like immortal or something Also love how patient you are with those trip kills, very confident love it
As a cyper main this guy is the reason my enemy slow pushing trying to get info if cyper on site. And if it is then they always rotate lmao. Me: "Holding into nothing"💀⚰️
So what if it is. Just enjoy the video, or leave. Nothing constructive about weird comments like that. Gotta be real bored to pop into someone's videos just to comment some arrogant nonsense nobody asked for
why does it feel like it takes longer for enemies to kill you in higher ranks, ive been diamond 3 before and i feel that was easier than gold (which i am rn hehe...)
It's usually differences in timings and movement (not using ad movement and also walking around corners). I'd also argue the difference in mental clarity too. For example for you it might seem you are dying really fast but in reality it's just your perception making it seem fast due to inefficiencies in your gameplay such as your crosshair placement being off so you're wasting time readjusting, your movement being off so you are wasting time stopping your target -> reacting -> stopping, panicking, and lots of other factors. If you went and recorded + timed every interaction you have with enemies in each elo you will come to the conclusion that time to kill does decrease as ranks increase. When I watch my friends play in lower elo games the games feel like they are being played in slow motion there's almost all the time in the world to react even when caught off guard. One way you can fix it is by going into deathmatch and removing your fear of dying by moving around the map until you spot enemies and then simply aiming at their heads without ever shooting and then just track their heads and they move around trying to shoot you you need to also move realistically left or right using only A or D and you will see that it's all in your head since you're not dying as fast as you initially thought. Once this fear of death is removed you will stop panicking and you will see the enemies movements super clear and you will stop feeling like you die immediately.
I'll put thought into it 🤔 the reason I don't really do setup guides is because my setups tend to be very situational and based on past enemy patterns/ pathing and previous trip locations for extra mindgames and it's quite hard to convey those into a guide. I do have a couple defaults per map that I could do guides on so we shall see in the future :D
I never heard your voice so I don't know how your streaming language is going to be. But anyways that's the future. I hope it will be good. Here the streaming language refers to not to use bad words. Just stay what you are.So , i am subscribing now. 🎉🎉Love from India 🎉🎉 I hope this channel grows🎉

@@ThaDoggo dude just getting to ascendant is enough to help you improve aim
You're the reason I started playing Cypher.
His trip reworks just makes him even more fun to play.

love how chill your vids are plus you give a lot of helpful commentary during gameplay
playing against a cypher with good trips while attacking has to be the most rage inducing part of this game
keep it up man, ur videos are amazing, love this style. ngl youre giving me prime yay vibes, with low sens and tapping everyone 💗
I miss prime Yay 😔
Beatifull calm aim and chill mindset!!!!

im truly grateful i learnt so many setups from this dude
4:30 he caught me off guard lol
JUST F*CKIN GIVE HIM THE ACE BROO
wow. a cypher main that is actually funny. a rare occurrence indeed.
bro your vids are so comfortable to watch makes me feel a better player, u deserve a sub
one thing i learned from this video, after being hardstuck diamond, i now know you dont have to face the switch on the door to close it on Ascent A site
First time i watched pendragon's videos. i think i'm gonna end up watching a lot more due to the satisfaction i gain from this
bro popped off. I see comments about 800 subs a few days ago. it's almost 4k now. Great content mate, truly worthwhile
I appreciate the kind words and support ❤️ and yeah I was 1k subs just yesterday and now almost 5k! the amount of love and support has been absolutely incredible :D
2:21 WOW i have to use this one, also i love your content and text, im a fan
love this style of val content
I love you more 😳
You know he's serious when he has cypher as his profile picture
The most serious! 🕵♂️
Ngl cypher is a hell of a ability carried agent
I love how you play this game with that background music, always calm even when losing, I envy you

I LOVE THE NOTES YOU PUT
Thanks a lot 😭 i get paranoid that people don't care about them
broooo you are sooo goood frrrrr how is that brotherrrrr

