Gear


Slot 1 – Phoenix Force Visor (Cyclops Unique) or Ruby-Quartz Sunglasses (Cyclops Unique). No contest, Sunglasses all the way. We actually get +to all optics with them, which is better than the power suite offered on the VIsor-and the stats are just in general more appealing. It gives damage, +energy damage, a significant chance to give a power+damage rating when used (Ricochet, lawl) while the Visor grants a proc that isn't totally great.

There's one more potentially awesome here, which is the Badoons Basic Weapon (All-Hero unique) This thing not only gives Ricochet tons..I mean tons of damage, but it has a 10% max health shred on it-which is incredible. If you find this, I would give it a whirl and see how amazing you are with it.

Slot 2 – Clan Rebellion Bodysuit (Cyclops Unique) - + to Optics, Tactics, +1 Energy and +1 Fighting. Nuff said. Oh, and modest health as well as def. Slot 3 – We've been trolled pretty hard here. We only have the 'Legacy of Punchclops' available, which is a Cyclops Unique that is absolutely trollworthy. Its from an extremely funny joke started at the inception of this game about playing Cyclops with his punchy power, but it helps us NOT AT ALL as Optics-and we don't have anything else.

Slot 4 – Cyclops' boots kinda suck, and the group buff they give isn't amazin. I recommend a cosmic to fill out abilities as high as possible or the Hydra Repulsor Boots (All Hero Unique) which are fairly good in the stats department, but we really want them for the nearly +500 energy damage (like another weapon). Gotta love it!

Slot 5 – Headmaster's Leather Jacket (Cyclops Unique) - +Damage, +Optics (yay), +Fighting powers, crit, brutal, attack speed. Just awesome.

Artifacts


FFoF gives us a ton of crit when we dodge-and we do often (despite not being in melee-don't let anyone tell you that you won't, stuff fires SO OFTEN in this game we do dodge).
Advanced Meta for the stats and +1 skills
Hand of Doom, and for the fourth slot I kinda like Kargul if you need crit. Fill with Hand of Doom or Xerogen if you need it. We probably don't need +1 to all skills because our Uniques can get Ricochet really high regardless (and barrage).

Fearsome Fist of Farallah
Advanced Meta Sensory Array
Hand of Doom (if not ACoC or Xerogen)
Reactive Repulsor or Vita-Ray (when we crit, we gain tons of dodge)

Other


Blessings: Hela. This dude is a crit machine.

Costume: +1 Energy and +1 Speed possibly? When the stat rework comes, moar attack speed might be better-but we do get capped pretty easily. I'm unsure on this one, its a tough choice. We really just want Energy.

Insignia: O'Gradysaurus Rex with damage, as in my other guides. I'm still not an expert on insignias.

Legendary: Gungir? I mean it depends. His gear doesn't have a -ton- of crit on it, so I like Gungir. You tend to blow stuff up really fast with all the Ricochet crits. You don't need the Energy from Cosmic Control, though Apollo isn't a bad choice either for straight damage.

Medallion: Again, depends on what you need. Bullseye for the crit is awesomesauce, Doom is fine. Pretty much whatever. Taskmaster gives you a bit of everything.

Relics: Probs Lemurias. Or karakasdfjhdsfhksdfsdfjh-you know, the +basic damage ones. Whatever works for you. We have no real way to get life back on hit, so I rather like Lemurias.

Leveling Strategy



Playstyle


1. Roll your way somewhere safe, mobs spawn.

2. Blow them up with fire. I.e. Ricochet Blast everything until it dies

3. Stuff's left? Only bosses I'm sure. Hold down barrage until its dead.

4. Profit
