Cypher Tips And Tricks – How To Win
As I mentioned above, Cypher is a support agent who can spy on enemies. He can use his abilities to lure opponents into his traps along with revealing their position. Players can combine Cypher’s abilities to block flanks and support their allies in battle.
Place the Spycam near the bomb site to keep an eye on the location while players can hold another position on the map. If checking in the bomb site isn’t your style then the spycam can be placed to monitor corners, rushing points, and revealing the opponent’s location.
Furthermore, Spycam can be used to shoot tracking darts on enemies. This will reveal their position even through the wall. Use the Operator Sniper to st up wall bangs.
Cyber Cage is best used for defense. Players can place the trap and activate it when an opponent gets close, this will not only slow them don but will also make it hard on them to spot the trap. Players can also hide near the trap and when an opponent is slowed down, they can come ut and surprise them.
Tripwires are best used for blocking flanks. Not only it’ll trap the opponent who walks through it but, will also reveal the location to every teammate.
Neural Theft is the ultimate ability for Cypher. The best time for this ability’s use is when the enemy team is outnumbered and players need to find them. Using this ability, players can also hack into the dead body on an opponent. However, this will also reveal the players’s location to the opponents.
That is all for our Valorant Cypher Agent Guide with tips on all of its abilities and how to effectively use its abilities.