4:11 he played cypher so much hes becoming him
great stuff i watched his video last night at 2k subs now he’s at 4k, keep up the good work.
yeah the love and support is crazy! I blinked and went from 1k to 4k over night 😭 I appreciate you all so much
yeah ik i was watching before bed and i wake up and at 4k
idk who tf are u but 4:29 minutes into the video I just had to subscribe and drop a like SUPER CLEAN GAMEPLAY INDEED PENDRAGON IS THE GOAT
Much love
that battlepass skin has to be one of the best
Agreed, if it had a special sound that was deeper it would be perfect
It's nice to see that even in high elo, people refuse to shoot cypher tripwires for their teammates.
yay new pendragon!!! love watching your videos
Appreciate you 🤝❤️ got more bangers coming up soon >:)
6:22 the accent is like a Sova)
as a cypher main i eat this sh*t up. loved the content from the start, ez sub
if cypher was a duelist this guy would be in the best teams
I just discovered your channel yesterday. safe to say you are one of my new favourite valo creators. you deserve so much more recognition, ans ill be looking forward to all your new content 🔥🔥
Thanks a lot for the kind words and support
Ngl, ppl never go into my trips, like i barely see 1 trip trigger in 5-10 rounds 💀
thank you so much for teaching me all of this. I was so braindead that I forgot you can wallbang and instead waste your cypher smokes and just die
Valorant walls are made of paper :) it should be illegal to not shoot through them!
way to stay calm in that last clip. i wouldve been yelling at the sova to hurry up lol
I had it under control 😎
ur aim is so calm and everything is so good ur such an underrated cypher main fr! just 1 tip i mostly didnt see ya using ur cam
I often intentionally don't use it. E.g. if people rotate away if they see cam, and to make the enemies guess where I am. Cam is great if I want early info for fast rotations etc but I prefer to have fun and just frag out :)
Oh.. nice bro keep it up i love ur vids
@@Pendragon_gg can't you just put it on other site so you can make them rotate to your site
I KEEP PRESSING TAB EVERY TIME HE GETS A KILL (out of habit) 😂
OMG i love you and your gameplay dude your so skilled
I love you more
Best Cypher i've ever seen so far
this vid alone deserves a sub! great video!!
Those shots are CLEAN AF resspect, I hope we never meet in a comp
a cypher with good setups and cracked aim? finally
one of a kind >:)
3:58 DID THAT JETT TELEPORT?
Great clips! Also, "We don't talk about it." lmao
Bro is putting the prophecy in place
congratulations for the 1k subscribers!
So this is why a lot of gold to plat cypher player started using guardian. Love your content man keep it up
Oh no 😂 I'm sorry for what I've caused
idk why i watched this i dont even play valorant but it was realy satisfaing so ty
I'm glad you could enjoy my video :) it makes me happy hearing that
In the last clip, only god knows what Sova was trying to do. He baited you into oblivion, and with that plantspot no way he wouldnt panic the moment Deadlock taps it
LOL yeah no idea but I had the situation under wraps :) I was just toying around with the deadlock
I became Cypher main after watching your videos .( opponent players get irritated ) XD.
I've been a duelist main since I started playing around a year and a half ago and bounce around Immo 1-3. I picked up Cypher just a few days ago as my new main agent (A huge change I know lol)
These videos are a big help, thanks
ur gaphics is so good man!
damn, this is the 4th cypher channel i found (not in a bad way), good quality too, nice
if my team got caught like that first clip it would send me into a downward spiral
Swinging with 1hp is a different kind of confidence
is it just me or are the graphics so good here? I can't quite put my finger on what it is but it looks so satisfying.
Is it a video filter or in game graphics settings? I would love to replicate them in my game if its possible
Bro is a guardian main
only 600 subscribers is crazy, you're really smart
Appreciate you chief 🫡 600 in 2 weeks has been an incredible show of support :D looking forward to the growth we will push this year

I like your calm aim more than cypher trips, can I know the refresh rate of your monitor ?
240hz I find it kinda unplayable under that
this is some elaborate scheme 😭🔥

always calm as ever haha, keep up the good stuff pendragon, may i ask whats the first bgm you used? i love those kinds of music haha
Good video mate, will use your ideas.
whats your rank?
your teammates sometimes are playing very odd, like diamond level, and the enemies are also sometimes not that great in positioning.

Also love how patient you are with those trip kills, very confident love it
love your high quality valorant settings

eeey a fellow cypher main with dragon in his name. I've reinstalled valorant after like 2months break and got instantly recommended your video.
Seems like low elo or unrated. These opponents are all in disorder. Good players never get caught in default cypher trips.
He is immortal
its probably unrated but up to high asc in eu and all ranks except radiant on other regions people usually get caught easily

huge respect, 1 request can you do a video of trip setups? that will help alot
I'll put thought into it 🤔 the reason I don't really do setup guides is because my setups tend to be very situational and based on past enemy patterns/ pathing and previous trip locations for extra mindgames and it's quite hard to convey those into a guide.
